Geocache Description:

A smiple cache in Matai Bay. Be wary of the tides as you can walk there at low tide but you will be wading there at high tide!


We wanted to place the cache on the rock furtherest from the shore but saw that some birds were nesting there, also then not everyone would be able to get to this cache. The cache itself is made with some local camoflauge that we put together while on the beach. Please be gentle with it and replace as found, if not better - cover it with some twigs or something if you can. You will need stealth to grab the cache at some times of the year, and at others you won't have a problem making the find. The rocks can be sharp on bare feet so take it easy! 

You are looking for a camoflagued mint tin.
