State Highway 65 (also known as the
Shenandoah Highway) is a
New Zealand State Highway in the
South Island. It is 71 km long and runs south to north down the Maruia river valley from SH 7 at Springs Junction, 15 km west of the main divide at the Lewis Pass, to SH 6 in the Buller Gorge, 11 km west of
Murchison. It forms part of the most direct route between
Christchurch and
