Geocache Description:

There’s a bridge here on the Te Henui Stream, not far from the coastal walkway. It’s great for playing Pooh Sticks <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poohsticks>.

With or without a stick, you need to visit the posted co-ordinates and find a nano 'cache' on the bridge for a clue. With this, make sense of the riddle in the ‘prose’ below, you should have the final GZ in sight.

“Copper three quarter, five sense s by water.

O year of my birth, ‘fore joined to rare earth.

Sum integer parts? …just decade & aft.

Though minted, now munted, a westing so shunted."
