Catlins River

BW

The Catlins River is a river in the countryside The Catlins in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. It rises about 40 km southwest of Balclutha in an uninhabited area north of the Catlins Forest Park.

The river passes at its middle reaches the place Tawanui. About 10 km east of the river forms the Catlins Lake, where the places hinahina and Ratanui lie. After the flow has passed a bridge between the largest town on the Catlins, Owaka and the south side of the lake at the end of the lake, he takes west of Pounawea on his only major tributary, the Owaka River. It happens even to resort north of the mouth lying New Haven and then empties into the Pacific Ocean.
