Title:
Queenstown, New Zealand
Description:
Recorded January 18-20, 2007. Queenstown is a international resort town in Otago in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island. It is built around an inlet on Lake Wakatipu, a long thin lake formed by glacial processes that is shaped like a staggered lightning bolt, and has spectacular views of nearby mountains. It has an estimated resident population of 26,400. The video begins on the Skyline Gondola in Queenstown. Reputed to be the steepest lift in the Southern Hemisphere, the gondola carries visitors high above Queenstown to the Skyline complex located on Bob's Peak. The best vistas in the region are found here, spread out in a spectacular 220 degree panorama offering breathtaking views of Coronet Peak & The Remarkables, over Queenstown and across Lake Wakatipu to Cecil and Walter Peaks. Truly magnificent and awe-inspiring. The video then shifts to the Kawarau Bridge Bungy - home to the original 43-metre Bungy Jump. Next up are the beautiful views from Coronet Peak. Then I make a stop in Shotover Canyon to watch the infamous Shotover Jet screaming through the canyon. The video concludes in downtown Queenstown along the shore of beautiful Lake Wakatipu.
