Found in Te Puna quarry park. Requires a quick climb into the now rusty excavator which will put you on the right track and you will need to get your brains into gear, but don't let that let you get left behind. There are warning signs about letting children play. The cache is a nano and it is magnetic ;-) some care required when searching so as not to accidentally knock or drop the cache somewhere inaccessible.
Te Puna Quarry Park is being developed by a dedicated band of volunteers from a disused quarry into a world class park. This old scar on the hillside has already become a place of special beauty. From the upper levels there is a spectacular panoramic view out over the Bay of Plenty. There are ponds, tree ferns, cymbidium orchids by the thousand, native tree plantings and exotics such as vireya rhododendrons - a wild garden of infinite variety. Special garden areas include irises, cacti and succulents, an Australian area, a native Arboretum, a Bonsai corner, a South African area and a Palm Grove. We now have a butterfly garden where monarchs and admirals happlily fly free.
Featured throughout the Park, are sculptures by local artists. The Quarry is now becoming popular as an exhibition area for outdoor art and also for weddings. The walking tracks are easy for the moderately fit. This is a place to enjoy, a place of nature and tranquility, of stunning views and great art.
A great walk around with plenty to keep children interested and now more than a single cache. Difficulty set as is due to lack of clue.
