| We saw this lookout mentioned on a Google search for things to do in
Queenstown. So the address was plugged into our GPS an off we
went. Approaching the car park we realised that it was small and
not really suitable for a car pulling a caravan. Wish there was a
sign about that! Fortunately no one else was there or even came
and a 3 point turn was executed. The track to the lookout was
initially flat, however the final leg to the top was extremely steep.
At the top you are welcomed by a bright yellow viewing area. There
are lots of information signs on why the lookout is called Spion Kop and
also what points of interest are located where. There's even a
cannon to round out the display. One question I had was how do you play football on a gravel playing field? Carefully I suppose!
It was an interesting stop off made more so as we found an orchid
growing on the hill on the way down. |
