| Queenstown
See those mountains in the banner? That's Paradise and the Dart
River Valley - the magical wilderness of Lord of The Rings, only 45
kms from Queenstown.
Situated in the South Island of New Zealand, Queenstown
is the
"Adventure Capital of the World" where adrenalin junkies queue
to jump off a bridge with their feet tied to a latex cord, skydive,
jetboat, parapente ... etc.
Since we aren't exactly the dare-devil type, we're going to show you how you can
still enjoy
the beautiful views of the Otago and Southland regions from
the comfort of your car, in an off-road vehicle, or simply using your feet (with a bit
of sweat of course).
We've visited the Southern Lakes several times but have never seen the
place in autumn. The views are just stunning with the leaves turning
red, orange and yellow! If you're planning to travel independently
the iTAG magazine could be a good
source of information.
