Along the railway track of Charming Creek Walkway at Watson's Mill a rusty boiler from the old sawmill remains.
From 1929 until 1958 the coal from Charming Creek Mine was transported along a railway running down through the Ngakawau Gorge descending more than a hundred meters to the main railway along the coast of New Zealand's South Island. Along the railway track remain at Watson's Mill a rusty boiler from the old sawmill. Von 1829 bis 1958 wurde die Kohle der Charming Creek-Mine auf einer eigens dafür gebauten Bahnlinie durch die Ngakawau-Schlucht hundert Höhenmeter tiefer zur Hauptlinie an der Küste der Südinsel Neuseelands gefahren. Noch heute zeugt ein Dampfkessel von einer Sägemühle entlang der Schienen.
