Geocache Description:

An easy find near a place with happy childhood memories for me.

Matawhero Church: an historic church in the area of the massacre of 54 people by Te Kooti on November 10th 1868. More information can be found here and elsewhere.

The co-ordinates are for the information sign for the Matawhero Church; the cache is about 15 metres along the fenceline in an approx. SSW direction. The cache is outside the fenced property, so there is no need to enter the church grounds to retrieve it. Please take care in returning it so that it is well hidden.

The cache is a 400ml Sistema container. (Original contents: log book, pencil, pencil sharpener, and 3 small trade-ables.)

Please people - don't open caches out in the pouring rain (open them where it is dry), and don't put trinkets in the log book bag (it can make the bag hard to close and let moisture in). - Thanks.

Please take care when finding the cache, and replace it carefully to avoid cache tampering.

And please remember ... trade up, trade equal, or don't trade. - Thanks.
