South Island Gallery / Whitewater / 2012-03 Otira gorge  


 Ben starts the first portage on the Otira Gorge--almost an NZ urban ditch
 
 Flows had dropped off fast since yesterday's rain
 
 First rapid we ran, downstream of the viaduct
 
 Ben
 
 Tight corner--I didn't make it round...
 
 Cheers Ben for the rescue from my boat here--worst pin I've been in
 
 Just above the tightest constriction in the gorge
 
 A few rapids above the constriction
 
 Constriction from below--can be portaged on the left
