The Groynes in Autumn (Christchurch New Zealand)
The Groynes derives its name from large concrete blocks, made from concrete filled woolsacks, jutting into the Otukaikino Creek. The Otukaikino, once the south branch of the Waimakariri River, was separated from the main branch during the course of major works in the 1930's.
The Groynes is a great place for families with walking tracks, picnic areas and a dog exercise park.
The lakes and waterways provide both recreational activities and habitat for wildlife such as trout and waterfowl.
A great place for wetland and small forest and field birds, introduced and native but also for its mix of native and exotic flora which produced a uniquely modern NZ landscape.
