Made a short walk around our Motel and found this nice PlaceThanks for showingTftc

Don't have a pen but surprisingly easy

Thanks for maintaining this cache

Thanks in good condition

Thanks in bad condition slugs were inside

Good luck

nice find !

Gosh, this was a nedle in a hay stack! But we prevailed and found it.We may or may not have had photos taken of us by a local muggle who was out gardening

4 for 5 today in Matamata. TFTC

Up from the deep South for a wedding, so out exploring the area. Nicely timed for the Cosmic Quest. A quick find here, although there are plenty of hint items... And a strawberry plant growing nearby too. Thanks for the cache brass02# 3860 26 July 2024 12:32 pm

Seached rocks finally found it thankyouu , signed & put back under rock

Thanks

Quick find today on our way home from Tauranga.Thanks .

We were in Matamata to watch one of the young rattll's play football (and look after her 'mini me' while she did so).After the game was finished, and nanna duties were completed, we grabbed some local caches before heading home. This was interesting little road (we had to convince ourselves it was a road).Thankfully it didn't take very long to find the cache, thanks to some pretty good co ords. Thanks for putting this here

Thanks for this cache

Another random night mission with Reschedule. This time we decided to head to Matamata where we had a few new caches, and some older ones we had missed.Reschedule had been here previously, but wasn't much help on where this was located. So I looked all over, turned over many stones, and eventually the cache was spotted. Always a bit trickier to do these at night, especially with 1 hand holding a torch. TFTC

I just checked the cache and its all safe and sound in its place.

Not there we turned over every stone

Thank you Brass02 for a amazingly good hide in a beautiful place that tricked us.

That was easy

Tfc

Had to soul search here

My first proper geocache on our holiday to NZ. A morning walk from our accommodation to here. Found after searching a few possibilities. Cache in great condition. Tftc

Thanks found Tom Grant

I searched for ages but just can't find it

We are on a trip in New Zealand. A wonderful country with a lot of (old )caches. There are too many caches so we limit ourselves to the (old) gems or where we happen to make a stop. We found and signed this cache in good condition. brass02, thank you for this cache, regards xizat-NL. Take care, this hobby can develop to an addiction.

Second cache in a row I've found today where the cache has been left out in the open! Have hid this better now and ready to be searched for again. Thanks for the cache

Found!!

Great cache. GPS was a couple of metres off. Have dropped a trackable collected in Pukekohe. Please keep it travelling

Easy for 9+ kick (not too close to the ground

The Sassy combo with family happy new year

Found on our way to Hobbiton.TFTCHilgenerSchatzsucher

Quick find, awesome park to come across in an unfamiliar area, tftc!

Another on our town tour today. No Hobbits, but caches.

Brian zoomed right in on it TFTC! Biking around hoping our van gets fixed

A few meters of the co-ordinates -look around you

.

????

we had some time in Matamata before visiting Hobbiton. So we did a short walk on the heritage walk and could find this cache.TFTC

This one could be found easily. TftC.

Had fun hunting for this one. TFTC

Out and about around Matamata today with a brand new geocacher (insert new geocache handle here).... He's so shiny and new!Our 5th cache of the day in this rather interesting "drive thru" park. It almost felt dodgy pulling into this "street".... But you're not allowed to drive in parks.... Turns out you can, right here! Changing this Sunday stroll into a quick park'n'grab. Nice quick find by my new geocaching buddy. (insert geocache handle from above).TNLNSL Thanks brass02

Good one for the kids

Wonderfull little walk and a nicely hidden cache. Thanks

Wasn’t at the tip but good find

??

Found it

Im sure the creator of this one was laughing when they wrote the clue. A fun hunt. Thankyou for the cache

Found it shot speedy

Little fun turning over the garden, great cache

Rocks rocks and more rocks. Oh look tree

TFTC

Few minutes to find but finally got it. Thanks.

Took a little minute to find the right spot but got there. Tftc

Day 13 on our holiday in New Zealand. Today we are in the area and surrounding area of Rotorua. We also visited this tradi, found it, and signed the logbook.



***T4T$ - Many Thanks to brass02 for hiding and maintaining of this cache*** ️

Went to a nearby park an saw a cache nearby

Thank you!!

It took me about 3 minutes but it was a easy find

Lovely location. Left trackable. Tftc

Yes very good, thankfully didn't have to search for to long before finding this one, nice hide cheers

Took a good lil search but found in the end

Fun find! First log of the new year!

Wasn't too hard to find. We were looking forward to finding the butterfly knick knack to trade for an owl knick Knack but sadly it was taken and not swapped out with another item.

Easy to find. We were looking forward to finding the butterfly trinket to trade for an owl trinket, but someone had taken it and not replaced it with another item, my daughter was disappointed. Thanks cache owner.

Yay found it left a little butterfly thing.

A glorious day for caching in Matamata! All quiet at GZ, took a hunt to find. All good, tftc and Merry Xmas!

Had to use the hint, but was fun!

Nothing like turning up in a 7m bus trying to look inconspicuous. I could feel the lace curtains twitching all around. Luckily I was hidden from most to sign the log.

Found with trayc.g on day 6 of our family holiday. Today is the day we head to The Shires Rest for a tour of Hobbiton. Can’t wait!
TFTC

When we turned up we thought EEEKKK so many rocks but it only took us a couple of mins and we had unearthed the cache and approx 1 million ants and their eggs. Nice sized cache too! TFTC

Got us guessing and had help from a blackbird, leave no stone unturned

Wow soooo many rocks, but we found the right one

Found with sneakykiwi.

Found it with DopeyKiwi while taking a break away from all the stress of working through life’s end paperwork and plans while emotionally processing bereavement. Thank you for a focal point to get out in the sun and fresh air. Found TB6CDN7 and collected with the intention to relocate it when I head home. Will add an appropriate goal-oriented photo when we get one (or two or few).
TFTC

Eventually found it.

The boys decided to leave a little swapping toy in it, in case another kid comes along

Hey bud

Found it 26/09/22

Pretty garden

Good hiding spot

Found it thank you for the find

In town for a couple of nights. We enjoyed our little drive along this trail. But apparently our visit coincided with dog walking time as we had to avoid alot of dogwalking muggles. Our efforts at looking inconspicuous were unsuccessful as one dog walking couple asked if we were geocaching.
Didnt take long to find the relevant rock. Thanks for the cache.

Didn’t take us too long. awesome spot to have a Geocach

Great find in lovely garden TFTC

Took sometime to find this cache TFTC

Our first ever find! Hurray we found it! Three excited children.

I’ve been looking after this cache for years with my gran, and now I have my own account

Bring a pen

Didn’t find it.

found it yesterday was super easy and cool!

In the area for an orienteering event, so thought I would try and grab a few caches. Had never been for a drive through this park before. A nicely hidden cache.

After visiting Hobbiton this morning I met up with LNM1961 and started caching. This is the first one found. A very peaceful area. TFTC blacksam_za.

With Ethness checking out some of the local Matamata caches. We are up here to attend a family birthday party tomorrow, so being a lovely day can enjoy caching. This is a lovely park area, lots of small breed dogs are enjoying the park.

Lol searched under all the rocks and at the end found it lmao

Very good fun

Easy park and grab on this beautiful autumn day. Never knew these walks were here. TFTC!

Visiting for the Halfling Marathon. Lovely day. No log. TNLN TFTC

Our family holiday has come to an end and we are on our way home so time to stop along the way.

My heart sank a little when I saw the hint and the area but no need to worry it was easy. No paper in the container so have added some.

Thanks for the cache.

Found whilst out with keylev, laval and NZIceman.

Thanks for the cache.
