Dillon River (New Zealand)

The Dillon River is a river of the Marlborough Region of New Zealand. It arises in the Inland Kaikōura Range near Carters Saddle, and flows south-west for 28 km to join with the upper Waiau Toa / Clarence River 20 km northeast of Hanmer Springs. The river's course lies largely parallel with that of the Acheron River, which lies 8 km to the west. The river was named after Constantine Dillon, who owned a sheep run near the Omaka River.
