Member's of Queenstown's Irish community were not the only
people dressed in green and enjoying the craic, as hundreds
of people from all over the world celebrated St Patrick's Day
in the resort this week.
Among those spoken
to by the Queenstown Times were revellers from Germany,
England, Ireland, Australia and, of course, New Zealand.
Queenstown bars were decorated in green and Irish music was
played all day.
Sergeant Blair Duffy said the resort was very busy in the
evening, but revellers were generally well behaved.
"It was equivalent to a typical Saturday night. There's
always quite a volume of people drinking on St Patrick's Day
but generally they are pretty well behaved and just out to
enjoy themselves," he said.
