50 degree temperature swing between summer and winter, handy skifields, good fishing and boating, good hunting and large DOC areas with good 4wd access, private land hunting takes a wee while to get into, good Cromwell-based hunting & fishing club, a local NZDA branch with a good hut in the Haast, low population, good roads (apart from slow loopies in camper vans on the wrong side of the road!), good food, vineyards, distilleries, etc.. Nah, you probably wouldn't like it!
