Denniston, New Zealand

Denniston is a small settlement in the northwestern South Island of New Zealand, in the West Coast region. It is on the small Mount Rochfort Plateau in the Papahaua Ranges 600 metres above sea level, 18 kilometres north-east of Westport. During the early years of the 20th century Denniston's population was close to 2000, due to the large coal mine close to the town. It is now little more than a ghost town, with a population of less than 50.

Waimangaroa River

The Waimangaroa River is located on the West Coast of New Zealand. The river passes through tussock, scrub and forested areas before draining into the Karamea Bight in the Tasman Sea. It passes through the town of Waimangaroa and is crossed by the Ngakawau Branch railway, with the rail bridge brought into service in 1877. That year, the Conns Creek Branch opened, a sub-branch line that closely followed the river east from Waimangaroa to the foot of the Denniston Incline. It closed in 1967.

Located at -41.7, 171.75 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
