Queenstown
The ski lift at Coronet Peak looks rather different in the summer, but the adventurous tourist is attracted just the same. For from the top of Coronet Peak can be seen a magnificent view of the Remarkables, the lake, and the fertile valley which heads past Lake Hayes to Arrowtown. There, outlined below in the green and brown shades of summer, is an area steeped in colourful and romantic history.
The Queenstown Kowhai Gold booklet also featured the Remarkables mountain range, Lake Wakatipu, jet-boating on the Shotover River, the history of the Central Otago goldrush, and drew attention to the rapid growth of tourist facilities in the area.
