The cache has been placed in the Pigeon Valley Park. You will be looking for a small lock nlock container which is big enough for Travel Bugs, coins and some swag.
The park is open between 07h30 and 16h00 each day. Bring along a picnic and a pair of binoculars to do some birding. No dogs are allowed in the park.
Pigeon Valley is a Natural Heritage Park in Durban, South Africa. It was established to provide protection for the Natal White Stinkwood and other forest giants of the coastalclimax forest.[1] Another rare tree that occurs here is Oxyanthus pyriformis which is endemic to the Durban area and to Ongoye Forest. Pigeon Valley was developed as a Nature Reserve in 1989 and is about 10ha in extent.
