Introduction to Thames, New Zealand
Despite its relative obscurity today, Thames, New Zealand was once the second-most populous city in the country behind Auckland due to the frantic migration into the town during the gold rush that lasted from 1868 to 1871. In those three years, it has been reported that Thames Mines yielded 2,327,619 ounces of gold bullion worth between US$800 and US$900 million. While tourism in the 21st century has not had the magnetic quality that gold had in the 19th century, it is proving to be a crucial industry to the locals who stuck around after the rush, and tourism itself is now a big draw. Don't miss the history museum in the north of town for insight into early Maori life here, the interesting School of Mines museum or gold mine tours. On Sunday, a tourist small gauge railway runs four-hour round trips. Among Thames hotels are a number of excellent choices that feature lively bars that continue long after bed time.other spellings: thameshotels nz, tames hotell nz, thamez hote nz, thanes otel nz, dhames hotle nz
