About this image

DescriptionLake Brunner is the largest lake in the northwestern South Island of New Zealand, covering an area of 40 km². The lake's outflow is the Arnold River, a tributary of the Grey River. The lake lies 31 kilometres to the southeast of Greymouth.

Lake Brunner was named by John Rochfort for the 19th century explorer Thomas Brunner. The Māori name for the lake, Kotuku moana, means "Sea of herons".

The New Zealand freshwater mussel is found in the lake.
By 1976 twenty percent of the catchment of the lake was farmed and there was a population of 84 at the settlement of Moana
