Canterbury Plains and Waimakariri River. Jan 2009. Ajr I flew to Dunedin yesterday and this is the aerial view taking off from and coming in to land at Christchurch airport - showing off that marvellous earthy patchwork of the Canterbury Plains, stretching away from the Port Hills; and the intricate braiding of the Waimakariri River, just to the north of Christchurch.
