This cache has been archived.

Curglaff: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Mutli cache in a local park, with play grounds near by.

This is a replacement cache with permission of the previous owner. On 22 November 1880, Judge F.D. Fenton met with 47 Maori leaders to discuss a proposal supporting the creation of a township. Contained within the agreement was a clause setting aside thermal springs "Hei oranga mo nga iwi katoa o te Ao" - for the benefit of the people of the world. The area, formerly known as the Sanatorium Reserve, is today named Government Gardens.

This is a multi. The coordinates given lead you to the decimal portion of the final coordinates of the cache. The foundations are for a Sanatorium, which was started in the early part of the 20th century, but was never finished due to a world wide depression and the decline of T.B.
At the above coodinates you'l find a clue to solve this (the final cache location):
S 38 08.XYZ
E 176 15.XYZ
