Look up to the Mighty Gum (Coromandel) Multi-Cache
peteznshellz: We have had to move the cache 3 times in this reserve and the last spot , the stile, (our favourite) we think was removed as an unsafe structure by local council. It was fun while it lasted!

An offset multi-cache with two small puzzles to complete to get to a nice view for the less intrepid.
Step 1 - Great, you are at the above co-ords. You might have a drink now you're here.
Step 2 - To calculate South co-ord for Step 2 - multiply the number of bubbles in the first circle at the base of this well known structure by 6, then subtract from original South co-ord .
To calculate East co-ord for step 2 – multiply the number of bubbles on the structure by 5, then add to the original East co-ord.
If you are stuck, the cache name says it all.
Step 3 - Climbing fences, not recommended
But use that stile to rest a while
Or tie shoelaces and search underplaces. (Remember this is offset.)
This reserve has been a feature since 1903 and the oddly composed memorial to the first New Zealand soldier to die in the South African combat, was once a fountain.
Also of interest is the Aleppo Pine, planted in 1957. Believed to be one of only two trees in New Zealand that were propagated from the first seed of an Australian progeny, of The Lone Pine in Gallipoli. The other was planted at the golf course.
Bring your own pen.
PLEEEASE REPLACE CAREFULLY- tail out. This log only cache needs to be replaced firmly in the hole for maximum concealment. High muggle area so maximum stealth may be required!
