50 years of Queenstown's Gondola NZ

Posted 21st November 2017 to the Otago Daily Times Dunedin NZ



When I first saw Queestown’s Gondola in action it was only 4 years old  but I thought those little M&M coloured French designed cable cars made Queenstown feel like a magical place. I suppose they also gave the town an International flavour, a taste of things to come. Now that its been around 50 years I don’t suppose those old 1980s Dopplemayer Cars that replaced the stylish Pomagalski 30 year ago are due for a make over ? So Philip Chandler, why not as a sign of respect to Hylton Hensman’s vision paint them the original candy colours because those old cars WHERE legends and style wise it’s just not the 1980s any more.
