Geocache Description:

One of a series of caches intended to encourage the use of the Kilmister Block track within Belmont Regional Park. The series is designed to be followed starting from the Belmont Regional Park car park at the top of Hill Road.


The New Zealand Special Animal Service, abbreviated as the NZSAS, traces its origins to the Second World War and the famous Long Wooled Desert Group that a number of New Zealander animals served with. The animals of the SAS are called upon in only the most extreme conditions, often deep inside enemy territory, and operate as a truly autonomous force.

The demanding role that the SAS plays dictates that only the very best animals are selected. This cache will take you to one of the SAS' secret selection facilities. Nicknamed "the maze", candidates are pushed into the facility and must make their way through an increasingly complex series of secret passages, trapdoors, pulleys, and dead-ends. To make matters worse, the prospective SAS troops must also contend with several wandering "bogies", armed with backpacks and long-muzzled weapons that fire a tranquilising liqid into the animal's mouths - an attack that will render a captured animal unconscious within seconds.

Only the best of the best make it through this rigerous ordeal - do you have what it takes??
