Greymouth

This river town (Pop. 12,000) reveals a different lifestyle and micro-culture.  We view the town's often devastating Grey River, its struggling port, its dangerous mouth and the wild, Tasman Sea on its doorstep.  There are walks, shops and services for travellers.

Studies
Explore the
colourful, history of settlement involving violent Maori massacres then European settlement that annihilated forests and land in its quest for wealth. 

The Grey river from the nearby mountains has dominated the town for its 150 years.  We learn how it is maintained and controlled to resist its bed-load deposits and regular flooding. Our
KANES guide has it all to tell.
