The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates. If you go there you will find yourself at a busy Pukekohe intersection. To obtain the correct co-ords and locate the cache you will need to find the traditional caches in the T2A-R series. Each one will have some information you need to find the bonus. To locate the Tauranga bonus cache, find the ten others in the series between Auckland and Tauranga (ie on the left side of the route heading south). To find the Auckland bonus cache, find the ten others in the series between Tauranga and Auckland (ie on the left side of the route heading north).
All caches from Tauranga to Auckland or from Auckland to Tauranga should be found and the logs signed before looking for the bonus cache at the end of the route.
