  • Travel back in time to the dark days of WWII when an invasion of New Zealand seemed likely –  Stand in a concrete Observation Post and look out for enemy ships. 
  • Pack a picnic – there are a lot of great spots.
  • Start the trip from Taylors Mistake and make a day of it – complete with sand and surf on your way home.

Godley Head -
There is an adventure map you have to download and use it to look for the Guardian Post.
On it is a special code word that you have to write down.
After finding the code you can tell the D.O.C what is written and claim the rewards.
