Dinosaurs extinct!? If you believed everything any old fool tells
you then you would still be thinking pigs can't fly!
Well for all those sceptics amongst you we can at least put this
one to rest, confirming all those conspiracy theories as fact, that
there is indeed dinosaurs... not only that.... but living in New
Zealand!
Now the secret is out it's your chance to witness for yourself
their natural habitat before the governments/tourist industry seal
it off or commercialise it to death.
Sure we could have taken photos, but who would have believed them?
It's something that you have to see for yourself!
Obviously we did not want to disturb them too much but we did
manage to get close enough to one to throw a travel bug around it's
neck. They are naturally inquisitive and this one would love to be
taken and travel around NZ (popping back frequently to the island
to tell of it's adventures. (visit link) )
So where is this island? how do we get there? is it
dangerous?
You won't need a boat to get there, just a knowledge of the tides.
There are many routes there... each with it's own difficulties.
Although it's possible (just) to return with no mud on your feet...
I wouldn't go wearing my Sunday best shoes for this trek.
The island is a great place to explore, but please be careful at
the top when walking near the edge. If you want to explore fully,
we advise walking around the foreshore with your GPSr leaving a
trail so when you explore at the top you can check your location
(and that of the edge 
); The walk around is great for kids to
explore (and adults :)
The vegetation on the island is quite dense but the dinosaurs have
left a few well-trodden trails for you to follow. The most direct
route is not the easiest and following a longer route may be easier
for smaller geocachers.
One final note and advice for you to take with you; The dinosaurs
like dark and shady places, please try to open the cache in a dark
place so as not to disturb them 
Good luck!

quite sure."
