We experience amazing communities that began with the massive gold rush and have struggled against continual storms of change amid isolation. Groups can learn to identify and understand how the various communities can be so different.  There are museums, old towns and derelict ghost towns to explore. 

KANES take us the the most interesting places and help us gain a feel for life and business in this historic and torn region. We witness different lifestyles, housing, industries, retailing, schoolings, transportation and administration systems. Here we discover massive environmental changes caused by the settlers. We can examine the current industries, and recent political conflicts involving land use and ownership. We gain explanations for culture.

We see new sustainable industries and policies striving to revitalise the remaining settlements. Visitors are encouraged to meet the locals to gain an understanding of the different evolving culture of the communities.
