This cache has been archived.

Curglaff: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is another cache in the "Where's the?" series.

today we are in Smale's Farm.... But where are the animals?

The cache is a Berocca tube with log book, and a few small micro swappables, those who are vertically challenged may need to bring a taller friend..... BYOP

Stealth+++ required as is a high muggle area & the site security office is very close.... good luck


Being an industrial park you will feel the need to pull the Wool over the eyes of the many workers in their office blocks or you may feel a little Sheepish if discovered... if you log a DNF don't feel too baaaad

From Wikipedia the definition of a farm is...A farm is an area of land, including various structures, devoted primarily to the practice of producing and managing food (produce, grains, or livestock), fibres and, increasingly, fuel. It is the basic production facility in food production.[1] Farms may be owned and operated by a single individual, family, community, corporation or a company. A farm can be a holding of any size from a fraction of a hectare to several thousand hectares

I don't think the office workers would ejoy being called livestock

The Smales family are a North Shore Icon having owned or still own a large tract of land in this area starting with a transport business before aquiring the quarry next to Lake Pupuke...
