Geocache Description:

Welcome to the kiwi shaped geotrail based around the Pauatahanui Inlet.

This trail was conceived and created by cacher XboomstickX, who we thank, but is now looked after by three geocachers who have adopted the caches so the geotrail continues to live.


This cache is the first of 61 puzzles in the shape, all fairly easy with no tricky stuff. Most of the finals are close to the inlet, with a few thrown further afield to fit them in. Many of the puzzels types have been repeated to help minimise frustration and to keep in theme, and any web-based information gathering is always from a single site (for the respective puzzle types).

Originally the containers were all identical (small pill containers) bar one (you'll see) but a number have now changed as maintenance is undertaken to look after the trail. The hides are all fairly basic.

There are a number of fantastic walkways, parks, cafe's and beaches in the area. For those from further away we recommend staying a night or two to take it in, and not turn it into a geo-frenzy.

If anyone spots an error, or sees some field maintenance required feel free to assist or contact the respective new CO so they can investigate and repair. A few may suffer from storms.

You will note that there are a few nearby puzzles from other players, a couple of which fit into either the shape or the cache pattern or both. These are not part of the shaped geotrail itself, but are recommended as well.

A number of caches are placed near roads. These often have significant traffic, so please be careful. Also - a number of caches are in full view of muggles. Use all your well honed caching skills and any misdirection to be super stealthy.
