status quo: As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Just a restful little cache for the urban hunter.

As with most urban caches, STEALTH is important!

The Arthur St park also had a short lifespan for it's previous role: Dunedin's first cemetery. The obelisk lists the names of those known to be interred here. The first burial was that of James Campbell in 1846. The cemetery was closed by 1865 as the city had outgrown it.

The area has also been home to military barracks, a meteorological station, and a lunatic asylum. The nearby Arthur St school (formally Middle District school), on part of the old site to the north, has been here since 1877.
