Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small container which should have enough room for TB and Geo coins.

The unveiling of the plaque at The Landing, erected by the Catlins Historical Society on the 150th anniversary of the Province of Otago, 1998.
Commemorating the early settlers who disembarked here from 1865 to establish the Catlins District.
They arrived primarily to mill trees, the first mill being in operation around 1865. Nine timber mills were operating near the Catlins and Owaka Rivers by the 1880's. In 1877, 107 ships sailed from the Catlins area loaded with timber bound for house building in Dunedin and Christchurch. During the 1870's and 1880's many settlers took up land for farming. The farms were only 20-80 hectares and bought with state assistance. In the early 1900's, farms became larger and freehold. Since the end of the sawmilling era, the Catlins district has relied on farming as its mainstay.
