    Dropped Off 2/3/2010 daywalk placed it in Thomson's Barnyard (Otago) South Island, New Zealand - 9,331.91 miles  Visit Log

    This was the home of John Turnbull Thomson, Chief Surveyor of Otago 1856-73 and Surveyor-General of New Zealand 1876-79. From his observatory here he fixed the longitude, and it became the initial point for his survey of Otago and the rest of New Zealand.

    There's another cache in Ranfurly "Would you like to take part in a survey?" GC10E86 which is by a statue of Surveyor Turnbull. He is famous in that area (known as "Thomson's Barnyard") for his names for the streams - all named after farm animals, eg Hogburn, Kyeburn, Wedderburn.

    You would enjoy doing the Central Otago Rail Trail which passes through Ranfurly, or visiting Naseby for the mountain biking and curling!

    Goodness! All the way from Canada so quickly! We picked this up from Taranaki while on holiday and brought it back to Dunedin with us. There's a cache across town which will suit it... look up the history of Mr "Surveyor" Thompson.
