Packet noodles are packet noodles. Likewise polish it, dust it in crushed almonds or coat it in 100s & 1000s or glitter- a turd is still a turd.

Food- a universal reference point for the male species.
Speaking of food & NZ- Pak n Save is a mtber's best friend. Embrace that joint like you would your mother. It'll keep you fueled for the trail & liquoured up at the end of a long day (or short day if you're holed-up & licking wounds from a moment of trail misadventure). Oh, & Pak n Save Rotorua is particularly cool- behind it is a rad pumptrack.

You forgot to mention alcohol, the vital part in the Bikes, Bikes & Beer....I mean Bikes, Babes & Beer...Fuck... What I was trying to say is Bikes, Bros & Beer holy trinity. Shit, that came out wrong again. To hell with it, you now what I mean. The beer is bloody cheap at Pak n Save, there, simple....& you can buy all the food solids one requires... oh, & Panadol, Betadine & band-aids as well- you'll probably want to get some of those while you're there.
Did I mention the alcohol section?

I missed that bit...did you boys hit the hot springs up?
I purchased a dustpan and banister brush there as well. My intention was to HSE the banister brush to wash my bike. I found this to be a surprisingly expensive purchase.
They do fuel vouchers too.
Oh and when dining out on "eat street" keep your eyes open for specials. One of the bars there had a 3 course meal for about $30, as long as you arrive dine before 7 (I think that was it). It was money well spent. And with dinner out of the way early...the rest of the night can be spent focusing on trying to get laid.

Definitely worth getting a pair that you can roll around in all day if necessary.
Alcohol? Who said anything about alcohol? I don't remember saying anything about alcohol. What I do when I'm black-out drunk is none of my goddamn business...
EDIT: For the record, I'm not much of a drinker (a Cadbury would be the appropriate description) but I sure couldn't ignore how extraordinarily cheap the alcohol was compared with Australia.

Unless work's paying for your global roaming then get a prepaid through Spark Telecommunication. Good coverage & free calls back to any Aussie number.
Hmmmm, nup- don't remember. Couldn't tell you anything about alcohol prices in NZ.

Dozer can get in line. I've got an industrial size tub of lube here and i'm in no rush to go anywhere.
All the riding off Coronet looks sweet! Also red up a bit on fern Loop, up the hill from Skyline. Says it's pretty techy, root and rock laden goodness. Is it bad enough that you might consider it dangerous to ride on your own? Or do descriptions/grades err on the side of caution and rate things a bit worse than they really are?

I've only been in summer, but people were saying 7 mile is rideable year round

I've only been to Qtown in the winter...even when there is a shit load of snow, it doesn't fall very low. You will find patches of shit around the valley floor, but not much. You may encounter an oversupply of frozen mud depending what time of day you are riding. I remember being there in august a few years back and there was a puddle near my accommodation that would thaw for about 2 hours a day, then freeze over again.
There is a lengthy walking/cycling path around the place that would make for an easy pedal if you're desperate.

There were pics of the Wynyard freeride park with a dusting of snow a few days ago, indicating snow to low levels at Queenstown.. how much i don't know. I've been summer and winter, i'm sure there will be riding all over the place right now. A friend of mine that lives there rode to the top of skyline a couple days ago.
