The Clutha River / Mata-Au is the second longest river in New Zealand and the longest in the South Island. It flows south-southeast 338 kilometres (210 mi) through Central and South Otago from Lake Wanaka in the Southern Alps to the Pacific Ocean, 75 kilometres (47 mi) south west of Dunedin.
It is the highest volume river in New Zealand, and the swiftest, with a
catchment of 21,960 square kilometres (8,480 sq mi), discharging a mean
flow of 614 cubic metres per second (21,700 cu ft/s).
And on Friday, an immensely tranquil walking companion.
