Geocache Description:


This used to be located as a roundabout by the Mataura Bridge but it got moved in 2008 to its current location not far from the RSA hall. Its a shame as this tucked away spot makes it by chance anyone can find it.

 

The cache can be found at;

S 46° 11.ABA E 168° 51.CDB

Where;

A = There is a quote at the bottom of the front panel beginning 'Their name...'  how many letters in the surname of the person the quote comes from?

B = On the front panel, first line (starting Lieut.) under the date, how many C's are in the line (watch out for the G)? Add 1.

C = On front panel, top line how many letters in the middle (third) word?

D = On back panel. Number of Private Wards + Number of Private Sim + Number of Private Reid.

Check sum = A + B + C + D = 25

Be careful with young ones as need to come from the side and go too far any bank edge is there.
