The late Barry Brickell's narrow gauge railway, built so the potter could access special clay found at the top of a steep forested slope, has become a major tourist attraction. Trains make several one-hour trips each day, taking in a viaduct, three tunnels, a spiral, and a switchback through native forest, eventually climbing to the Eyefull Tower and viewing platform. The railway also funds a reforestation program and a 1.6-acre fenced wildlife sanctuary. The latest on-site addition is Coromandel Zip Line Tours, a three-hour experience encompassing eight zip lines. Advanced booking is advised; it's essential during peak summer months.
Named after the country's largest native insect (which looks like a grasshopper with armor), this gallery has a range of items, including large and really lovely glass totems, small tiles, fabric art, carvings, ceramics, and jewelry.
