Hundalee Hills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hundalee Hills are located close to the borders of Canterbury and Marlborough in the South Island of New Zealand.
They are located 40 kilometres to the south of Kaikoura, and are known largely for a notorious stretch of State Highway 1 between Kaikoura and Christchurch.[citation needed] The road winds sharply around the edge of several hills, as does the Conway River, which reaches the Pacific Ocean close to the Hundalees.
Within the Hundalee Hills is the rural locality of Hundalee. This was briefly a terminus of the Main North Line railway that winds its way through the Hundalee Hills,[1] and it was also the home of World War II hero Charles Upham after he returned from combat.[2]
