Gorge views
Limestone cliffs rising 30 to 50 metres above the boat, sculpted into folds and overhangs by the river over thousands of years.
Boatsheds
A line of timber boatsheds clings to the bank between Nelson and Sandy Waterhole — many built before the war, still standing.
Wildlife
Pelicans, black swans, cormorants and herons by the dozen, with kangaroos on the bank and the occasional sea eagle riding the cliff updraft.
