An Australian man killed on a rafting trip to South Island, New Zealand, has been identified as a 31-year-old new state police officer, Joshua Paroche (Joshua Paroci).
Joshua Paloche, who was among five other Australians, capsized a boat while drifting on a raft on Saturday at (Shotover River) in (north of Queenstown), north of Queens, New Zealand.
