This continues a series of caches that highlight quarries, current and past, around the greater Dunedin area. The hides are all straightforward and are small containers so BYOP. Please disregard the number in the log and/or container. This was for a final additional cache which has since been archived. Please re-hide carefully.
Without the signs you wouldn't know there was a quarry here! I am unsure of the official name of this quarry. The CO refers to it as Southroads' Henley quarry. Southroads is part of the massive Invercargill-based HW Richardson Group. This quarry is typical of the majority of quarries in New Zealand in that it is not permanently operated and is used only when a nearby job or project requires a source of material. In recent times rock from here was used to reinforce a long section of Taieri River stopbank near Outram.
