MOUTNAIN BIKING AT MT OWEN
Burbury while hurtling down the mountain side on a double black diamond mountain bike track-that’s sure to get your heart racing. Or, for a more leisurely pace, amble down forest paths, soak in the rain, receive a nod and a smile from a local. Choose your own pace, to explore this extraordinary place. “We are so proud to have won this award for Queenstown this year and, of course, Strahan last year. The difference that coverage of this type of win provides us is so important to driving awareness of our incredible corner of the world,” said Vice President of Destination West Coast Emily Hopwood. “Creating the award is a huge community effort, with lots of businesses donating time and resources to create the content for the submission, which entails a video, editorial, itinerary and information on our target audience and tourism involvement.” Queenstown is much more than the ‘moonscape’ it was once known for, created by 19th century mining practises. Listen to the birdsong, the whistle of the train, the wind through the trees, and fall asleep to the sound of rain pattering on the roof. In Queenstown, you’ll find a town that’s not afraid to embrace its past while looking forward to the future. Come and experience the beauty and grit of this Tasmanian gem for yourself.
