Geocache Description:

This section was donated to the Lower Hutt City Council by Husband and Wife James and Jean Bertram.


The Bertram's; Jean a successful journalist, James a Rhodes Scholar, author and the first British journalist to interview Mao Tse-tung, a prisoner of war of the Japanese and Professor at Victoria University.

In 1949 the couple settled on a large section in Belmont. Developing it and regenerating the native bush over the following decades.

In 1978 the Bertrams donated around half an acre of their hillside section as reserve to the city to preserve the streambed and surrounding bush. The Bertrams were concerned about the effects of large housing developments though the western hills.

Today you can take the short walk up the streambed though Bertrams Reserve, as it joins the bottom of Park road to Palm Grove.

The cache a 160ml Xeonic container, contained a logbook and pencil with room for small swaps only.

Please NOTE that if you must sign the logbook for each individual cachers or proof of a photo for group logs, otherwise you log may be deleted. Please hide the cache exactly how you found it as we don't really want it to get muggled.
