Know it is us who are mad Driving around the Queenstown area is, and has been for a few years now, a complete disaster. I know its old news but it’s a cluster f—k and getting worse. We don’t need tourists from overseas to clog our streets, we do it all by ourselves. I counted, whilst dawdling in traffi c, (heading towards Shotover Country roundabout) 80 cars heading into Frankton before I saw one with two people in it, then 120 more before I saw three. All the rest were single drivers. I was also one. These all originate from Lake Hayes Estate, Shotover Country, Gibbston/ Cromwell and some other Wakatipu Basin traffi c. Digressing momentarily, those subdivisions should never have been allowed to go ahead before roads and bridges were prepared. The consultants were morons. The people deciding to give the go ahead were also morons and we should ask for our money back. Now we have winter and the usual traffi c issues and town congestion is The Gibbston Valley Cheesery & Deli pop-up opened last week. ridiculous. I have been, along with countless others, shouting out about this but Taste artisan cheeses, learn about cheese and wine pairings or no one is listening. Build more, more hotels, more fl ats, more apartments, more enjoy a good coffee and grab lunch from the deli shops, more people and on it goes. This week past I had work to do in town and took an hour and ten minutes plus fuel, to NOT fi nd a park. The road up to Coronet Peak is a nightmare and mostly driven by one person (I am one). Now council is ticketing people parking at the bottom to ride share. Nice one! Recently in Hamilton I noticed the metered parks advising 2 free hours to encourage shoppers to spend. Here we pounce on the tardy. Real estate agents and shop workers or owners are part of the problem. Wonder why you can never get a park near the Lonestar restaurant? Checkout the real estate businesses nearby. Sure, we have buses and park and ride but it’s not enough. We are a mess. We are drowning in cars. We obviously are not hard up for cash if we can all zoom all over the place. Our family have been car sharing and leaving 2 or 3 cars at home which has its problems, but we are trying. The kids are saving money anyway. So next time you see a long slow line of traffi c barely moving from Mitre 10 at the “other” Queenstown to Stanley Street, and then watch them do the circuit around Shotover Street, Rees Street, Camp St, then leave after an hour of frustration, know it is us the locals who are mad and only us the locals who can solve the problem.

News Round Up For TRUSTED timely A summary of major local news stories by Paul Taylor LOCAL NEWS, download Queenstown dominated the national news agenda for all the wrong reasons last week, with its MP rolled and a resident accused on breaking out of managed isolation to go on a booze run the Queenstown APP. Clutha-Southland MP Hamish Walker announced on Wednesday he was quitting politics and would not stand in this year’s election. Walker was forced out after admitting he had shared the private details of 18 active Covid-19 cases with the media, in a bid to defend himself against accusations of racism. “I wish to thank the people of Clutha-Southland who I have loved meeting, assisting and representing over the past two and a half years,” he said. “I sincerely apologise for my actions. I will be making no further comment.” Walker’s announcement came just 73 days out from the election. He lasted slightly longer in that regard than his predecessor Todd Barclay, also a first-term National MP, who was forced out 94 days from the election in 2017 due to a staff recording scandal. Like Barclay, Walker is expected to stay in Parliament until the General Election on September 19. Walker believed the patient information - sent to him by former National Party president Michelle Boag - would show he was not being racist when he claimed 11,000 people from “India , Pakistan and Korea” could be go through isolation and quarantine in the south. The Government had announced it was considering locations in the south for quarantine and managed isolation centres, including Queenstown, prompting Walker to fire off a press release containing the claim. The media outlets did not publish the patient details they were given by Walker a week later, but it’s understood they did not prove his claim. Meanwhile, ironically, on Friday afternoon Queenstown man Martin James McVicar appeared in court for after allegedly breaking out of a Covid-19 managed isolation facility in Hamilton. McVicar, 52, who owned property in Jack’s Point, was remanded in custody without plea and is due back in Hamilton District Court this Wednesday. He allegedly absconded from the Distinction Hotel, in the suburb of Te Rapa, on Thursday night to buy alcohol. He’ll answer charges of intentionally failing to comply with an order under the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 and damaging a TV at the hotel. Police say he cut through a 1.8m fence at about 6.30pm and was out in public for about 30 minutes, visiting the Brews liquor store on Te Rapa Road 500m away. There was no one else in the shop at the time. The New Zealand Herald reported he bought a four-pack of Leffe Blonde and pinot noir. If convicted, McVicar faces up to six months’ imprisonment or a fine up to $4000.

