Water pours down spillways of the Roxburgh hydro-electric dam and sprays spectacularly back into the Clutha River. The dam, in a narrow gorge in the Clutha River in Central Otago, is 365 m wide and has a 7.3 m roadway along the top. It is 76m high. Lake Roxburgh, which was formed behind it, extends back 32km through the Roxburgh Gorge to Alexandra. The power station, on the west bank of the river, has been producing electricity since 1956 and at the time of its completion, in 1962, it was the largest hydro-electric power station in New Zealand. Its capacity of 320 megawatts has since been surpassed by Manapouri, Benmore, and Maraetai. Pictures by ROD DEW.
