The Shotover River is located in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. The name correctly suggests that this 75 kilometer-long river is fast flowing, with numerous rapids. The river flows generally south from the Southern Alps on its journey running through the Skippers Canyon, before draining into the Kawarau River east of Queenstown.
A terrified Australian tourist who was on a bus that careered downhill and smashed into a pine tree, which prevented it plummeting 80m into the Shotover River, says she has escaped death a second time.
