A man who died after being swept away by a West Coast river loved mountains and dreamt of working in tourism.
Christchurch's Ben Gourdie, 29, was relaxing with friends in hot pools about 9pm on Saturday when he went into the Taipo River, near Jacksons in the Grey district, to cool off.
Robin Gourdie said his son was doing "exactly what he loved with his very best mates" when he died.
