Growly Bear: As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This Traditional Cache was published in conjunction with the
12-12-12: A Cataclysmic Event (Rotorua) event.

Waka Taua
- a vessel for the conveyance of a war party -
Te Arawa should be accorded the respect that this function commands.

The Waka Is some 20 metres long, weighs 2.5 tonnes
and was constructed by hand, using traditional techniques and tools.
The hull is three separate sections of Totara (a NZ native species of timber)
bound together.
