It's a nice trip down there, although it tends to be plagued with road works, mind you so is the rest of NZ! There is a film about the Whanganu River during the early years of settlement called River Queen, worth a view.
Yes bit of a mess but getting sorted, the landscape is something out of this world but needs to be right light. I think the 5 day river trip would be worth it for the experience.
Even this waterfall got effected by slips (Raukawa Falls from look out) what they looked like before landside https://www.flickr.com …/15967163@N00/3061355055/![]()
