Port Kaiapoi.
Canterbury NZ FZ200
Kaiapoi is a town of 9,255 people (2001 Census) situated on the banks of the Kaiapoi River and is a tributary of the Waimakariri River, a substantial river which has its origins deep in the Southern Alps of New Zealand's South Island. This flows out into the Pacific Ocean on the east coast and has a Bar at the entrance which frequently alters in depth and position. This restricted the Port to high-tide operation only and to vessels of approximately 7-foot draught. The wharf at Kaiapoi was 2 1/2 miles from the entrance. Original public domain image from Flickr
