Beautiful Avon River flows in Hagley Park, Christchurch, NZ which is impressed favourably by the gardencity citizens. The river has some nice view points where are Botanic Gardens, Mona Vale, Riccarton House and others. I have been interested in this origin of river. About ten years ago, I found some fountains in Avonhead which came from the rains on the ground of Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains. The spring and stream vary seasonally with the water volume. Five years ago, I saw the drain and no water in the river, but last February I found the considerable stream from underground. In addition to the lovely river, there are many fine forests, houses, streets and gardens in Avonhead and neighborhood. As a symbol, I would like to refer to the Royds Street. The houses and gardens of the streets has good atmosphere, and the residents are eager to repair and to keep the beautiful houses and plants. They are no so expensive in money price, however, they are valuable in the quality of life.
