Cache not missing. Found and signed. Maybe owner could contact me and I'll tell him where we found it.
Hunted a while but did not find 
meet up with another cacher later who had found it and confirmed we where in the correct area. Maybe a bit of cache creep, or we were just not tuned in to this one. We will return.

TFTC, lots of muggles around this one a gardener and a heap of bowlers, glad to have tall friends!
Had a quick look, but then some one headed in my dirction and started to set up for the night on the bench. Oh well next time
A few muggles around. Found eventually. My kids are handy as periscopes. Tftc
on second visit found quickly thanks to ryan not replacing it back in the right spot. replaced back to where it was on sunday where i couldnt reach it.
Perhaps I am too small. But I didn't even see it.
TFTH!

Very nice little park here. Found on our day trip to Oamaru caching all the way.TFTC
Spotted the cache quickly using a cameraphone and flash, but retrieving it was a bit trickier. Nearly moved the park bench at one stage, but then thought better of it. TFTC.
I'm starting to wonder if everyone around this part of NZ is really tall?! Hehe a few caches that have been out of my reach, so luckily my caching companions were taller!!

Spent a while here with the torch hunting around and was about to give up when success. Off to Helopad. TNLN Thanks.
Out of reach for my stature I had to call on some help. A DNF at this location on previous visits. TFTC
Log book is soaked through thanks to a faulty bag - needs a new log book and plastic covering

number 600 a far cry from the number of men and women that lost thier lives in the war tftc
Like others... I was compelled to cross the road a few times. Then I engaged the geocaching brain and it was nice and easy.
As many times as we have driven this stretch of road I had never noticed the crosses. Glad to have had the opportunity to do so today.

Lest we forget.

On the way to Oamaru for Bitsprayers Wherigo cache Lanes Emulsion http://coord.info/GC21PX3 so stopped and did some treasure hunting on the way. Quick find in the very nice gardens. Salamat!
We knew it was there, but just needed a little lift to find it. Nice spot. Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache.
My second cache whilst staying in Oamaru (and viewing the Penguins!) nice location and a good hide.TFTC
My favourite cache location today. Very lovely, hidden away garden.
The butterfly exercise well here, legs and wings!

Pleased I found this with Sirpent 29, otherwise I might have been left stranded. TFTC
Approached with caution, as there were two gardeners working very close by. Had a brief look, but didn't feel I could search properly with company. Then one of them said "Have you found it yet?" At that point I remembered meeting them before when I found the first cache very near here!! So appropriate hellos were said, and hints given. Cache was duly found and logged. So good of the owner to arrange for such "family" helpers for us poor cachers!! Many thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1842)
Found while on a trip from Australia to Queenstown for a work conference with my mate Marshy (Blacklegend17) who came along for the ride. One of 220 finds for the 8 days we were on the South Island. Found while heading up to Timaru. Had to search for a little while before we had the cache. TFTC.
Second last day of our NZ caching adventure with Quasar3671 aka The Ruddman aka Marty..... Our travels took us from from Christchurch via Queenstown for 5 days then to Dunedin and finally up the East Coast for a caching onslaught.... This cache was one find of 64 for this caching run and more than 70 for the 24th.
Had us looking for a while, but located within about 5 mins. great spot for a cache mind you.... Thanks again.

A bit too subtle for us this morning unfortunately. Muggles watching from the hillside restrained us somewhat but we were disappointed to have to leave without nailing this one.
1st visit gardener was near site, came back and was searching when Mrs Bitsprayer called out to me. Nice to meet her. Talked for a while then off to find the cache. Was really well hidden - no need to go into the gardens. SL TFTC
Didn't find this one unfortunately. Several muggles at the bowling green showing a keen interest.
Nicely hidden, but glad I had StreetWalkerNZ with me. Gorgeous garden, a lovely tribute to the soldiers. Thanks for bringing me here.
#1097 (6/22 Oamaru to Dunedin). One of the best remembrance gardens I've seen. Despite being next to SH1 you do feel quite secluded. TFTC.
Loved the one that this replaces and this is a pretty good hide too. Lovely spot.

Out and about with Yeetrees. Remember finding another cache nearby earlier in the year. Nice hide, and a great spot to revisit.

Found with YuGeo4, yes this one had me puzzled for a few seconds, but then YuGeo4 came up trumps found it in a spot that I had looked. Must be losing my touch, oh well. TFTC TNLNSL (1242)
[It is still there and was not to hard to find.] But minicachers might have some trouble... [Enjoyed the garden close to the Gardens]
The satellite gods are not on my side, for this is the 3rd time I have had 2 DNF's in a row today.
There were some muggles in the park as we arrived, but managed to retrieve the cache from its rather tricky hidey hole. Certainly picked where it was, but extraction was not the easiest. Cheers Gav [4447]
2909. Very accurate coordinates for this cache - the GPS took us straight to the cache - the first time that this has happened all day!!
Thanks

The last cache here made use of a tricky wee hiding spot, so we thought that might be the case again! When we arrived at GZ, we had a few moments thought and quickly came up with a theory. After trying a couple of options we had success. A nice little hide. TNLN TFTC
Sheesh! Almost rolled my ankle as I was looking at the gps, while walking down the steps. Missed the last step and down I went. Good hiding spot. TFTC
Well overdue for a logging session - will have to get better at logging! TFTC
Found with Johnnygoescaching on trip to Timaru
