This multi-cache is based on part of the “Papanui Heritage Trail” to mark World Heritage Day June 2006
It is highly recommended that you walk the route to the cache. It will take about 1 hour at a leisurely walking pace. The route is suitable for cycling and very little walking if going by car.
At each of the following waypoints information must be gathered to complete the coordinates for the cache.
1. S 43° 29.650 E 172° 36.443 The Library
