River Walkway
There is a walkway running from Captain Cook’s statue at the
entry of the mouth of theTuranganui River, all the way back to town
close to the monument of Wiremu Pere who was M.P. for Eastern Maori
from 1884–1886 and 1894 1905 and Member of the Legislative
Council from 1907–1912. He died in 1915
The cache is situated along this walkway that goes under a big
bridge carrying State Higway 35 which is called Wainui Rd as it
comes into town and crosses the shortest river of the world
(1200meters) called Turanganui River.
Stream upwards two rivers come together to form the source of the
Turanganui River, they are: Taraheru River Waimata River
Satellite reception a bit made difficult by buildings around. Watch
the children as it is close to the water. Requires high stealth
because of the strollers and joggers that use the pathway. Lots of
muggles. Take your time and observe how you get the container out
in order to replace it exactly how you found it. The cache is a
round 125ml snaplock container with a magnet at the base. At the
start it contained:
Logsheets in a plastic bag with silica gel
Pencil and sharpener
White dice
