It’s impossible to describe everything that’s here: cars spanning the Morris Minor to a Ferrari 400I, Air New Zealand airplanes, almost every type of Lego set, a Barbie section, and vintage items like cast-iron banks and typewriters.
Not sure I understand how typewriters fit into the museums theme … but it continues to amaze how much stuff like this floats around New Zealand.

You know what the funniest thing about billionaires building doomsday bunkers in Wanaka is?
They think their money is going to be worth something when the society centered around that money collapses.
"I'll just use this currency that's now redundant to pay these guys with guns to protect me."

Peter Thiel's house in Wanaka was repeatedly refused resource consent and he has abandoned the project.
For this to happen to a man who hates governments (except when they shovel money in his direction) and feels entitled to always get his way, this is a sweet outcome.

Check out The Camp on Lake Hawea's shore, not far from Wanaka. All sorts of accommodation options and activities. www.stuff.co.nz/travel/36091... #DestinationQueenstown #TheCamp #Wanaka #LakeHawea
$20 tent sites and a lake like this: Why campers keep coming back to this South Island spot
Driving into The Camp’s park-like grounds populated with mature trees, the eyes are drawn to glacial blue Lake Hāwea.

I am not alone to be concerned about USA war planes coming to our town in NZ.

I never enjoy the Warbirds over Wanaka event because its fossil fuels squandering and associated pollution, excessive noise and war glorified.
These lethal jets are not appropriate. Go away

Back in the day, pulling the wrong drive from a failed RAID5 array. Sure, we had a backup, and it was the weekend - but it was a Sunday afternoon in Wanaka, restoring from tape was slow, and I had a meeting at home the following morning. That was a long evening.

About to drive to Wānaka for rock and roll purposes. First roadie in years (and very first in an electric car). As is always the way we’re leaving a couple of hours later than planned, but we’re not on any real timetable so it’s all good.

Passed this guy walking up the crown range pass between Queenstown and Wānaka yesterday.
Apparently he is unicycling around the world. Talk about taking on a tough challenge.
