The Pelorus River. The most beautiful river I have kayaked so far. This afternoon Devon and I decided to explore a 10km run from the point where the Tin-line River joins it, down to Totara Flat, which just after the Pelorus Bridge and the Rai River joins the flow. Its not the biggest river around; we bounced over a few rocks on the way down, but it is interesting and certainly picturesque. Losts of native forests on along the banks and an amazing rocky gorge section as you pass under the Pelorus Bridge.  Deep green pools of cool clear water interspersed with tight rocky rapids made this a fun afternoon.

The Pelorus Bridge. I remember when I was younger this bridge represented a challenge to every local kid. If you could jump off this bridge you were made of the right stuff. Now there is a sign prohibiting anybody from leaping from the bridge. Probably a good thing...
