I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
We found sistema container been painted black in bushes empty with no lid. Wondering if this the cache? As couldnt find anything else.
Very confused about this one. Is it still at the published co-ords? What sort of container is it now? I think a few issues need to be sorted with the cache, and it should be disabled until a CO check.
Had a good look on a variety of levels (including by the old stone pier) and came up empty handed.
Challenged my dodgy knee to go look for this one but it’s a DNF from me today ️
On a day roadtrip from Dunedin to visit a friend in Cromwell. After visiting her at the new cherry farm we headed home via a number of caches. Luckily my muggle friends (who dubbed themselves the caching minions) drove and played look out as I jumped in and out of the car hunting for them. On this one as they too love bridges and taking photos we hoped out and had a hunt around. Not where I expected it to be, wonder if been dropped here as would have lots of rain going over it. Container is no longer black and the coffee can next to it draws eye away from the container. Was dry enough to sign.
Found using alternative co-ordinates posted in an earlier log (thanks) S 45 11.425 E 169 18.978. Before this had found hint material but believe cache has been moved from original location. Cache has been inundated with water at some point evidenced by the silt inside the container. I cleaned it up as best I could but really needs CO to visit, maintain and check location. TFTC
Owner will carry out maintenance on the cache in the next 4 weeks when in the area.
rustynz tells me I need to catch up with all my logging
This was when we were in the South Island, doing the Otago cycle rail trail.
Sorry for the generic logs. But thank you to all the CO for the hides and the maintenance on all your caches.

Cycling with rebel98 the river trail, and beyond along the Otago Rail trail. Amazing morning with the mist on the river.
Like the previous finder the cache was found full of water. With mud preventing the cache lid to be closed on one side. With no supplies for maintenance, and no way to sign a swimming log, I took this picture. The cache needs some TLC.
Thanks for the hide, and bringing us to this beautiful spot.

Found this cache but couldn't write in log as cache was full of water. Definitely needs a replacement log!
11.45am. We were under a bit of time pressure by this stage and that may have been a cause of our failure. We found the second part of the hint but look as we did amongst the rocks below we failed to locate it. Pity.

Three catchers plus three muggles spent four weeks in New Zealand and so we browsed along our way. Tree days bike trip Central Otago lead us tu this cache. TFTC
Four weeks we spent together with Lwagnero and Geoded wandering through the beautiful New Zealand and occasionally also searched caches. This was one of them that we found. Thanks and greetings from Czech Republic.
First night on the start of the Rail Trail this was not far from camp lovely walk along the track with the muggle BF for a quick find. Thanks
Found but nowhere near listed coordinates. No trackable inside either. Best to read previous comments for clues on this one.
Found. Coordinates were way off, but followed clues and pay logs. Why do I continue caching in jandals? Thanks.
We couldn't find this anywhere. Kids obviously hang out under there so suspect the found it and took it.
Hopefully we are wrong
Hopefully we are wrong
did not found it, wether at the orange dot nor at the skull with crossed bones :-/
Oh, Clyde's got it's own Golden Gate!
It's always difficult to get perfect coordinates close to or under a big structure, but we found the cache some 20 meters away from the posted coordinates - and we think that is's a littel off.... We saved a waypoint (S45° 11.425' E169° 18.978') with 3 m accuracy - maybe it can help others to locate the container and the CO to uppdate the coords.
**Thanks** for the cache!

*Finally vacation and time for the trip 'down under' to Australia and New Zealand via China. We’re expecting to see a lot of different animals and flowers and also hope to find nice caches and meet other geocachers during our journey.*

Found it - but it was not in the origional place - new cords are 45 11.429 169 18.976 maybe the river was high. Picked up traval log N4X35Y will take it on our journey before leaving it somewhere interesting.
Found after a short look, well build bridge, but not in original spot. as someone said look for the skulls.
Took a while. Should have read comments properly first. Also cache was not well hidden. No trackables in it but dropped one off. Look under first pillar.
Certainly not in the original described place. Left where we found it. HINT: skull & cross bones.
Easy find, suspect someone's moved it because it was just in plain view. TFTC and repositioned a bit better.
NZJ... NZJ. Had to estimate date. This was me first ever find, found by accident but signed and swapped a button for a leaf. I remember this cache as untill recently I never knew what I had found or anythjng about geocaching. The cache had/has instructions and as a muggle, when I first found it, I followed the 'rules' exactly. Funny how many years later I discover geocaching and remember that little black box I found by accident 5 years ago.
Definately added to favourites being my first to find.

