The Last Rivers Song is a photographic project by Lloyd Godman, based on the Clutha and Kawarau Rivers before the filling of the high dam at Clyde

the project was made up of two components: large composite photo murals up to 20ft long and smaller photo - panels. The work was followed up with 2 performance works 10 years later during the filling of the hydro lake.

The project is dedicated to all free flowing rivers where ever they may be
