The final part of the 2d1n Coromandel Trip!
Ok from Tauranga to Coromandel took us like 3 hours driving distance. Only 3 places we would like to visit in the whole Coromandel area, the first is Creek Railway in Coromandel town, and this post is all about this railway.
On the way to Coromandel, we pass by a huge falls and all of us has no idea what's this place and whats the name of the falls, but this falls is simply beautiful, that we couldn't help to take the risk by stoping our car in the roadside, and walk down for the falls.
Unknow falls spotted from the roadside
Amazing ain't?
Got back to car and we headed to Coromandel, the railway has only 2 times in a day, one in 11pm and another one in 2pm, i guess. :P. Just search online and you will found that.
The railway trip cost us $23, you can book and ask the direction from i-site, as what we did.

Then we headed to the railway, bout 20 minute driving distance.
Before that i just thought this is only an attraction of Coromandel town, i don't expected much in this attraction, but i was wrong.

After photography in the station, we get up to the mini train, and up to the peak for the whole coromandel view.
According to the guide, he said this is the only railway in forest in the whole NZ, in fact this is one of the few railway in forest in the world though.
The mini train brought us to the peak in an hour, not very amazing view, but comfortable.
