Kawarau Gorge (Canvas)
Kawarau Gorge is an open edition print.
Kawarau Gorge in Central Otago, New Zealand is rich in history and intrigue. During the Otago gold rush in the 1860s, the Kawarau Gorge was a hub of activity. Completed in 1880, the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge was designed by engineer Harry Higginson. Faced with the challenge of strong winds in the sheer rocky gorge, Higginson implemented innovative strengthening solutions, including inward-sloping cables. In 1988, the bridge became the site of the world's first commercial bungy jumping venture, initiated by A.J. Hackett.
