Mihiwaka Tunnel and Station (Otago)

A replacement for the original Mihiwaka cache (GCME07) a little further up the road. It is now archived due to concerns about new roads and tracks being cut in up there.
Mihiwaka Station Rd leaves Purakaunui Rd at the school (well signposted). It is not the most well maintained gravel road around but is quite OK with care.
The cache is where the old Mihiwaka Railway Station was located (buildings long since removed although a concrete pad is still visible). Up until the 1970s locals would commute to and from work in Dunedin on trains that ran between Dunedin and Palmerston in the morning and late afternoon. The Mihiwaka tunnel is visible from this spot.
The cache is nowhere near the tracks. There is a good fence and a locked gate to keep you well away from the tracks.
The cache is a one litre unpainted snaplock container. It is the former container and logbook of the original cache.
