Geocache Description:

This is a quick excursion from the main road in an area that used to be a whole lot busier. Allow about 30-40 minutes from parking spot to complete this multi-cache on foot.

Park at:
S 41 12.355
E 173 27.922

Then make your way to the first waypoint:
S 41 12.489
E 173 28.014

At waypoint 1 look for the geodetic bench mark and note its number. It is "No. NC AB". Substitute A & B below for position of waypoint 2:
S 41 1A.BAB
E 173 AB.B31

At waypoint 2 look for the letters and numbers written in concrete. They look like this...

ABCD
EFG-HIJ-KL

Substitute them below to get the co-ordinates of the final cache hiding place.

S 41 AF.JC(I+J)
E 173 2(I+J).(K+L)CF

Cache is a 0.75L tupperware type container painted black. It originally contained a log book, pencil and sharpener, and a few 'creatures' to swap.
