Island View, Taumarumaru Reserve Traditional Cache

Taumarumaru Scenic Reserve is mostly an open area and tracks are identified by mowing and track markers. A short walk over the reserve is rewarded with great views and access to a small beach.

The reserve provides ideal opportunities for walking, fishing and historic appreciation. Dogs are allowed in the reserve provided they are on a lead at all times.

Located on a steep rocky headland, Taumarumaru Reserve contains three pa sites, two on the headland  (Ohumuhumu and Otanenui) and one on the central ridge (Taumarumaru).

Found within the reserve are undefended living terraces and storage pits which indicate this site was intensively occupied in pre-European times.

Cache is a medium sized container hidden in a pretty cool spot. Great for Travel Bugs and Geo-coins as well as small swaps. Cache log is stored in the film canister.

Please re-cover cache with natural camouflage to help it stay undetected.

Enjoy the walk and great views. We would love to see your photos.
