Buller Gorge, Natural gorge in West Coast Region, New Zealand
The Buller River carves through deep canyons between Murchison and Westport, creating two distinct sections known as Upper and Lower Buller Gorge
The gorge and river received their names from Charles Buller, a British Parliament member and New Zealand Company director during the early 1800s.
Visitors can experience gold panning activities at the gorge, connecting with the mining traditions that shaped the West Coast Region's development.
State Highway 6 runs parallel to the river through the gorge, while the Stillwater-Westport railway line provides transportation and sightseeing options.
A 110-meter swingbridge suspended 17.5 meters above the Buller River stands as New Zealand's longest pedestrian suspension bridge.
