The posted coordinates will take you to where you can solve the puzzle to reveal the location of the geocache. A great camping spot, this park is especially stunning in autumn.
The coordinates for the geocache are: S38o AB.CDA, E176o EB.DFE
Where:
A = the number of eel sculptures
B = the number of letters in the name of the eel that has its dorsal fin start closer to its head
C = the number of stages in the eel life cycle displayed.
D = the age at which female eels are considered an adult at - 30
E = the number of letters in the Maori word for eel.
F = the number of major hydropower schemes on the Rangitaiki River.
The sum of your answers should total 26.
It is a lovely walk from the playground to the final location but if you are in a hurry then you can drive most of the way, provided the gates are open. The gates open 7am daily and close 7pm from 1st October to 31st March or 5pm from 1st April to 30th September.
Cellphone reception can be patchy so please download required information before attempting the geocache.
The geocache is a pill bottle. Please replace exactly as you find it.
