New water slide to open

With apologies to Paul Simon, you know the nearer you are to Queenstown’s Country Lane destination, the more you’re slip slidin’ away.

Local Emily Rutherford, who runs Cromwell’s popular water park, opens her Kiwi Slip ‘N Slide attraction on a hill above the Frankton precinct at 11am this Saturday.

Her nephew George Rutherford, 15, is pictured whetting his appetite for it early this week.
