Tapanui is a forestry town in West Otago at the foot of the Blue Mountains and the Pomahaka River, closer to Gore than to its own district seat at Balclutha. Sawmilling began in 1866 and the town was laid out in 1868, later becoming a cradle of New Zealand exotic forestry after a nursery was set up here in 1897 to supply the plantations that still clothe 'the Blueys'. Branding itself 'the edge of the forest', it sits in farming and dairy country and lent its name to 'Tapanui flu', the local doctor's early description of what is now known as ME/CFS.
