Geocache Description:

A micro size cache in a main street that should not pose too many problems finding the location. Retrieving the cache will be another matter. This is muggle country, and they can appear at all times of the day, and it is likely that you could be observed from windows on both sides of the street. Extreme stealth will be required if attempted during busy periods. Please do not attempt if muggles are present.


Welcome to Main Street - Lower Stuart.

Stuart Street is one of the main streets of Dunedin, New Zealand. As with many of Dunedin's streets, it is named after a main street in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Stuart Street runs orthogonally to the city's main business district of George and Princes Streets, meeting them at The Octagon, the city's centre, where it is briefly interrupted by the Octagon itself. This divides Stuart Street into two separate streets, Upper Stuart Street and Lower Stuart Street.

Lower Stuart Street

Lower Stuart Street, unlike Upper Stuart Street, is flat. It is one of Dunedin's more historic precincts. Within the heart of the CBD, it contains a large number of shops and cafes, and also, at its eastern end, several of Dunedin's more notable buildings. These include the Dunedin Law Courts and the Allied Press building (home of the Otago Daily Times newspaper). The street is dominated by the Dunedin Railway Station, which sits in Anzac Square at the foot of the street.

Law Courts

Government architect John Campbell designed this impressive court building about 1899. It has four court rooms, including the lavishly decorated High Court, and also houses the Law Society office and library. The statue of Justice, minus her blindfold, is recessed in the tower over the main entrance.
