Geocache Description:


This cache has been placed by the Department of Conservation as part of Conservation Week (1-8 November) 2015

Turn left outside the Rakiura National Park Visitor Centre and continue along Main Road. Take the right turn at the airstrip turnoff and continue along the road until reaching the signpost marking the start of the Ryan's Creek, Fern Gully, Kaipipi Bay and North Arm tracks.

The track follows an old sawmill track, winding along a stream flanked by beautiful ferns and cutover forest. A clearning and seat at the end of the track provide a pleasant spot to enjoy the birds and forest. Fern Gully was one of the places where residents planned to hide their children in the event of an invasion during the second World War.

Cache container is a glass mason jar and contains a log book and pencil.
