The Clarence River
Off The Beaten Track with Kennedy Warne
From Nine To Noon 17 August 2009
The Clarence RIver with outdoorsman, adventurer, travel journalist and photographer Kennedy Warne.
The Clarence River rises on the boundary of Nelson Lakes National Park, follows a serpentine course between the two great mountain ranges of Kaikoura – the Seaward and Inland Kaikouras – and empties into the Pacific at a town named, yes, Clarence, about a half-hour drive north of Kaikoura.
Tourists have discovered the delights of Kaikoura, but Clarence still remains off the beaten track, its attractions little visited and, for that reason, all the more pleasurable for those who take the time to seek them out.
