Geocache Description:



The ADVer's are particularly fond of finding caches placed at old school sites, whether it be just a sign marking the spot, just a remaining memorial gate, or on the odd occassion some remaining buildings. The younger ones of course are quick to compare with their own school, and as we all attended, or are attending, big city schools ourselves we  like to take some time and imagine the time and the place, and what it would be like attending  the particular old rural school we are visiting. We were quite thrilled to come across a number of old schools that remain completely intact so hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did....

You will find the cache at the Pakihikura School Recreational Reserve, site of the old Pakihikura school, and now administered as a reserve by the Manawatu District Council. There is a playground, barbecue, picnic tables, and a tennis court. There is also a library within the buildings which is run by the community. The former school buildings have toilets and changing sheds.
