Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the top of Bluff Lookout overlooking the Port of Napier and Hawkes Bay.

The cache is located within 30cm of a plaque dedicated to the occupation of the '77 Battery 10 Coast Regiment N.Z.A.' The details on the plaque read;


1942 1952

During World War 2 this lookout was
Occupied by, 77 Battery 10 Coast
Regiment N.Z.A. The battery manned by
Two 6 inch Mark 7 Guns in concrete
Emplacements above The Port of Napier.
The gunners barracks were located
behind the battery. This plaque records
the army presence on this site.

The cache is a clear small cylinder with a log only a pen is required to sign the log as its rather small. Please ensure you replace the cache so it is well hidden. A stealthy retrieval may be needed due to the probable event that muggles may be lurking. Please check out the Bluff Hill Domain while in the area. Feel free to take photos of the surrounding horizon and the Port of Napier below.

Congratulations to boxhill for the FTF.
