About This Cache:

CANZ West Coast will take you on a journey through the heart of the Southern Alps. It is around 1 hour from Greymouth, and 2 hours from Christchurch. It was placed in winter when there was 2-3 feet of snow on the ground - so it isn't too far from the carpark. Just make sure to keep it well protected from muggles and the Kea!

2013-11-13: The cache was moved around 80m to reduce incidence of tracking and to protect the fauna. It is now accessible from the track - you do not have to leave the track to find the cache. Please rehide as found.

You are encouraged to include pictures with your log (just no spoilers).
