Waipapa Point is a rocky promontory on the south coast of Foveaux Strait, the South Island of New Zealand. It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southeast of the mouth of the Mataura River, at the extreme southwestern end of the area known as the Catlins. A lighthouse was built on the point in response to the tragedy; it began operating in 1884. With its sibling, the retired Kaipara North Head lighthouse, this was one of the last two wooden lighthouses built in New Zealand. It is still active, and was automated in 1976.

- La punta Waipapa (en inglés, Waipapa Point es un promontorio rocoso en la costa meridional de la Isla Sur, en Nueva Zelanda. Se encuentra a 10 kilómetros al sureste de la desembocadura del río Mataura, en el extremo suroccidental del área conocida como The Catlins. La línea costera de The Catlins es muy peligrosa, habiendo ocurrido muchos naufragios en la zona. El más notable de ellos, además del mayor desastre marino de Nueva Zelanda, fue el hundimiento del vapor de pasajeros Tararua, en ruta entre Bluff y Port Chalmers, que se hundió en punta Waipapa el 29 de abril de 1881, ahogándose 20 de los 151 pasajeros. Tras la tragedia se construyó un faro en este lugar, que comenzó a operar en 1884. Actualmente se mantiene activo, funcionando automáticamente desde 1976. Es uno de los últimos faros que se construyeron en madera en el país. (es)
- Waipapa Point is a rocky promontory on the south coast of Foveaux Strait, the South Island of New Zealand. It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southeast of the mouth of the Mataura River, at the extreme southwestern end of the area known as the Catlins. The coastline of the Catlins is notoriously dangerous, and there have been many shipwrecks in the region. The most notable of these, and also one of New Zealand's worst shipping disasters, was the wreck of the passenger steamer Tararua, en route from Port Chalmers to Melbourne via Bluff, which foundered off Waipapa Point on 29 April 1881 with the loss of all but 20 of the 151 people aboard. A lighthouse was built on the point in response to the tragedy; it began operating in 1884. With its sibling, the retired Kaipara North Head lighthouse, this was one of the last two wooden lighthouses built in New Zealand. It is still active, and was automated in 1976. (en)
