Zeehan

This once booming mining town, named after one of Abel Tasman's ships, is 36km NW of Queenstown. After silver-lead deposits were discovered in 1882, Zeehan's population rose to around 10 000 in 1901. By 1909 it was almost deserted, but has recently revived with the reopening of the Renison Bell Tin Mine.
