Wellington’s Old Shoreline Trail (Wellington) Multi-Cache
Wellington’s Old Shoreline Trail (Wellington)

This 14 stage multi will take you from the site of a Victorian ‘destructor’ to a modern Marea in Thorndon. It follows the trail of Shoreline 1840 plaques set into the footpaths around the Wellington CBD.
It will take about 90 minutes to get to the last of the waypoints, but the multi is located just a wee way away near a historic part of Thordon.
The trail is based on a publication from the Wellington City Council – Old Shoreline Heritage Trail which can be found on their website: (visit link)
Although this document isn’t necessary for this multi-cache it does feature buildings and characters who influenced the creation the bones of the city that has blossomed into the busy bustling capital it is today.
Please note that the co-ords here are what I got when I visited the trail.
The accuracy got worse the closer to the built up areas the plaques were, however even at 20m radius, the plaques should be able to be seen. I added the approximate accuracy at each waypoint to give an idea of what to expect.
The questions are easily answered from the plaques.
The final is at:
S 4A BC.DEF
E 1GH IJ.KLM
Checksum A:M = 53