South Island: lower half

With the hard times of lockdown behind us, why not venture out and take a trip around the sublime South Island? With the unique situation the globe is currently in, the lack of international tourists means you can have an experience which isn’t overshadowed (quite literally) by a looming selfie stick. Here are some highlights to consider, if you’re looking to escape out of the Queenstown bubble. Starting from the South, you can pay a visit to the Catlins. There are some stunning locations listed on the destination’s downloadable, online map. Just wrap up warm and get your hot water bottles ready half a day to wander around the city centre and the nearby Tunnel for a 2-3 day road trip in your campers, as there are 26 points of Beach which is a picturesque stop with a downhill footpath which interest in total. leads to breathtaking sea-cliff views. Travelling further north, Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo are famed for their ‘insta-worthy’ scenery. Especially during this Winter season, the surrounding snow-capped mountains will be a sight to behold and avid boarders and ski folk can even stop off at the nearby Ohau ski field for a few runs en-route. In Tekapo, you can immerse yourself in the local hot springs which overlook the lake. Tickets can be purchased for the cheaper price of $16 if you use ‘Book Me’ (basically the bible), as opposed to just rolling up on the day. The lake itself is a stunning aqua blue and is quite striking to see as you drive into town. Alternatively, you can drive up to the Mt John observatory (entry fee on arrival as nothing is ever free my friends) and here, you can sip on a coffee as you take in the beauty of the vast landscape. Tekapo is known especially for its amazing, starry skies and informative tours can be taken at the ‘Dark Sky Project’ centre. However, for those Another set of favourites for locals and tourists alike, are the grand who want to keep their budget expenditure low, you can simply fjords of Milford and Doubtful Sound. These locations are particularly park outside of the town and gaze at the millions of twinkling lights cheap right now, and there has never been a better time to browse from the comfort of your car.

Whereas, Milford Sound has a range summer months, icebergs can be seen floating in the surrounding of daytime trips and their scenic flights depart from Queenstown lake.

Hard-working people who are recovery. now facing desperate circumstances. My first visit to Queenstown was in 1994. I arrived as a young I’ve been touched by the stories of these people that the team have backpacker originally from Ireland. I have visited many times since, shared with me. Some have flights booked home, and this support but that first visit was particularly influential to my eventual decision has relieved stress as they anticipate returning to their loved ones. to immigrate to New Zealand. Others lost their jobs before lockdown and say they don’t want to think about where they would be without the vouchers they received. Then there are those who are searching for work, having been here for several years, and hope that as tourism returns so too will work. We know that there are many more people who may be eligible for this support who have not yet heard about it.

With the snow-covered Remarkables on the doorstep and the beautiful lake, it’s unsurprising that people are drawn here. The people who migrate to Queenstown come from all around the world. While some visit for just a few days, there are many who settle for months or years. They work in cafes, hotels, ski lodges or tourism, local businesses and much more. Migrant workers are integral to the economic success of Queenstown and are a vital part of the community. In the wake of COVID-19, these are people who we must ensure also receive care and support. Through the New Zealand Government’s Foreign Nationals Impacted by COVID-19 programme (known to us as Visitor Care Manaaki Manuhiri), New Zealand Red Cross is delivering support to meet the urgent and immediate needs of people on temporary visas (including work, student, Registered Seasonal Employer and visitor visa holders) who are experiencing hardship as a result of COVID-19.
