For many years people have been attracted by the beauty of the lakes and mountains that surround Queenstown, starting with the first Maories that arrived searching for the “Pounamu” green stone. They were followed by European pioneers whose interest was in the green grazing lands. The Gold fever arose in 1860, marking the start of an international fascination for Queenstown.
