About this audio guide
This guide to the Crown Range Road Scenic Lookout above Queenstown follows John and Mary Lee, who bought Mount Cardrona Station in nineteen seventy with an unlikely plan to make money from snow. It touches the farm road John carved without council permission and the winter fights over the very hairpins below you. Best heard at the lookout rail, facing the Wakatipu basin.
