Geocache Description:

Find the clues from the locations and this listing, find the poem, then find the cache!

There's a favourite poem of the Bears' that contains the code to unlock the final cache location.

You'll need to deduce a word from the first line of each of four verses. Find the words, then figure out the poem! (You may well know it, it's not obscure, but we suspect some clever Googling will be required!)

First line:

Second line: S43 36.760 E172 38.873
You don't need to read the plaque, just guess who or what would use this item. (Be careful, it's near a real hairpin bend in Dyer's Pass Road!)
Third line: S43 37.961 E172 38.695
One of these items is in the grounds of St. Cuthbert's Church, under the trees.)
Fourth line:

Once you think you know the poem, send an email to "bearleft.poet.name@gmail.com", where "poet.name" is the name of the poet (first and last) in lower case with a period between. (e.g. if it was a really bad poem, you'd send mail to "bearleft.william.mcgonagall@gmail.com")
You'll very quickly get a reply with the final cache coords and a hint.

We hope you enjoy your look around our ex-hometown of Governors Bay!
