Edendale is a farming town on the Southland plains, about 35 kilometres northeast of Invercargill near the Mataura River. It holds an outsized place in New Zealand history as the home of the country's first large-scale dairy factory, opened by Thomas Brydone in 1882 and winner of a government bonus for the first commercial export of cheese. Dairying still defines the district, with the giant Fonterra Edendale site one of the largest milk-processing plants in the southern hemisphere.
