THE IDEAL MOTORING HOLIDAY Take the Lake Road to Queenstoitin Return through Sunny Central Otago /- BEEN the road between Kingston and Queenstown was formed it openeda route which has captured the admiration of every motorist who has travelled » over it—the sunshine route through the Lakes Distnct of Central Otago.
