Geocache Description:

Location: About 20 km north-east of Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.

The cache is invisible from 5 m.
The terrain can be slightly obstructed in places.


Initial Cache Contents:
  • Logbook only

Directions:

The cache (accuracy 10 m; elevation 22 m) is hidden in a 250 millilitre cylindrical translucent plastic container. You can park within about 5 minutes walk of the cache.

You may get there by following harbour road beside the peninsula for about 29 km from the city centre, and then stopping about 5 m before a power pole on the left of the gradual right-hand curve in the road above Harington Point, that is, about one km before you get to the Royal Albatross Colony on Taiaroa Head (park at S 45°47.025' E 170°43.433'). You may then follow the gravel and grass tracks down the hill to the cache.

After you find the cache or otherwise, you may like to explore the fortifications all around you, some date from before WWI. You may wish to bring a torch to help you explore some of the tunnels, one of them is over 100 m long.

Free Hint: Look down; it's concealed behind a small rock. Don't go into that gorse, you don't need to!
