Long story but....I worked for Works in the late 80s and was based in Lower Hutt. We were involved with the seismic work on the surrounding hills above the dam before it was completed. We used to fly into Queenstown and stay in the 'old' Cromwell. Good days working on the hills - shorts and boots in the Summer, thermals overalls and boots in winter. A lot of tracks were put into the area to get drilling rigs up there. In those days they were very 'hairy' in winter even in a landrover or cruiser, not a lot better in Summer either.
Nice one.
