| Description/Notes | Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Queenstown itself is like a town lifted into reality from a fairy story. The foot of Queenstown rests on the deep blue water of Wakatipu, which has a serpentine lengths of 52 miles and amid majestic mountains. Facing the town are the Remarkable, huge sierras sculptured nobly by gigantic agents of Nature, and there are other rugged ridges and graceful peaks that help to make the charm of this peaceful lake land. This was a battleground of titanic glaciers long ages ago, but the monsters have lost much of their might, and have retreated to distant heights." |
