The changing river path

			<p>Where the Waikawa river meets the sea is a fascinating area, constantly changing. Sometimes the lagoon fills up, at other times it's cut off and even dries up. Then a high tide and lots of rain will fill it again.  </p><p>Local Steve Betts kindly shared a series of gorgeous photos he took of the area. Thanks Steve. </p><p>Click a photo to see it larger. </p>
