The cache is near the beginning of one of the board walks through the native bush of Parry Kauri Park. For information on the native trees and shrubs in the park brochures are available (free) from the Museum souvenir shop. If you have time I recommend doing the full loop. Takes about 30 minutes
In the early years of European settlement Parry Kauri Park was part of the property owned by the Rev McKinney, the first minister of the Presbyterian Church in Warkworth and the Mahurangi. The land was later purchased by the Simpson family who requested that on the sale of their land, the trees and bush be offered for purchase as a public amenity. The two large kauri trees are named in honour of these former land owners.
NB gate to park opens at 8am, closes at 5pm in winter, and 6pm in summer. Please only attempt cache during this time.
