The given co-ordinates take you to the beach at Raumati Beach. The cache is not here so unless you arrive by waka, canoe, kayak, windsurf, surfboard, raft or small boat there is no need to go to this location.
However if you had arrived here several centuries ago you would have noted many trees and birds. These days there are fewer trees and sadly fewer birds.
Many streets and roads even avenues and lanes are named in this area after both indigenous and introduced species of birds and trees.
Solve the crossword puzzle to assist in gaining the necessary co-ordinates to locate the cache
The intersections of the ACROSS and DOWN words on the crossword will help you solve the puzzle below.
For example 3A means 3 ACROSS and 5D means 5 DOWN.
So if (3A,5D) gave you the letter “B” on the crossword the value would be 2 and so on....
A = (9A,6D + 7A,6D) minus (9A,8D + 17A,11D + 17A14D)
B = (17A,19D) minus [( 9A,6D) + (3 times 15A,10D]
C = (17A,18D) minus 6
D = half of (21A,18D + 15A,10D)
E = (12A,10D) minus (12A,3D + 13A,8D)
F = (13A,8D + 17A,11D) minus 1
G = (9A,8D minus 17A,13D) + (4A,2D minus 15A,13D) + 8
R = (17A,11D)
S = (20A,15D) minus five
T = (4A,5D + 13) minus (20A,16D)
V = one quarter of (9A,6D)
W = half of (15A,13D + 9A,5D)
X = ((15A,10D + 9A,8D + 4A,5D) minus (17A,19D + 6)
Y = (20A,15D) minus (15A,13D )minus1
Z = (20A,16D + 9A,6D + 6) minus (17A,19D + 9A,6D) plus 1
Good luck
