About this audio guide
This guide to the Skyline Luge in Queenstown goes back to the mid nineteen-eighties and to Hylton Hensman, one of the men behind the gondola up Bob's Peak, and the ride he wanted to build without an engine. It takes in a hillside across town and a detour to Rotorua in the north. Best heard at the top of the track, beside the carts.
