Now he is a full grown man,
But there's still a Sergeant Dan!
Happy, chubby little son,
Loves to romp around and run.
Just like Dan in years gone by
Quick of wit, alert and spry!
"I advise," he loves to say,
"Some Cweamoata every day!
"Try Cweamoata and" says he,
"You'll grow hardy! Look at me!"
Follow this advice and you
Will be strong and sturdy, too."
People may remember
breakfasts of Creamota porridge, and little Sergeant Dan who
promoted the porridge manufactured and distributed from Gore by the
entrepreneurial Fleming family.
The Flemings built a large and impressive processing plant on a
Gorton Street site for several reasons. One of these was its
proximity to the main South Island railway line - the Flemings had
their own spur that is still there today.
Another reason was that Gore was close to the South Island's major
grain-growing areas and a third was that the district had a stable
and reliable workforce.
Today Creamoata may be no more - but SGT Dan is still alive and
kicking!
The cache is located very near to the good Sgt. Cache is a two
litre painted snaplock. It should be fairly easy to find in the
only logical place at this spot.
