The scenery seen from South Riverton is very fine, and includes the waters of the estuary, with green hills relieved with small patches of pines and smiling homesteads, and, in the background, the timber-clad Longwood ranges, with the rugged ramparts of remoter mountains. Riverton was incorporated as a borough in 1871 During the summer season Riverton is popular as a resort with those in search of recreation or change of air. Pleasant trips to various points up the Pourakino river may be taken by boat or oil launch; and there is a ideal picnic ground, where the banks are clothed with lovely native vegetation, which meets in places overhead and forms a natural arbour. |
