Nestled in a valley between Mount Lyell and Mount Owen, Queenstown is the largest town on the West Coast. Surrounded by dramatic hills that provide stark evidence of a history that once made it one of the richest mining towns in the world. Today, Queenstown is experiencing a rebirth with a growing tourism and arts culture. The drive into Queenstown from the South is nothing short of spectacular - if not a little stomach churning as you wind your way down the 99-bends of the Gormanston Hill. Spend your time visiting art galleries, museums, lookouts and surrounding Lake Burbury (created in in the 1980s after the flooding of the King River) whilst taking the time to delve a little deeper to learn it’s history - there’s always a local keen to share a story. Be sure to book the West Coast Wilderness Railway and travel the same tracks the miners did in the 1890s. If you are looking for more adventure, the mountain bike trails in Queenstown offer adrenaline plus! Blues and blacks down Mt Owen with scenery like no where else on Earth. Try your hand at white water rafting down the Franklin or spend a day out at the Mt Lyell bouldering field, some of Australia’s best outdoor bouldering.
