Dargaville Museum, Dargaville 0310, Northland, New Zealand New Zealand 

Opening in 1985, the Dargaville Museum has continued to grow over the years to become a fascinating must see attraction when visiting Dargaville. Located in Harding Park with its magnificent views overlooking the district and the Northern Wairoa river, the Museum now has 1800 square metres of exhibition space.

The hilltop Dargaville Museum is more interesting than most regional museums. There’s a large gumdigging display, plus maritime, Māori and musical-instrument sections, and a neat model railway. Outside, the masts of the Rainbow Warrior are mounted at a lookout near a pā site, and there’s a recreation of a gumdiggers’ camp.
