Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache, so you will not find the cache at the listed co-ordinates. To solve the co-ordinates, you first need to find each of the New Zealand native birds listed below. The unused letters will spell out the co-ordinates of the location of the actual cache.


These are the words that you need to find in the puzzle:

Albatross – Banded Rail – Bellbird – Black Stilt – Dabchick – Fantail – Kakapo – Kakariki – Kea – Kiwi – Kokako – Kotare – Kotuku – Morepork – Pukeko – Saddleback – Takahe – Weka – Whio - Yellowhead

When you have found the co-ordinates, use the Geo Checker to check your solution.

Suggestion for when walking in to GZ:
From time to time the shelter belt is trimmed, leaving debris along part of the walking track ... so the wearing of jandals is probably not a good idea.

First to find honours went to ... KIWIMIKEBOP.
