About this audio guide
This guide to Ziptrek Ecotours in Queenstown turns on a week in May 2017, when a quiet zipline forest on Bob's Peak ended up discussed in the Environment Court. It follows the gondola company next door, the small outfit worried about its future, and the founder who spent four years building treehouses from macrocarpa and wilding pine. Best heard on the first platform, with the cables humming around you.
