Geocache Description:


A new log book for a new cache in the same location as V1 and V2.

 The first recorded game of cricket in New Zealand was played near this spot on December 20, 1832.

Information from historical documents - including the early jounals of missionary Rev Henry Williams, and a sketch map drawn by Edwin Fairburn who took part in that first game - places the match near Horotutu beach.

The game was an end of school treat, and was not a conventional eleven-a-side match. Instead it involved up to 50 children of all ages - a truly bi-cultural affair with families from the missionaries and Tai Tokerau rangatira taking part.
