Manapouri is a small lakeside village on the shore of Lake Manapōuri in Fiordland, the launching point for boat trips across the lake and on to Doubtful Sound. It lends its name to the Manapōuri Power Station, New Zealand's largest hydro station, built deep inside granite to drive the Tiwai Point smelter using the fall between the lake and Doubtful Sound. The town is woven into the country's conservation story through the Save Manapouri campaign of 1969 to 1972, when nearly a tenth of all New Zealanders signed a petition to stop the lake being raised.
