Geocache Description:

A simple multi on the way to a few other caches along Point Elizabeth Track in Cobden.

A Multi cache gathering information from the signs of New Zealand natives that can be found on the Point Elizabeth Walkway. The Walkway can start from either Cobden or Rapahoe but this cache was intended to start at the Cobden side and work your way in. Gathering the required information should add no more than 10 mins to your trip to the point.
Coords start at the Point Elizabeth Sign (Cobden Side) and follow the track towards the point. GPS reception wont be that great under the trees but the signs are clearly visible.
