mexteds favourite playground (invercargill) Invercargill, South Island, New Zealand
By Mexted 4 on 13-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3WPCW

Found two caches at fence. Tftc

*Removed. The GZ is put to rest.*

It was still there, quick park'n'grab in the rain, it was swimming in water and everything was sopping wet. Didn't bother to sign log just left Estonian badge. Hope it doesn't get rusty in the time it takes to get this cache unarchived and back on the circuit. TFTC
*Nailed it again. Ha I had found the lost original and found the original replacement when I returned today. No pen with me but replaced the Estonian pin to say I was here, secured back again. The old log had seen better days so I replaced it with one of my waterproofs. The old black cache got used to repair Rover 3. TFTC's.*

As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

we put a new container in this weeks ago and enabled right then and there and have checked it is still there please unarchive it

Found was missing when at playground today will replace soon

Quick find in our quest to get to 1000 by the end of the year.

I can see why the Mexted’s like this park. I found the mix of new and old, large and small homes in the area quite fascinating. Thanks for placing this cache.

Cute little playground TFTC

What a wonderful almost secret playground.

Tftc. Gorgeous day to go out explore

The log is mush and needs replacing please.
Recommend the CO replace the log soonest.

A day caching in and around Invercargill and environs. Dodging the rain, and for some parts just getting plain soaked in the pursuit of the treasure. My precious.....
A playground, yippee, and very wet under foot.
Straightforward find, but the log is mush, needs attention; cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

replaced log

Quickly spotted the Cache container...but as mentioned the log is soaking wet...attempted to etch my name though...TFTC

Log is soaking wet, needs some TLC

Co-ords were a few metres out. Log is soaking wet, unable to write on it so we took a photo as proof of find. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Spotted the hiding place quickly but the dead spider on the lid had me throwing the container in the air - all I could hear was debsnz laughing!

Wasnt able to locate. Will try again soon

Bummer

Quick find. TFTC

Visited this one previously without success but had been shifted. This time, with right co ordinates an easy find except we forgot to bring a pen so had to return to sign the log.

We agree, a very cool playground, especially the round rail slide thing. Took a bit of searching to find this one but we were happy to be the first to sign the new log sheet. TFTC [^]

A quick find this morning in chilly conditions, as we were heading out of Invercargill along the coast and up to Te Anau. Thanks markmexted.

Grabbed this one with a Kiwi and some Aussie while doing a dash around town on our last day.

I love the NZ playgrounds, much more variety than back home.

Thanks for the cache, grabbed in the wind and the rain.

5656 + 591 = 6247. Day 6 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.

Today we drove from Invercargill to Te Anau - a stunning drive firstly along the coast and then up through some beautiful country until we arrived at the gateway to Milford Sound. This was our fourth find of the day - still in Invercargill. A quick find which was appreciated !

Thanks markmexted !

TNLN – TFTC !!

Cheers....

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 had the park to ourselves this morning so a quick find, then away. Thanks Mark.

Today we were off to Te Anau, grabbing a few more caches in Invercargill before leaving. This was a quick stop and grab befoe moving onto the next. We enjoyed our time in town and hope to come back some.

The cache was found after a quick search, no problems with 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 the cache and the chance to see more of the South island.
