Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden near a historic spot along the Summit Rd.

Robert Heaton Rhodes (from https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/3r14/rhodes-robert-heaton)

Rhodes was highly respected by the Māori of Banks Peninsula for taking the trouble to learn their language; he once acted as interpreter for an elder addressing the governor general. Before he left for the South African War, local Māori presented him with two valuable greenstone mere. His family's early connection with Akaroa gave him a special interest in this part of the peninsula, and when the little Māori church at Ōnuku was being restored for the 1940 centennial he arranged for a new altar to be carved at Rotorua by Māori craftsmen.

Room for small swaps.
