Urgently needs to be checked out as nobody has found it since it was replaced. If not there it needs replacing and a note on the cache page as to what the status is. The other option is to archive it.

Searched with i-gotit today. When we found it years ago the cache was on top of/inside the hide spot - looked at all possible places on harbour side/inside of the hide spot and got only scratches. Am sure it's gone - needs replacing or archiving. CO hasn't responded to a NM in January.

Friendly neighbour likes my snaplock containers.
Sorry for no reply have replaced 4 times now, wonder what he is up to in the big white house.
Happy caching

Unfortunately we didn't check for recent logs before searching for this one without success. Pretty sure the cache is no longer here.

Sad day

Searched for a while to no avail.

Had a good look around, admittedly at night but there was only one car went past. I couldn't see anywhere to hide a "regular" cache within the GZ zone.

no luck today. had a quick look around, but too many sunday-driver-muggles around to have a good look. We'll be back

Called in a month back and replaced cache,
However it is around the harbor side now.
New neighbours will be tricky to hide from.

Didn't find it- run of bad luck

No luck here either. Saw a photo and thought we would have found it so is it still here?

Had big team on this one but didn't find it

Cache hasn't been found for about 9 months - we couldn't find it today - perhaps the CO could check it ?

Out for a Sunday afternoon walk and decided to grab this one. Not too hard excepting the stream of Sunday arvo drivers. TFTC

A nice find as I make my way around the lower South Island

TFTC

GPS really not much use today but found it with some detective work

A good chance to see the white house close up. Found on our bike ride into town. The GPS was having a few issues here, but we searched and eventually found.

TB out coin copy

TFTC dropped of a tank and took a robot

TFTC LEFT TB

Quick find, though the thorns made it a slow retrieval

tftc. Dropped bumblebee in the container.

Soon had cache in hand Thanks ingidayna 4TC:)

I went straight for the bus stop and then realised there was nowhere to hide in the bus stop.. Didn't take long to discover it though. Found a wee Dolphin TB to rehide - maybe somewhere near the sea?

Took longer than it should have. Had to work around passing cyclists and a couple launching their kayaks. TFTC

All goods here

Quick find with GPYess on a visit to Dunedin from Christchurch. GPYess found it first. TFTC!

Walked around this one for a while, then there in was. TFTC #597 14th day caching in a row.

Oops had forgotten to log this one Found with jrb5050 TFTC

Not found.

PC Sniff didn't even has his GPS with him, but he still found this before me!

no luck here for us today, beautiful old house in need of repair, could be a lovely spot

Down for a weekend of study at Otago University. This cache was down the road from where we were staying. Have now got two extra fans for geocaching. The white house is up for sale and we did contemplate what each of us would do to the house if we brought it. TFTC//

With Sonia 26642 Back logging now for all my previous finds over the last 9 months....

I was in dunedin for the weeked visiting mum, and getting a bit of caching in.

Another that mum had already got, but we were driving past. So parked on the yellow lines... If there is a responsible driver in the car ready to move it, it's totally ok! And mum was staying in the car since she had already found it.

Nice and easy, rocked on up, and found it instantly! Oh yeah! Nice to see such a huge one! But pity that every time I find something decent sized, I forget my TBs at home! Pfft... haha. I seem to just have an ever growing pile of ones that need to be put somewhere! (And mum always passes on her un-placed-back-in-a-cache- TBs to me!! Pfft!! Hahaha ).

TFTC!!

Found with supercat and superdog. No sign of the trackable. TFTC.

Cool place to hide a geocache!

TFTC

Finally found this one. Tried doing it without my gps while running or biking but failed. No pen in cache so will be back to sign it asap. Thanks!!

Couldn't find when in Dunedin for the mega but turned up in 1 minute todays, sometimes its like that.

Found it but the Trackeable wasn't there!!

simple find good for learners

Found last night with teenagers who got really excited when they found it, who needs X-box!! Left a mushroom pencil sharpener/Eraser have takenTravel bug keyring, heading up to Auckland shortly for a family re-union and will drop off there. Fab find

A pretty quick find of a nice sized cache. Thanks! +TB -TB

Grrr , didn't find it but will be back aye Cat-e-bear!

was tricky avoiding muggles just took patience

Found it! TFTC

Found it. TFTC

Nice location

One of the more interesting spots on the Peninsula. Others crossed from the city and landed near here on their way to visit the Waverly Zoo and gardens. This area also had a red light district reputation attracting miners who returned from the Otago Gold Fields. The light has gone out and there is no trace of the Zoo left.

Leaving Dunedin with a drive around the peninsula. Some lovely views and caches along the way.

Third cache for the day found with friend's children on return trip from Broadbay. They too had a keen interest in this house and the older child had the pleasure of finding this cache. Thanks for the info, what a great site this house has and it'll be interesting to see it developed in the future (i hope).

This is a busy street, wonder what people think as they drive past and see people wandering around aimlessly poking at things. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Had looked for this one before but GPS was pointing across the road, however today co-ords were spot on. Found with debsnz

Easy find after the GPS took us the wrong way. Coordinates were spot on.TFTC

Found by me, not the others TFTC

Was in Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 8 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 5 of the road trip. This was our last day of caching in Dunedin region and we wanted to go back out to the Peninsula and pick up a few more caches.

After finding GC3G70G - Sports Anyone? (Dunedin), this was the next cache that we had on our list that we wanted to pick up on our way around Portobello Road, as we making our way around the Peninsula, there is definitely some very expensive houses around here.

