Highland sheep dotting the hillsides

Little specks of whites in the distance

Embedded in greenery not quite but slight

Slow movements not very apparent

Skyline Gondola ascending Bob’s Peak

Expanse of Lake Wakatipu down below

Showcasing beauty of the land most scenic

Queenstown attractive city on show

Shotover jet ride terrifying but terrific

Skimming water’s surface sitting on edge

Driving on lonely roads devoid of traffic

Gladly greeted by strangers rarely met

To be expected of a 4.5 million population

Outnumbered by 40 million sheep in reality

Apparently found only in the South Island

While in the North the culture of the Maori

And hot water sulfur spring and geysers

Brought back memories of Hank’s sojourn

Beautiful sights in the Southern Hemisphere

Fantastic canvas-like scenes of New Zealand
