About this audio guide
This audio guide rides the Skyline Gondola up Bob's Peak in Queenstown and asks a blunt question about money: how a project first reported as a sixty million dollar facelift became something far bigger. It follows the twenty twenty-three rebuild of the cableway, from the steep slope under the line to the tight window crews had to swap one system for another. Best heard from a window seat, looking up the line as the cabin starts to climb.
