This area of this stream, named Wai Tahurangi / Avondale Stream was an important Canoe Portage for Maori and early European settlers .
The isthmus is the shortest point between the Waitemata and Manukau Harbours...
The geocache may be accessed from Portage Rd ; I parked near the playground ...and walked across to the track at the side of the playing fields at Tiakina / Sister Rene Shadbolt Park.....
Otherwise approach from Kinross St end of the path.
The cache is a black taped tube ....under a few hunks of concrete !
Just a few steps from the stream side of the path. Please be stealthy ...as people often walk or run along here .
You only need to move one ..
