Gore (Māruawai) sits on the Mataura River in eastern Southland, surrounded by some of the best brown-trout fishing water in the world. The town leans into that with a giant trout statue, and it is just as proud of its country music, hosting the national Gold Guitar Awards each year. Hokonui moonshine history and the local art gallery round out its character.
