Nice pics,the Crown Range one is great,the view towards Queenstown airport is great,one I'll never forget,just got to develop them,trusty canon film camera.Hope mine are as good as your digital ones.

We were lucky they were doing the road when we passed through(yeah right),on way back from Wanaka we got behind a truck and trailer,made it interresting I tell you,bloody good to stay behind,the cars approaching had to stop to let him past.Lucky we were on Queenstown side and descending,and about 5 km from the main highway.Would be a good cruise on a bike,not in winter though,hoped to visit Possum Bournes' memorial but lack of time stuffed that one.
