Blackball

Blackball was founded in 1893 following the establishment of a nearby mine. The town was named after the Black Ball Shipping Line, which leased land in the area to mine for coal.
This small town was also the birth place of the New Zealand Labour party. Back in 1908 miners went on strike for three months to win a 30-minute lunch break. They won!
Nowadays it is more famous for The Blackball Salami CompanyBaca selengkapnya
