Clarence River, New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Clarence River is located in the South Island of New Zealand. It is 160 kilometres in length.

For its first 50 kilometres, the river runs in a generally southeastern direction. It then turns northeast, running down a long straight valley between the Inland and Seaward Kaikoura Ranges. At the end of the Seaward Kaikouras the river meanders through undulating hill country before draining into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Clarence.

A large part of the river is within the boundaries of the Molesworth Station.
