Queenstown Hill Time Walk
November 11, 2013
Saving the best for the last on a sunny day. The Queenstown Hill Time Walk is one of my favourite day walks in NZ. It takes 3 hours return from town and there are clear signs guiding you to the start of the track at Belfast Terrace.
Information panels in the forest provide a brief history of Queenstown and its rise to fame as a popular tourist destination. A simple game of stone stacking can be found round a bend, breaking the monotony abit. From here it's another 15 mins to open grassland and the Basket of Dreams (an art sculpture). I watched a group of quad bikers crashed through a pool of muddy water.
Phenomenal views from the summit~~~
"The Basket's spiral of steel follows you inward to reflect, to draw inspiration from the mountains, lake and from those who are with you; outward to dream for the future."
Someone climbed onto the Basket of Dreams for a photo made me wanna smack my forehead
Descending back to town on the very steep Ballarat Street
