    You will pass it!

    Something that 1,000's of people will pass ever day and know nothing about it. Straight outide of Patagonia and the wharf.

    Statue of the founder of Queenstown

    A little slice of Queenstown history right in the center of town. William Gilbert Rees is regarded as the founder of Queenstown after he and others were the first Europeans to settle the Wakatipu basin. A lovely statue and celbrates the history of the area.

    Date of experience: August 2018
