Enjoyed every day by hundreds of walkers and joggers, Te Mata Park has an extensive network of well-formed tracks that provide varied landscapes, views and gradients. This cache is located on the first part of a trail called the Karaka Wander. At the end of the Chambers Walk take a dog leg to the left. After a short distance turn right at the sign to the main gates. Take the left at the next fork. The full trail will take approx 1hr 15 mins and is a wonderful ‘wander’ through the upper parts of Park— mature trees, native bush and open grassland to dramatic cliffs and panoramic views. The route passes a large grove of Karaka trees, believed to be at least 200 years old.
The Cache is located approx 5 m off the track. It contains a micro size log but is large enough for trackables. Mobile coverage can be patchy here so stay on the track until your GPS indicates you are close to GZ.
