A quick find on a Saturday morning tftc.

Nice! Enjoyed this rural cache. Thanks Natalie247.

Quick find on the way to Lawrence for a camping trip, TFTC

Day 4: The Road to Balclutha Todays agenda was to get down to Balclutha where we are staying on the way to the Catlins. The route on the beautiful day took us through the beautiful Central Otago and Teviot regions, where we took in the landscapes and found quite a few caches along the way. It was a long drive but we really enjoyed the little highlights along the way thanks to the ALs and caches placed by everyone. (End of the cut and paste bit)Heres the specific log for this cache: First of many caches on the Rongahere Road. I was glad I decided to try this road to Balclutha after spotting it on Google Maps. The caches here were a nice way to break to boring drive down. This was easily found though parking was a tad tricky. TFTC!

A quick find today while travelling the path less travelled. TFTC

Oh the aroma of Indian cinnimim.Heavenly

Hidden at gl

Out to check out the new bridge at Beaumont with Mr Cat and co. This was a quick park and grab. Tftc

This one was pretty fun, was nice to stay out of the wet grass. Cache was in good condition, and we had soon signed and replaced and hit the road again, TFTC

Nice quick find

Seeing how we had little coverage and No Hint lol, I found this one after a bit of lateral thinking.
Thanks to P&Vee and Hubbies for the day trip to Beaumont.

On a mission with Mr & Mrs VDH56 to finish off these caches to Beaumont. Neither of us had full coverage so for the first time I am looking at the hints. This one took a bit of finding (the hint would of helped greatly) but Mrs VDH56 came up with the goods.

Disturbed a hawk having its lunch nearby. Cache was lying, now hanging. Tftc

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are on a wee South Island break. Today we headed up the Clutha from Kaitangata, and on up to Alexandra. Not too many people drive the road up to Beaumont, and the road has been sealed since we last drove it 25 or so years ago. A nice day for it too, with only a few light showers.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Found it it was a good dayFound it it was a good day

Missed this cache the last time in the area. Tftc

This was our first cache for today as we head to Balclutha from Cromwell.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Need 50 today for a Geocaching Licence Challenge. Thanks for all CO's placing these, especially those with safe parking. This is number 28.

Heading southeast from Roxburgh in my cachemobile locating caches that I wouldn't be able to stop at with my snail shell on behind.

Cheers for the cache.

Cache 813 Took me a little while to find this one firstly gps wouldn’t settle it’s raining and it’s dark lol I kept checking “wrong” end of fence, was ready to give up and it showed up in the torch light WAHoo, cache is in great shape T4TC

And another one bites the dust. Cheers

Thursday 12 November. Its exploring the Clutha River today to Beaumont and back down to Lawrence. Lets get moving Toby.

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

Found with Scott

Quick find. Good hint. TFTC

For information on Geocaching during Covid19 in New Zealand please visit www.wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/New+Zealand .

Note: geocaching is not allowed under Level 3 or 4.

Please note, not everyone logs as they go, so please approach this cache as if it has just been found, take care and keep up good social distancing and hand hygiene.

As the country enters a 4 week lockdown, it is strongly recommend that whilst we go for a walk for exercise, we need to take care on shared surfaces by avoiding them (this includes cache containers).... to remove temptation, I am disabling this cache. Remember there is more than physically finding a cache, there are plenty of puzzle caches you can do at home. For more info or connect with wider community see Geocaching New Zealand on Facebook.
Stay home, stay safe and save lives.

good hide, found ok.

quick find all good here tftc

Took me a while but found in the end. So peaceful here. TFTC

Headed out today to pick off a bunch of caches alongside the mighty Clutha, as part of a last-minute effort to grab the final souvenir for the Museum challenge. Again, a straightforward find in a sneaky spot. Once again was unsure how weird I looked, though I'm (retrospectively) beginning to think that the only creatures that thought I was weird were... well, creatures. Livestock gave me some very funny looks throughout the day. Cheers!

Took a while to work out which end.

On a caching day trip with Central Otago Hilton

Found on a sunny ANZAC day cruise. Probably 30 years since we last went down this road.

Passing by this cache as I headed to Alex to go to some maintenance on discovering gold, then the plan was to go back home via clydevale to check on some of those caches on the trail.
All good here.

