Who Likes Strawberries?

Queenstown, itself, is a white and spotlessly clean little town, buried in flowers. Weeping willows fringe the concrete and lawn promenade where the boats bob up and down in the sunshine. In the park, which is on an arm of land jutting into Lake Wakatipu, are the sports grounds, bathing pavilion and ponds with fountains playing and marigolds and waterlilies mirrored in their green depths.

Up the hill, amidst the blue-gums, ferns and wild roses there is one particular strawberry garden where you pay a shilling and then you may eat as many strawberries as you wish. Once upon a time I was told about a fairy who turned her hair curly by eating heaps of strawberries; so, if you want curly hair and you like strawberries, well …….

There are a thousand and one other things to do and see at lovely Lake Wakatipu, but it will be better fun to discover them for yourselves, won't it?

Remember that Queenstown is only 175 miles from Dunedin and the journey there by rail and steamer is in itself a delightful adventure.

When you think of holidays, think of Queenstown.
