| The only way to see taieri gorge is by railway, or on the back of a sheep. We
took the train from Dunedin through Taieri Gorge to the top and then back again. A four
hour trip of great sights. There are several tunnel and viaducts along the route as the
train wends it way along the sometimes precipitous gorge. The river is not very large and
there is little current. Although once in a while the river rises, if the rains are heavy
in the mountains, and rushes headlong to the sea. Occasionally we saw heaps of dead trees
and bushes well above the current water level showing the height of the flooding waters. |
