Who is going to Queenstown?

[Woody]

Hiya, I live in Christchurch (yeah, New Zealand) and am intending on going down to Queenstown for Highlanders vs. Force match. Should be a great road trip, QTown is a party town and it's an afternoon game (thing of the past here).
If anyone who is coming wants any info on Chch or wants to catch up for a beer give me a shout.
Sharon and are a pretty laid back (nah, we're not swingers ya grubby bastard!) and should be able to point you in the right direction.
Remember Queenstown can get friggin cold.

Just out of curiousty how much does a trip like that cost?? Because i'm dead keen on going next year or the year after, everyone keeps telling me the land of the long grey face is worth seeing etc and the best way i think of doing it is when the force are there as well

[Darren]

check out the word doc in the link in FrontRows thread - I think TIF has included prices...
