Geocache Description:

A walk with amazing views! Located along Wellington's Southern Walkway - @ the Island Bay end / Oku Reserve area, a 10 min walk or 20 min round-trip. Amazing 360 deg views! Thanks to tony the bald eage for this image


Enjoy great views of Island Bay (the island, fishing boats in the bay, and suburbs); the South Island (Cook Straits, Kaikoura ranges, ferries, shipping and occasionaly dolphins & orcas!!); Wellington Harbour entrance (Barring Heads and the Pencarrow ranges).

Awesome on a fine day and very starry on a fine night - it is probably best to avoid on really bad weather days... as is quite an exposed ridgeway...

Cache - Sept 09 upgraded to Med 400ml systema snaplock cache - suitable for GeoCoins and Medium-sized TBs.

Please ensure cache is well secured where you find it and outa-sight.
