Grovetown Lagoon and Olive Grove? (Nelson/Marlb.) Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Captain_S: I am archiving the entire Power of 10 series due to some misunderstandings with both cachers and landowners as to the placement of some of the caches in cemetaries.
When I first put this series out, I was very careful to approach the various people responsible for the locations, and was granted permission in all cases. It seems that either these people have moved on and not passed this information on, or reneged on the original permission.
The other reason for archiving is the number of cachers who have a problem with caches located in cemetaries, my response to that is that you don't have to find them, the choice is yours. My choice was to place them there for specific reasons and I was able to do so at the time.
If you have not finished this series and wish to find the final location (not in a cemetary) I will be happy to provide you with the co-ords.
Thanks for understanding

Geocache Description:

An interesting Resting place with a difference.

Find your way to the plaque at the above Co-ordinates and answer the questions to find the final cache site nearby.
This cemetary is obviously sacred to the Maori people, so please show the appropriate respect. I felt humbled by the way the graves are so much more human than in most graveyards. The love shown is obvious, something the traditional graveyard lacks at times.
The Cache is a 1 litre Camo box with the usual logbook and trades.

Final Cache is at S41 AB.CBD E173 DB.EFG

A = The third digit in the year the treaty was signed - 2
B = The second digit in the year he contested the felling of timber.
C = The last digit of the year the plaque was unveiled divided by 3
D = The third digit of the year he signed pact between Rangitane and the crown
E = Third digit in the year that he signed away Whites Bay.
F = The second digit in the day of the month that the treaty signed
G = The second digit in the year the plaque unveiled.

Q. WHY HAS THIS CACHE GOT A NUMBER?
