unreferenced date March 2007 The Catlins Ranges are a series of rugged, roughly parallel hill ranges in the southeastern corner of New Zealand s South Island . They take their name from the name given to this part of the country the Catlins . The ranges lie mostly in Otago , although their western extremes lie in Southland, New Zealand Southland Region. There are four distinct ranges the small Rata and Beresford Ranges in the northeast, the Maclennan Range in the southwest, and the Forest Range, which can be considered as an extension of the Maclennan Range. Each of these ranges is oriented along a northwest southeast axis. The ranges are separated by the valleys of the Catlins River Catlins and Tahakopa River s. Inland, close to the water divide watershed s of these rivers, the boundaries between the ranges become indistinct, part of the reason why they are often grouped together under the one name. The Maclennan Range is the largest of the ranges in terms of length, being some 25 km 15 mi in length, but most of the highest hills are found inland in the area where the ranges are not easily differentiated. The highest point in the Catlins Ranges is the 720 m 2361 ft summit of Mount Pye, New Zealand Mt. Pye , which is located 25 km 40 mi north northeast of Waikawa, Southland Waikawa . Other prominent peaks include Mount Rosebery, New Zealand Mt Rosebery 719 m 2359 ft , Ajax Hill 698 m 2290 ft , Catlins Cone 698 m 2290 ft , and Mt Tautuku 691 m 2266 ft . coord 46 25 0 S 169 20 0 E region NZ display title Category Otago Region Category Southland Region Category Mountain ranges of New Zealand Otago geo stub Southland geo stub es Montes Catlins ... more details
