No longer attached to post but really enjoyed finding it!

TFTC

Wandering around Victoria Park in Waimate. Left my calling card with Wallaby. Cheers.Day 3 - Christchurch to Waimate today, with a few Geo stops along the way.Zara, Toby and I are on an adventure, heading to the Dunedin Mega with some extra days along the way. Caught up with TaybeeNZ on 22 Oct for a day caching around Christchurch. Then made my way down to Waimati for the night. Arrived in Dunedin Thursday afternoon. Beautiful day Friday to cache around Port Chalmers. Mega Day was cold, wet and miserable and Sunday not much better. Sophia arrived on Sunday for a few days. Teamed up with TaybeeNZ for next three days touring the Catlains Monday, Stewart Island Tuesday and Milford Wednesday, then started making my way home, arriving Friday Morning.

Cache is no longer tethered, but quickly in hand between muggles today, TFTC

Wish these animals weren't pests, they're cute to look at. Goid hide, thanks

Fun place. TFTC

Easy find. TFTC

Found with kakariki after a badly played round of disc golf! TFTC

Thank you for the cache, beautiful sunny day in waimate. Great cache to grab while taking the kids to look at the gardens and animals. Visited the waimate wallaby park, definitely recommend.

Staying in our motorhome at the NZMCA Park down the road. Have been meaning to come for a walk around these gardens - no dogs with me today. Nice quick find beside the wallabies. TFTC

Well hidden but easy to find. I do love this animal and bird display

Animals are so cute

How cute, stopped by after frisbee golf

Doing a quick park and grab circuit in this English wee town, tftc

Thanks

Fine tuning amendment

Looked in all the obvious and not so obvious with no luck. There had been a lot of the garden trimmed back which could have been to the caches demise.

Matthews family found it!

On a road trip nice to find and visit the animals

TFTF, Found after a game of Disc Golf

Easy find while checking out the wallabys

Nice easy find. Good to see the wallaby.

I loved the opportunity to go in and see the wallabies!

Had a good old chat to them while retrieving and returning the cache.
Thankfully it is a crappy, overcast day so not many muggles about to see the crazy lady talking to the animals.
TFTC- I had a lovely stroll around this park collecting caches

TFTC Saturday afternoon stroll with Clubrose

Out and about with vzipp. Few muggles around. Tftc

What a beautiful park! Even some flower beds were blooming colourful. And the Wallabies were funny (at least one of them. The other was sleeping). We found the cache without drawing suspicion.
Thank you very much for showing us this beautiful and peaceful place!

Great spot ! THanks for bringing me here!

Took a few moments to find but we got there in the end. Had a lovely wander in the early evening

A wander after tea and before light fails. Enjoyed the animals and birds, a very cute baby peacock sat up on a perch with mum, not sure how it managed it without flying, but no flying feathers -go figure!! Found with Lytteltonwitch. TFTC

Stealth indeed! Feeding time didn't want to scare things
