Our last full day in Queenstown we spent--apart from beginning to pack up for our departure from NZ and revisiting Fergburger--walking about town and in Queenstown Gardens, which are situated on a small peninsula jutting out into Lake Wakapitu.
Autumn is coming |
Lake Wakapita is sort of S-shaped; here's a bit of it...from the peninsula |
Entering the Gardens |
Looking back to the main part of town; the ugly gash is the ski lift up to the Sky Center amusement park and airport for parasailing and other Queenstown adventures; much construction going on |
Beehives in the Gardens |
Wider view of central Queenstown |
Among Queenstown's many adventure rides is this shark-shaped boat that porpoises passengers around the lake... |
At rest |
Maybe next time |
In the beautiful rose garden |
Other pretties too |
Quite a few California sequoias (don't tell Te Papa!) |
Proper and elegant way to support an aging oak's limbs... |
Auxilium, sculptor: Andrew Rogers |
Beautiful place and a nice end to our Queenstown visit |

That last photo would make a nice poster.
