This geocache is placed on the Whakanui Track on a section of track where it levels out after a steady and steep uphill climb. A chance to catch your breath or relax and take in the grandeur of the native bush. The cache is placed beside a huge specimen of a black beech adjacent to the track. Has to be one of the largest black beech trees I have ever seen. Also in the area nearby are some rather large rimu, kamahi, hinau and hard beech. The track is well formed and marked so easy to follow. For more details about this track see the excellent cache page description by agcnz for GC2XNTQ.
