“Wine” Not (Auckland) GC207J6

** Shifted down the road a little to avoid the high muggle on look! **

A great little spot in Whitford nestled between the local golf club and a stunning winery plantation.

The location is only slightly off the beaten track, it’s one of the roads you often whiz by without venturing down hence the placement of the cache. Take a minute to enjoy the peace and quiet while you re-group off to your next mission.

Nano tucked away…

It’s interesting discovering the names of the numerous bridges, This cache located near Tourist bridge. Not so much a tourist attraction, but nice little stop in the middle of some amazing countryside. Great for a sunny Sunday afternoon drive.

Water monitoring station nearby shows how high the water level gets!

Hope you enjoy the spot and journey to it.

Nano stop near river

The reward for stopping in this spot (no, not the local winery ;) is the picture postcard view over the river below, on a nice summers day it’s a real treat so take a minute to enjoy.

You don’t need to cross the barrier and please be aware that this is open road territory so keep your wits about you.
