Have decided to archive this for now. If I can source something I will replace unless someone beats me too it.

We approached GZ and saw the cache lying on the ground out in the open. (see picture)
Does this count as a find?

oh mannnn. will source another.

Saw it out in the open as soon as we approached. We put the squished remains back where we thought it was supposed to go as you may be able to pry it open and retrieve the log (if its in there)

Very little traffic around- so was a reasonably quick find. tftc

Cachlet little fingers helped with log extraction, all good here tftc

Have replaced with slightly larger container so should be really easy now.

All good to go again

Went to replace the log book today to find that the container has been broken will need to source another. Hopefully next weekend

will pop out next wee end and replace the log.

Cache was found in this condition. No logbook and I have no paper sorry.

Quick find. Lucky I wasn't in desperate need of information... The nerd in me had a good laugh. TFTC (1136)

Found it and added some paper.

Easy find no logbook so added some paper

Found it. But no paper there? And still a lack of info

A quick find on our way back to ChCh at the end of a long caching day.

Might have had trouble getting it without md. A great day out with moneydork. TFTC

Tftc. Quick find

TFTC!

All quite here today and not much information to be found . TFTC.

Out for a drive with bugzptr on a cold and windy day, not much traffic about so a quick find

A great day, if a little cold, to be searching for this cache. Relatively little traffic and the wonderful parking bay.
Found after a quick search.

I wonder what use an information kiosk is, is if there is no information provided. Shelter from the rain perhaps. Cache was a quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Taking a while for the info to appear

Nice information booth with no information. TFTC.

Found it after looking in wrong places.

Quick find.

Easy find. Still no information

Had a longer look than we expected and came down to experience in the end. Paper still good.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Quick find TFTC

A quick cache and dash on the way to the supermarket on a Sunday morning. No-one around so able to search with wild abandon!

Needs a new log as previous one full.

went out to check this log book last weekend and there is heaps of room to write. Not sure why i keeps getting mentioned as there is 1 and a 1/2 sides to write on with atleast 40 lines. (how much room do you all need)

FYI both JustMeG and I found it safe and sound in a quickly developing area. Wonder how quickly things will change out here.

Still no info but a quick park and grab thanks needs new log book

Bit of a stretch but found it in the end

Easy peasy this time

Great day out caching, one of many found, foggy start, but soon came out hot. - Bitsprayer

Quick find on a great days caching with Bitsprayer and Erninz. Nice quick grab today. TFTC

Saw what I was looking for in this surprising facility
Thanks
erninz

This is a very nice information booth with ample parking. Pity about the lack of information.

i just zoned right in

Great easy find , thank you

Nice quick find, thanks.

Nice easy find at night after tea at the local. TFTH

Nice quick driveby as I entered the Izone. Still no information on the display board!.

a very grand entrance here - had a fabulous meal at a nearby cafe/restaurant tftc

Cats & Dragons was in town, so we decided to go do some caching... crazy numbers! However, I was also very very close to my number 4000!! So the aim was - meet up after work, get the 20 caches I need to get to the milestone, and then we go find a cool one for number 4000!! Woo Hooo!!!

We were like hmm... where will it be? and as soon as we spotted gz, it was like AHA!! There!! And sure enough, spotted without even getting out of the car - but then had to get out to sign log

Consec caching day # 480

TFTC!!

While in Christchurch I always try and catch up for a spot of evening caching with Sonia26642, as its great to cache with friends.
Tonight our specific goal was to collect sufficient caches so that Sonia could claim her 4000th cache on a particular Wherigo, so mission start.
managed to locate this one without undue hassle

TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

A nice find in a good area

TFTC

I had a good look around and couldn't see it. As I was reaching for the car door I decided to keep looking. Woo found it!! Great spot! TFTC!

A nice quick one to fill in a dot day after a dnf at the other one in here. Place has changed a bit since I lived near here five years ago. Cheers

Tricky hide! Thanks for the cache

Nice hide, blends in well; TFTC

A simple park and grab. Impressive entry way any and concrete works! Thanks for the hide.

