Finally gone, childs swing now close by and heaps of cut branches dumped there at the base of the trees.
I was wondering how you would hide such a big object - well done. Thanks for the placement.
Old cache found on the ground, but new container and log book tethered in position at eye level. NO Pen/pencil BYO
Another dunnas road trip caching up with kjr. On a mission along the pineapple track.time to head back into town grabbing a few along the way nice quick find tftc
Found with Granville in July. Sorry for late log, but it was a crazy Hidden creature series and as i was the driver for a lot of it, it's hard to keep up and keep track of where i was going...

FINALLY! A quiet area to cache on a morning of too many schoolchildren, council workers, wrong turns and nowhere to park gahhhh

We headed towards the GZ and gave it a decent search but the GPS was wrong. Widening the search area came up trumps and KR soon had it in hand. Awesome, onwards!
Took a wee while to find this one, the coordinates were in the middle of a grove. An easy find once we looked in the correct spot. Thanks
Kiwi Moose is in town too, so we headed off for a spot of night caching!
Queens Birthday weekend. Lets celebrate with some time in Dunedin. Today we travelled south.
Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Cheers.

Great hiding place. I really love dumb luck. It works for me most of the time. TFTC
After driving past many times, today it was time to stop and admire this attractive little reserve and a delightful cache as well. Appreciated having a pencil provided!
Nice to find a shady spot, found the clever cache then enjoyed the cool!
Thanks

As usual, barked up the wrong tree too long before listening to my GPS. Found a little red pencil on the ground which is now housed in the cache. Tftc!
Finally found this - nice quiet and quick in and out at 7am this sunday (some advantages to jet lag) dot filled.... now back to bed.
Dropped R off to hockey practice so with an hour to spare K & J headed off to find a couple of caches. Wandered around for a bit until we were finally in the right spot and then cache was soon spotted by J. Great container! TFTC
Another one in this little series. The container itself is very wet, not surprising since ex-tropical cyclone Cook came by, but the log is nice and dry.
I've had two rather brief visits and been put off by having my GPSr directing me to the middle of the grass. This time I decided to give it a real going over leaving no stone unturned. I was somewhat dismayed upon arrival to see that the place had had a major tidy up and was afraid that the cache may have gone. Again I was directed to the usual spot and so the search started. I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for and with many fewer places to look I soon spotted it. Contents are nice and dry.
As others have noted, a nearby decoy prolonged the search...but it was all part of the drizzly fun! Great container, too- the log was bone dry. TFTC.
Enjoying holidaying in the area with tmann421.
A nice quick find for us here today. TFTC

Hahaa..found it after a while. Was very put out by a look-a-like wannabe cache in a nearby tree 
A very quick and easy find. I'm surprised a muttle hasn't spotted it and taken it walk-about. Tftc.
Found with CJ-Curry, was a bit worried it would be gone as the trees appear to have been trimmed recently, but all was well. Nice container!
Hevic and I were a little worried about this one, as the trees has recently been given a makeover. However, it turned out to be a rather straightforward (and quite clever) hide. A lovely spot, thanks for bringing me here. Cheers!
Co-ords were out by about 8m for us, which put us within a reasonable distance of a half dozen trees . Some of the trees look to have had recent pruning which made us even happier when we found the cache. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
Wondered around for a few minutes before spying something a little out of the ordinary. Found with debsnz
A nice evening for a few caches. Kia ora for the cache. Found with Spydude13 and Lollipopcat.
A lot of tree trimming has happened in this area in recent weeks, and rubbish has been revealed!
Cache sitting pretty.

Found the cache container on the ground with the log lying nearby. Replaced it where we thought it should be! Nice play on words TFTC
Like everyone else, our GPS seemed most unhelpful in this area. We had an idea what we might be looking for, and eventually found it lying on the ground, with both the lid, and log missing. We found the log nearby, but not the lid. We replaced it in the nearest tree where we could find somewhere secure, as the nearest trees have had a lot of branches sawn off. Found with JuJu54, and still worth a favourite. TFTC
No luck for us today 
Many Halloween-muggles around the area this evening. Had a good look but no cache there... We'll be back one day.

Finally a cache took me to it on my ebike and I had the need to walk around and admire what is now a beautiful stand of trees.
Garmin was all over the shop, so abandoned it and did a tree by tree search, which pretty soon produced an interesting result. Neat container, although log sheet is a tad damp, hardly surprising after the last few days.
TNLN. TFTC.

GPS had me barking up the wrong tree at first. Looked a bit further afield and soon found what I needed for a smiley. TFTC
Having saved this for a rainy day, it was a perfect day to go and get it today. The grassy area was getting quite soggy, but we managed to keep our socks dry - just as well, no spare socks in the car! TFTC!!

A good pun there, thought it was a bit mossy at first, then reconsidered and got the smiley.
Found with Guwapo and Papa.

Papa and Guwapo out on a sunny winter Sunday afternoon with Woody104. Very frosty here even late on a sunny afternoon. GPS's were a little uncooperative but after some time it was narrowed down and Woody came up trumps. Salamat!
