William Colenso (Hawkes Bay) Traditional Cache

William Colenso established an Anglican mission station near Clive in 1844. The land was swampy and, as Colenso had the misfortune to experience on a number of occasions, prone to flooding.  In 1847 his house was inundated by flood waters, which left a layer of silt 15 centimetres thick after they receded. 

The Cache is at the Site of the William Colenso Mission Station.

Cache is a small container with room for a small TB, and contains only a log.
