Lauder is a small Central Otago settlement on the Otago Central Rail Trail between Omakau and Oturehua, named in 1873 after the Scottish town by surveyor John Turnbull Thomson. Just south the trail climbs into the spectacular Poolburn Gorge, with its schist bluffs, hand-dug tunnels and the 37 metre Poolburn Viaduct. Above the village sits Lauder's other claim to fame, NIWA's atmospheric research station, where clear skies and isolation have made it a world reference site for measuring ozone, UV and greenhouse gases since 1961.
