Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Tannock Glen at the end of Torridon Street, Opoho, Dunedin.

You are looking for a 1 litre square plastic container. It’s been painted black with geo-cache written in green on the lid.

The cache is hidden in Tannock Glen, one of the local Rhododendron gardens in Dunedin. It can be reached without leaving the path - so please stick to the trails. If you leave the path you'll leave footprints for others to follow, and worse, you'll disturb the really cool plants growing in the area.

The original contents of the cache are some goodies the troll acquired from passers by including:
SpaceMac-"3" plastic toy
Kitty stickers
Clockwork mouse toy
Log book + pen
KiwiPav travel bug

Once you find the cache, look downhill and you'll notice the most bizarre plant. If you happen to know the species of this thing, please post it in your log.
