Geocache Description:


This cache was inherited from the infamous Skindo and is located on the track to Holdsworth Lookout. Original description below:

A Pa Punanga is a place to which the Maori people of old retired when war parties invaded their district. This site was probably occupied up to 1840. The small terraces scattered throughout are the remaining evidence of occupation, it is probable that the site was used as a dormitory area, occupied for only a matter of days at a time, without the construction of permanent shelters.

The cache is a small black screw top plastic jar, containing a log-book.
