- Thornbury est une petite localité, située dans l’ouest de la région du Southland dans le sud de l’Île du Sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande. (fr)
- Thornbury is a small township on the east bank of the lower Aparima River, in western Southland, New Zealand. It is approximately 10 km northeast of Riverton, and 31 km northwest of Invercargill. It is mainly a farming service community. Local small industries include machinery and transport/trucking companies, and a tannery. The township was founded by pioneer settlers Matthew Instone and Robert Foster. It was named by Robert Foster after his wife's birthplace, the market town of Thornbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Originally Thornbury had grown around a railway junction. The railway line from Invercargill split at Thornbury, with one branch going around the coast to Riverton and Tuatapere/Orawia, and the Wairio Branch going inland to the coal mines at Nightcaps. In 1978 the Tuatapere Branch was closed and was eventually removed. Thornbury has one school for primary-age children, called Thornbury School [1]. The school celebrated in 2008 its 125th anniversary, the original school having opened on June 6, 1883. (en)
