Revellers at Queenstown’s impromptu Crate Day party. Extra police were drafted into Queenstown after a crowd of hundreds celebrated "Crate Day" on Saturday with an impromptu party. About 300 people, some very drunk, gathered on the small Village Green in the town centre on Saturday evening. After the party bottles and rubbish were left strewn across the Village Green in Queenstown’s CBD. The drinkers spent several hours on the Village Green, their beers cooling in Horne Creek, which runs through the reserve.
