"You know Pakura, where I fly all day, I can see the Canterbury Plains. I see the Waimakariri River that flows from the mountains to the sea, and smaller waterways and wetlands."
Can you identify and name the Heathcote River, Avon River, Avon-Heathcote Estuary, Styx River, Brooklands Lagoon, the Waimakariri River and the Pacific Ocean (watch your cursor turn into a finger).
