In the Hinemaiaia River valley.
Near the Himemaiaia Power Station.
Water flows from the Hinemaiaia intake structure, with its gate and intake screen, through 360-metres of concrete conduit, 2.3-metres in diameter, and a further 168-metres of steel penstock to the Power Station which houses a horizontal Francis turbine driving a 1350kW induction generator.
The site is 3 KM from state highway one on a metal road. The road provides access for fishermen and station maintenance crews.
The Cache is a small plastic pill bottle, containing a log book and pencil. Bring your own pen just in case.
Take care near the river as water levels can rise quickly if the station starts up.
Be careful with children near the river.
This cache can be accessed from the tracks, and you do not need to climb down banks or climb fences.
