Headed out with Sharkiefan for an epic 2 days of super crazy caching in Oamaru! Needed to get a caching fix since within Chch I'm only going for one a day to be able to continue my streak as long as possible! We found a total of 78 caches! Hehe Epic weekend all round! And thanks to all the Oamaru and surroundings cachers who made our trip totally the best and caching happy as!

Drove straight up to this one, and sharkiefan pretty much had her hands on the cache before I even managed to get out of the car!! Sweet... I was then off to look at where we would head off to next!!

TFTC!!

Quick find. Log book wet. Tftc

Needs log book replacement. Would suggest putting it in a plastic bag

Found with Chosen1978 on weekend trip into bitsprayer country. Great view down to the harbour on an excellent morning.

Aaha, had a hunt with no luck then enjoyed the view and had luck, logged with granville86a

A lovely day for a wander. Cruising around Oamaru on Queens Birthday. Thanks for the hide.

Cold today, BUT how beautiful it would be on a nice day.

Came by here with Roostaman today on a brief stop to find some caches on our way through to Geraldine, and for a simple drive by cache, the views were very nice of the harbour. This one took us about a minute longer than it should've as we were practically staring straight past it.

Gratias waitaki999.

Find # 4620 and a total of 77 today with Marcus Vitruvius, on our NZ Mega trip.
Another day of Mega caching from Dunedin to Geraldine.
Another nice cache and hide and then on the way again.

Day three of the trek south to the NZ Mega.
After staying in Oamaru for night two, it was time to head to Dunedin. We'd had a cooked breakfast in an Oamaru bakery and grabbed a few caches in town before heading south. This was one of the caches we found. My thanks to Bitsprayer for the cache.

Nice views to be had from GZ. A straightforward find.

Thanks waitaki999 for the cache.

This was one of 69 caches for the day along with bogonghazy enroute from Oamaru to Dunedin for NZ Mega. We had sunshine, rain, snow and wind throughout the day. But still got to enjoy a greats days caching. Thanks to the CO and greetings from Oz.

Good to see the sea views around here, TFTC

quick find

nice view

lovely view

one of many to get 1000 caches TFTC found with wethreefourdices.

On a caching trip with ingidayna to Oamaru and surrounds to get 1000 finds. TFTC

Nice views from this vantage spot but was very windy. Luckily the cache hadn't been blown away. TFTC

This site holds a commanding view of Friendly Bay below. Some geo experience helps with locating this cache.

found on my round today

good weather and all

merci

It's confirmed I am blind, the cache was there all the time. Must have past my hand over it numerous times before. I thought I only needed my glasses for reading, must remember to take them caching also. Thanks to Caiktin for reassuring me the cache was still there.

I have searched high and low. Flattened all the grass at GZ. Left no stone unturned. Checked under every blade of grass. It must be muggled or I am blind. Im the blind geocacher!! Please tell me it has been muggled.

Younger sister did a rubbish job of muggle-lookout. A couple walked past just as Geomum was putting the cache back ... Lovely. Found and signed reasonably quickly.

#7 on my hiking-caching-tour today. Took 5min to find it. Nice view!

Good find tftc

They are awesome views.

Visiting from the UK with my brother, was not aware of the early DNF, question if the cache is still there.

First DNF for this cache. Must be going cache blind! Next time....

FOUND THE CACHE FAIRLY EASILY

TRAVELLING AROUND BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH ISLAND FROM THE UK

Quick find. Amazing how you can turn driving up the wrong street into an advantage. TFTC

As the reason we came to NZ was to celebrate Clare's Birthday we were being taken out for a meal (and a very good one it was) so came a little early and did a little caching.

The views from up here are fab. the cache a little harder to find

1.45pm. Found without difficulty after admiring the view from near GZ. The sea was crashing in over the breakwater - quite spectacular. Unfortunately the lid of the cache cannister was not on properly and the log inside was saturated. We replaced the log with a temporary sheet of paper.

log book soaking wet.

A wonderful vantage point while arousing suspicion!

found on second attempt, first attempt foiled by cyclists

Found just on dark

A quick find. Logbook is very wet inside. Thanks from Durin1 and Ginkgo84.

Needs dried out as log soaked. Tftc

Took a bit of hunting but got there in the end

Had to scramble about a bit for this one, then the GPS settled down and realised I'd scrambled about unnecessarily. Nice to do a few more of the local ones. My 250th! TFTC.

Great views suppose great cost to buy too.

will be a nice spot to build

Nice views

Really drive in. Thanks.

Log book needs replacement.

Would be nice living up here, doesn't look like much work is going towards it. Great views TFTC

Quiet in the harbour except for all the visitors wandering about.

thanks. a few muggles about.

TFTC

Didn't have a map over this area in my phone (which I use as a GPSr), so I parked my car much further up the hill and walk through the grass to this cache. Somebody was sitting in a car very close to it, but I could search for it and log it anyway. Quite nice view over the town, the harbor, and the sea from this place. TFTC!

Good view of Oamaru, easily found. TFTC

Great Spot, thanks for bringing me here. tnln

Great view & easy find. TFTC

Had to wait for a muggle and his K9 to leave the area before we could get this cache, but after that it was easy. TFTC TNLNSL (1354)

Thanks to BaldEd we could log our visit. Quick find on our way back from Sunrise Sunset.

Another wet and mouldy film canister cache. Removed the paper mache and replaced with a small scrap of paper and a silica gel sachet. Cache needs a new logbook (and a more waterproof container).

found it today as the sun set making oamaru look very picturesque from this vantage point. cache was soaking wet though and the log paper was mouldy and unreadable

Quick find. Like the previous logs -the log is soaked. Signed the paper they left. TFTC (682)

Left a piece of paper with our names on it. TFTC

Cache was very wet so left a piece of paper with our names on it.TFTC.
