Room 5's Waiuta Camp

The Discovery of Gold at Waiuta

We've just returned from our two night camp at Waiuta. Gold was discovered there in 1905 and a whole town grew up there. Very little of the town is now left, but lots of interesting clues to the past have been left behind. 

We read the story of how the quartz reef containing the gold was discovered and we wrote plays telling the story. We also made up some music to accompany the plays. We reenacted the discovery of gold at the original discovery site.  Hope you enjoy our plays!
