Description: Shows two trampers standing beside a fence, with the access to the lake in the background blocked with a large chain and padlock wrapped around two posts. One of them questions whether it is the Queen's Chain. Refers to the problematic 'Queen's Chain'. The Queen's Chain is widely believed to be a 20-metre strip at the edge of all New Zealand rivers, lakes and the sea, owned by the Crown or a local authority and usually available to the public for recreational purposes. Unfortunately no New Zealand law has established that the public has full rights of access to, or use of, land alongside rivers, lakes and sea shores. The Foreshore and Seabed legislation proposed to resolve this problem.
