A Nice place?? (Otago) Kaitangata, South Island, New Zealand
By AdventureTharon on 18-Mar-13. Waypoint GC47XNE

Hi AdventureTharon

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

No luck for us here either unfortunately

No joy. It is a bit thick and it is a real rubbish dump so I gave up.

Another DNF for today. Got all the numbers but no cache.

Got the needed numbers and went to final was like hunting in a rubbish dump no luck will add to try again list another day

A bit of a scramble to find the actual container but got there in the end. A well-kept cemetery (apart from GZ), and quite a fair bit of history here. TFTC

Some parts of this place are nice, others not so nice. Dakotacats did all the hard work finding the container with this one - it was a pretty messy spot. TFTC

The area could definitely use a CITO found after an extensive search signed the log replaced as found TFTC

Tftc,found looks like locals use this area to make a mess

Just a quick trip to Dunedin for youngest grand daughter's 3rd birthday bash. Lots of fun catching up with all the grandchildren. And time for a couple of caches on the way home.

found the weight points quickly but took a little while to get myself into the correct place to quickly spot the cache.
Another lovely cemetry.

Nice multi. Tidy cemetery. Final a quick find. TFTC

Couldn’t find , had a mean look and still couldn’t find

Bit of scrambling round bases, finally found. Was a well hidden cache, clever. Multi was nice and quick too. tftc
**Picked up a TB which could well have been lost forever due to someone who spends most of her time couch logging and not travelling TBs and thinks it clever (NOT) to dismiss the protocols of TBs due to not logging them in or out of caches.

I decided I needed to do a geocaching mission. I thought I would head to Kaitangata and visit my grandfather at his final resting spot then start caching all the way back home. So when I looked at the map this multi was right here where Grandad is... perfect! Took a little bit to find the answer to question 2. But got there. Found the cache but can’t believe the rubbish round the area. Beautiful horses next door... which belong to my cousin. TFTC

Got there and saw 3 people wandering around looking at phones. Politely asked who they were looking for in case same as me. Not the case so left them to it. They were still looking when I left.

Nice hide.

Got all the coords and answered the questions. Could not find the cache when got to the gz though. Hopefully I'll go back with some extra help another time.

A nice quick multi in this beautifully kept cemetery.

Last weekend before high school goes back... so any excuse is a good one, to head off the main road into the wilderness to find us some caches.
Interesting to read about the sad history.
Well maintained cemetery, a credit to the local authority.
TFTC

The last weekend of school holidays. On a nice weekend to found this one. A beautiful ceremony.
Found with Annielin and Downsouthinv
Tftc

After a long hot week and the last weekend of the school holidays we decided a road trip was in order so where to go.?????
So here we go inland east cost .
Inland from Mataura and down roads we have not been on .
First stop Owaka and then let's see where we end up.
Got to WP s and got need info worked out cords for the final and soon had the cache in hand sl and returned.
A lovely spot.

Thanks once at the correct hint object obvious place. Didn’t have any luck in town so good to find this cache. Taking the long way to Dunedin from Balclutha. Have been down completing my second parkrun for today with my youngest son.

A nice and easy cemetery multi. I do like these ones. TFTC

A big cemetery here. Very interesting read about the mining disaster. TFTC Adventure Tharon

Still good to go.

Watch out for the dead cat!

We'll be back. Taking us too long to figure out. Hubby is hungry

An informative multi and clever hide.

A nice little multi. Final took a few minutes longer to locate than what it should have. Took the TB.

Cache quickly found having visited the given coords and found the rather sad information. The surroundings however were peaceful with wonderful views for the residents! Pleased to find this one to keep our streak of a multi find each day to hopefully qualify for a challenge cache later on in our trip! Many thanks
Travelling around the world with Dartmoor Deliverer to help her celebrate taking early retirement!

NB Dont forget our Devon UK Mega 2017 this August in the beautiful East Devon area of our county. UK Megas are over one week full of events and geocaching - a wonderful way to enjoy our county!

Out with Red Roaming on our tour of New Zealand. logs signed with initials or full names.
What a lovely little multi although such a sad accident.

Heading back from Wangaloa through Kaitangata this afternoon, we stopped to check out this Nice place. Visited both WPs and got the required numbers. Calculated the final GZ and set off to find the cache. Thanks.

This is a 'nice place'. The multi-solver had some co'ods in no time and cache was plotted to pick up on pass-by. Tidy place and no complaints from the residents once we discovered what side we had to be on. Goods nice and dry and watched as sparkly fish dropped in. TFTC

Another quick and easy armchair solve and cache was a hoot to walk down in the heavy fog. Noice camo and deserving of a sparkly TB drop away from the muggled town cache. No other notes mentioned so cache is in supa-tip-top condition not to warranting any side notes. Could hear hoof beats in the fog and gloom and assume they are the horses nearby and not zebras lol. TFTC

Merry Christmas Eve to you.

I'm still pushing on to reach my new years resolution (2000 finds by 11.59pm 31st Dec 2016), this is one of the ones I found today to bring me below the 200 to go mark.

