In the midst of the Mackenzie Country's wide open spaces is Lake Tekapo. Over 2310 feet (700 metres) above sea level, this lake has an astounding turquoise blue hue reflecting the surrounding mountains. The beautiful blue/green colour of the lake is caused by 'rock flour' which is finely ground particles of rock held in suspension in the melted water from the glaciers that run into the lake. Around the shores of the lake are several hectares of russel lupins in attractive shades of pinks and purples. A few seeds were said to be scattered by an early runholder's wife who wanted more colour in this barren land. Overlooking the lake is the Church of the Good Shepherd which was built with locally gathered stone. From the altar window there is a beautiful view over the lake to the magnificent centre of Mt Cook)After lunch continuing on to Queenstown,drive cross the Lindis Pass on the way stop for photos. arrive Queenstown after to have Skyline Gondola ride to top of hill to enjoy spectacular views of the city and evening view of the Lake Wakatipu. Dinner after return to Hotel. (Queenstown, New Zealand's spectacular alpine resort 'is more than just a place, it's a whole feeling'. Queenstown offers so much for the visitor to experience, even if you choose to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.First settled in 1860, Queenstown was originally known as 'The Camp' by the thousands of prospectors who flocked to the district in search of gold. The present name was later derived as the magnificent area was thought to be 'fit for a queen'. ) |
