	WAKATIPU, LAKE - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		At the foot of the lake is a natural dam of moraine left by the glacier which formerly occupied the lake basin.
		Wakatipu is said to be a shortened form of “Wakatipuwaimaori” though its meaning appears to be unknown.
		The trough is the lake and the goblin (or monster) rests therein and his breathing causes the regular rise and fall of the “waimaori” (fresh water) that fills the trough.

	TSS EARNSLAW - The New Zealand Maritime Record - NZNMM
		Following the establishment of sheep runs around the lake shores, it was the discovery of gold in the region that gave impetus to the number of vessels, sail and steam, on these Wakatipian waters.
		(Lake Wakatipu actually crosses the 45th meridian - halfway between the Equator and the South Pole.) The provision of hot meals ceased and the electric generator in the engine room was transferred to the galley space once the coal range and galley fittings had been removed.
		A big blow to the Lake Wakatipu steamer service occurred in 1936 when the road, built by unemployed labour, was opened around the foot of the Remarkables from Kingston and Frankton and on to Queenstown.

	Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand - Activities and History
		Being the third largest lake in New Zealand, Lake Wakatipu is somewhat interesting.
		Because of the mountains which rise hastily from the shore of this glacier lake, Lake Wakatipu has an unusual rhythmic rise and fall in water level, roughly about 12 cm every five minutes.
		In a Maori legend, this strange rhythmic rise and fall in water level is said to be the cause of the beating of a monsters heart from the depths.
