About this audio guide
This guide to Queenstown Gardens in Queenstown stops at a great boulder on the peninsula and reads what is fixed to it, starting with the local cadets who paid for it in nineteen thirteen. It follows five men of Captain Scott's South Pole party, a verse from the Gospel of John, and a much older planting rite from the town's first mayor. Best heard standing right beside the boulder, close enough to read the tablets.
