Skyline Gondola

Queenstown is surrounded by peaks and lakes - there are numerous ski resorts less than 30km away so the town is busy all year round. I hop on the Skyline Gondola and head up to the top of a hill which offers great views of the lake and surrounding mountain ranges. In the picture the range in the background is 'The Remarkables' with the two peaks in the middle known as the 'Double Cone'. I didn't get too close to the edge though! A great opportunity was missed on the way up - some fluffy white sheep were munching their lunch on the steep hillside. Sorry Random Animal fans.
