Awesome spot for lunch

Nice quick find thanks for hiding a cache here

DNF

Nice spot on a beautiful, but couldn't find it even with using the hint

Straight forward

Somewhere new to explore with the family

Checked and all good

Enjoyed coming here. Quick find

Happy with a nice quick find

Found it TFTC

A lovely area to visit. If it wasn't for caching I probably would never visit the spot. Thanks for placing.

#18310. There were a few hint objects to choose from, but it didn't take long to track down the cache. We enjoyed exploring the area. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 3 of our 4 day trip to Oamaru and environs. The day started with a hard frost, but soon warmed up into yet another lovely winters day. The agenda today included Cape Wanbrow, Devil's Bridge plus a puzzle cache find which I needed for my final puzzle "dot" day .
A quick find for SW while I checked out the wrong place. TFTC.

Thank you for bringing us to this amazing little place. Plenty of birds to watch, and peaceful surroundings. Of course we had to go and get the more challenging ones, didn't we?

Quick find. Saw Devil's Bridge on the map and looked interesting. Will wait and see.

No reception up here. Will download and have another go up here

TFTC lover this spot

TFTC quick find in this lovely spot

Nice wee find thank you! Wasn’t going to go looking today but after my 3year old cried to go geocaching I thought why not. Thank you

TFTC. Found with K.J.R and Gadget.

Another busy Oamaru Geofest day.
CITO first followed by some town caches.
Then tracking north to find all the ones I didn't find on Friday.
Now heading SW again to make new discoveries.
A quick find here.

Up in Oamaru for day #2 of the Oamaru geofest. Out with Sirbennis and KJR grabbing lots of caches. TFTC

Sunday morning should be at church.. Yeh Nah ! Let's go and see Satan .
Its been raining in hell log soaked have replaced And dried out container tftc

As the rain started to fall... others called it a day. But i still had my cache pants on... wanting to get a few more under the belt. Phone had no signal so couldn't read description or hint, although quickly found. Agree with previous DNF'er, a Cito could do wonders here. Signed as TTT.

The Trans Tasman Team is having a wonderful day, caching all over the place! Thanks to the organizers of the Geofest for bringing us here, and all of the cache owners for putting out so many !!!

In Oamaru for the Geofest.
Day #2 out and about with Gadget169 and sirbennis.
Nice quick find. TFTC

Wet log book. Needs replacing. Photo if required

Couldn't log as book was saturated

Found whilst on the geofest race. What a great race.

Neat spot. Log soaking wet but just managed to initial. Tftc

A very wet log book. Tftc

what a beautiful quite spot and the log book is saturated and needs replacing but managed place my monogram tftc Mr bitsprayer

Cache checked and all good.

Unfortunately there is a lot of shit at GZ and as I was looking around I got a fairly decent gash on my right hand from the not of rusty wire I there .. I know how to seristrip and bandage (so does Mrs abxt350) .this cache site could probably do with a bit of CITO work before I come back.

Found after a a few looks here and there without the hint at first. TFTC

There are plenty of cache like containers around GZ.It took a bit of looking to find the real cache. Of course it was in the first place I looked. Must look more thoroughly next time. The lake is looking a lot more weedy since the last time I visited. Cheers

Bother the weather. Showers off and on all day, gumboots a must! Had a great couple of days caching too, though slightly wet at times.

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Full log to come

What an idyllic spot - the green grass, the last of the autumn yellow still on the , the sheep in the paddocks and ducks on the pond. Took a while before finally finding it in a place already searched but not well enough. TFTC #8821

Didn't know this lake was here, lots of birds around today

By chance 16/4/16

Wow! amazn views. Made my son's day...got a cap gun to swap and I got a real pirates coin. So much fun!!!!!

Found it at a great lake with black swans and various varieties of ducks. M went back to car to get lunch bags as this looks like a great spot for lunch.

Another found for us during our trip arround New Zealand. Tftc from Switzerland

Robertson's on a mission. Found.

Nice quick find. TFTC.

Easy find, a nice little lake for the ducks.

I was surprised at how big the lake is, and the sheer number of ducks!

