Autumn at Lake Hayes, about 15km north-east of Queenstown in Lake County, Central Otago. A wildlife refuge, the tree-lined lake is fed by streams flowing from the Coronet Peak ridge and is drained by a small stream into the Kawarau River. The lake is popular among trout fishermen. It was named “Hays Lake” after a stockman from
Australia, Donald Hay, who in 1859 discovered it while searching for sheep country around Lake Wakatipu. The present spelling is said to have arisen because of confusion with the name of the notorious blackbirder and pirate, Captain William Henry (Bully) Hayes, who was active in the Arrowtown goldfields in 1863. photograph by roger fowler
