Mid Canterbury
Mid Canterbury (also spelt Mid-Canterbury and mid-Canterbury) is a traditional, semi-official subregion of New Zealand's Canterbury Region extending inland from the Pacific coast to the Southern Alps. It is one of four traditional sub-regions of Canterbury, along with South Canterbury, North Canterbury, and Christchurch City. The area is mainly agricultural, extending as it does across the Canterbury Plains, rising in the west to the high country. Beyond this the land rises sharply to the main divide and peaks of the Southern Alps. Several prominent peaks lie in Mid Canterbury, most notably the country's 23rd-highest mountain, the Mount Dixon. Various points are designated as being the southern and northern limits of Mid Canterbury, but all definitions of it include that area between the mouths of the Rangitata River and Rakaia Rivers, roughly coterminous with the Ashburton District. Some definitions push the northern border north to include Lake Coleridge and the approache ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