A day Geocaching in North Otago from Dunedin. Aiming to achieve 30+for my second highest one day total. Having to move to other places further North to get a better runs of Park and Grabs. 17/20 #873

This was another one that was found in a place that geograndad swore he had already looked at. Found with debsnz

A lovely wee reserve, lots of Black Swans here today.
Thanks for making me stop and explore.
Have a tick.
TFTC

Checked out today and all still good.

DNF. Was in the area with Mrs Yeetrees trying to do a few caches around the outskirts of Oamaru and this was one of the caches that we had on our list to do. After a couple of DNF in the Devils Bridge walkway we decided that we needed a short break an had some lunch while we enjoyed the views over this lovely spot and watched the ducks swim around the lake quite happily. After finishing lunch we drove around to the next entrance to this lovely walkway arriving near GZ we managed to find a carpark at the entrance of the walkway and it was a short easy stroll to near GZ, but after arriving at GZ and after a quick search we came up empty handed, what a lovely spot, but it wasnt going to be our day today , another DNF in this lovely walkway and this was 3 out of 3, not good maybe this spot wasn't willing to reveal it caches to us today, oh well will leave this one to the next time I am in the area, thanks for bringing me to this lovely spot.

Tftc and brInging us to yet another great pkace

We enjoyed the day caching in this area

Tftfun

So many caches done to remember all, but got a kick out of all that we found (0ver 600 in 8 days)

Found as part of a great day in and around Oamaru. Still reckon this is the best caching area I have ever encountered. Original standard set by Bitsprayer, but now a few others adding to the story. Many thanks to all!

Found it, tftc.

Was quite chilly today. But we did some geocaching anyway. Stopped by the Devil's Wetlands and took a stroll. Visited by TB453N7. TFTC

Missed the first park so parked in the second park to discover we were close to this cache. With a new stile under construction as we closed on GZ was a little worried but all well. Plenty of waterfowl.

Really enjoyed my visit to this area - is what geocaching is all about!

SL TFTC

Cool spot. some passion going in here. they may not approve, but added a toy gun so some kid can "shoot" the birds !!

Awesome cache, had a great time. TFTC.

A nice, easy find to begin our cache hunt in the Devil's Wetlands, thank you!

Nice encouraging one for the first find for the day.

Thanks for bringing us here!

Definately a bit easier to find than the other two in the area. TFTC

On a caching trip with ingidayna to Oamaru and surrounds to get 1000 finds. Took TB. Nice spot. TFTC

I really like this area. one of many to get 1000 caches TFTC found with wethreefourdices.

Nice easy find. Thanks.

Another place we would never have seen if not for geocaching. And I thought appropriate to drop a Moa Tb! TFTC

Got this one OK, but decided the others better be done with daylight and some energy... I'm on my last legs.
Thank you for placing this cache.

A quick easy find at this location we have visited before, although the pathways have become considerably overgrown, especially with thistles, since our last visit. TFTC

+ Lucky the Frog TB
- Green Mountain Jeep TB

Quiet peaceful place with lots of birds around including swans TFTC.

This was the only find on Devil's Bridge, but we come back! A firmer nearby was hunting, hope he did not aim in our direction. TFTC

TFTC

3830. All quiet and peaceful around her today. There was just a gentle ripple on the lake with a few swans taking their cygnets for a glide around the water.
We left a Jeep TB.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Lots of birds to gaze at today, didn't know it was here!

All quiet here when I arrived just before 10am. I guess that all the duck shooters were here much earlier. Nice lake and walking pathways.

Plenty of ducks on the pond making lots of noise. Nice location overlooking the lake. TFTC

No birds to watch Shooting guns nearby

birds hiding today men playing with there guns nearby

nice area

Last cache for a long day as we made our way to Bitsprayers for the evening. Cheers Gav [7566]

Our final find on our way to cache central for the eventing. TFTC.

nice day for a walk.

A nice evening for a wee walk and evidently kayaking too as there were quite a few on the shore further down. Far enough away that the discovery was made in peace.
Thanks
erninz

After the caches of the last few days this makes a change a quick park and grab.

Thanks Bitsprayer

*FTF* Love the peace of this area. Nice hide - a lot of distractors to choose from and put one off the game? In TB
