  The Fence adourned with castoff bras.

If you take the Cardrona Road from Wanaka, south to the skifield of Cardrona, Check out the fence in front of the airfield. It is covered in castoff women's bras. I guess one person started and the wonderful young travellers have added. Quite amusing really.
This Cardrona Road is NZ's highest altitude main road, at 1121m high point.
During winter it may not be possible to travel right through to Queenstown from Wanaka on this road. The steep part at the Qtown end can be too dangerous in the icey conditions. Summer months, however, the road is often easily travelled.


**Newsbreak** - The Bra Fence has been removed for various reasons including beaurocratic requirements as well as some locals' disapproval.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
