Dunedin to Catlins to Bluff

The Balclutha Bridge is often simply known as 'The Clutha Bridge', despite the fact that there are numerous bridges across the country's second longest Clutha river. The Clutha is the largest of the South Island rivers by volume and therefore ways of crossing it have always been both vital and difficult. The Balclutha Bridge is just one of New Zealand's concrete bowstring arch bridges and it provides a dramatic entrance to Balclutha on State Highway 1.
