The container is a 2.2 litre tupperware type, camo painted and
is hidden in a rock field.
When established the cache contained:
- a mouse trap
- a small ball
- packet of water bombs
- audio cassette tape
- stash bags
After visting the cache be sure to track 210 metres east, just
over the hill, to visit the nearby old gun emplacements at S43
34.994 E172 48.101. There are more old gun emplacements 775 metres
SE from the cache at S43 35.224 E172 48.394.
Below the cache are the last remaining squatters baches that
were built into caves in the coastline. The earliest of the baches
dated back to the 1890's. Some of the baches were fitted out in
truly remarkable style, complete with water supply, fireplace, and
bunks. One, perhaps the most impressive, was "The Hermitage" with a
main cave measuring 20m x 8m x 4m high. This cave was furnished
with material from the 1906 exhibition and even included a piano.
Eventually however, poor health standards forced the abandonment
and removal of some baches over the past few decades. It is
currently disputed as to whether the current baches will be allowed
to remain.
