The Gouland Downs is a high plateau in Kahurangi National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. The route of the Heaphy Track crosses the northern margin of the downs. This area is a peneplain, a low-relief plain formed from prolonged erosion. Beneath the tussock in the Gouland Downs are sandstone and mudstone sedimentary rocks that were formed in the Lower Palaeozoic era around 400 to 500 million years ago. Most of Gouland Downs has shallow and infertile soil where the only plants that thrive are tussocks and rushes.
