Cache is not at the above coordinates, but go there, you will find something!

David Goldie gifted the area now known as Goldie's Bush when he sadly died in 1926. This information is widely known.

But little is known about a small treasure chest that was placed in this area in the summer of 2007. The location of this box is a mystery to most people, except a hard core of treasure hunters that are willing to take on the challenge. Does that sound like you?

We hope you enjoy the first puzzle we have placed in New Zealand.

Update 1 March 2008

We have had a few enquires from out of town cachers on how to do this one. To make it a little easier for these cachers to work out we have uploaded a picture of the object that you will find at the above location. Feel free to click on the picture to expand it.
