Queenstown 20th - 21st, 25th January |

|
Our first view of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables (mountain range on the left) the day we arrived in Queenstown. This was taken from Bob's Peake where we had taken a Gondola ride. |
|
Bob's Peake is high and therefore you have to jump off it. If you look carefully you can see someone swinging below the upper platform. | |
|
TSS Earnslaw - A 1912 vintage twin screw steamer which still plys the waters of Lake Wakatipu and took us across to Walter Peak Farm and Sheep Station. | |

|
Typical long white cloud sitting just on top of a mountain. | |
|
Kawarau bridge - the home of bungy jumping. It is difficult to tell from this photograph but this is actually two japanese girls jumping together. | |
|
The Remarkables | |
|
A view across Queenstown harbour to the Remarkables | |
|
A single lane bridge - we must have crossed hundreds of these. The roads are quiet enough that you rarely have to give way to anyone. | |
|
A row of mail boxes on the road between Queenstown and Arrowtown. Art or Eye-sore?? | |
|
Shotover canyon - famous for jet boating | |
|
The Kiwi and Birdlife Park | |
|
A Tuatara | |
|
Maori show at the Kiwi and Birdlife Park - just look at the women's eyes. | |

Farewell to Queenstown. | |
