Gulliver River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Gulliver River is a river in the Fiordland area of New Zealand. It starts in the Darran Mountains on the north slope of Mount Talbot, and flows north and then west into the Cleddau River, which runs into Milford Sound. The river was named in 1906 by W.G. Grave for Alf Grenfell, who had a nickname of "Gulliver". A track along the Gulliver River from the Cleddau is suitable for day walks in summer and autumn and can be extended on the Grave Talbot Track into the Espereance valley, past the 59 m (194 ft) high De Lambert Falls and over the Grave Talbot Pass. In 1975 three remaining kākāpō in the Esperance and Gulliver Valleys were moved to Maud Island.

Flows through: New Zealand.
