Patearoa is a small rural settlement on the southern edge of the Maniototo, near the upper reaches of the Taieri River in Central Otago. Once known as Sowburn, it serviced the gold diggings of the 1860s, and the Sowburn walkway still passes old sluicings, a water race and the site of a Chinese miners' camp. Today it is quiet sheep and tussock country, a back-road detour off the Maniototo loop with the Rock and Pillar Range as a backdrop.
