It has never ceased to amaze me just how much the European settlers to New Zealand in the mid to late 19th century achieved with their engineering feats. With nothing more than shovels, pick axes, wheelbarrows and dodgy explosives, they constructed awesome bridges and viaducts. They also hacked holes through hills to form tunnels for trains. They cut around cliffs to create beds for train tracks and built lighthouses from stone on impossibly difficult terrain. Some of their projects even involved building structures over water. Although built in the early 20th century, one of the most impressive marine based structures was the wharf at Tolaga Bay which still stands in its elongated glory today.
