Macetown: A real 4WD adventure. This ghost town from the gold rush era is now a Department of Conservation reserve, accessible only by 4WD. The road winds from river level to high above the Arrow Gorge, offering over 25 river crossings en route, ever-changing views, and the chance to gold pan in the Arrow River. Tours depart Queenstown daily at 8.00am and 1.30pm (allow 4 1/2 hours return)
