Tuatapere is a western Southland town on the Waiau River, about 90 kilometres north-west of Invercargill and a short way inland from Te Waewae Bay. It began as a sawmilling centre in the 1880s, and a group of Hungarian settlers helped earn it a lasting reputation as the 'sausage capital of New Zealand'. With the mills long gone, the town is now best known as the gateway to the three-day Hump Ridge Track into Fiordland National Park.
