Encyclopedia > Waimakariri Gorge

The Waimakariri Gorge is located on the Waimakariri River in inland Canterbury in New Zealand's South Island.


Like its neighbour, the Rakaia River, the Waimakariri runs through wide shingle beds for much of its length, but is forced through a narrow canyon as it approaches the Canterbury Plains.

The Waimakariri River is a river in Canterbury, in the South Island of New Zealand.
As the river approaches the Canterbury Plains, it passes through a belt of mountains, and is forced into a narrow canyon (the Waimakariri Gorge), before reverting to its braided form for its passage across the plains.
