13°C approaching Rakaia, hasn’t stopped raining since Dunedin.

Last year’s worst ever summer has nothing on this eternal winter of sadness.

To make sure no one is confused, I will from now on be referring to the Rakaia by its English name, the Cholmondeley River

A once abundant native fish is on the verge of extinction. It is seemingly linked to the rapid collapse of the Rakaia river ecosystem www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3609...
What happened to all the fish?
For the first time in more than 40 years, this year’s Rakaia fishing competition will not involve fishing. What has gone wrong?

I think it was @comingupcharlie.bsky.social that pointed out the "English" name of the Rakaia was the Cholmondeley River. Let's just not.

Rolleston to Rakaia on SH1 south of ChCh has been plastered with cooker graffiti in recent weeks

I mean it would be cheeky of me to suggest they've been drinking too much nitrate & E. coli dairy water?

Does anyone else who takes a morbid interest in this stuff feel like we're seeing a new surge of cookerism lately? Like everyone who's going to tap out has done it now, and the people remaining are going turbo on the stupid. www.rnz.co.nz/news/science...

Heading south today. Braided river is braided.
One of the Canterbury plains rivers. Maybe the Rakaia, but I’m not sure. Taken from a plane. The river has many interweaving channels and the plains on either side are soft green.

Not far from Christchurch is the spectacular Rakaia Gorge. Beautiful gorge, world class river terraces.
