See Omarama Clay Cliffs, New Zealand
The Clay Cliffs of Omarama are an amazing semi-arid `badland` of deep ravines and pinnacles eroded into ancient river gravels and lake silts situated on the active Ostler Fault Line. These cliffs are made from fine-grained clays, silts, and gravels deposited by glacial rivers.
These natural rock formations are just 10 km west of Omarama. To get to the Clay Cliffs from Omarama is about 15 mins drive north towards Twizel. Take the first road on your left about 700m after the Ahuriri Bridge, the route is well signposted from there.
The cliffs are on private land. There's a donation box at the gate where you can pay the $5 vehicle admission fee.
The Omarama hot tubs, back on the main highway, is another great stop in the area.
