Queenstown is the hub of tourism and adrenaline seekers on the South Island
of NZ. This is where bungy jumpers jump off perfectly good bridges, sky
divers jump out of perfectly good planes, paragliders jump off of precipitous
cliffs, jet boats skim inches away from river rock faces,...need I go on?!
This is the jump off point for the Milford Trek for Sue and Katie.
