About this audio guide
This guide to Lake Te Anau, near Queenstown, follows Quintin McKinnon, the Scottish explorer who found the way from the head of this lake to Milford Sound in eighteen eighty-eight. It picks him up in late eighteen ninety-two, a mail carrier setting off across the water on a routine run with a fair wind behind him. Best heard on the lakefront, looking out toward the long western arms.
