Kingston Flyer

High country landscapes and trout fishing rivers are features of the road between Queenstown and Te Anau. The drive takes you through the farming settlements of Lumsden and Mossburn and Kingston, home to a remarkable steam train, the Kingston Flyer. The road clings scenically to the edge of Lake Wakatipu.
The Kingston Flyer is New Zealand's famous vintage steam train, based in Kingston on the southern shores of Lake Wakatipu, a 40-minute drive south of Queenstown. The Flyer's history spans over 125 years and it still departs Kingston Station two times daily during its running season (October through to April).
