Unlabelled food drop on the Arthur Plains

[icefest]

Ran unto an unlabelled food drop in a 20L pail on the Arthur Plains three days ago.

Anyone know who it belongs to?

It's hanging from a steel picket just where the K shortcut track meets Mckay's track.

How long should it be left before it becomes rubbish?

[weeds]

I wonder if there might have been a note inside the container?

There was not.

I checked, hoping that would be the case.

It was there on 27th edit: oops I mean 17th November. I suppose somebody might still be doing a megawalk from the west coast or something...? A note would definitely have been good.

[Tortoise]

Oops. I meant to say 17th November.

[Nuts]

Well, it was rubbish when it went in, technically even if it was labelled.
That said, be careful about removing or even moving these things, just (take co-ords) reporting them is a good idea?

I'd hazard a guess that someone found it nearby but there would likely be other old stashes around there, left with the best, one-off, intentions.

I would be inclined to leave it in place, unreported, until the contents have deteriorated beyond any realistic possibility of use.
