Big Toys (Wanaka) Luggate, South Island, New Zealand
By Guzzi Riders on 20-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4QJ9B

3 hours of exploring the toys and cars at the museum, then to top it all off with the cache. TFTC!

It's day seven of my 3-week bucket list road trip around South Island, and after heading over Arthurs Pass and down the West Coast, I'm now based in Wanaka for a couple of days.I stopped by the transport museum this morning and before doing anything else, wandered over the road and made a straightforward find here ... a nicely themed cache, well done!Thanks for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

Thanks! I like the box!

Cute!! Making our way to wanaka! TFTC

Great container and a nice little brewery nearby.

Found this one with TTO1 and TTO2 today. TTO1 and I are touring New Zealand with TTO2 for a couple of weeks and our travels brought us by this cache. So, we just had to stop and find it. Were really enjoying our visit and have been exploring lots of cool spots. Im sure that we will still have a lot that we didnt get to see on this trip, so I look forward to coming back again some time to see some more of this beautiful country. Thanks for the fun!

Certainly a fun looking spot nearby! Unfortunately, I didnt have the time to stop in today. The cache was quickly located and I loved the outer container. My name is now in the log and the cache is back well concealed as found.Thanks for placing the cache here!

Loved the cache container Great hiding spot TFTC

Easy find, awesome container! Will be a FP from me. Tftc

Awesome container, easy find. Had a cop watching me hahah

Cornered it easily. Thanks. Nice mountain view.

Visiting the big toys and had time to get this one. Tftc

This is a great one for kiss

Great container. Found 5th May 24

Very neat

Came to drop off some family and do some plane photography. A quick find at the cache location and what a cool container!Logbook signed at 10:11 Saturday, 27th April. Cache number 342, TFTC!

Cool container! Quick grab, thanks.

Found relatively easily. BIG container for swaps, yet nobody has left a thing. So sad. We added 3-4 swaps to keep things going :/

Oh my what fun!TFTC.

Good name for it thanks

Just getting around to logging the caches I found while visiting New Zealand from the U.S. with LaFavorite Cacher. We had a great time traveling around the country seeing the sights and picking up some caches along the way.We were sad to be too late to visit inside. Thank you for being a part of our adventures!Note: LaFavorite Cacher has sent in the answers for any earthcaches or virtuals required for both of us.

GeoJayne and I made our way from Lake Tekapo to Mt Cook and then on to Wanaka. It was a beautiful, sunshiny day. We didn't get as early a start as we would have liked because I hoped to see a sunrise. Nope. No luck there. That meant we made our way to the Hooker Valley Track later than we would have liked so we spent time with hundreds of new friends! LOLAfter completing the hike, we made our way to Wnaka. We stopped for several caches along the way. I may or may not have missed at least one sight we wanted to take in, but I am going to use my exhaustion as an excuse. When I read about this one, I thought it would be near the Puzzle Museum. I was wrong, but the location was great and we loved the cache container. Dropping a favorite point. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!

Different to what expected. Tftc

Very cool cache! Thanks.

Nice cache !!TftcDe Brokkenmakers (NL)

My husband and i are on holidays from BrisbAne Australia and travelling around the south island for 2 weeks. Today we travelled from Wanaka to Queenstown and stopped to pick up a few smileys along the way. This was a very cute cache and easy to spot. Just had to watch for that branch that looks like it might fall anytime. Thanks Guzzi Riders for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

checked the branch. been hanging like that for many years now.

A fun cache. Dont like the look of that precariously hanging branch. Tftc

Thanks that was a cool one. Careful though, be wary of dangerous large broken branch dangling nearby- didnt spot that til after

Noticed a large broken branch hanging right by the cache that could be pretty dangerous

Didnt take long to find. Cool container. Worth a favourite. Tftc

Quick find. Great container. Fav point.

Great hide. Found with Littleclan.

23/9/2023 Find #6590Day 15 of the Fangsoki/1MinnieMoo New Zealand South Island adventure. We were supposed to head from Queenstown to Haast and Franz Josef today however the pass was closed, so we headed up to Wanaka and then across to Christchurch for the night. To break up the drive a little, we stopped at just a couple of caches on the way. This was the first. The cache was quickly found, however the poor thing has been beaten about a bit over the years so the lid isnt exactly secured. There was no logbook, so we added an emergency one from my supplies. Thanks for the cache Guzzi Riders.

A quick find today with no-one around. Nice creative hide, showing its age a bit now though. Unfortunately we didnt have time to visit the big toys across the road today, maybe another time. TFTC Guzzi Riders.

Together with geosnuf, we are making a very nice car tour through NZ. First we visit the South Island, then the North. Some cities on the South Island that are on the program to visit are: Manapouri and Wanaka.
Besides enjoying the beautiful landscape and the friendly people, we combine our vacation with looking for geocaches. This one is one of them.
Thanks to all cache owners for the work you put into creating, placing and maintaining the caches. We often come to very beautiful places through your caches.
Thanks and cheers from NL

We enjoyed our stay in Wanaka!

After spending hours in the museum, we decided to see if there was a cache close by. Found this one quickly with Panda Dundee. TFTC

I've been tempted to do this for years, but thought it would be too hard given the exposure to Crossfire and the road. Gave it a go and a quick find. Love the container!

Hi there Guzzi Riders. A quiet day today (Anzac Day) in Wanaka, so we had a slow start before heading out - first for a couple of caches, then for a little shopping for the week. We found this cache at around 3:07:00 PM - TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Guzzi Riders for this cache - our find 9698 and the 1st of 2 finds for the day.

FieldNotes: The cache and log were both found in good condition.

Cool cache thank you

Can’t believe I nearly missed this cache. Failed in my first and second sweeps. So blind.

On my way home and getting a few caches on the way. all good with the cache. Thanks
