Geocache Description:

This is a virtual cache, there is no container at the above coordinates.

Location: About 20 km north-west of Riverton, Southland, New Zealand.

You would have to be blind not to see it.
A small amount of wading and climbing is involved.


This virtual cache (Elevation 5 m) is around 250 metres west of the car park (the coordinates of the car park are those for the cache above; Elevation 2 m). Note: you can only get to the island at low tide, so time your visit carefully.

To get there, follow State Highway 99 to the sign posted turn off (at about S 46°18.021' E 167°44.319'), it's near Orepuki, now head west for about 1 km to the car park. There is a picnic area (with toilets) and camping is allowed (for free). When I was a kid I spent quite a bit of time there, it was fun then, but watch out for the cold, wet, and windy conditions that sometimes prevail along this part of the southern coast ;).
