I just had food at the Rusty Iron Thai, it was unbelievably delicious. Highly recommend
My father and most of his siblings were born in Queenstown. My grandparents are mostly remembered for their house (that my pop built) burning down while they were away up north. Eventually they settled in Launceston and most of the family are still around Launceston region today. Thanks for your video. I haven't been to Queenstown for over 40 years!

Thanks for sharing your family's story. Sorry to hear the house your pop built got burnt down.It must have been tough for them. Queentown is very unique, we'd like to visit it again one day.
It's been over 40yrs now, since I spent several months in Queenstown. It certainly has changed for the better. It was a sleepy little town with no trees covering the hills surrounding it. The modern buildings have brought the tourists to a lovely town. I'm certainly going to have to go back and explore some more. 😊😊
I went there in February 1982 as a 13 year old. The thing that struck me was there were no trees whatsoever. The tour operator told us it was because they needed fuel to run the furnaces so they cut down all the trees. That was the point I realised how much damage humans do to the environment. It's good to see that there are now trees growing, I hope they can get them to completely cover the areas that were forested before mining started.
Geoo steele. Great place to visit. Bloody cold. Love it 2004. 😊
I'm a Canadian and I have been to Australia. I would love to go to Tasmania.
Been there a few times it`s great. Thanks mate
