Geocache Description:

Located close to central Wellington in a beautiful hillside park, this cache is simple to locate once you reach the plaque and determine the new coordinates.

Take the cable car from Lambton Quay or park at the following coordinates:
S 41° 17.148
E 174° 46.029

Once you reach the coordinates you will need to decipher the following coded coordinates to locate the actual cache using the third plaque from the left:
S KG° MR.CAL
E DIA° RG.LEN

KG = Ammunition weight (standard) in kilograms -1
MR = Maximum Range in kilometres +500 metres
CAL = Calibre in millimetres -59 (with a zero in front of the answer: 0??)
DIA = Wheel Diameter in centimetres +34
RG = Rifling Grooves +10
LEN = Overall Length in decimetres - 1400mm (with a zero in front of the answer: 0??)

This is quite a popular location for sightseers, and the cache area is on one of the paths nearby so a cautious geocacher won't have a problem!

The cache is a 1 litre round plastic container painted camo green and brown.
It initially contained a Shrek logbook and pencil as well as:
1x strawberry eraser
1x pink mini yoyo
1x black New Zealand balloon
1x orange sun keyring

Good luck and happy caching!!
