Geocache Description:

Northern hemisphere meets southern hemisphere for Christmas.


A Southern Hemisphere Christmas Tree

As this is placed, it is December, which means the New Zealand Christmas trees, the pohutukawa are coming in to bloom.  This small reserve has a couple of very fine old pohutukawa as well as a seat for you to take a load off while you watch the world go by.  There used to be a traditional by Zork V and he let me have his spot after he archived his old cache.  Perhaps you remember it.

This one is not in the same place.  You're looking for a camoed micro vial.  You might want tweezers to extract the log and you will need to bring your own pen.  Definitely no room for trackables or swag here, sorry.  This reserve is very small and has neighbours overlooking it as well as being a very busy intersection.  You'll need to be stealthy to retrieve the container and get it signed and replaced so that the neighbours or motorists don't see what you're up to. Give it a little natural camo, there's plenty about.  When you see the cache, I think your geosense will let you know where it is. Junior cachers might need a boost to be able to get to this one.

Good luck and from team tuolei - Grant, Jessie and Albert the geohound, Merry Christmas - 圣诞节快乐!
