Hokonui Hills
The Hokonui Hills, also known as ''The Hokonui Mountains'' or simply ''The Hokonui'', are a range of hills in central Southland, New Zealand. They rise to 600 metres above the surrounding Southland Plains, of which the hills mark a northern extremity. The Hokonui forms part of the Southland Syncline, a geological fold system which extends northwestward from the coast at The Catlins.