TFTC. Waitangi Day was beautiful and I decided that it would be best spent having a look about some of our wonderful country - and doing a few caches.
It was interesting seeing the large amount of development that is taking place here.
Great cache however sadly FYI was limited as the board is currently blank!!
Thanks BBear44 for placing the cache.

Last cache with my caching buddies. A fun day out.

This area has grown quickly, didn't know such a complex existed. Still no info though!. TFTC

no go for me finding this one

Still a great lack of information! there are so many smart comments cachers could write about this site. Good one on the CO for placing a cache in what will be an interesting area someday!

Wow a lot of construction has been going on. It has been awhile since we drove back there. TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

What a nice lot of Structures around this area.Found the neat container quickly,in the most obvious place.TFTH

A nice find, I was with Dad when we found this. There was a couple of trucks but we were really quick and made the score well. there was nothing on the Information board. thank you for the cache

That was a nice quick find this. Even with a couple of truckies dealing with loads we scored the find and signed the log. No info on the board yet.

Took a couple of minutes to locate. Found by theroamingreliever tftc

Found. Tftc

Nice little hide in a place we had never seen. A pretty swept up little kiosk. Thanks.

Nice new one in my hometown. Located immediately. TFTC.

SayHelloEgg and I shared a day out searching around Rolleston. This was my very first cache find

Quick easy find.
Took some friends out with us for their first ever cache & they found this one within seconds! Thanks

5832. Fourth find on a geocaching trip to South and Mid Canterbury. Easy to spot the location and a quick find after stopping for coffee on main road. Saw the container from the car. What fantastic commercial and industrial facilities are being developed in this area. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

10 of 14 today - a quick trip to collect a TradeMe purchase and clean up the caches in Burnham and Rolleston. Sadly there were three that evaded me The coords were about 5m out but hey, there aren't many places to put it Took longer than it should but then I had that "aha, what's this?" moment. Still no info though. TFTC

The T rating gave it away. Still the 6 year old was able to replace.

Out and about on a lovely evenings caching adventure with TheWanglers. Great way to start a new year.
Nice wee hide spotted as I decamped from TWs truck. Great spot. We thoroughly approved of the sculptures at the buisness park entrance...too cool....

Took ages to find. Finaly discovered it. Coords a little bit off. TFTH&C

All quiet here today so soon had cache in hand.
Thanks

Out on a bit of a clean up mission with TG. I've been meaning to grab these for ages but been too busy. So tonight was the night. Lovely evening for a bit of caching. Spotted from the truck, quick park and grab. We were intrigued with the 'alien signalling' sculptures at the business park entrance. This was the 13 of 18 for the evening. We ended up doing a big loop from Halswell, West Melton, Rolleston, Burnham, back to Rolleston then home.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with Sevren tftc

Very few people or traffic around but the cache was again an easy spot for Chelzea. I think her cache senses have developed beyond mine now. TFTC

Two days ago TeeeRoy and I stopped here so I could mark a WP to place a cache in this untapped location!

Saw this cache published overnight, and figured that by the time I got out of bed ( a rare luxury, the time was 0740!) that FTF would surely have been knocked over by now, so decided not to rush out and chase it.

After a leisurely pre-run breakfast with the family I figured I could at least go and tick this off the list while I had my morning run. Once at GZ I spotted the cache from the car, a quick peek showed giggle ponies had only been the 15 minutes before me. Happy to be in second position, and to get a decent time for my RFLP training run this morning to boot.

Nice easy find thanks.

My 9 year old was so clever today!!

Saw this one had appeared so Mrs and Master B jumped in the car and headed out.
Cache was quickly found and we claimed the FTF!
TFTC.

Haven't been through here since the new bit was opened. Nice to have a drive around and find a cache. TFTC.

A pleasant drive with the reward of finding a cache. TFTC
