Geocache Description:

Part of Central Otago's history, this landmark is always worth exploring

Accuracy: 6m.

This cache is remembered for a couple of reasons. First and foremost it remembers part of the history of this area. Something not to be missed. Secondly, it replaces Forgotten Land Mark. A cache that vanished before its first find. To quote directly from that cache:
The town of Ophir (S 45° 6.605 E 169° 36.214) is definitely worth visiting if you're passing through the region. Awesome old buildings and of course the main feature at this cache site.

The town also holds the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded in mainland New Zealand (minus 21.6 degrees C still air temperature (in 1995 if I recall correctly).

Note that (even though it is still in active use) the feature is a registered Historic Place. Please treat it and its surrounds respectfully.

Please take care near the cache as there is a 10m drop to the river close by.
Thanks for history refresher Moneydork!
