Geocache Description:

The fifth cache in The Howl Heist Series

A Hunter and his Dog on a Boat by Monet


Art thieves have broken into the Auckland Art Museum and stolen the famous doggy artwork “THE HOWL”. It is hidden somewhere in Auckland. Can you find it?

Estimated to be worth well in excess of $10 million dollars there will be a handsome reward for whoever recovers this lost work of art.


To locate the missing artwork you will need to visit the site of 10 famous artworks featuring dogs. Inside the lid of each artwork you will find a number. Match the number to the corresponding letter below to get the coordinates for “The Howl” and to locate the missing artwork.


This artwork is called A Hunter and his Dog on a Boat by Claude Monet.


Painted in 1858, it is one of the caricatures that Claude Monet did at Le Havre when he was young.


When you find this artwork cache there will be a letter and a number on a sticker under the lid. You will need this to be able to find The Howl Heist final cache. Please record the number for your own purposes, but do not remove it! The container is heavily alarmed and guarded and the art police will be onto you if you do! At the time of theft the artwork was then hidden in a small plastic box equipped with a few trinkets and all things necessary for the practising forging signatures on the bottom of the artwork, BYOP


Remember to return the cache to the exact location you found it and enjoy a few of the local caches whilst your in the area.
