Autumn 2026

This has been the most beautiful Autumn I've experienced in Queenstown. We've had unusually still days so all the leaves are hanging on. There is an orange glow everywhere. I've been leaving slightly earlier in the mornings before work so I can stop on the way at this spot and simply breathe, before the day destroys me. When I used to holiday here, rather than live, I used to love the drives anywhere on these cusp seasons. It is truly a remarkable place. Lake Hayes on dawn
