Queenstown

Bungee jumping mecca

Queenstown is a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, known for adventure tourism and dramatic alpine scenery along Lake Wakatipu.

The name also belongs to several other places worldwide, including the former colonial name for Cobh, Ireland—the last port of call for the Titanic.
