Geocache Description:

To find the co-ordinates for the cache you must answer the following 6 questions correctly.
The answers can be found with a bit of research online.
S 43 37.ABC
E 172 42.DEF
The listed co-ordinates will take you within 100 metres of the cache, but you will need to find your way on foot first from the main entrance.
The cache container is big enough for small swaps. When first placed we added a small Path Tag and a Travel Bug, plus assorted trinkets.

A = The number of letters in the Maori name for Diamond Harbour.
B = First digit of the height of Banks Peninsula's highest peak, in metres.
C = Number of rooms in the original Stoddart Cottage.

D = Largest digit from the year Godley House was first built.
E = Number of letters in the first name of the only leprosy patient to die on Quail Island.
F = Number of letters in the name of the bay said to be the abode of a monstrous taniwha named Tuna Tuoro.

The cache is located in an area that can be wind swept, hence the name, but the views are worth holding on to your hats for!

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
