Geocache Description:

A Cache on the Okura Bush Walkway.

2.5 Miles (4km) in, 2.5 miles (4km) back, hence the name 5 Miles Out.

The Walkway runs for roughly 6 miles (9 km's) from the northern side of the Okura River up to Stillwater. To reach the cache you can start from either end, though I suspect starting from Okura river may be a slightly shorter route.

The track is fairly well maitained, but could be muddy after heavy rain.

Cache is a ammo can with no camo applied. Contains neat swaps(@ time of placement), logbook, pencil, sharpner and stash note.

Cache is not far off a small side track. After finding the cache maybe go for a dip at the beach about 200 meters north of the cache. I had an EPE of 5m (thats meters, not miles)

It really is a nice stroll, enjoy.
