Canyoning = wet = no good. I've got to buy a waterproof camera...

Excellent. We now have 12 confirmed so far. Not bad for the most southernmost FT do (unless I've missed one in Ushuaia or Antarctica!).
So far top choices are (weighted to those confirmed):
1) - 7 votes (Earnslaw steamship + Walter Peak high country farm)
5) - 5 votes (Wine tour)
4) - 4 votes (Skippers Canyon drive and picnic)
2) - 2 votes (Dart River jet boat walk and bus, LOTR locations)
3) - 2 votes (Skippers Canyon biking/adventure)
7) - 2 vote (Arrowtown walk)
6) - 1 vote (Gondola + luge & optional extras)

Will arrange accommodation closer to the dates.
In terms of activities, I'd go for (1), (5) and (4).

in the hurry to get the UA fare I booked my return flight on the wrong date 
: in February. Well done f4fJ 
So I am now dealing with expedia if they allow me to change my inbound flights. Latest update is that they can't find the fare rules...
Additionnaly, because of job related issues, it's too early for me to confirm my definite attendance. Pls downgrade me to "most interested". My excuses for that.

I am interested in attending but it's dependent on a few other things so I cannot commit yet.
ZQN is a great place. And for those who asked, fly-by-wire is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on!

Concerning my work; I should have more information in September at latest. So I remain "gold".
