Inchbonnie
Inchbonnie is a rural locality in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island. "Inchbonnie" is a hybrid of Lowland Scots, ''bonnie'' meaning "pretty" and Scottish Gaelic ''innis'' meaning island, often anglicised as "Inch", as in Inchkeith or Inchkenneth in Scotland. It allegedly receives of rain a year.〔Andrew Taylor, ("Coast to Coast: The New Zealand TranzAlpine Train means business right from the start" ), ''TravelLady Magazine'', accessed 15 January 2008.〕 It is located on the north bank of the Taramakau River and is just to the south of Lake Poerua. State Highway 73 and the Midland Line railway both pass through Inchbonnie, though the TranzAlpine passenger train does not stop. On 17 March 2006, Inchbonnie was the location for the release of insects in an attempt to eradicate the ragwort weed from the West Coast.〔Landcare Research, ("Flying squad takes over in beetle battle against ragwort" ), published 15 March 2006, accessed 15 January 2008.〕 ==References==
