Colours of Autumn

Back blip from my trip

This was taken the morning we left Frankton and it was lovely and sunny and you could feel the Autumn coolness. From here we made our way to Lake Wanaka over the Crown Range.


Frankton is a suburb of the town of Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand. It is located at the end of a large inlet in the northeastern shore of Lake Wakatipu known as the Frankton Arm on State Highway 6. It is one terminus of the short State Highway 6A, which runs seven kilometres west from there to Queenstown.

Frankton is located on the edge of a larger area referred to as the Frankton Flats, which is the area of land approximately bounded by Lake Wakatipu, the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers, and State Highway 6 to towards Cromwell. The Frankton Flats is located in the Wakatipu Basin and enjoys longer sunshine hours, particularly in winter, than the majority of land in central Queenstown, which is predominantly south facing.

Queenstown Airport is located at Frankton. The airport provides direct international flights to Australia, and domestic flights around New Zealand.
