Geocache Description:


Slope Point is the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. Slope Point lies just south of the small settlements of Waikawa and Haldane, near the southwestern edge of the Catlins and Toetoes Bay and 70 km (40 mi) east of Invercargill.

.

The land around Slope Point is used for sheep farming with no houses anywhere nearby. Eroded cliffs drop down to the sea below. An AA signpost there shows the distance to the Equator and the South Pole, and a small lighthouse stands on farmland. There is no road to Slope Point; it must be reached by a 20 minute walk.There is no public access during the lambing season (September – October).

To log this cache, Enjoy the views!! No need to send me any message !! Please upload a photo of you(doesn't have to be your face), and the sign!

I’d love to know how the weather was on your day to visit… Yes I know it's easy to armchair log, so please don't!!!

There was a virtual placed here in 2001, and archived in 2004 (thanks rediguana) so 15 years later, it was decided it was past time to resurrect another virtual!!
