We saw the start of the track and got a glimpse from there.

Next one is also in NZ - what am I looking at.

Not if you've been there. South Island.

Haven't been to this walk :) - but google suggests it is the Queenstown Hill walkway

Very close. It has an unusual name.

There is a plaque that does with the walk:

Thanks photohiker, the generous clue made it easy :). I'm at work without photos right now. If someone wants to post they can, maybe eggs as his answer was pretty close, otherwise I'll put one up when I get home.

Since the onsite council bill board and the online Topo map calls this the Queenstown Hill Walkway, I will accept.
The article I saw noted that there were 2 possible names for it.

But in the spirit of that last entry - what is this in NZ?

outlet of the tunnel on the shotover river

Re: Game: Where-is-it? (international)

It is on the Shotover River - not far from the last post.
There is a short walk up and over this tunnel to see the river each side.
It is called the Oxenbridge Tunnel.

I don't see any glaciers :). Is it on the north island?

Re: Game: Where-is-it? (international)

Tue 13 Jan, 2015 6:51 pm

That's why I guessed Whanganui. No snow and still water..

there are other clues in that photo that narrow down where in NZ is is. this is a photo of "typical terrain and bush" for the area, thats why i chose it. i can walk for weeks in the south island without sign of a glacier,
