Geocache Description:

A traditional cache in one of the oldest bush reserves on the North Shore.

Kauri Glen has been a reserve since 1907. Although the forest has been milled for kauri, some large trees of 200 to 300 years in age remain. The main entrance is through Kauri Glen Road, beside the Northcote College gymnasium.


The track begins as a wide walkwayway amongst tall kanuka. This opens out to a bluff overlooking the dense growth in the valley floor surrounded by tall kauri. A track to the left takes you to a pretty waterfall and ZorkV's 'Bush Waterfall' cache, GC2NA7P. The main loop track crosses the stream and follows the northern ridge. On descending to the valley floor at the eastern end of the reserve the track passes through taraire forest before following the southern ridge back to the main entrance.

This cache is a 200ml sistema. It is hidden in the picturesque valley where many little bridges criss-cross the stream. Down in the mature bush of this part of the walkway the only sounds are those of the birds and the stream - it is easy to forget you are still in the heart of the city. GPS reception is not great here so we have given a fairly specific hint. The undergrowth is sparse here, but please tread carefully.
