Arrowtown to Fox Glacier

I did not stay in Queenstown but at Arrowtown a small gold rush town a few km north.

The museum was interesting with a lot of history of the gold rush era. Below a set of gold weighing scales.

From Arrowtown I took the scenic mountain route to Wanaka.

The inevitable Irish bar.

The cinema where I understand the seating is a collection of second-hand armchairs and sofas, Unfortunately I had seen the film they were showing that night so I did not go.

You would not find a display like this in a shop in England now, just not PC. I told the lady in the shop and she found it unbelievable.
