Ōmarama, a name meaning place of light, sits at the crossroads of the Waitaki Valley where the roads from Twizel, Queenstown and the coast all meet under famously clear skies. Those skies and the powerful thermals rising off the surrounding ranges make it the gliding capital of New Zealand, holding national and world soaring records. Just out of town the Clay Cliffs (Paritea), towering silt and gravel pinnacles within the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark, are the area's most striking natural landmark.
