Geocache Description:

I had a lot of fun solving bkj97's puzzle Postman's Revenge Kapiti 1 so here is my version.


To solve the puzzle you need to find the locality for each of the cryptic clues below then find the postcode associated with that locality.

Use the official NZ Post website to find the 4 digit postcode (in the format ABCD). Also it would be helpful to check out the listing Postman's Revenge Kapiti 1 for some useful advice on using the website.
