Description
Kawerau River near Queenstown flows from Lake Wakatipu in northwestern Otago, New Zealand.
In the 19th century, gold was extracted from this river. Today it is a major adventure tourism destination. The world's first commercial bungy-jumping site is near here.
This river was also featured as a setting for the 'Pillars of the King' in The Lord of the Rings movie "The Fellowship of the Ring".
