Learn more about the historic significance of the Croesus Track - one of the best surviving examples of a pack track in New Zealand.

Summary:

Croesus Track, as it is now known, was built in three sections from 1881 to 1899. All three sections were built to facilitate access to alluvial and quartz gold mining areas in upper Blackball Creek.

The Croesus Track is a nationally important pack-track with unique physical and fabric values. There are significant historic features representing different 19th century track building techniques still remaining on site.
