Geocache Description:


Opawe Road is the site of one of Charles Wildbore’s most iconic photographics, of men carting out railway sleepers, circa 1904, after cutting them from the felled totara that were once abundant throughout the Pohangina Valley. Surrounding them are the skeletons of incinerated forest trees, once alive with birdlife. To find the cache, you just need to find the approximate location from which Wildbore took this photograph (without climbing the fence!).

To see a present-day photograph of this view, see:
