An attractive bend in Pororari River, Paparoa National Park, West Coast region, South Island, New Zealand.

An attractive bend in the river, on the Pororari River Track in Paparoa National Park, between Westport and Greymouth in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island. The track follows an impressive limestone gorge along the river with big rocks set in deep pools, through strikingly beautiful forest subtly transitioning between subtropical and temperate ecozones. Pororari River flows northwest from its sources in the Paparoa Range to reach the Tasman Sea at Punakaiki. Stroll 1 km to a seat overlooking an attractive river bend. At about 3.5 km turn left at the Inland Pack Track to soon reach the swing bridge, a good turnaround point.
