Queen Charlotte Sound (New Zealand)
Queen Charlotte Sound is the easternmost of the main sounds of the Marlborough Sounds, in New Zealand's South Island. It is, like the other sounds, a drowned river valley, and like the majority of its neighbours it runs southwest to northeast before joining Cook Strait. The town of Picton, the northern terminus of the South Island's railway and State Highway networks, lies near the head of the Sound. Other settlements by the sound are small and isolated - often simply individual properties.
Allports Island
Allports Island is a small uninhabited island located in Queen Charlotte Sound in Marlborough, New Zealand. It reaches a height of 79 metres and is 1 kilometre from the New Zealand mainland. An even smaller unnamed island lies immediately to the east of it. Both islands are covered in native bush. {{#invoke:Coordinates|coord}}{{#coordinates:41|14|S|174|04|E|region:NZ_type:isle|| |primary |name= }}
Graham River
The Graham River is a river in the Marlborough Region of New Zealand. It arises to the south-east of Mount McCormick and flows north, then west, then north again, and into Whatamango Bay on the south side of Queen Charlotte Sound. Part of the river valley was subdivided into residential sections in the 1950s. Some of the sections were built on in 2000.
