Another reason to avoid fubar stadium at Dunedin for hosting your little seminar of six people. It’s all over to Queenstown….

Tribe and Queenstown council in $25m hot pools talks
Maori tribe Ngai Tahu wants to make a bigger splash on Queenstown’s tourism scene with a $25 million hot pools complex. Today’s announcement says Ngai Tahu Tourism is in early discussions with the resort council over leasing 0.75 hectares of prime public land in the Lakeview site on Man Street. The Lakeview site is being pushed by Queenstown Lakes District Council as the preferred home for a $50m convention centre proposal, possibly linked to a casino-hotel complex to be built by SkyCity Entertainment Group. Ngai Tahu’s proposed development would include about 12 large public hot pools, four smaller private hot pools, changing facilities, a health spa, reception and retail building, and a café-restaurant. Annual patronage is projected at 300,000 to 350,000 customers. Ngai Tahu is already a major property and tourism player in the resort.

Is it really ‘Man’ Street, Queenstown? Isnt Manly in New South Wales?
So it is, Man Street. It’s got a Carpark, already. I’d only heard of MAN™ buses in Wellington. They go Mach.0 speeds.
[You’re waffling in a way that will go to Spam. We have MAN buses and firetrucks here in Dunedin.]
Point taken. I bet Dunedin Mans don’t just run people over. Waffle, Spam, Egg Bacon and Spam? Sounds good. Authenticity of discourse rules.
