Access to Lake Wanaka’s Ruby Island just got a lot easier following the return of the jetty. Three weeks ago, the jetty was removed for refurbishment and a bit of a ‘‘tidy-up’’ after 20 years in the water. After a three-week onshore refurbishment, the Ruby Island jetty was delivered back on to Lake Wanaka by truck and crane at Waterfall Creek yesterday morning.

The 3ha island reserve is the closest and most accessible of Lake Wanaka’s four islands and has a grand history of cabaret evenings.
