Geocache Description:

This landmark bridge deserves a cache!!!

Pretty much a park and grab cache.

In the interest of safety I strongly recommend that you park at the parking waypoint.

This is NOT a dangerous place to be but, as always, keep a close eye on your children.

This 578ft (176.174 m) long four-arch bridge over the Clutha River was built more than a hundred years ago to replace a punt that was originally used to cross the river. All materials were specially imported from England and assembled in New Zealand.

Local residents celebrated the opening of the bridge in January 1899, but next day found the bridge was closed by order of the Prime Minister, Richard Seddon, until he officially opened it in February.

You are looking for a 35mm type container covered over with black masking tape.

Please BYOP
