Listen up (Wellington) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mermaid.Man: Upon reflection I have made a decision to archive the cache.

It wasn't an easy decision, but alas the regular maintenance required with the cache has become a little burdensome. The cache has needed work every 6 or 8 months, and after almost 8 years I think I will just let it go.

Thanks very much to those who have visited the cache, and thanks for the kind comments left in the logs.

Geocache Description:

This cache brings you to a quiet and secluded corner of Whareroa Farm.  This wonderful spot commands a great view of the farm and can be reached by coming up the hill from The Dell, a popular picnic area nearby.


The cache is located at one of the designated areas in the park where bird numbers are monitored, and a rustic bench is provided for you to sit and count birds, or to just sit and listen to them whilst recovering from the short steep walk taken to get there.

You are looking for a small camouflaged container which is hidden nearby amongst the roots of a large tree. Once you have it in hand you will hopefully understand the procedure required to locate and to sign the logbook.

Please be sure to read an instruction written on the underside of the lid and to take a moment to ensure that no muggles have crept up behind you while you were searching.

There is some quite steep terrain close to ground zero and youngsters should probably be supervised quite closely and common sense should prevail at all times.

GPS reception is quite poor at the site but the given coordinates should certainly get you close enough.

Please take a few extra minutes to replace the cache carefully and please refrain from submitting logs which would disclose the method of accessing the logbook.
