The
stately, steam-powered TSS
Earnslaw
celebrated a centenary of continuous service in
2012. Once the lake's major means of transport, now its ever-present cloud of black soot
seems a little incongruous in such a pristine setting. Climb aboard for the standard 1½-
hour Lake Wakatipu tour (adult/child $55/22) or take a 3½-hour excursion to the high-
demonstrations and sheep-dog performances (adult/child $75/22).
