In the 1890s gold drew around a thousand people here, with a pub, bakery and stamping batteries working the hills behind, though almost all of that has since returned to grass and bush. Now it is a quiet holiday spot loved by campers, surfers and families, and a scenic stop on the northern Coromandel circuit.
