Geocache Description:

Difficulty: 2 (above ground, but invisible from 10m)
Terrain: 1 (track through long grass/tussock)
Location: Christchurch City port hills about 8.5km south from the city centre, New Zealand

The cache is hidden in a small rectangular 1.1 litre translucent plastic container with a red lid and contains:
  • 2 small water pistols (empty)
  • 1 small karabiner key ring
  • Some balloons with smiley faces
  • A disposable camera (to record the event - when about 10 people have found it, I will develop the film and post the pics).
  • The usual log book - follow directions on pg. 2 of yellow instruction pages
The container is small... so make sure your replacement objects are also small.
