On the long drive from Te Anau to Lake Tekapo, we needed to stop somewhere so Kendra could get out of
the car. Jane McEwan recommended stopping in Queenstown at the Deer Park. This was the best
entertainment for the money on our whole trip. At $20 for our car, we spent several hours driving around
looking at and feeding the wildlife. We saw sheep, goats, alpacas, red deer, miniature horses, highland
cattle, bison and yaks.
The view of Queenstown and of Lake Wakatipu was magnificent and we all enjoyed seeing the animals up
close and getting to feed them. I would recommend this short drive from Queenstown to go up to top of this hill.

could get rough.

Who was chasing who? The big
goats chased Kendra and knocked
her down, but she chased the
small goats all over the mountain
to try and pet some of them
