Summary
[edit]DescriptionEvening at the Lake (52079294191).jpg |
Lake Wakatipu was formed by glaciers more than 15,000 years ago. But, it wasn’t until August 1859 when the lake was first explored by a Scottish surveyor, Donald Hay. He spent several days exploring the lake by raft. Queenstown was once called “Camptown” and was an important town during the gold rush in the 1800s. As it does today, Lake Wakatipu played an important role in both providing freshwater as well as transport. Before proper roads connected nearby towns such as Glenorchy, travel by boat on Lake Wakatipu was common. |
