Geocache Description:


Best searched for when heading NORTH on SH1, ample parking off this busy road.

Saw a couple of iterations of this sign and Googled the name, interesting backstory here;

Bulls

For quite some time the site destined to become Bulls township was known as "Daniell's Bush". In 1855 Captain Edward Daniell established "Killeymoon Homestead" in the middle of the area which encompassed the future Bulls and up to Curls bridge. In 1870s early settlers gave the name of "Bulls" to their town, named after James Bull, the carpenter from Chelsea in London who made his way to New Zealand in 1857 and progressed from leasing a 5 acre section from Daniell to founding a whole town. Mr Rangi Reweti was the first Māori member elected in 1968, to the Bulls County Town Committee, although Bulls became a township in 1873 nearly 100 years earlier.

Cache is a pill-pot with RITR log-strips inside, please BYOP and write small.
