ALBUM - NGAHERE GOLD DREDGE.

About this image

DescriptionThe Last of the Gigantic Alluvial Gold Miners.
The Grey Valley gold dredge sits like a giant in the Grey River. For more than 30 years it has floated amidst a riverscape dominated by the moody Paparoa Range to the west, and between the villages of Blackball and Ngahere on opposite sides of the river.Map^[1]ContributorTony Kokshoorn

This could be the greatest tourist attraction on the Coast . With so many people associating with the program GoldRush there are millions to be made with good marketing. Go for it Coast.
