Another good example is the former gold rush-period Chinese settlement 
immediately adjacent to Arrowtown on New Zealand's South Island.  The Kiwis 
have gone far in their archaeolgical investigations, site conservation, and 
historic interpetation.  And if the visitor gets bored, it's only a half 
hour's drive to the Kawarau Bridge where Bungy Jumping really took off, as 
it were.  B. Fontana
