"First New Zealand" GC45 Geocaching Memorial Plaque — photo spot in Q79X+V6 Picnic Area, Whakarewarewa, Rotorua 3073, New Zealand
"First New Zealand" GC45 Geocaching Memorial Plaque
Photograph the commemorative ‘First New Zealand’ GC45 geocaching plaque set within Whakarewarewa’s lush picnic area — juxtapose the weathered metal plaque with native bush, steam vents and nearby boardwalks for context. Best at golden hour or soft overcast light to avoid harsh reflections; weekday mornings are quieter. Picnic-area parking available; respect iwi signage and stay on paths—some areas in the living thermal village require paid entry or guided access.
