The Ohinemuri River is located in the northern half of New Zealand's North Island, at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula. The river's source is north-east of the town of Waihi, close to the shore of the Bay of Plenty, but flows west rather than into the bay. It runs through the steep-sided Karangahake Gorge, forming a break between the Coromandel Range and the Kaimai Ranges. After , it joins the Waihou River near the town of Paeroa, south of the Firth of Thames, into which the Waihou River empties. ==Tributaries== * Mataora Stream, running through the Golden Valley from a source only 1.5 km from the Bay of Plenty coastline. * Mangatoetoe Stream, which bisects the town of Waihi. * Waitete Stream, originating in the Coromandel Range near Waihi. This stream forms a natural boundary on the north-western side of Waihi and joins the Ohinemuri River immediately after Black Pool Dam. * Waimata Stream, starting in the Kaimai Ranges near the Athenree Gorge. * Waitekauri River, with its source deep in the Coromandel ranges, near the Komata goldfields. * Taieri Stream, originating west of the Pukewera Hill, and the beautiful Owharoa Falls, near the confluence with the Ohinemuri River. * Waitawheta River, flowing from deep in the Kaimai Ranges, south-east of Mount Te Aroha, and through the Waitawheta Gorge to Karangahake, where it joins Ohinemuri River. 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「Ohinemuri River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
