This cache has been changed to make it easier. The co ordinates are different as of April 2015.
A simple two stage multi, very near Dunedin's new Stadium. Cache is an easy walk, in fact even a easy hop from the co ordinates. Could even be able to find it blind but there is a lot of metal about.
Their is a plaque at the co ordinates and the cache will be found by finding the answers to the below questions.

The cache is a Magnetic nano so bring your own pen. The Dunedin City Council must feel as though it's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
A commemorative stone marking the sister city relationship between Dunedin and Edinburgh has been blasted by leading Dunedin artists.
The Dunedin-Edinburgh Stone was sited between Forsyth Barr Stadium and the Water of Leith on November 22 last year, while a reciprocal stone from Dunedin was installed on the Edinburgh waterfront.
"The placement of the Dunedin stone, compared to Edinburgh, is pathetic. It's an unconsidered installation," Otago Sculpture Trust member Stephen Mulqueen said.
"The Dunedin stone is jammed up again the fence-line and can't be fully appreciated by viewers. To experience any three-dimensional object, you have to be able to walk around it," Mr Mulqueen said.
"Its placement is an embarrassment and it clearly fails to match the elegant placement of the sculpture on the Edinburgh quayside. The plaque also fails to mention the project's instigator and maker, Sylvia Stewart."
The project was conceived by Scottish sculptor Sylvia Stewart, who travelled to Dunedin in 1999 to select a basalt volcanic magma rock from the Water of Leith, which was installed at Rennies Isle in Leith on the Edinburgh waterfront.
She created the Aberdeenshire granite rock for Dunedin in 2007, to symbolise the historic cultural bond between the two cities.
The Otago Sculpture Trust also held an unofficial "re-unveiling".
Former DCC community life general manager Graeme Hall said the area where the rock was sited was planned as a sculpture area.
"We put it where it was considered appropriate and where it had a relationship with the Leith. Everybody we spoke to said it was a good idea, at the time."