Up Central for the weekend and a lovely warmish winters day so time for a little bike ride! We did the rail trail from Clyde to Alexandra (about 17km in total from where we started) and R not only found the cache she completed the whole trail...most impressed!!! TFTC
A stop in Clyde for brunch for Morher's Day and then a quuck hunt down by the river.

After the afternoon biking on the Rail Trail, we had cache stops on our way back to Frankton. Many of the bridges in this area are so beautiful. Little miss 5 yr old was keen to clamber around and find this one. Thanks for this cache.
We are traveling around New Zealand. We are so glad that we can discover this beautiful country. We enjoy it so much. This cache was found during our travel.
Thank you. Greetings from Czech Republic

A straightforward find while cycling from Queenstown to the start of the Otago Central Rail Trail. The hint was most valuable.
Thank you NZ_3RDS for this cache.

Today we drove from Alexandra to Clyde, where we found a few caches. Nice historic bridge. Afterwards we had a cup of coffee in the old post office.
Greetings from Denmark.

Found that after a little scramble down the hill. The water looked so inviting!
Thanks
Thanks
It's definitely red and it's a bridge! Bit of a slither for slightly ageing legs, but got there (and back) having got the cache and signed the log. Eyesight must be as bad as the legs because Orange spot was missed!

Found with no problem, very nice surroundings. What a wonderful place!
Thank you for the cache and greetings from two Czechs!

It seems bridges are my thing while staying in Clyde. I managed to wreck my jandals walking over the bridge so made the approach to the cache in bare feet. Got the find okay and then headed into Alex to try to get new jandals. No joy though, my feet aren't THAT big.
Left a couple of TBs in the cache for the next finder.

Took my partner to find her first cache, found it and found my first travel bug! (CP2JBQ)
After ten month on my touring bike, now I find finally time to do some logs. I loved it to cycle around New Zealand and look for some caches.
On way to Cromwell for the weekend and stopped to get this one. Great location here for this one I have stopped here once before a long time age but was a muggle back then and have driven past here many times and today I'm not a muggle so I stopped to get this one. Looking up the river there must have been a lot of rain up river as the flood gates are open so the river is quite high at the moment but no problems getting the cache. TFTC ☺
Found after a wonderful meander along the riverbank. GPS RAM mount working a treat. TFTC!
Nice winters day to check out the dam and bridge. Kids had fun clambering around
Didn't notice any orange dot, but found this one after my first two were unsuccessful. First cache found in Clyde!
We'd been here before when we were new to geocaching with no luck. Back for a second look and found surprisingly quickly. How did we not find it last time?? Found with Aoraki Sheep.
Wouldn't you know it! A couple of elderly muggles were on the bridge admiring the view and we waited for them to move on before we were able to sneak out of sight and down to make a quick find. Found with debsnz
Sadly no TB in cache???

On our way from Alexandra to Queenstown today and stopping to get a couple of caches on the way, with no geocaching family members so cant be stopping at all the ones I would like to but still awesome they supporting me with my streak 117 days now. Have been to this bridge many times before but never under it. Found the cache very fast with the tell tale hiding place pretty obvious to a geocacher Also left a TB in here that a caching mate TNXPro gave to be to bring down south so good luck on your travels Lady Sabrina. Very awesome location and I was really surprised at how fast the river flows here you defiantly wouldn't want to fall in. Cheers for a cache in a awesome location and for bringing me back here after so many years. Hope the TB doesnt go missing
Found during a wonderful visit to Central Otago for a few days. Perfect weather, and a beautiful time of year to be there. Found the cache easily
- mini Edam cheese (New World collectable)
+ The Vikings geocoin
+NZ fridge magnet

Found with Mr Potty, GPS not working well for us today and couldn't find dot so took a while to find.
Another cache on my April Central Otago caching trip with my grandparents, where I went from Dunedin through to Queenstown. A very picturesque bridge, but I had no time to photograph it as a cache was needing to be found. Quick find after I expanded my search area (Under the bridge, not beside ) TFTC
Quick find. Apparently I was swimming in the river as I was searching according to my GPS. Thanks for the cache.
Nice easy find while walking around Clyde while on holiday in the South Island. TFTC
Searched for this after cycling the 150th Anniversary Track from Alexandra. Precarious getting to GZ and no way Mrs B would have attempted getting to it, so just as well I managed to find it quickly. TFTC
Wearing totally unsuitable shoes, slipping and sliding downwards, i got this one
Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today on our trip to Cromwell via Clyde. We enjoyed our day!
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

My second visit and attempt to find this one. My GPS had me swimming the Clutha but common sence prevailed and I wes duely rewarded.
Took a wee while to find but was happy to clamber about - couldn't see any orange dot!
