About this Event
What to Expect
Come meet the early birds of Queenstown! Speak to hawkers busy heating ovens, mixing batter, braising duck, and cleaning their stalls before their first customers at 5am. Then take a walk over to see how the daily paper ends up on our doorsteps, as newspaper distributors meticulously arrange them before setting off on their routes - there's a lot that happens before dawn!
