A Czech tourist who has been living in a tent in bush at Sunshine Bay has been ordered to pay almost $350 reparation once he gets home and back to work. Prosecuting Sergeant Ian Collin told the Queenstown District Court yesterday Ms Wood, a 24-year-old United States tourist, had been living in Australia and spent four days in Queenstown last year. Koliba found it and at 3.20pm used her credit card to buy two packets of cigarettes from the Night’n Day shop on Camp St for $45.80. At 4.30pm he went to Henry’s bottle store, on Athol St, and bought another two packets of cigarettes for $53.80. Instead, for using the card Judge Bernadette Farnan ordered him to pay $343.39 once he was back in his home country.
