Geocache Description:


Description

This cache is on the way to the School Road Lookout. Once at the lookout you will have stunning views to Waitangi, across Motumairie (one of the islands off Paihia) to Russell then over the Russell Peninsula to Cape Brett and Ipipiri, the eastern Bay of Islands.

If you want to walk for a further two hours, carry on along the Oromahoe Traverse, which joins the Paihia School Road Track.

Just a short stroll along Oromahoe Road to your right will take you to the Opua Kauri Walk, an easy walk through kauri trees.

10,000 Steps Northland: This track equates to about 2,000 steps. 

Getting there

You can start the Paihia School Road Track at the far end of School Road, Paihia. The track starts 700 metres from the Paihia township.
