Three Punga's (Rotorua) Traditional Cache

This is a quick park and grab although you may wish to stop and have a pinic next to the lake.

Cache is a 200ml sistema container camoflouraged.

Legend has it that while hunting one day Ihenga’s dog Potakatawhiti disappeared for some time and on return, vomited up whitebait. Ihenga realised he was near water but because of the size of the particular bay he arrived into, was deceived into thinking the lake was small. He called it Lake Rotoiti, or Te Roto-whaiti-i-kite-ai-a-Ihenga-i-Ariki-ai-a Kahumatamomoe (the small lake discovered by Ihenga). Lake Rotoiti is actually a relatively large lake lying to the east of Rotorua, and is connected to Lake Rotorua by the Ohau Channel. It’s a popular spot for boaties and has the accessible-by-boat only Manupiria Hot Springs on its shores.
