Geocache Description:

The Tolaga Bay Wharf.


It takes 15 minutes to walk to the end of New Zealand's longest
wharf.

It has been repaired several times and is an icon of the former
goods transfer from boats to road. At 660 metres in length, this is
no ordinary pier. It is one of the longest wharfs in the Southern
Hemisphere.






Locals love the wharf because it's part of Eastland history, and
because it's a most excellent place to catch a fish.

The opening of Tolaga Bay Wharf in 1929 made it possible for large
coastal trading ships to load and offload goods. However, even as
the Tolaga Bay wharf opened, improved roading and motor vehicles
had begun to compete with coastal shipping. It was ironic that much
of the cargo that passed over the wharf was road-making material,
used to construct the road through to Gisborne, soon providing an
alternate means of transport.

The cache is micro container. You need to take your own pencil and
write small.

Stealth is required especially when fishing people are around. At
times it is a high muggle area. Please replace the micro container
exactly how you found it.

THIS CACHE WAS A REPLACEMENT for the first on the wharf called Tolaga Wharf, but now it is a daughter of the first one. And thank you to Jess and Caro for renewing it.
