This cache is situated in Ongaonga
Ongaonga has more than its share of history. Set in a peaceful spot a stone's throw from SH50, Ongaonga has a collection of historic buildings gathered from all over the district and clustered around the Department of Conservation's field office to make a picturesque historic village. Even the DOC field office is a slice of local history, having been the original Pendle Hill Homestead before it was carefully removed from its spot beneath the Wakarara Ranges and shifted to Ongaonga and restored. The buildings include an old school house and a jail.
They fit in well with Ongaonga's own historic buildings, which include homes, a factory and a general store. Visitors can pick up a map and brochure on any day of the week from the Ongaonga General Store and take a walk through historic Ongaonga village. View the elegant Edwardian buildings, nineteenth century cottages and the most beautiful architecturally designed butcher shop in New Zealand.
The cache is a small black 'V' container, containing a log-book.
Please bring your own pen.
