New Zealand Gully Walk!!
This
is a wonderful 7 km walk linking Greenbushes townsite with North
Greenbushes. The gully was named after the New Zealand born miners.
They look up mining tenement in he late 1900's. 
To
collect water for their tin sluicing operations they constructed a dam
with a 4 m wall by hand using horses. The lakes are the remnants of
historic alluvial tin dredging. There were many small operators mining
this area. 
Puddling,
panning and sluicing methods were used to mine tin. Tin was first
discovered in 1886 making the fields the longest continuously mined
operations in WA.The trail leads to the old North Greenbushes railway station, built in 1898, seen here in the picture to the left.
