Wanaka Search and Rescue swift water team members and police retrieved the body of a man from the Clutha River yesterday, near the Albert Town bridge.

A nine-member swift water team was mobilised and Go Jets offered its boat to help in the operation.
Two trained observers in a helicopter located a body in the water about 20 metres downstream from the bridge.
