Geocache Description:


This is a single stand alone toilet despite the name indicating more than one cubicle, but I wanted to keep the same pattern in naming as I have done in others of this series. The unit is unisex and is situated next to the Vaxhaul Yacht Club in the car park on the northern side. There is a bike/walking path that runs right past, a possible much needed break for some. Beware that on the other side of the foot/bike path that there is a very busy road so keep a close eye out on any youngsters that you have with you. You need to push a button to open the door where you will be greeted with a grey tiled floor and white wall tiles, good ventilation and lighting. On the few occasions I've visited there has sometimes been a minor mal odour but the floor has always been dry.The toilet bowl is of stainless steel construction with a white plastic seat to protect you from the cold steel if seating is required. There is a sanitary disposal unit as well as a unit for disposing of clinical waste, the latter is something that I have not observed in any of the facilities that I've reported on earlier. There are hand rails to assist anyone who is not too steady on their feet but these are designed for adults, not toddlers. There is a sensory operated hand washing unit that dispenses soap, water and warm drying air, as well as operating the flush when you wash your hands. Beware, if you do not use this unit the toilet will flush when you open the door thus notifying anyone waiting that you didn't wash your hands after using the toilet. There is a coat hook just inside the entrance, but no mirror if you want assistance in grooming. The unit lacks any rubbish bin but outside against the eastern wall are three general rubbish bins. in the carpark on the south side there are picnic tables.

All except for the retrivial can be done from a wheelchair but the user can get to less than 1 metre from the cache.

Now to gather information to locate the cache, exit and walk about 70m through the car park in a northerly direction until you reach the grassy spot just to the left of the boat ramp. Go too far and you'll end up in the water. There, you will see two signs that should provide the information that you so keenly want. one is an Otago Regional Council sign on boating and the other is by Biosecurity New Zealand.

The cache is at    S 45 53.ABC E170 31.DEF

A = Number of digits in the big red and white circle.

= Number of yachts visible in the signs.

= Total number of bullet points on the portrait shaped sign, minus 1

= Difference between he digit relating to walking speed and the maximun boating speed.

E = Last digit in the number for reporting pests.

F = Number of letters in the name of the colour of the paint on the business end of the paint brush. 

Please note that I updated the questions after a sign was taken down. I have noticed that when I view the questions when using the offical apt the old questions still appear on my phone but if I click on "Open in Browser" which is listed below "Waypoints", the new questions are there.

Check Sum A + B + C + D + E + F = 25

Now, go and look but please take care as this can be a very busy area at times, especially in the weekends.
