This geocaching version is a Letterbox Hybrids; multi, and the stamps of letterboxing, so the cache is NOT at the listed co-ordinates. As it is a letterbox, please remember that the rubber stamp is not a trade item, it is intended to stay within the cache.
When I was out geocaching one day I noted this little spot had been done up and you can now see the old water trough and information board placed beside. A cute set up ans another bit of history of the area I didn't know. Unfortunately there is already another geocache within the 161m of here so I couldn't place one at the time. Today I came back armed with an idea, a multi (whith stamp set - so hybrid letterbox) for those heading back to town - note as per the attributes it is not within 1km of the listed co-ordinates but easily accessible to anyone on the cycle/footpath heading to town.
At GZ there is room for 2 cars to park and crossing to and from the cycle/footpath is ok out of peak hours.
Use the information panel to solve S 45° 5A.BCD E 170° 3W.XYZ

X = Foundation of a military base at Pukekura was 188X.
ZY = Cycling firdt arrived on Portobello Rd in 18ZY.
Checksum A+B+C+D+W+X+Y+Z = 39
