Geocache Description:

It was time to place a cache to bring you back to the roots of Geocaching and spend less time in front of a PC solving the cache......

No need to cross fence into private land!! The home owners around the Booth knows about the cache.

The Tollhouse appears to have been originally located at 'Waihola Gorge' where it stood for around ten years housing the toll keeper who collected the tolls from the passing traffic on this main route between Dunedin and Central Otago. The charges were complex and depended on factors such as the kind of wheeled vehicle, the number of harnessed animals, the number of stock and the job of the individual traveller. In 1876, the Bruce County Council (which took over the administration of roading following the abolition of the Provincial Government) shifted the building to nearby Clarendon where it performed additional services as a Post Office. In Bruce County the toll system was abolished in the 1880s and the Tollhouse was bought by local farmer and Otago businessman Henry Driver and shifted to Helensbrook, where it remains today.

The house has been renovated and a new information sign erected.
