Photo: Shotover River Central Otago NZ
Cutting through Skippers Canyon, the Shotover River in Central Otago, New Zealand was once the focus of a gold mining boom.
Being one of the richest gold bearing rivers in the world, the Shotover River attracted gold prospectors from around the globe. Today the main attraction for people to this 60 km long, fast flowing river is jet boating, rafting and bungy jumping.
