Geocache Description:

Part of a series of Sunrise Events I have organised for this holiday.

Sunrise here is at 5.48am. 


 

According to the time standards and Greenwich which is the royal Observatory situated in London observed that New Zealand is the only one country in the world where sun rises first. 

Whilst East Cape in North Island in New Zealand is the Easter most place which take the first sunrise. I think down here we have the more dramatic backdrop for Sunrises. 

Event details:

Date: 1st January 2016

Time log book open: 5.48am - 6.30am

Log Location: End of walking track on top of headland

Couple of Key House keeping notes:

1. As this is the day after new years eve, please all make sure you are safe to drive or have organised to grab lift from a firend. Alternative post on here that you would like a lift - I can pick up 3 people in my car.

2. To arrive for the sunrise you will need to walk the paths in low/no light. So bring tourch and even though it is a well worn path, wear sensible and sturdy shoes.

3. In the event of there being terrible weather I will move the event to the car park because the location above is not a place to get caught out.  

4. Bring a camera!
