Queenstown, a world famous scenic resort. It lies on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by fabulous mountains. From Queenstown, tourists travel south alongside the beautiful blue waters that lap the feet of the Eyre Mountains on one side while the road runs precariously along the mountain slopes of the Remarkables. At an early stage the road had to be cut through the mountain itself. This pass, because of its shape and its seemingly treacherous bend, is called 'The Devil's staircase.' Here the road almost overhangs the lake itself some two hundred feet below - and this is one spectacular boundary for the start of the Waimea Plains Parish.
Athol, remarkably sheltered from the prevailing winds, became the centre of the Valley and here the early settlers built their Church |
