Awarua Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Awarua Point is located on the southwestern coast of New Zealand's South Island, 40 kilometres north of Milford Sound, and 15 kilometres north of the mouth of the Hollyford River.[1]
Traditionally, Awarua Point is regarded as the end of Fiordland and the start of the West Coast region, although the boundary of Fiordland National Park is located 10 kilometres further south at the northern end of Martins Bay.
