**Do not park on SH12** Take the turn off to Matakohe museum then head to the end of Barlow Lane where it meets the new road.
The Wahi Toanga was placed here to mark the new Matakohe bridges which replaced the old wooden bridges and straightened the road to Ruawai.
The tall Pou (pole) has a Manu (the white Tui) perched ontop symbolising the sewing or weaving and binding all the nations thoughout the world together.
This is also the beginning of the new Matakohe walk/cycleway which will is still in construction but follows the mangroves to the second old bridge.
Enjoy this area. Cache is a small square click clack with a little room for swapables/TB's.
