Geocache Description:


Another outright devious and totally unpredictable two-stage puzzle cache hidden somewhere in Auckland. You will need an obscure tool to assist you to solve this puzzle, most homes should have at least one lying around somewhere.

The posted co-ordinates are bogus - Please DON'T go there.

To determine the final cache co-ordinates, listen to this MP3 file, and decode its contents. This MP3 file should be playable on most Windows based machines running Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. File length 53sec.

WARNING: You are about to download an audio file in order to obtain additional information required to solve this puzzle. As the cache owner, I advise that this file is safe to download although the file needed to complete this geocache has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the Geocache Reviewer for possible malicious content. As a result, you are downloading this file at your own risk.

At the time of publishing, the cache contained a logbook, pen, stash note and usual trade items. Stealth required. Beware of muggles on nice days, please rehide well.
