In this week's Cache Walk we are in Auckland, New Zealand putting out a new virtual geocache. It's near the main cruise ship dock on Auckland's waterfront. We enjoy logging easy virtuals when travelling overseas. We are often in places with limited time to explore, geocache and film so thought there should be one in Auckland for travellers like us. Come and see where we decided it should go.

I must have walked past this monument without ever noticing it. Thank you for pointing it out and for the history.

@GeoRick When you are next back in the UK, there is a similarly themed Virtual Cache in Manchester which you may like to visit. It is GC89015 - "War Memorial #900-SideTracked-Manchester Victoria" Best wishes. Phil

Thanks Phil it looks an interesting one. War memorial series and a sidetracked one. We have our next two visits planned but will put it on our list for another visit.

A very suitable and excellent place for a Virtual cache. Love the light globe on top. Congrats on being rewarded a Virtual cache.

Thanks, it was fun choosing a place. The globe on top makes it special. We have not seen one like that before.

Thanks for the great videos. We don't travel around as much as you do so it's great to see other parts of the world.

Congratulations on getting a virtual cache. What an excellent spot you selected. I'm intrigued with World War history. 🦀

Thanks, glad you liked our choice of location. The memorial was in pieces in a storage shed for many years and then tucked away near traffic lights so many Auckland's have not really noticed it up until now.

Have you ever taken a cruise on the Silver Whisperer? I love caches like this. Maybe someday we'll be there.
@GeoRick
@GeoRick 6 месяцев назад
No we have never been on a cruise. The Silver Whisperer looks like a good one to choose. If ever you make it here we would love to show you Auckland.

Nice location. We had a spot ready just in case, but unfortunately we didn't get the virtual reward...

Thanks, we had fun looking for a suitable place. Hope they put out more in the future. Would love to see webcam caches come back like the virtuals did.
