Geocache Description:


The cache site is a short drive up a valley. You can do this as a park and grab or drive the 2-3km further up the road to see the rest of the valley.

The cache is a 200ml camoed container. Please ensure the items hiding it and holding it in place are replaced before you leave.

Thanks to the Pete Belt ("Beltfamily") for the following:

"The barn is actually a tobacco drying kiln that is only a small part of a much larger cobb tobacco drying and processing shed that used to be here. The property is owned and occupied by the Green family who have lived there for at least three generations (counting their kiddies). Inside their home are photographs of the "barn" complete with the now-missing shed. The current modern shed was allowed to be built because the old cobb one was beyond repair and it shelters the remainder from the worst of the weather. The kiln is a protected building, and repairs to preserve the remaining portion are carefully "negotiated" with the Historic Places Trust. As usual, it's about who pays how much, but also what is the best way to preserve and/or restore."

Pete is happy to introduce people to the Green family who are the owners.
