Tongaporutu is a settlement in northern Taranaki, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located on State Highway 3 at the mouth of the Tongaporutu River, 15 kilometres south of Mokau.Tongaporutu is well known in New Zealand for its 'Three Sisters' rock formations and its Maori petroglyphs carved into cave rock walls. However,both the Maori rock carvings and the 'Three Sisters formations are constantly being eroded by the Tasman sea.
This cache is placed at a rest area with plenty of off road parking along State Highway 3. It has a few picnic taables and a view over the mouth of the Tongaporutu River. I normally stop here for a rest on the way home from New Plymouth as there is plenty of room for all types of vehicles and is well off the road. Now you have a good reason to stop for a rest and a look at the view while collecting an easy prize. Bring your own pen.
