You are approaching the historic Kawarau Bridge and the AJ Hackett Bungee site! This is one of the world's first commercial bungee site and has been running since November 1988. The old Kawarau Bridge was originally built to link Queenstown to Central Otago during the 1880 gold rush; it was later replaced by the larger and more modern Battling Betty Bridge in the 1960's. The bridge fell into a state of disrepair and was deemed unsafe until Henry van Asch and AJ Hackett applied for a one month license to use the bridge commercially for Bungee Jumping in 1988. A fee is paid to the Department of Conservation for every jump by AJ Hackett Bungee to maintain the site.
