Geocache Description:

This cache begins at the Riversdale Avenue Of Honour.

*** Take Care ***

The main highway is very busy and not suitable to park along.
There is a side road that you can park on to get to the first part of the multi.
Make sure you keep an eye on young children near both roads.

The Avenue of Honour Memorial Oak scheme was dedicated at Riversdale.
This date was chosen by the Riversdale-Waikaia RSA to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the fateful attack towards Bellevue Spur at Passchendaele in 1917 by both battalions of the Otago Regiment, and where five men from the district lost their lives and whose bodies were never found.

You will need to visit the plaques on either side of the main plaque to answer questions to complete the final coordinates.
