Monarch View (Otago) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

mjbnz: This one's had a good run, but it was never a great hide, and gets muggled relatively regularly.

Many thanks to all those that have visited and enjoyed the location.

Geocache Description:

A cache hidden near the road on the way to Aramoana from Port Chalmers.

Whilst driving past, I decided this would be a fairly neat spot for a quick cache. One you'll have to get out of the car for, and climb a little. I liked the look of the smaller friend about 30-40 metres to the north, but it's a bit barren on hiding places...

I'd recommend parking in the small spot on the harbour side of the road just to the north of the hill, and walk back to the SW point of the hill, and climb from there.

It's named Monarch View because you'll get a nice view of the Monarch as it passes, like it was as I placed the cache (And any other boats in the harbour channel for that fact).

You're looking for a 400ml camo-painted snaplock container, hidden at about waist height and invisible from 0m. When placed, it contained:

  • Log book + pen
  • 2 die.
  • Vortex like throwing toy.
  • Matchbox car
  • Teddy bear keyring


Please take special care to replace the cache so it's well hidden - next time it's muggled I probably won't replace it.
Warning: In KiwiChris' words, the hint is so explicit, it would be rated R18.
