	Tokomairiro River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town of Milton is located on the Tokomairiro's floodplain, close to the junction of its two main branches (which run past the north and south ends of the town).
		The name of the river is Māori, and translates roughly as 'place where canoe must be poled' (a possible reference to the method needed to travel through the extensive wetlands, instead of the usual paddling).
		The Tokomairiro River is prone to seasonal flooding during the heavy rainfall months--August to October.

	Milton, New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It lies on the floodplain of the Tokomairiro River, the two branches of which flow past the north and south ends of the town.
		A Gothic church, Tokomairiro Presbyterian Church, was built at this time by the architect R A Lawson.
		Its form is largely a ribbon development along the main highway (State Highway 1), with an extension north of the northern branch of the river (the suburb of Helensbrook).

		Two main river systems dominate the Waimea Plains, lying between the Kahurangi National Park to the west, the Richmond Range to the east and the Nelson Lakes National Park to the south: these are the Motueka and Waimea rivers which flow gently across alluvial farm and orchard land.
		This district stretches from the Heaphy River in the north to the Cascade River in the south.
		This large and varied district stretches from the Waiau River in the north-east to the Rakaia River in the south-east; from Lewis Pass in the north-west to Arthurs Pass and the Rakaia headwaters in the south-west.

		The Hawea River between Wanaka and Hawea townships is worth a visit but watch out for fluctuating river flows.
		Many of these high country rivers contain some of the clearest water in the world where rainbow and brown trout are easy to spot but are not always easy to catch.
		Public access to rivers and lakes may exist in the form of riparian reserves adjoining river and lake margins but public access does not exist in all cases.

		The Pomahaka and Waiwera Rivers in South Otago and their tributaries were likely to be the most polluted waterways in Otago.
		The Tokomairiro River in South Otago was "highly polluted" in places, with the discharge of treated sewage from Milton the biggest problem.
		The upper Taieri River had "sections of pristine water and other areas where water quality is so low that it is not recommended for stock water".

		Milton enjoys a warm microclimate in summer, as hot air is trapped on the Tokomairiro flood plain by the low hills that shield Milton from the coast.
		Situated on the mighty Tokomairiro River, Milton occupies a plain that was once covered with dense forest.
		The Tokomairiro River, which branches around the northern and southern ends of the town, forms a number of secluded spots shaded by willow trees which would be really good for dumping a body in.

	Fly Fishing Guide New Zealand Fishing Southern Lakes Trout Fishing Southland Flyfishing New Zealand
		Rainbow trout can be fished for in the rivers and lakes of the Southern Lakes area but it is the quality of brown trout fishing which gives the South its deserved world wide reputation as one of New Zealand's premier fishing destinations.
		From the Waitaki river north of Omaru, where some of the best salmon fishing can be found, to the Taieri near Dunedin, the mighty Clutha in South Otago, or around to Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri, brown and rainbow trout can be found.
		There are many small streams and rivers in the Catlins and fly fishing and spin fishing are recommended for the upper and lower reaches of most of these waterways.

		The Manawatu River downstream from Palmerston North has one of the highest disease risks for swimmers in the region, and suffers from growths of periphyton (green slime) during low flow periods.
		The Oroua River (a tributary to the Manawatu River) is already fully allocated (meaning that no more water is available to resource users).
		The Clutha and Taieri river systems are the largest in the region, both traversing long distances with large catchment areas.

	Bishop Harper and the Canterbury Settlement, by H.T. Purchas (1909)
		The Molyneux or Clutha River, whose swift current brings down to the sea the waters of Wanaka and Hawea Lakes, was not too high for fording, and the travellers now found themselves in a country different from any they had seen as yet.
		The river Mataura is not an easy one to cross, as the bishop was afterwards to find out, and the stockmen at Tuturau warned him not to try to cross it nor attempt the direct route across the Southland Plain.
		Harper were to proceed up stream for some distance in the shallow water before attempting to cross, but the bishop had not heard the exact description of the crossing-place, and thinking he recognised the landmarks on the opposite bank, turned into the stream too soon.

		In Otago a similar development had seen the establishment of yeoman farms on the Taieri and Tokomairiro Plains, south of Dunedin, while the squatters had quickly staked out their runs on the extensive tussock grasslands throughout the rest of the province.
		Their surface is very level, except where the rivers have cut their wide, deep beds, often a mile across, with the stream braided into many channels.
		The deepest blanket of loess is found immediately south of the main rivers, and over considerable areas of the downland to the north and south of the plains.

		Bethune has been at the Molyneux and back, and has fixed on a spot about ten miles south of the river at a place called the Warepa Bush; but as it is unsurveyed he cannot get possession for want of a Government surveyor.
		He had to come from the Molyneux, upwards of 60 miles, but the roads and rivers were all flooded with water with having rained incessantly for several days—indeed we had not seen such a flood for several years.
		He, along with two brothers, left the Molyneux on horses on Monday and reached the Tokomairiro River that afternoon, but it was impassable.

		Dismayed at the actions of the squatters, at the lawlessness and violence on the goldfields, and at the clash between miners and police at Eureka in 1854, Read returned to Hobart, Tasmania, by 1860.
		With the encouragement and assistance of J. Richardson, the speaker of the Otago Provincial Council, and of John Gillies and John Hardy, two farmers of Tokomairiro, he set out for the scene of Edward Peters's prospecting at Woolshed Creek (Glenore), in the Tuapeka district.
		Always conscious of his role in the gold discoveries and in the transformation of the province, he sought payment of the £500 bonus offered by the provincial council.
