Geocache Description:


This is the twenty-second cache in my (and now others) Chorus Cabinet Art series. This series is placed to highlight the local artistic talent that Chorus has commissioned to brighten up their otherwise boring public utility boxes. It also has a beneficial side-effect of reducing graffiti damage as well.

An extract from the Chorus Cabinet Art website states:

'This latest addition to Gynelle's native bird series is all set to brighten any winter day and can be found on the corner of Battys Road and Lakings Road.

Gynelle says: This is a cute, colourful and humorous image of three heron babies waiting to be fed.

This cabinet is on a direct diagonal from an earlier painted cabinet of an adult kotuku flanked with magnolia flowers so I wanted to tie the two cabinets together with both theme and colour as they will be viewed together.'

More information on the Kotuku can be found on the CCA No. 3 - Egretta alb modesta (GC8FYGT) cache page. That is the cache based on the painted cabinet diagonally across the intersection.

This is a simple offset multi where the fianl can be found at S 41 30.ABC E 173 55.DEF

The coordinates can be calculated by using the four letter code near the top left hand corner of the box. Note: The letters in the image below have been edited out to both discourage armchair solving, and encourage you to visit the listed coordinates to view the artwork. Assign numbers to the letters according to their position in the alphabet, e.g. A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.

A = Bottom right

B = Bottom left

C = Top left plus bottom right 

D = Bottom right plus top left

E = Bottom right

F = Top left

 

Check sum: A+B+C+D+E+F = 39
