Geocache Description:

Out on an evenings caching - we were surprised to find a nice little rest area devoid of any caches!

he Miranui flaxmill, located in the Makerua swamp just north of the Horowhenua town of Shannon, was once New Zealand’s largest flaxmill. The mill operated from 1907 to 1933, and had 19 mills, operating 42 flax-stripping machines and employing more than 700 workers during the height of the flax industry in 1916-17.

The roading through this are is now vastly improved.  This section of State Highway 57 is also known as Makerua Road.

The cache is a brown pill bottle - approximately 100ml.  Contains only a log and 1 or 2 small trinkets.  PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PEN!
