Below is a list of 100+ residents
of Karangahake, who signed an
unsuccessful petition to have the goldmining township at
the foot
of the Coromandel peninsular declared a borough in 1907.
A number of Australian families went here after the gold ran out in some
of the Australian fields - my Grandparents came from Nundle/Hanging
Rock, NSW in 1905.
