Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache is designed to take you on a walk around six historic buildings in Invercargill city, at each building you must look at the corresponding photo and determine the number of features as required (as stated at each waypoint stage) in order to get the final co-ordinates to find the cache and sign the log.  We hope you have fun on this journey.

Please go to each of the waypoints and answer the question in relation to the matching photo in order to get the final co-ordinates to find the cache and sign the log.  Each of the waypoints should take you in front of a historic building in Invercargill city.  These co-ords are +/- 6m, but the photos will help you to determine if you are in the right place, as you will need to find the features as per the photo and answer the corresponding question.  
Please view the photos below named A, B, C, D, E and F. The questions and photos are taken from the building frontages only, so you only need to answer questions based on what you see on the front of the buildings.
Stage 1 waypoint corresponds to Photo A, Stage 2 waypoint corresponds to Photo B and so on...

The final co-ords are S46 24.ABC E168 21.DEF

You are looking for a small screwtop in a high muggle zone.  Bring your own pen please. Please be careful of muggles when searching and ensure it is placed back correctly. Co-ords were +/- 4m at final.

These buildings are a significant part of Invercargill history and we are lucky that they still remain here for us to view.

The final is not at the location we initially planned, but is placed next to another significant historic building. We hope that you have as much fun completing this as we did.
