Here is the list of 7 unique waymarks according to the Departments as specified for Lucky 7 waymarks, 7 different departments for a tally of 7. The distance in meters from the arbitrary center point calculated from the northings and eastings. All these waymarks are well within 0.5 miles, 803 meters. Two other Akaroa waymarks are posted but not included here. They were out of range or duplicated the 7 departments below. The one out of range waymark is well worth looking at, The Britomart Monument (WMFYFR). It explains the French settlement under British Sovereignty. See (
