Geocache Description:

Cache is located at Greenpoint Domain walkway on the way to Bluff.

A well graded walking track and boardwalk follows the shoreline to Greenpoint providing panoramic views across bluff harbour and highlighting features of natural and historic interest. At low tide it is possible to walk along the beach but use good footwear as the rocks are sharp and brittle.


Carpark off the busy road provides one rubbish bin but no toilet, the nearest facilities are in Bluff. This cache is a 500ml round screwtop container painted black. When hidden it contained various trading items, log book, and pencil.

Hide is anchored with an old Shacklock Orion stove ring to keep lid from being dislodged. Please leave cache hidden and intact from curious eyes.


It is not necessary to get close to the railway tracks. Further along the walkway is the railway level crossing, it is protected by wooden fencing remembering to look both ways when crossing as trains ply the main trunk line daily and keep young cachers close at hand. Trains can be visible for 100mt so keep young children closer at hand and do not forget to wave at the driver as they go past.

Update July 2024
Recent changes to the access to cache have improved the terrain from the main track. Freshest photo provided has confirm the GZ is still intact but may be buried in overburden of gravel Considering the Homeschool Mom, she had found the several years ago on her old account when John owned the cache. Disappointing for the first two DNF's in this cache's long 18 years life. Site unseen, the post and flax are still there. New Attributes apply, read the page.
