Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Welcome to the land of the carrot – the special area where these crops are grown for much of New Zealand. This cache brings you to a special rest area celebrating the mighty carrot. The main exhibit started life as a prop in a TV advertisement for a finance company (how many remember that far back)?

The area can be well muggle infested on fine days, so you will need to be a little cunning with your search and replacement. The placement is intentionally away from the statue so you can search without too much tourist attention, but within the carrot themed area.

Before you return the cache, please either read the hint, or look at the diagram on the laminated card in the box, and put it back where described.  This cache is very vulnerable if left in view of the public, in must be well tucked back where it belongs (not necessarily where you find it!)

This cache, (like most of Radionut50’s hides) is NOT meant to be hard to find – so logs saying ‘easy find’ are pretty meaningless.

The reason for this hide is to introduce you to this unique site in our country, so logs commenting on your experience are very welcome. You are also invited to crack the hint as you arrive, to reduce the chance of a prolonged search compromising the hide in this very public place.
