People are queuing up to take photos at the spot pictured, from which Lake Wanaka can be seen stretching out. The photo shows Troy and Jayne Nielsen on Roys Peak on their wedding day in September 2014. After a three-hour climb, some tourists are waiting for up to half an hour for the chance to pose for that special photo. The Queenstown Lakes District Council yesterday painted yellow no-stopping lines along the road leading to the new car park. The council is also building a gravel track linking the Roys Peak Track car park to the Damper Bay track, as a safer means for walkers to move between the two tracks.
