I spent an hour or two in a lakeside spot on the road between
Queenstown and Glenorchie. I remember thinking that it was strange
that the bit of structure along the lakeside was granite as (AFAIK)
there isn't any granite native to NZ. I had assumed the property
belonged to some rich git who could afford to import big pieces of
granite, but when I saw LOTR/Fellowship, some angles of the scene
where Boromir gets killed looked a lot like this spot.
I'd been in NZ on extended motorcycle tour (several months) ran into
LOTR filming crews in a couple of spots - but this one was right by
the road and close to Q'town.
Maybe I'm wrong - but if you go the rest of the way down that road
you
can see some of the places Willow was filmed and it's a *really*
good
motorcycling road :-)

I'm looking for some specific Lord of the Rings locations, because I
want to visit the exact locations where the scenes were filmed. On
the
net I can only find the general indications were the Hobbiton,
Lothlorien, Mount Doom,etc were filmed.
Does anybody know a site were I can find photos of the location and
shots from the film? Or can anyone supply me with a map on which
these
exact locations are indicated?

I have never had to empty my backpack crossing a border (except into
the
UK,
but they're special) when displaying my American passport -
Canadians I
have
been traveling with had to empty their backpacks and were questioned
privately on several occasions.

It even extends beyond Europeans -once when I hooked up with some
Kiwis
in
Ireland and was invited back to their London flat for a few days,
one of
their flat mates was particularly cold towards me. He wouldn't even
look
at,
or speak to me as we piled in the VW to head to a pub the first
night I
was
there. 10 minutes after we arrived at the pub one of the other folks
asks me
something about Canada and this distant guy gets a quizzical look on
his
face, comes over, has me confirm I am Canadian and then apologizes
for
his
behaviour because he thought I was a Yank. After that we drank and
snag
for
days - ah Europe and youth!.

Sounds to me like the guy was an idiot. If someone was treating
Canadians
that way I wouldn't drink with him.

I'll chip in here. Recently I met some travellers who had big New
Zealand
flags on their bikes. It turned out they were US citizens travelling
around
the world and had picked the NZ flag as they got way less hassle if
people
thought they were Kiwis.

Had they ever heard of "the land of the long white cloud" or a Haka?

Were they aware it was in the southern hemisphere and not a section of
Holland redeemed from the floods?

There is a small lagoon adjacent to the RSL Club that is regularly used
by scuba classes on the Tweed River at Twed Heads about 1 hour south of
Brisbane. It is an ideal site as it should have clear water on the
incoming tide and isn't more than about 5-6 metres deep. Its about 500
metres from the river entrance so there is almost no waves. Just outside
the lagoon in the river itself there is a rockwall that drops down to
about 7-9 metres so if you feel up to it you can actaully have a real
snorkel. It isn't the most exciting place but it is safe and convenient
as there are picnic facilities on site.
