Geocache Description:


The name. Tāhunanui Beach was commonly known as 'The Sands' until a competition was run in 1902 to suggest a name. 442 suggestions were made and the Māori name Tāhuna was selected, meaning 'sand bank' or 'sand hill'.you can see why when you look at satellite pics it looks like a sandbank and dunes always changing with wind and tide it probably looked quite different back then.

The kids use to love playing in the bushes around here it seems to the council has cut more bush out than what's left.

The cache should be easy to find please cover it with natures camo when placed back.

hope it a fun one.

A new cache has replaced to original. I was going to archive this cache then realised it's one of most found caches so a replacement is required. 

It is now a bison tube tied in a tree within arms reach of the original tree. 

Good luck and thanks for finding.
