Manuka Creek

Manuka Creek is a locality in Otago, New Zealand, on the banks of the Manuka Stream, a tributary of the Tokomairiro River. It is located a short distance to the east of New [Zealand State Highway 8|State Highway 8]. The Manuka Railway Station on the Roxburgh Branch line was located by it. Herbert Deveril and Albert [Percy Godber] photographed the railway station. The creek was once a busy site for gold mining.
Immediately to the north of the settlement, the state highway passes through the Manuka Gorge, a narrow stretch along the upper course of the Manuka Stream. Immediately above the gorge, the highway crosses a small saddle before descending along the valley of a tributary of the Waitāhuna River.
