Sorry team. Nearby snoops/ Muggles have made this one nearly impossible to maintain, and we do not live close enough anymore to check on it as often as it needs attention.

Found but I wouldn't say that its waist height
 
24-Nov-19
This cache is constantly being moved and interfered with by the occupiers of the nearby building, making it very difficult for us to maintain. Sorry, but we are taking a break for a while.

As stated, an easy park and grab or, in our case, walk and grab.

26-Jan-19
Found it destroyed in the garden. We have replaced it again, but for the last time. Either muggles, staff, or other finders seem to think they can keep removing it . Sorry to the genuine players out there, but this is the 7th or 8th replacement now and we're getting a bit over it.
 
18-Jan-19
Replaced cache and magnet (again), all good to go again now folks.
We're not sure why this one is so fascinating to some folks that they need to take it away lol.
Cheers Lions.v.Lambs for the message Smile

18-Nov-18
Found by Pratchettfan, while I was still lacing up my boots.
Thanks for hiding and mainaining the cache!
 
18-Nov-18
Due to the windy and rainy weather we ended up in Invercargill earlier than planned, so we used the fact that most shops are closed for a geocaching stroll through the city.

While Feeeeeee was lacing up her boots I quickly grabbed this box.

Thanks for this Cache!

We are on a road trip around the south of the South Island. Today we traveled from Te Anau to Invercargill and Bluff. This was a quick find in a nice location. A nice cache container. A favourite point from us. We had a bit of trouble re-attaching it but got there in the end. TFTC.
 
31-Dec-17
Never knew this museum was here despite having driven and walked pasted it on many occasions... It was closed today so I had a peek in the window. Cache located quickly. TFTC!
 
30-Dec-17
After a half day of travelling and a visit to Bluff we had enough time for a nice walk through the city. We let the geocaches lead us. Ending with 11 founds.

All CO's thanks for giving us a nice afternoon and a lot of information about what we have seen.

After a few days of very intense work activities, I had one last full day free in Invercargill before I head back home to Nelson tomorrow. I headed off early for a full day out caching to see how many caches I could find. The weather was threatening but apart from a cold wind and occasional drizzle it really wasn't too bad. An interesting spot. It was closed so no one around which meant I could look for the cache in peace. All good here. TFTC, Biggles.
 
02-Nov-17
quick find and we had a look through the windows at the museum as it was closed for the day tftc
 
TFTC h2os18! It was great fun to find.

This is now cache #19 for me!

#4531. I flew into Invercargill this morning for a work trip that starts tomorrow. So had time today to do some walking around the inner city and looking for any geocaches that were nearby and muggle free. A bit of a fresh breeze blowing today but stayed fine. Good hint here made this a simple find. Good to see a different type of container. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache h2os18.

Note Wellington NZ is hosting the "Wellington Geocaching Event 2018" on 21-22 October 2018. Hope to see some southerners up there next year and give it a chance to become a Mega.
