	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Heathcote River
		Although Heathcote is regarded as equal to, if not the finest red wine region in Australia, the wines are perceived as exclusive; not only because of their high quality, but because some are only available at cellar doors.
		Whilst the Heathcote Region earned its name as a producer of shiraz, it is also gaining a well-earned reputation as a premium producer of other wines, including viogner, verdelho and marsanne.
		River Pearl is in Glen Rock PA, 35 minutes north of Towson MD. Codorus Creek flows through the property and it is bordered by the York County Heritage Railtrail.

	Heathcote Shiraz
		The main outcrop of igneous Cambrian rock, the Heathcote Greenstone occurs in a strip running from the south end of Heathcote to the junction of the Mclvor and Northern Highway at the north end of the town.
		So the Heathcote area can be considered as two slabs of rolling, folded, eroded sedimentary rocks separated by a strip of super complex minerals formed by volcanoes, igneous intrusion and metamorphosed sediments with all sorts of mineral lying around in the rubble.
		To the west of the Heathcote fault the country is also sedimentary, and looks similar to the Costerfield country but the sandstones and mudstones are older, dating from the Ordovician period and known as the Lancefieldian series.

		Harry Heathcote had been left an orphan, with a small fortune in money, when he was fourteen.

		Heathcote was the taller of the two, and the larger-featured.

	Heathcote River, Christchurch
		In its upper reaches near Wigram airfield the Heathcote is close to the head of the Halswell River.

		The choice of schemes to remedy this situation was to widen the river bed around the Woolston Loop or to construct a flood channel across the neck of the loop.

		The numbers of snails found to be parasitised by active stages of individual trematode species in my study were similar to those recorded in New Zealand by Macfarlane (1939) for Coitocaecum anaspidls (0.5 - 1.0% in Heathcote River), Stegadexamene anguillae (0.7% in Hut River) and Telogaster opisthocchis plus s.
		The highest snail infection rate recorded by Macfarlane (1952), 15.8% for all trematode species (number and identities not given) in the Heathcote River, however, exceeded the highest cercarial infection rates that I found.
		Most species of mollusc that have been examined, act as intermediate host for less than 10 trematode species (Ewers 1964), although there are a number of exceptions including the pulmonate Lymnaea natalensis Krauss, the natural host of at least 43 known species of fluke.
