That would be a great idea Belinda.Going up the gondola you get a good view of Queenstown.The luge is great fun and you have a choice of a fast or slow track. |

Hi everyone, I will be flying to Sydney, Australia on 31, as my plane does not go straight to NZ and then will fly to Christchurch the day after. (2 Feb) I will be (or plan to be) in Queenstown on 11th.  If Hayley is to do some concerts sometime in March, in Australia, that will be great, still. Though it does not seem like a possibility, I wonder why she only rarely visits the country.  Well, I know that the temperature is much higher on the continent. That could be a problem.  The luge! I had once tried one at the location near my home town. But it is not very popular here, though we have plenty of mountains,hills and valleys. Looks like the one at Queenstown is quite worth a try.

Hi All Queenstown concert goers Tim,Stuart,Ross,Akito and me should we all meet pre concert and go in to the concert togeather Whats close to millbrook? Belinda Hi Belinda Of course you must have a pre-concert get together! We get little enough time to spend with our friends at HWI so they have become a natural part of a "Hayleyday" for us here in UK. It's an excellent way to heighten the appreciation of what is to come just as a gin and tonic does for good dinner!  Whatever you all do Enjoy!!Love Grant |

OH MY GOD what a great concert.The weather was fine, a bit windy but became hot during the concert. I met Tim in the queue at the gate and then Belinda and Stuart arrived later. We managed to get right in front of the stage. Akito joined us before the concert started. Dave did the first set with his well known songs like When I needed you most, Otherwise Fine, Loyal, Lay Down. Then Hayley came onto the stage to join Dave and they sung Beside You and Shouldn't You Ought To Be In Love and Welcome Home. Hayley wore a long Black dress with floral designs on it. After the interval Fiona Pears and her band did a few songs. She wore a purple knee length dress with black shin length boots. She did Firefly, Martin and Mary which she congratulated those who clapped in the song (including me), Tangoissimo,and Sabre Dance. Then the big moment arrived when Hayley came onto the stage in a purple top over a black top with black leggings. THEN HAYLEY BLEW ME AWAY when she started singing Let Me Lie which I never thought I would hear live and is my favourite song. Then she did Shenandoah, Summerfly. She mentioned that she had been up the gondola and went on the luge. She then sung May It Be, Both Sides Now. Then you know when there is a keyboard around Hayley is bound to sing Sonny which she did and we loved it. Then it was Painted The Moon Black, Scarborough Fair which Dave joined in. Then Hayley sang Lovers Heart (Marvin Gaye) and the Hansel and Gretel song Prayer. After that it was Santa Lucia and Intrutina and then Dave joined in with Hine Hine for the last song. For the encore they did Down To the River (off the DVD) which everyone clapped to and the last song was Welcome Home with everyone on their feet clapping away. So it was a great concert which you could tell the most people were there to see Hayley and everyone listened to the songs with no one talking during the songs. Oh by the way the Westenra family sat right behind us during the concert except for Gerald who was filming the concert.Jill was busy taking photos. After the concert I got Fiona to sign my In Tune with Nature T shirt, I gave Hayley my present which was a Teddy Bear dressed as an All Black which she loved. I also got her to sign my book and had her draw a kiwi kicking a rugby ball which was brilliant. Well thats it for now I will hopefully post a few photos before I head off to the next concert. PS We had a few wines which were excellent and lovely fish and chips when we got back to Arrowtown.

Well, I know that the temperature is much higher on the continent. That could be a problem.
