kaimaikid: Well after checking all of the waypoints to make sure that they are all still in place only to discover the cache missing - very odd as its a place very unlikely to be stumbled on - ah well such is life... [:(]

Geocache Description:

Located at Te Munga, once a site for a rubbish landfill, now turned into a wildlife wetlands featuring lakes and walkways through a tranquil native plant setting.


The waypoint listed is for the first picture clue just to help you along your way which is located on the corner of Truman Lane and Tip Lane, Te Munga, Mount Maunganui.

Firstly:

There are 5 pictures complete with distances to help you locate the first waypoint to start this multicache....

Secondly:

This multicache is based on Mauao (Bay of Plenty) by klaymen (GC5FE5) cache so if you have already done this one, it will help.

Please whatever you do, don't swim in or drink the water found here as it could make you rather sick due to it being treated effluent. If attempting near or after dark, it may pay to have good insect repellent as the mosquito's tend to be man eaters. Could be a great spot to bring a mountain bike etc. Also when entering here, the road sign says it is a private road which is incorrect as this is a very public reserve.

Also don't take your car into the reserve as the forestry type gate could be locked at any time due to recent boy racers and their unwanted antics !!!
