Moonbeam Torrent in the Waitaha valley
Moonbeam torrent - as well as being a beautiful name, is a major side creek of the Waitaha valley in Westland. It is not bridged, so in anything other than low flow it becomes a serious crossing. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/go_wild/6139242193/" title="moonbeam torrent by go wild - NZ outside, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6174/6139242193_e26a033410_t.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="moonbeam torrent"></a>
