About this audio guide
This guide to Kiwi Park in Queenstown turns on June twenty twenty, when the borders were shut, the tourists had vanished, and a family-run sanctuary with a brand-new kiwi house had bills to meet. It reaches back to the nineteen eighties and Dick and Noeleen Wilson, who took a lease on a patch of town nobody else wanted. Best heard among the ferns near the entrance, before you step into the dark.
