Geocache Description:


This cache is a replacement for the secondl 'DebsNZ Mega Menagerie'. Updated coordinates are S45 48.942 E170 37.605, a distance of 3.1m from the original site. Please check the lid of this cache for the code which is part of the Mega Menagerie Final. The first two DebsNZ Mega Menagerie have been archived.

You are looking for a 500ml screw top container that holds a log book and a few swaps and a pencil. There is also an inked stamp pad and stamp that must not be taken, even as a swap. Because two previous caches in this area in this series have gone missing I hope that this one has been hidden well enough so muggles will not find it. Please be sure that it is placed back properly and covered with dead flax leaves. 

The Hotere Garden Oputae was built on Observation Point at Port Chalmers in 2005.  Set in a garden full of native plants are four of Hotere's sculptures including his 1991 Black Phoenix II sculpture.  Entry to the garden is free so enjoy the peace of the place. 

The Mega Menagerie Final is GC3XDTQ. It has had two finds since 2013 and I looked in on it 6 days ago and the container is still in place.

Other caches needed for the final are:

Mega Menagerie - Dunedin Cyclists(Otago) GC3XAX5, Mega Menagerie - In the Woods(Otago), replaced by Mega Menagerie - In the Woods II(Otago) GC7MYFG, Nofs Mega Menagerie(Otago) replaced  by Menagerie, Not so Mega(Otago) GC7MXEK, Us Zero Four's Mega Menagerie(Otago) GC3YDHC, Tunfisk's Mega Menagerie(Otago) GC3YDQH, Hinemoana's Mega Menagerie (Otago) GC3Y57Y, Tharon's Mega Menagerie(Otago) GC3YF33, Guwapo's Mega Menagerie(Otago) GC3XYHQ, iRufus' Mega Menagerie(Otago) GC3YW5F
