Geocache Description:


When I was first married in 1972 we lived near Oratia .....And my 3 eldest kids began school at Oratia .

So I still have lots of memories and a strong affinity with the area ,,,,Therefore I'm keen to see some more geocaches here .

The beautiful artwork on the Green Electrical box reminded me of the school centenary celebrations back in 1882..

I rember a song called  " Oratia My Valley " composed and sung by Rude Sunde  at the time ......Somewhere I will have a record of it.

I decided not to spoil the artwork by putting a cache on or nearby the box...but  please do admire it! 

The cache is near a structure with a seat insde ! But the cache is not on or in this structure but a few steps to the right ! ( Road behind you )

Once you have found it you can sit and sign however ! 

 BYOP / no room for swaps .
