Boulder Beach is famous for the yellow eyed penguin population on this part of the coast. Indeed, it would be unusual to go there and not see evidence of their presence. Look for their slides down to the beach and footprints in the sand where they made a beeline for the incoming tide.
Sometimes it’s possible to see where 2 penguins have been on a collision course, and there has been an altercation of sorts.
This wooden structure, made from driftwood has undoubtedly been shelter for some beach bunnies in past times. Each visit I have made to the area over several years, it appears to have been added to, or at least, maintained but now it has fallen in somewhat
You are looking for a micro cache- a pill bottle within a pill bottle, so you should know what to look for by now</p>
