Week 4

This week Room 17 will be interviewing Isaak's Grandma Annette, who has been in Queenstown for 40 years. We have written our own questions and will record these and her answers to send to the Arrowtown museum. This is part of the Arrowtown Museum's "Speaking of Change Exhibition" which will be showing in July. If you or your family have anything that would be of interest to do with this topic, we would love to hear or see items that may help us learn more about life in the Wakatipu 40-60 years ago.
