Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates should bring you to the front of the main entrance of the railway station. Enter the front doors and to your immediate left you will see where the loos are. The men are straight ahead, and the ladies turn to the right in front of the entrance to the mens. Both are wheel chair accessible. Women are presented with three cubicles. I assume that the men have one or more cubicles replaced by urinals but I didn't enter for confirmation. We will have to assume that overall the difference the mens and womens is miminal. My description is of the womens. All the cubicles have a toilet roll dispenser that holds two large rolls. A sanitary disposal unit is also present in each unit. The loo is cermanic and white with the usual white plastic seating. There is a choice of two flow volumes for the flush. The walls are of white tiles as is the floor although there is a bit of the Royal Dalton tyling, keeping it in line with the main foyer. There are two cermanic hand basins at the base of a large mirror that has a shelf at its base. The taps are stainless steel and my high hopes for hot water were not realised. Soap, I can't remember if there was one or two soap dispensers above the dual handbasins but I did note that there was only one hand drier. The wheel chair accessible unit has its own mirror, hand basin, soap dispenser and hand drier. There is a coat hook in each unit except the wheel chair one that has two. Cleanliness rates high and there is a rubbish bin present. Currently there is uncertainity about the opening hours. Talking to staff in one of the associated businesses someone comes in about 8:30am and opens the doors and the place is shut up about 5pm. Entry to the loos is not crutical to finding the cache but if you really want to go and access is closed then pop along to the south west end of the building (towards Toitu Otago Settlers Museum) and you will find a set of 24/7 toilets by the foot overbridge at S45 52.548 E170 30.489. They are before you reach the old steam train in the glass enclosure. Anyway, while at the station do have a look around at the Royal Dalton decorative tiles in the foyer.

Now, getting down to the important business of locating the cache, follow the following instructions (you might need to decipher it all first though) or, throw your hands up in horror and put it into your ever growing pile of "another day" puzzles to sort out.

Tweezers might help for the final extraction.

If you are having trouble with the final reading do GC9HQVK and read this one the same way. This is when you have to watch out for FLUFF
