Shantytown Entrance |
When i travel to New Zealand, i visit Shantytown. Shantytown is a tourist attraction in the West Coast Region of the South Island of New Zealand. Located ten kilometres south of Greymouth,
the town was constructed and opened in the early 1970s and consists of
some thirty re-created historic buildings making up a 19th century
gold-mining town. The town is surrounded by native forest, and is one of
the region's most popular attractions.

Shantytown's features include a bush
sawmill experience, gold panning, and a steam railway which runs three
locomotives from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The town has
its own church, which is used for weddings, and there is an education
centre.

With two village streets filled with shops and buildings to explore,
you'll find fascinating stories of life in the early years of
colonisation both on the West Coast and New Zealand.
