Introduction
Kingston, at the southern tip of Lake Wakatipu about 45 km south of Queenstown, is a small town on the scenic southern road. It keeps a 19th-century railway station and pub, with lakeside grass and an old wharf for fishing and picnics; the lake rarely ices in winter, clear nights are good for stargazing, and it is a handy rest stop toward the Catlins.
