Geocache Description:

Located on a very pleasant walk in Pottery Hills in the foothills of Mount wellington at Lenah Valley.

The walk to the cache can be done as a circuit, passing through a variety of habitat. This cache is not far along the bush track after leaving the road and others are further along the route.

A small car park capable of holding about 3 cars is just before the barrier at the end of the bitumen in pottery Road and just beyond the barrier is another parking location. This barrier is normally unlocked; in fact it has never been seen locked..

Walk along the gravel road for 300 metres until reaching a bend (waypoint J1) where a walking track will be observed heading up on the left and marked by two white posts. Follow this to J2 and on to each of the listed waypoints which are also shown in the map below.

Note that towards the northern end of the walk a fence and gate is reached and once through the gate the vehicle track joins one coming from Mcrobies Gully  and you can continue to Knocklofty or turn back as the  left branch is now marked as no public access.

The distance of the walk is about 5k.

For this cache you need to leave the track and walk uphill to the coordinates. Since placing it someone has put a mattock in the hollow of a nearby tree, and our assumption is that it has been hidden there for future use on modifying the track.
