The Hollyford River is in the southwest of the South Island of New Zealand. It runs for through Fiordland, its source being to the north of the northern tip of Lake Te Anau and close to the Homer Tunnel. The river flows north through the glacier-formed Hollyford Valley, passing through Lake McKerrow before reaching Martins Bay on the coast of the Tasman Sea north of Milford Sound. The Hollyford Track follows the river's course. Part of the river's course is traditionally regarded as the boundary between the Southland and Otago regions. In January 1863 Patrick Quirk Caples explored the river, naming it after his home town of Hollyford, County Tipperary in Ireland.〔''Otago Daily Times'', 2 Dec 1904, p.7〕 Three sections of the river are regularly travelled by kayak: *Monkey Creek - Falls Creek: Grade: V+ *Falls Creek - Marian Swingbridge: Grade: III - IV *Marian Creek Run: Grade: IV - V ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hollyford River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
