List of waterfalls of New Zealand : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of waterfalls of New Zealand
This is a list of notable waterfalls in New Zealand. Many of the highest waterfalls are in Fiordland. ==New Zealand waterfalls== New Zealand, according to the gazeteer maintained by Land Information New Zealand has “249 named waterfalls and 31 named rapids”. There are perhaps seven named “Bridal Veil”, and 17 which include “Rere” meaning “to leap or descend”. In the North Island only 18 of 130 have non-Maori names (including 5 clustered around Mount Taranaki), but in the South Island only 15 of the 150 named waterfalls (or rapids) have retained their Maori name.〔Kirkpatrick p114〕 There are disagreements on what constitutes a waterfall, e.g. the Browne Falls which is claimed to be “the tallest at around 800m, but this is misleading: the 'fall' is in reality a steep stream" and “cateracts many would not call waterfalls (eg) the 800m Browne Falls (which is) little more than a steep stream” 〔Kirkpatrick pp 128,130〕
