We didn't really realise how far south we were going to be in this part of New Zealand. At 45 degrees south, Queenstown is just further south than the bottom of Tasmania and the most southerly I have been. The equivalent latitude north gives you places like Portland, Zagreb and Venice. Sure they get cold in winter too, but the difference here is that there is literally nothing between us and Antarctica except wild, freezing ocean.
