- Kingston Flyer (about 40 min drive from Queenstown on SH6 towards Milford Sound and about 1.5 hr drive from Te Anau or Invercargill), ☎ +64 3 248-8888. As soon as gold was discovered in the Wakatipu districts in 1862 the need to connect to the shipping ports of Dunedin and Invercargill by steamships and steam trains became apparent. The resulting railway line at last reached Kingston on 10 Jul 1878 and a public holiday was declared by the local councils. From $40 Adults; $20 Kids.
