Geocache Description:


A simple read-a-sign Multi celebrating Urban Eels, a relatively new development on the Te Ara Kotahi. This area celebrates the releasing of Eels (Tuna) into the Manawatu River, after environmental destruction and intentional culling drove the numbers down. Do let me know if you see any eels while you're there!

To find the true co-ordinates, answer the following questions, where S 40 AB.CDE E175 VW.XYZ

A=On the Maori side of the board, what is the length of the second word in the title?

B=In the bolded section, what line starts with "man and tuna"?

C=On the sign near the waypointed entrance to Urban Eels, how many bikes are pictured?

D="He ahuru mowai mo" how long is the next word in the sentence?

E=In the non-bolded section, which line starts with "Ancestral records show"?

V=What is the length of the word Kuri translates to - you can find this answer at the entrance?

W=What is the length of the Maori word that translates to ban, found on a sign near the big billboard?

X="Ancestral records show that Tuna lived in" what is the length of the next word?

Y=What is the length of the name of the Iwi that guards and stewards this area?

Z= All of the signs around this area have a sentence that reads "Urban Eels: Our Sustainable City". What is the length of the first word of the Maori section of this?

I hope you have fun! The cache itself is a medicine bottle.
