Which district is Ashburton in?
Ashburton is a large town that supplies the surrounding livestock district. It is located between two major rivers, so fly fishing is the local obsession.



Ashburton, one of the main service centers for the local agricultural district, lies between the Rakaia and Rangitata rivers. When European settlers arrived on these lands, the area was arid and covered with grassy tufts, almost without trees.
