Geocache Description:

This was a nice quiet picnic spot with a boardwalk through native flax (harakeke) and cabage trees (tī kōuka) until the quake changed the course of the river. Now there is some flooding and gumboots or jandals are essential.

"Tī kōuka were prized trees for the Māori of Te Wai Pounamu. Aside from their use as navigational markers, they provided the favoured fibre for fishing due to superior strength and the kōuru or new shoots were an important source of protein in a land where kūmara was difficult if not impossible to grow."
