We saw the start of the track and got a glimpse from there.

Next one is also in NZ - what am I looking at.

Where is this gate and what is the name of the walk?

Thanks photohiker, the generous clue made it easy :). I'm at work without photos right now. If someone wants to post they can, maybe eggs as his answer was pretty close, otherwise I'll put one up when I get home.

Since the onsite council bill board and the online Topo map calls this the Queenstown Hill Walkway, I will accept.
The article I saw noted that there were 2 possible names for it.

But in the spirit of that last entry - what is this in NZ?

It is on the Shotover River - not far from the last post.
There is a short walk up and over this tunnel to see the river each side.
It is called the Oxenbridge Tunnel.
