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 Angling.

A part of the Angling PB Challenge is to go fishing on at least four occasions and keep a log of the places you went, the weather and how many fish you caught. This cache is located near the Silverstream which is know for its great fishing.

The cache is a green painted sistema container located just off the track. Accuracy is within +/- 5 meters due to the tree coverage. Please ensure it is replaced carefully.