All in good condition.

Holidaying in the area with tmann421 and collecting some caches along the way. Had a great trip and thoroughly enjoyed the views and history of the area.

Okay so I think I am now officially removed from multi solving by tmann as my first set of co-ords had us heading in the complete opposite of the final. A quick return and re-check of the multi answers then had us heading right to the final where we made a quick find ... phew! TFTC

Another good find with Just-Lookin.
Really enjoyed the drive around finding caches in this area.

Quick multi - although we did spend quite a bit of time searching in the wrong direction!

#37 on a 3 day weekend of geocaching adventures down South. A quick easy multi and found by J. TFTC

A quick easy multi out with ingidayna. Nice came TFTC

Not a bad final testing place. Trees have been trimmed hope cache lasts the cleanup. Found with wethreefourdices. TFTC

After a good days work, I went for a pre dinner drive and picked p a few smilies, this being one of them.
All quiet at GZ though some horses were inquisitive.

Cheers.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Great find! Thanks!

Gathered the required info (although I had a 'feeling' of what the real co-ords would be) and sure enough, co-ords were spot on. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Nice camo but it didn't fool us. Found with debsnz

found at the second attempt thanks to Hannah

No luck this time. Spent 20+ mins looking with no luck.Will have to check my coordinates next visit.

Not only a nice place but also a very interesting one. Enjoyed reading the history and a wander round. TFTC #7190

A few rellies of mine here. Took longer than expected to find final. But got it eventually. Tftc

Another cemetery multi - I love them. My GPS must have known this as it took me on a bit of an extra tour, but the WP was found as soon as it settled down. The final was nearby and a bit easier. Thanks.

Came down to Dunedin for the weekend - mostly for the event, but also to catch up with the family
Had a great weekend caching all round the city, getting caches that have been published since my last visit, as well as a few puzzles that I had time for.

After the extra hour event, mum and I went night caching! We came down Balclutha ways, as this was one of the few areas mum hasn't already cleared out nearby!!
This was found after light though. On the way back through to Dunedin.

Easy multi. Answered question at waypoint one, then took an educated guess, and found the cache! Quick and easy!!

Consec caching day # 518

KAITANGATA.

The touch of God is on the chord which runs
Through all humanity from heart to heart;
The Hand Divine, that holds the stars and suns,
Strikes on love's string, and inner voices start,
Proclaiming we are each of each a part.

The priest of Nature may expound this truth;
Affictions are but solemn lessons read
To mortals; Science still is in her youth---
The living gain their knowledge through the dead;
All human suff'ring points the road ahead.

It may be so; anon we'll learn that text,
But now the widows' and the orphans' eyes
Are following from this life to the next
Loved spirits torn away from dearest ties,
And God to us is speaking through their cries.

He calls on us to succour those in need;
We're bound together in a common bond.
Faith's purest action is a nobler deed;
Hope's truest anchor is a helping hand;
Love is the key that opes the doors beyond.

A few short days ago, and those who rest
Held this poor lease of earth which now we hold;
The pulse of life beat strongly in each breast---
Ah! 'tis the same old story often told,
We know not when the spark may leave the mould.

Oh! brothers, there are weary hearts to-day,
And cheerless homes, where sorrow sits in gloom;
And lonely weeping ones, who can but pray,
"Thy will be done," whilst bowing to their doom,
And longing for the meeting 'yond the tomb.

Not ours to change the mystic second-birth,
Not ours to bring the loved ones back again,
But ours to do our duty upon earth,
By succouring the mourners who remain;
To them we're linked in sympathetic chain.

To-day Humanity's resistless breath
Sweeps through the creedal barriers and brings
Us altogether to the Church of Death---
The common fold of toilers and of kings:
And charity broods o'er with outstretched wings.

To-day the pure Christ-Spirit from above
With warm vibration thrills through every soul;
To-day we owe a sacred debt of Love;
To-day our Father claims a special toll
At gates which lead to Hope's eternal goal.

Yes this is a nice place to look around.TFTC.

Good multi & pleased we got co-ords right as we were all getting wet. Caching with 10grands & having a great time. TFTC

Probably appropriate for Tharon to put a cache here as "Kai" has probably contributed quite a few clients for his place of work! Was last here (on caching business too) about two years ago and that huge great communications tower wasn't there then. What an eyesore. The horses were very friendly. One wanted a pat. TFTC.

Quick cache, on a wee detour - Bitsprayer

One of the better places visited today at least it was sheltered.
Thanks
erninz

Nice little cemetery multi. TFTC

Found at 2:46 PM
A nice puzzle and a good hide.

TFTC AdventureTharon

pipedream

An interesting puzzle which we had solved in advance, although we later realized there was an easier solution. Despite the coordinates being accurate, it took us a while to locate. TFTC

Got the numbers had a walk around and then went to GZ, no luck after a 10 minute hunt.
Still a good history lesson. I'll be back another time.

Went out lunch and on way home thought we would stop for this one. Great day for Geocaching.

Ftf @ 1000 nice spot cheers
