The visit of this hamlet of 220 inhabitants and its small museum (on the main street) is quickly made. Collingwood can be a pleasant stop to the Courthouse café.In the 1850 s, when gold deposits attracted the miners in number, the commune, formerly called «Gibbstown», served as a port. At that time, we suggested making this village prosperous the capital of the country. The yellow metal attracted 2 500 pioneers and in one year the city counted 4 000 residents. But the exhaustion of the veins was fatal in the village and, if there still remains today, it is because it is on the road to Farewell Spit and the Heaphy Track that attracts tourists.
