Original Police Building, Arrowtown-New Zealand

Photo was taken on Sunday 29/06/08 while at the Chinese Village in Arrowtown. This building was part of the original police camp and was built in 1863, restored over the years by the Arrowtown Lions Club, Lakes District Museum and the Arrowtown Heritage fund. Just one more reason why I love living in such a histroy rich invironment.

Snowing in Arrowtown 24/6/08

Taken this morning at 8am, not bad for 3hrs of snow. Drove through to Queenstown later that morning and only saw snow on the mountians, Arrowtown is in a climate of it's own some days.

ANZAC Day 2008

Photo was taken on Anzac Day 2008, the story behind the cannon is true Kiwi style. My son loves to come up here and play.
75mm German made Turkish field gun was captured by ANZAC forces during World War 1 and was returned to New Zealand as a trophy of War. It was sent to Arrowtown in 1921 for public display as a war memorial. The gun was partially destroyed by British fire or by a premature detonation of a shell while still in the guns barrel.

Lake Hayes Queenstown

One of things I enjoy about real estate is my camera is always in the car. As I drove to the office this morning I couldn’t help but stop and take this photo. Taken at Lake Hayes, half way between Queenstown and Arrowtown, one of the most photographed lakes in New Zealand. The key to living in such a stunning place is “remembering to look up”
