Omarama Clay Cliffs

[1] They are located close to the north bank of the Ahuriri River, some 10 km to the west of the township of Omarama.

The cliffs serve as a tourist attraction in the area and they are privately owned.

The cliffs are made up of layers of silt and gravel that were formed during glacial erosion[3] around two million years ago, and are part of the Hawkdun Group of sediments.

The cliffs were uplifted by the nearby Ostler Fault.
