he train from the Waikino station (you can bring your bike) will
take you to Goldfields Railway Station on Wrigley St in Waihi.
See historic buildings, old trains and sheltered restoration areas.
Historically, Waihi’s railway station really hummed, with pull-off tracks
to accommodate 97 wagons in 1907, growing to a yard capacity of
214 in 1952.
If riding your bicycle
from Waikino, the
Hauraki Rail Trail track
continues east along
the Ohinemuri River and
then over a meandering
trail, ending at the
award winning Gold
Discovery Centre (Waihi
iSITE), which houses an
impressive interactive
museum exhibit about
the enormous Martha Pit
Mine. Check website for
tour prices.
This vast pit is now rimmed by the Pit Rim Walkway which begins
at the Cornish Pumphouse. Interpretative signs give interesting
facts about the spectacular Martha Mine as you complete the
4km loop.