Today I was driving from Tapanui in Central Otago, through to Dunedin, stopping to find a few caches along the way. This cache was found along the way. TFTC! (Apologies for my log being over 4 months late!)

Found it. Tftc

TFTC found w theroamingreliever

Recent floods in area, in particular the River Clutha means this cache could be in poor condition or missing. I am unsure if can make it before Christmas to check on it. Please do not do a throw down... but emptying water or adding in new paper would be rewarded with good karma thoughts from this CO.

Another easy find

After dropping geokids off at a camp...lets go caching!!!!
Ahhh bliss.... adult time!!!
Sitting in the navigator's seat, telling downsouthinv where to go, what more could a girl ask for!!

Quickly spotted once I looked at the hint
TFTC Natalie

Quickly found and signed. TFTC Natalie247

Deze week heerlijk kunnen genieten van deze prachtige streek waar wij natuurlijk veels te kort van kunnen genieten. We hebben alle caches redelijk goed kunnen vinden, sommige wat moeilijker.

We willen alle CO’s hartelijk bedanken om ons dit mooie landschap te laten zien en natuurlijk voor de caches die verstopt zijn.

Even op Familie bezoek.
Ook tijd gemaakt om een aantal caches te doen.

Bedankt voor het laten zien van de mooie plekjes
in dit mooie land.

A quick find today.

Looks like this had a past life as a gate but a less tiring job now in its retirement. TFTC # 12,168

This was on the river side of the road..

Found with Spydude13 and Lollipopcat. Kia ora for the cache

East find, because it was sticking out like a sore toe at shoulder height! Coords miles off, though.

Took a lovely weekend drive up through Heriot and Beaumont, before following the Clutha river down to Clydevale and heading home. We enjoyed all the caches we did on the way, thanks for the hide

Quick easy find. TFTC

Been meaning to do the Beaumont --> Balclutha run for a while, today was the day. A series of well hidden, easy finds. Thanks.

There had been some serious hedge cutting around this cache and we were a bit worried but there it was safe and sound.
TFTC

I drove up to make a start on this line of caches and i am now finally logging them.
I had past up this road only about a week before on way to Balclutha but i hadn't done my home work on what was here and on that first trip we didn't have time to stop much so i opted for the further afield caches. These were all a quick easy finds except perhaps the The road end here cache as my Gps wanted me to 'enter' the pond/mud a little beyond the actually cache site which i found with reading previous logs. Also at the hanging cache my Gps didn't want to settle and again the name and previous logs helped out here. Thank you for these caches and maybe another time i will get further along the road.

I picked off a few "park 'n' grabs" down this road to extend my trip, making the drive over Mahinerangi worthwhile. Thanks.

I believe this cache is ok following heavy rainfall over last 48 hrs, however roads in the area have been affected. A state of Emergency is still in place - for upto date info on roads go to www.dunedin.govt.nz/road-conditions
A large portion of my caches have been in affected area and I am currently through work/voluenteering have to focus on other post flooding activities.
As I expect it will be at least 1 week until I can do effective maintenance runs to check and replace caches I apologise now if you were hoping to claim this for a dot day/Mary Hyde gold and it is not in its expected state.
I would be grateful for any comments on what needs to be done and help empty water and provide dry logs.

A quick easy find, although the cache is micro, not small. TFTC

Found a park in gateway and found the con kinda just hanging there. SL though if it was meant to be hidden somehow, that part has been broken off. hohum, left it sitting behind maybe not visible. TFTC

Had to check other logs for some hints, very helpful.
TFTC

Took us a moment to find this one. After a brief and unsuccessful search, we stood back and reconsidered our approach. Straight to it second time around. A quiet wee spot, lovely in the rain. Tftc

Having a lovely picnic amongst the most stunning scenery. and finding a few caches around this lovely road.Thanks for the excuse to visit. And for the well maintained caches.

Out for a day catching up on some finds . TFTC

Took a little while until we located the correct end of the hint, TFTC

Heading to Central for the weekend so a wee detour was in order to make a start on another of Natalie's series caches. A beautiful drive along the river on a lovely sunny spring day. Nice quick find and off to the next. TFTC

Late night find. Tftc

This took a wee bit longer than park and grab, but not much ! Thanks.
