banaari: Alas the cache has gone, and I'm now in Kerikeri.

Almost a drive-by, very close to nearest road, but first you must derive the location. Once you know where you're going, it should take no more than twenty minutes.
The coordinates above are only an approximation. The integer minutes are accurate, but the decimals bear no relationship to reality. You'll need to do some minimal research and solve the first line of the riddle _before_ setting out.
You'll find this near where two plants meet
Close enough to find on feet.
Upon this point so vaguely charted
There stands a sign; in three 'tis parted.
We need the index of the dwelling
Behind the sign so narcissistically telling.
Mark well these digits, but: Avast!
The last shall be first and the first shall be last.
And finally long multiplication
by 43529 shall yield the station.
The figure derived conceals within it
Two groups of three to adjust the minute.
Cache is a 1-litre clear plastic box with clip-on lid. When placed, it contained:
