River in New Zealand
The Ōmoeroa River is a river of the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island. It flows northwest from its source high in the Southern Alps, 14 kilometres north of Aoraki / Mount Cook, reaching the Tasman Sea 12 kilometres west of Franz Josef.[1]
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of the long sleep" for Ōmoeroa.[2]
