The Gulliver River is a river in the Fiordland area of New Zealand. It starts in the Darran Mountains near the Grave-Talbot Pass, and flows north and then west into the Cleddau River, which runs into Milford Sound.[1] The river was named in 1906 by W.G. Grave for Alf Grenfell, who had a nickname of "Gulliver".[2] A track along the Gulliver River from the Cleddau is suitable for day walks in summer and autumn[3] 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.[4]

[de] Gulliver River

Der Gulliver River ist ein Fluss im Südwesten der Südinsel Neuseelands und Teil der Darran Mountains im Fiordland-Nationalpark. Er führt das Wasser zahlreicher Bäche sowie des Esperance River, der an der Nordflanke des 1931 m hohen Mount McPherson entspringt, in den Cleddau River ab, der nach wenigen Kilometern in den Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, einen Meeresarm der Tasmansee, mündet. Kurz vor der Mündung in den Cleddau River überquert der New Zealand State Highway 94 sowohl den Gulliver als auch den Donne River.[1]
