Beschreibung:

Reefton our early lunch stop on the third day of my friends from the UK, trip around the South Island. We left Christchurch at 6:30am as we had a long day of travelling. A photo stop on our way over the Lewis Pass to Punakaiki and our first night stop over at Hokitika on the West Coast.

Reefton is a small town on New Zealand's West Coast region, some 80 km northeast of Greymouth, in the valley of the Inangahua River.

The mining town of Reefton is sited on river flats where the Īnangahua River leaves its narrow gorge through the Victoria Range. Originally a gold-mining town, it became a centre for coal mining in the 20th century. In 2008 gold mining is again dominant, with a large opencast pit opened by Oceana Gold.

In 1888 Reefton became the first town in New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere to receive electricity, and its streets were lit by commercial electricity generated by the Reefton Power Station.
