Geocache Description:

Location is in fairly large reserve close to the Manukau Harbour.Great place for picnics,swimming,walks etc.

 

 

The Huia area has always been a place of abundant seafood and from this place comes this tale of Maori history before the arrival of the European.

This story revolves around two lovers from rival Maori tribes who fell in love, overcame the odds,and we hope lived happily ever after. The story of how this happened is told in mosaic pattern close to the above picture and explains the traditional name for this area.
