Arrowtown

Arrowtown is a historic gold mining town in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is located on the banks of the Arrow River approximately 5 km from State Highway 6. There is also road access directly to Queenstown via the Shotover Gorge and a third route via the picturesque Lake Hayes. 

stepping on the thick snow

love this view whereby the snow stuck on the branches

making the snowball by this young kid and getting ready to throw

I had wanted to make a snow ball too..

instead I went shopping at one of the shops

the Arrowtown post office

from here, we adjourned to Queenstown

Goodbye, Arrowtown! You are forever in my mind!
