A simple Park n Grab, or is it? Maybe, maybe not.
A little out of the ordinary, and hopefully a cache that you will like finding.
Ohau Hall was built about the year 1900, and was known as the Ohau Institute. It was situated on Muhunoa West Road about 8 chains from the Main Highway. It was built by the residents, mostly by voluntary labour and was controlled by a committee. It was let for many purposes, religious and otherwise.
When the Ohau School burnt down in 1907 school was then held in the Public Hall, until the new school was opened in 1908.
About 1917, the Committee erected a single men’s toilet on the east boundary. This new building caught the eye of some of the young fry in the village who saw fit to go along one dark night and tip it over. One member of the Committee who had suspicions, or heard a whisper as to whom the culprits were, rounded them up and supervised proceedings while they put it back in position. It is good to know that there are still some brave men in the world …
The Hall was destroyed by fire in 1942 and in 1944 a fine new building was erected on the same site, and serves the community well, many and varied functions being held there to this day.
Plenty of off-road parking within 30m of GZ.
There is no room in this container for items of SWAG and/or TB’s. Pease bring along your own scrawling device.
Please exercise stealth when at the final location due to the proximity of private property as well as muggles that can appear suddenly. Please do not attempt this cache during the monthly craft fair held every third Saturday of the month.
Please re-hide exactly as found, and report any damage etc in your log. All feedback welcome.
