Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series that have been placed for the scout groups and the school camp groups who stay nearby at the Waiora Scout Camp.  There are a total of 11 geocaches that can be found on the McRaes Weir Circuit Track as well as the Whare Park (GCPEZT) cache at the carpark.


The McRaes Weir Circuit Track is a 2 – 2 ½ hour return track, the track is classified as hard but that seems a bit extreme, medium would be more appropriate.  Follow the red weir symbol on the track signs. Follow the road to the swing bridge and then continue up the Racemans Track to the McRaes Weir Track. Then travel beside the water-race and pipeline to the McRaes Stream and weir.  Cross over this stream, pass an old hut, a tunnel and continue beside the water-race to a sign that takes you back to the swing bridge.

The main Scout Award Scheme is in six parts: Scout Badge, Bronze Scout Award, Silver Scout Award, Gold Scout Award, Chief Scout Award and The Venturer Badge. There are also a wide range of Personal Challenge Badges which may be completed as part of the main awards. There are over 50 Personal Challenge Badges to choose from including Geocaching. A part of the Geocaching PB Challenge is to discuss with your leader why you should never bury a cache and also how to use proper geocaching etiquette when hiding or seeking a cache, and how to properly hide, post, maintain, and dismantle a geocache.

This is an easy one to start. The cache is a black snaplock container hidden at ground level and it should be easy to find. Please ensure it is hidden out of sight and use stealth if there are others in the area.
