Geocache Description:




This cache is situated at the confluence of an unnamed stream that descends from Pig Flats up on the ridgeline and the Atiwhakatu Stream. There are some very stunning vantage points that provide an idyllic insight into the area surround, if you are willing to climb up on top of some very large boulders. Looking towards the confluence from the bridge over Pig Flat stream, you can observe a few deep azure-blue pools of water that have been formed by the merging of waters from both streams.

This cache is sited on the track between Holdsworth Lodge at the carpark, and Atiwhakatu Hut at the base of Holdsworth/Jumbo. This is an easy day walk for a tramper or hiker, and shouldn’t take much longer than 2 hours to reach the hut. It’s slightly uphill, but because it follows the course of the river, the elevation changes are constricted to climbs over recent slips. We’ve added these three caches along the main trail to bring more people into the area, and to highlight the beautiful scenery that is tucked in this valley, straddling the Atiwhakatu Stream.

The cache is a 1L translucent Sistema, which when placed contained a logbook, swag, geocaching notice, and a small prize for the FTF.
