Sutherland
Falls is a waterfall near Milford Sound
in New Zealand's South Island. At 580 m (1,904 ft): were long believed to be
the tallest waterfall in New Zealand, but Terror Falls, in the Poseidon Valley,
are 750 m, and Browne
Falls cascades 843 m leading some to view that as the tallest. The water of
Sutherland falls from Lake
Quill in three cascades: the upper is 229 m tall, the middle is 248 m, and
the lower is 103 m tall. Sutherland Falls was first known to Europeans when a
Scottish settler, Donald
Sutherland, saw them in 1880.
