Day one of a couple of days geocaching in the Oamaru/Duntroon area. No problems with this one. Thanks for the placement.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 3 of our 4 day trip to Oamaru and environs. The day started with a hard frost, but soon warmed up into yet another lovely winters day. The agenda today included Cape Wanbrow, Devil's Bridge plus a puzzle cache find which I needed for my final puzzle "dot" day .
We got to sign the nice new log book! No worries with getting stuck here today. TFTC.

Log book and container replaced. - Bitsprayer

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

AFter our episode with the turkey we were very cautious here, but no wildlife at this one. Found but the log so wet it is beyond signing, so we took a photo.

Log is soggy and not able to be written on any longer.

Found this one but log book was soaking wet.

TFTC log very very wet needs replaced still managed to sign

Easy pull over and find... signed but log book is very very wet. Thanks

Day 7 - of our epic adventure around amazing Oamaru. With Geofest17 and Danseys Pass and A2O bagged, we are off exploring Oamaru again
Plain sailing through here, with no water. Snag and tag along our way. Cheers

Another trip to Oamaru, driving randomly around to fill in the gaps, a few days after the OamaruGeofest which, for Taybeedragon and myself, is no where near over yet.
No water today.

Found it easily. No sign of flooding today, nice and dry. TFTC. Found with K.J.R and Gadget.

Another busy Oamaru Geofest day.
CITO first followed by some town caches.
Then tracking north to find all the ones I didn't find on Friday.
Now heading SW again to make new discoveries.
A quick find here.

The Trans Tasman Team is having a wonderful day, caching all over the place! Thanks to the organizers of the Geofest for bringing us here, and all of the cache owners for putting out so many !!!
