Very idyllic gold miner town. The historical buildings are beautifully restored and it looks like time stood still. This place is close to Queenstown and you should definitely check it out. Have a coffee in one of the restaurants or go on a gold mining tour. You can even buy gold mining stamps for your post card at the post office.
