Pātea stands near the mouth of the Pātea River in South Taranaki, a town whose main street is dominated by a 17 metre concrete monument to the Aotea waka and the crew who, by tradition, settled here after their landfall. Once one of the region's busiest river ports and a borough by 1881, the town was carried for a century by its freezing works until they closed suddenly in 1982 and laid off some 800 workers. From those dark days came 'Poi E', the 1984 hit by the Pātea Māori Club, composer Dalvanius Prime's anthem that kept the town's spirit alive.
