Geocache Description:




Another temporary replacement for the replacement cache for the previous version (Whatavu) which was tragically cut down in its prime.

The new cache is currently in the same area but in a more secure place with a not-so-better vu.

The Omanawanui Track can be accessed either from the car park at Whatipu or a few minutes after you hit the gravel road on the way down Whatipu Road. If you come in from the car park expect to take about 30 minutes to hit GZ, if you come from the other end of the track allow up to two hours to get there.

The terrain rating is on the high side as a precautionary measure - there are some steep climbs involved regardless of which direction you come from and if the wind is up the track can be very exposed at times.

The published coordinates will take you within 40m of a seat donated by "Terry Laver's Lemmings" where you can take a moment to admire the view (in any direction) before you locate the cache. It's not designed to be a tough find, it's all about the vu.

You are looking for a magnetic key holder (thanks Greenblat!) 200ml Sistema (thanks alligatorsnz!) Please make sure it's well hidden as you go.
