Tftc!

i always worry when seeing how far from the ground a cache is, this one was well within my reach, the sky wants to fall but isn't yet, tftc

I have shifted my snail shell to Taieri Mouth. I have never visited here before. I decided to travel north picking up the caches on the way.No rain yet today, so the sky isn't falling yet.Cheers for the cache, Natalie247.

TFTC. Quick find

Cute cache. In good condition

Cute! Great little find

Finally stopped raining. Cute container.

Outnabout with Chamad, Snickersallan, Ardom & Bluewattle on my first ever trip across the ditch. Log signed as QLD+1 to save some space. After a week of caching around Brisbane and at events last month with other Geo friends, I couldnt pass up the opportunity to hop on board for a NZ Mega adventure. Another great day for caching. TFTC Natalie247

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 56 - Dunedin, Otago - Invercargill, Southland, South Island, Nov Zland (260 km) Rno jsem vstala do slunenho dne, dobalila, uklidila domek a vyrazila na cestu oblast Catlins dl na jih ostrova. Vybrala jsem si Southern Scenic Road, kter je sice del a klikat, ale vede kolem pobe a vech monch zajmavost. Cel dopoledne bylo krsn, tak jsem v poklidu jela a zastavovala u keek a taky velijakch atrakc. Cesta je fakt moc pkn a myslm, e ped i tu slavnou australskou Great Ocean Road. Pobe je divok, vlny velk, vtr stl, obas njak osada i mal msteko a farmy a samozejm ovce. Krajina je neuviteln zvlnn, tak vlastn furt jede do kopce nebo z kopce. Odpoledne, bohuel, pily pehky a vechny vychzky jsem mla trochu vlhk. I tak jsem si to uila. la jsem na ostroh tesu ke krsnmu majku, taky detnm lesem k malmu vodopdu a nakonec probhla i krtk prochzka po pli ke zkamenlm stromm. Prost krsn den a odlovila jsem i pknch 20 keek. Zejmna ta posledn u v Invercargill byla zatm nejhez z celho Zlandu. Njak kaer si ji udlal pro radost a m ji na dvorku ped domem. Byla jsem jak myka, tak jsem ownera nevidla, ale keku mu pochvlm. Na motel jsem dojela se setmnm v 8 veer a dost hotov. Toho vtru bylo na m dnes moc, tak m i trochu bol hlava. Tepl polvka, aj a spnek to sprav a ztra budu zase upr na dal krsnou cestu.Today I drove from Dunedin to Invercargill and chose the Southern Scenic Road. And I did well. Beautiful landscape and lots of attractions around. The morning was beautiful, then showers and strong winds came, but I still went on three shorter walks to the lighthouse, to the waterfall and on the beach to the petrified trees. I found 20 caches on the way and I really enjoyed the day. Thanks to everyone for their caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.

Looked for this one 2 years ago and didn't log as DNF because we were sure we were just missing something. Got it today though, thanks for the chirpy placement

Great hiding spot. TFTC

Found it didn't have a pen so didn't sign it good hiding spot

Not quite hanging ... but what a cute cache! Thanks to JH for eagle eyes and height. Tftc

Spotted this one reasonably quickly, no problems here. Second find of the day for us.

writing a note rather than a DNF. I couldn't spot the cache so after a circumnavigation I decided to move on.

We looked for ages but we just couldn't see it. We hate to give up but sometimes you just have to.

Out in the dark and with wet grass it was an interesting evening. Cached my way south along the coast until I was ready for bed.

Some of these were quick finds and others took a while. Such is the joy of caching by torchlight.

Nice little cache. Tftc

Came for a nosey over the hill after doing a few airplane puzzles. Was fun to see a much nicer Brighton than our Christchurch one. Cute cache thaanks Natalie247.

We don't want to do geocaching today, but we observed Sunflowers26 and CJ-Curry at the carpark not far away from the cache site. They felt unobserved. And we thought there must be a cache nearby. And it was this one, and both were here already.
TFNC!
C&M alias DRQN

Sunflowers26 had not been far in this direction before, and I needed a caching day, so I decided to take her out on a voyage down the coast. An amazing day was had by the pair of us, for a number of different reasons. Definitely a fun little P&G - quite enjoyed it given the location and the name of the cache! A good easy one to keep our momentum going. Cheers!

Loved it.

A nice little find in and out nice and easy

Greetings from the Czech Republic and Thanks For This Cache.
Díky za keš.

A brilliant and funny find! Tftc

A fun find for Mr C while I suggested find spots from the car. Unfortunately not the most pleasant smell, thankfully couldn’t see the cause! TFTC

We stopped here on our way from Lawrence to Dunedin. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good, so we limited it to a park and grab. Not the sky, but rain was falling.
Thank you for the cache

#21998. Would have been easier to pull in heading south, but we had been keen to make sure we got an FTF, so left this one for the way back. Soon spotted the type of critter we were expecting based on the title of the cache. Nicely done. TFTC.

Left this find for the way back to Dunedin. We circled the obvious object and StreetWalkerNZ laid eyes on the cute wee cache first. TFTC.

Home in New Zealand for the first time in 4 years. Great to use a few cache finds to slow the journey and increase the enjoyment of a long overdue return. TFTC.

