REALITY (THE GOOD & THE BAD) You might expect a quiet, dignified stroll through beautifully manicured botanical gardens, but reality can quickly throw 70km/h icy blizzards your way, turning a casual walk into an Antarctic expedition. The sealed paths and flat terrain are wonderfully easy on the legs, but beware of flying pine cones, rogue discs from the golf course, and wet shoreline rocks that are prime territory for upsetting Bertha the bad back if you take a tumble! ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - The Start & Surviving 70km/h Ice Winds 00:44 - The 1891 Band Rotunda 01:25 - Māori Kāinga & Kāti Māmoe History 02:01 - Queenstown Ice Arena & Flying Frisbees 03:23 - The Monkey Puzzle & Heritage Trees 04:18 - Kurī: The Extinct Native Dog Statue 06:39 - The Rose Gardens (Summer vs Reality) 08:53 - Captain Robert Falcon Scott Memorial 11:00 - Battling the Blustering Blizzard Winds 14:41 - The Freezing Glacial Lake Wakatipu 16:40 - Sleeping Giant Mātau (Māori Legend) 18:23 - The 1862 Gold Rush History 25:54 - Public Garden Beehives 27:33 - The Rare Australasian Crested Grebe 📱 FOLLOW THE ADVENTURE • Instagram:   / binkyt_nz   • TikTok:   / binkyt_nz   • Web: https://binkytwalks.netlify.app/ ⚠️ DISCLOSURE I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
