Queenstown

Well had an interesting trip away recently.  Had a quick overnight trip to Queenstown. Stopped of at the Wall in the Wilderness at Derwent Bridge on the trip, this was phenomenal. It is totally unbelievable the depth of detail and intricacy which has gone into the carving. Had a quick look at Gormanston before arriving in Queenstown, stayed at The Empire Hotel, good cheap rate, and quite comfortable room, Tea in their Dining Room, which was excellent value for money.  Next day a drive through to Rosebery  played the tourist and looked at the area's local mining museum, also a lovely little craft shop across the main road from the Museum called "Eureka on Agnes" great souveneirs and the owner is lovely to chat too. I was in heaven found a lovely Opportunity shop, and got some great bargains. Then onto Zeehan and a walk along the main street checking out all the shops and also the park.
Back to Queenstown for a fish and chip supper before the drive home