Cool place, easy to find

Nice P&G

Something smelt dead around here

Out for a little drive, trying to limit time spent outside the car! The sky was falling for sure today, in numerous small droplets, luckily, with some breaks in between. But the wind... TFTC!!

A quick find. All good with the cache. Thanks

Pretty amazing spot! Took only a few minutes to find!

Very easy to spot. Tftc. #10

What a neat spot with some lovely views.
Found the cute little fellow very quickly.
Thanks for putting it here for us to find

A quick find here while "Caching the coast". TFTC

Cache 894 Hey Wombats_4 do you want to do an Easter cache trip? Yes was the reply so after choosing the best possible weather day we decided a trip up to Dunedin and back to nab some caches for the first Signals Labyrinth was the go, so we hit the road around 8am with the goal of a FTF in Balclutha with that achieved it was trads, puzzles and letterboxes all day and what a great day we had.
Round and round the tree I go where I stop no one knows luckily it was right in the right spot nice little warm spot for this little fella, in good condition T4TC

Mrs gonefishing and I are on an Easter weekend visit to Southland/Otago, enjoying the Autumn scenery and a few caches along the way.

I was little chick's first visitor for the year. Had to talk nicely for her to come and and see me. Fav point given.

Haha brilliant, quacked us up

TYFTC beautiful spot

Arrived in Dunedin for a few days as one of the kids has their final exhibition for their degree. Flew in and picked up a hire car. Decided to take the scenic route into Dunedin via Taieri Mouth. This was one of 18 caches found this afternoon with a couple of DNF. Quick stop here. Realised I missed what’s “across the road” but didn’t miss the smiley. Cache and log all fine. Thanks Natalie.

Had time today while on my way to look after Dunedin Grandies for a couple of days to grab a couple of caches on my trip through.
Quick find today. Thanks Natalie247 for placing and maintaining

Lovely view

Found it, cute container

Found the yellow duck.

Cute little cache container, in keeping with the theme, nicely hidden. Soon found and signed log. TFTC.

Level 2

As the country enters Level 4 (lockdown), https://covid19.govt.nz

It is strongly recommend that whilst we go for a walk for exercise, we need to take care on shared surfaces and geocaching should not be done at this time; https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/New+Zealand

To remove temptation, I am disabling this cache and ask kindly that you do not find this cache during lockdown.

Remember there is more than physically finding a cache, there are plenty of puzzle caches you can do at home. Or if you live near a multi you can walk the trail and save the find for another day. For more info or connect with wider community see Geocaching New Zealand on Facebook.

Stay home, stay safe and save lives.

Try not to get scratched

Cache wasn't hidden. Full log to come.

Found it in a smelly spot

No wind here today and the smell was horrendous! Just as well we found it quickly. TFTC.

Found with dsi on a day trip to the big smoke tftc

An early morning start to catch the bus to Dunedin.
After a few stops we got a coffee at Balclutha and then on to Dunedin.
A quick phone call and a ride was soon organized and we were picked up and delivered to our destination.
After a we completed our jobs we were on our way home .
So witch way I asked and let's take the coastal route so we did
And headed south.
It was a nice day to travel down the coast.
A quick stop here to surch this one out and do the necessary paperwork before heading on our way.
Henny penny said the sky is falling so we come armed with a hard hat and hoped that it would save us .
Thankfully it did as I'm logging this on we managed to get the paperwork done with getting hit .

Life is short. Live one foot step at a time.Never say" I'm gonna "- Just do it!!
Thanks for the hide

After walking on the beach with my four legged companion grabbed this to fill a dot day. A beautiful afternoon to be out and about. Tftc

Nice easy find that fitted what we saw across the road and our plans for a beach walk. TFTC

Find count: 2191

A certain fairytale came to mind as soon as I read the title so I had an inkling of what we would find. There is certainly a variety of things left in the vicinity of the caches we are finding along this road today. Whilst the last couple of caches have had unsavory things, this one had a children's book and one bigfoot slipper left behind. I wonder want happened when they got to their destination and found out they had lost them. Anyway, cache found and signed off. tftc

tftc,bigfoot was here

Thought the monster might have got it

We (Mrs KC and I) took advantage of the good weather to e-bike to Brighton (stopped for a coffee) and then on towards Taieri Mouth. I missed a few, and then decided that I would go for the next one that came up.

Easy find, and nice tie-in to the farm across the road.

TNLN. TFTC.

Great find. Love the humorous caches . Quack quack

Found it nice one ! thanks

Easy find thanks

Thank god for the cable tie
Tftc

We heard there was a 1pm Covid announcement coming up for the first time in ages, and we wondered if the sky was going to fall again.... but not today. Found this one with Debsnz on a second look. Thanks Natalie.

Spotted a likely hiding place as we approached but once up close we realised that there are lots of nooks and crannies that a cache could hide in. Found with Spoonz2

Cute lil geocache !!

Was cute

Clearing some green dots from my map. Thanks.

This one wasn't a turkey, thank goodness!

Nice easy find tftc!

Quack

A quick find today while we were travelling down the coast on the way home. TFTC [^]

I love coastal caches, any excuse to stop and admire the sea is ok in my book. Nice quick find. TFTC

The Sky was grey today, but still warm.

Good day for a drive down the coast. Kia ora for the cache.