Making our way towards GZ, as we neared GZ we managed to find a parking spot not too far away from GZ and it was a short easy walk across the road to GZ and it only took a few seconds to find the cache, we were lucky as we used the hint as our GPS was point to a very different location. Managed to retrieve, signed and replaced the cache back as found.

Thanks ingidayna for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, really enjoy the view of the White House of Dunedin. TFTC TNLNSL (5112).

The cache was quickly found using the hint while the gps had us some distance away. TFTC

Found as part of an 8 day NZ Mega Event trip. Day 5 - Our last full day in Dunedin which was mainly filled in by another trip out on the peninsular and a stroll on Flagstaff hill. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Came here with fozzmiester, -gonefishing- and Yeetrees on a pleasant morning drive out on the Peninsula and back. The cache was a quick find - signed log, TFTC!

Found on the great post-Mega roadtrip with agcnz, fozzmiester and yeetrees. A great trip from Otago to Wellington, taking in many backroades and some fantastic scenery along to way to over 400 caches. Thanks to all the cache owners for the great caches we found on the way.

Thanks for the cache, ingidayna.

In Dunedin from Whangarei with flowernz for the MEGA having a great time finding some of the south caches. Really enjoying the locations the caches are taking us to. Heading out to the Peninsular today before leaving later tonight. Interesting history behind this house being here, shame it looks very neglected now. Found cache after a bit of a search. TFTC

Our last day caching in and around Dunedin with tikitour - today it was the peninsula's turn...
This house seems to me to have awesome potential for one of those classic do-up grand design programmes
and it would be beautiful.
Put the log book into a bag for extra protection - TFTC

TFTC.

During our 22 day trip in new zealnd we have found a daily bunch of caches

We have done all of them with the four belgians - fieldi, team cabdriver, fonduvork and me.

Thanks for all the great places we have been visiting during this caching trip!

Grabbed this one while on a run through the area with my Australian (and one kiwi) companions.

This took us ages, however SolDeLune came up with the goods, thinking laterally.

Thanks for the cache, impressive stack.

Another cool spot on our peninsula cache raid. TFTC

Another neat little find as we headed out towards the peninsula and the lighthouse. A wet day on our tour, but we manged to make the find. The lighthosue ended up being out of reach which was a little disappointing, but the drive was still worth it.

Found with ZsaZsa7, Winglen, fitzy_1965 and Rextrex (local NZer) on our trip around the South Is after attending the New Zealand Mega. We managed to grab a few caches on travels and this was just one of them.

Thanks for this one, another one to the tally.

Hmmm, after searching the 'other right' for quite a long time and feeling rather exposed to the passing traffic, one of our group crossed the road and had the cache in no time. Thanks inqidayna.

5499 + 591 = 6090. Day 3 of my week long visit to the New Zealand South Island for the NZ Mega 2012 event along with Sol de Lune, Zsazsa7, Winglen and RexTrex.

A general run from Dunedin out to the Peninsula and back caching. Spent a bit of time here - and then the other right side was searched for the find. Thanks ingidayna !

TNLN – TFTC !!

Cheers…

What an awesome place, so much potential. Shame there's little parking around it would make a great restaurant. Found with Emvy_us on day five of our southern tiki tour while attending the Dunedin Mega. TFTC

Found during 'The Gangsters' trip to New Zealand, being Big Matt, The Rats, steeba and myself.

The coords on this one were way off but after reading the previous logs we were able to find it in the end.

Thanks ingidayna for the cache.

A shared find with my Aussie caching mates Winglen, Zsazsa7, Sol de Lune and Fitzy-1965 as a part of the NZMEGA2012 experience and our subsequent tour.

We carefully searched the 'other' right before the find was eventually made. An interesting snippet of history, thanks ingidayna.

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. Used the suggested co-ords to find this one. TFTC

A wet morning kept the muggles away - found without any problems, thanks.

Sorry this update is to late for the Mega. Had no idea it would cause so much problems. Disapointing to think some cachers would think it is in a garden instaed of a common hiding place.
Updated now. Happy caching

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

This one took us a little while to find as we were searching in the wrong place for way too long.
Thanks

Our 6419th overall find.

Found on the "Gangsters" NZ Mega 2012 trip with steeba, The Rats and Farmer Frentzen. This was a tough one, the GPS sent us up a well wrong path but the cache was eventually found some distance away.

Thanks ingidayna for the cache. Stats for our trip can be found here http://www.campersdownunder.com.au/geocaching/NZTrip/stats2.html

This cache needs some accurate coordinates. The ground cover nearby is showing signs of wear.

Vandaag onderweg naar Nugget Point naar ons volgende verblijf
Onderweg enkele leuke cachekes meegenomen
Deze was er eentje van
Fieldi

thanks for the informative history trip

Found as part of the Gangsters- The Rats, Farmer Frentzen and Big Matt and Shell- as part of our NZ Mega Event Tour 2012.

This one was a bit of struggle and we were looking in many places before The Rats got there. TFTC!

Quick grab and sign in the yucky weather.

first large one in days.. thanks!

Out and about with Darby&Joan. We were actually heading back to our motel, but when we saw other cachers here, we decided to stop. They had already been searching for awhile, so we decided to widen the search area a bit before giving up. They went one way around and i went the other and got to GZ a few seconds ahead. Lovely large cache. TFTC

Cache number #165 during the Mega expedition to the South Island. Lucked in here as others had already done the hard yards. TFTCSL

Out on a MEGA caching run with Karma Reprint and Team Gators. Spent a while here but managed to finally get our hands on it. TNLN Thanks
