Queenstown

is a beautiful and well known tourist resort town on the shore of Lake Wakatipu with the population of about 3000 people.
The town is surrounded by the scenery rich southern region of the South Island and is one of the fastest growing town and region in New Zealand.
William Gilbert Rees was the first settler at Queenstown in 1860, soon the nearby Shotover River gold rush made Queenstown another New Zealand boom town and became a borough in 1866.
After the 'gold rush' the population declined rapidly until recently when it became a popular tourist centre.
