Northern Wairoa Memorial Park (Northland) Traditional Cache

This cache was hidden as part of Conservation Week 2016, and is located in the small bush, at the foot of a large kahikatea tree on the path.  If you decide to go offtrack, you will not find this cache.

This bush is one of the few remnants of native bush which once covered the Northern Wairoa River's catchment, and the only public bush in Takiwira/Dargaville which is remisicent of the town's pre-settlement days.  It is relatively young and devoid of the mature trees which once populated this whole area, however, give it a few years and you'll be given more of glimpse to this regions historical wonder.

Keep an eye and an ear out for the cheeky fantail (piwakawaka) and the small, but loud, grey warbler (riroriro) who still call this bush home!
