Geocache Description:


Tucked snugly in the gnarled limbs of one of Cornwall Park’s mighty pōhutukawa trees, this cache awaits your visit.

Cornwall Park is a cherished green space in the heart of Auckland, known for its rolling fields, ancient trees, and peaceful flocks of sheep and cattle that graze freely. Among its botanical treasures are the majestic pōhutukawa trees—native to Aotearoa and called the New Zealand Christmas tree for their vibrant crimson blooms in summer. Traditionally, Māori used pōhutukawa wood for tools and carvings, and its presence near coastal cliffs is steeped in legend as a guardian of the spirit’s journey.

 

Please tread lightly, honour the calm spirit of the park, and keep your search discreet—this area is popular with walkers, joggers, and the occasional curious cow.

Bring your own pen, sign the logbook, and return the cache just as snugly as you found it.
