Geocache Description:


The yellow 39 South sign grabbed my attention and caused the placement of this cache; there is parking adjacent and the cache is conveniently nearby, though a quick stroll through the reserve will bring you to an Owhango Info kiosk which says It is at Exactly 39 South though my GPS did not agree.

Owhango is located on the 39° latitude line, placing it on the boundary of the old Auckland Province and Wellington Provinces. Half way through Owhango is the sign marking "39° South". This sign is accurate (to within a few metres) when using NZ Geodetic Datum 1949. The position of 39° South when using WGS84 (or NZ Geodetic Datum 2000) is about 196 metres further south.
Small sistema with room for geocoins or small TB's; I didn't have a stubby pencil, so BYO!
