Geocache Description:


Visit the historic mining town of Matakanui or Tinkers as it was originally known.

This cache is another in the series of caches in which drawp has traced some of the pathways of his heritiage. A paternal great grandfather was a gold miner at Tinkers and some of his children attended this school.

Matakanui School which has survived at least two moves by sledge still retains its original bell. It was originally at Thompson Creek, near Drybread before it was shifted to it present location. The building is now used as a wool shed.

The cache is a pill container with log book and pencil.
