Waiau River, Canterbury
The more northerly of the South Island's two Waiau Rivers is in north Canterbury. It flows for some 55 kilometres, winding from its headwaters near Hanmer Springs through gaps in the undulating countryside's hill ranges and past the town which shares its name, to reach the Pacific Ocean 130 kilometres north of Christchurch.
