That's a big hole
28 February 2008 | Waihi
Waihi has been a major gold mining town for a long time. The first mines, opened in the 1870's were named for Martha, the niece of the successful stakeholder. The mine didn't last that long before it became uneconomical to work, but around it and other strikes in the area, Waihi boomed into a sizeable town.
In the 1970's the price of gold rocketed and this seam became profitable again. The huge, open-cast mine is still known as Martha and is being worked today.
