My Home River by Will Gillespie

My home river is called the Clutha. Its a wide flat river. The part that I paddle on is a slalom course because I paddle slalom. The nearest big water river that I paddle is called the the Roaring Meg. It is part of the Kawarau Gorge near Queenstown. It is definitely not as big as the Ottawa but it still has a few big rapids. There is one part that sticks in my mind is a rapid where that water comes around a corner, across a bit the smashes in the a flat rock wall. There a big hole that you don't want to get stuck in and then a few big rapids as well. There is a beginner tradition where you have to jump off a 15ish meter tall rock. I really enjoy these rivers and love NZ.
