Gone wont replace.-Bitsprayer

Lovely walk back in September 11 when we found it

Spent 30 minutes looking along this log because it was a nice day. Log very rotten so we pretty much pulled the whole thing a part and still didn't find it. I would say this one is gone for sure.

Another good standard cache from Bitsprayer. Keep up the good work.
The junction of the Hawea River with the Clutha is interesting - the river seems quite steep and fast at this point. I think I may have parked in the wrong place, but the cache was found quickly enough before any wrathful locals emerged.
Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(2010)

TFTC! Went out with my dad while visiting, we had a good chuckle when we finally found it, had already checked the area for it twice. Nice hidey hole!

That was fun and a nice spot. TFTC. Cheers!

nice one!

Nice easy find. Lovely location. No swap. Thanks for the cache

Found together with SuBee after an excursion upriver. Really atmospheric in the chill amongst the fallen leaves - a great cache

Easy riddle and beautiful stroll. Thank you very much for sharing!

Cool multi, down with ease............. Picked up travel bug 53qbcw

First cache we found with the new GPS 62C. The trusty old yellow etex packed it only an hour ago and we had no choice but to buy the GPS that HamilsHunting and Fishing had for sale in Wanaka; very pleased it was a good model but there was no chance to shop around or compare features.

Nice little multi, decided it was just the right spot to leave our Lucky GC for it's launch into the world. (Thanks JemNZ for grabbing before we were able to log!)

Got a little anxious about the Bs and Cs but all was well and the cache swiftly found. That's a very fierce combination of river flows. Some-one had set up a camp nearby on the riverbed. Hopefully too spaced out to notice our lurking about.

Lots of water coming down the river

Great views today of the river, it's up a bit on it's normal level

TFTC

River levels very high today. The path was under water in places.
Then we discovered on the way back that there are other tracks available to avoid the river.
Nice wee multi in a stunning part of the country.
TFTC

Got all dressed up in my biking gear, thinking that a bigger track started here. Never mind - find this one anyway! TNLN, Thanks.

Nice multi and quick find by our daughter who worked out the GZ. TFTC.

6047 A nice wee multi in Albert Town, enjoyed our walk to the final, TFTC

easy fined

FOund it with zoomzoom. Great find, however as the river was high we had to wade through water up to our knees to get to the log!

Nice wee multi

quick wee multi

nice wee town

Decoded the clues and our 10 year old found this one. 7:05 pm. Quite a bit of flooding at the junction of the Cardrona and Clutha rivers. Had to wade through water if we stuck to the track (which we did). TFTC.

1015hrs Nice walk to cache along the river. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Another nice wee cache along the River Track, I must come back and ride the whole thing. Cheers.

found it with t kids Kerran, Amy & Cowan

A nice simple little multi, well worth the effort. Nice one to do it you have 10 minutes spare and even quicker on the bikes. We saw a whole lot of ducklings swimming in the river nearby so took a photo Thanks for taking us here. Another one of those places that we probably wouldn't have visited if it wasn't for a cache being placed there. Thanks bitsprayer.

Took the grandies out for a lovely walk to find this cache, many thanks

TFTC

Accessed by Jetboat - awesome bit of water

Good bike ride from Wanaka to get cache. Easy find. Thanks

Found just on dark. TFTC

Nice wee spot for a multi. TFTC

Great spot, enjoyed this cache.TFTC.

Nice hide
On all 4 paws

Found while on a trip from Australia to Queenstown for a work conference with my mate Marshy (Blacklegend17) who came along for the ride. One of 220 finds for the 8 days we were on the South Island. Another night time find and one of only a few multis we did. TFTC.

Part way through our New Zealand South Island Geocaching adventure. With my good mate and caching buddy, Marty (quasar3671). Our entire track was from Christchurch to Queenstown then on to Dunedin and finally back to Christchurch. 220 Caches in all in 7 nights/8 days.

We didn't do too many multi's on this trip, but we did do this one. Quick solve from the car window and a nice night walk to GZ. Cheers.

First find of the day. Nice walk on a brisk morning.
Dropped a trackable in here.

Found on a nice Autumn day. The river was very full and almost inviting. Watch out for the bugs when looking for this one!!

tftc

Quick find as was starting to rain.Will return to do the walk. TFTC

Did this one with Tramper Ted - we thoroughly enjoyed the short walk and the scenery, thanks for bringing us here.

Here with Edvern and out for a few caches before dinner. Great history and loved the poplars. TFTC

Quick multi before breakfast near WP1 while watching the sun come up. TFTC.

We worked the numbers and went to find the cache. Enjoyed breakfast on the nearby table and watched the sunrise before continuing our caching day. Very nice spot, TFTC.

Found a nice shady spot to park and then quickly gathered the details bfore resting on the nearby shady seat whilst I did the maths. I suspect one of my digits was wrong as I found the cache about 25m from my GZ.than ks to the excellent hint. Thanks Bitsprayer.

Dropping off Civil War coin as it likes a bit of history

Nice spot. Was difficult to read the questions on the GPS. We had wished we had looked at this on the computer at home first but after figuring that it would not be in the middle of the river and having another look at the letters we had it sussed. The apples on the tree near by were a bonus. Thank you for the cache.

Found while exploring the cycle trails in this area (by vehicle) for a future ride. Checked out the new bridge on the Hawea trail and found a combined school activity in progress just down the river. The Paddles Up event had about five schools competing down a kayak skills and slalom course. Great fun and a great day for doing it.

Eventually sorted out the cache, along with wild peach and apple trees, so did a bit of harvesting on those. Thanks Bitsprayer - a good bit of history here and a neat hide.

TFTC!

Good little multi by the mighty Clutha River. TFTC

No. 456

Nice quick early morning multi...
TFTC

A bit on this day, one of the swap's was one we believed we had placed in the cache in south otago, can't remember exactly which one.

Nice little multicache, already visited by some of our friends Great day and nice spot. TFTC

Nice big Hidey Hole. Pretty straight forward - Nice. TFTC

Really cool one !
Beautyfull place during sunny day.
+ Necklace from Reunion island
- Yoyo

Found with Mum and Dad. added light blue gem. nice stroll by river

Enjoyed finding the co-ordinates - found quite easily. Location was covered in frost.
- Giant Fish Paperclip
+ Gold Bracelet
TFTC

Had a bit of a long walk for this one as two of the numbers accidentally got transposed when putting in the GPS! But it was a lovely day and a great setting. Once we realised our mistake the cache was found easily.

had to do this twice think i punched the coords in wrong the first time around, but what an awesome location and great multi, TFTC

This is the sort of caches where you get some local information and we love it. Nice stroll along the river. TFTC

Got our friends new to geocaching to work out the co-ordinates! Left hacky sack and took toy hairbrush.

Nice walk...saw clutha jet doing 360s. would have been great photo opportunity. Cool hide and great clues

This is a real nice spot. Quick find TFTC

Took the little game boy left a Yoyo.

Droped off the TB Koru.

Found by McAdies on our holiday around the South Island.
Found this one and saw a jet boat as well speeding past doing tricks.

did the history lesson. thnx

Relatively simple once I'd entered the co-ords correctly - I was fairly sure 1.85km didn't count as a 5 minute walk!

One of only a handful of multi's that I planned for this trip due to time constraints. Easily worked out if you are careful and a nice stroll to a good hide (not ïn the bushes"lol) thanks Bitsprayer.

The river was in very high flow - quite mesmerizing.

We camped on the campsite just over the river. Nice spot, but the water is freezing cold . So after a swim we didn't have the energy to get to this one. So the next morning this was the first thing to do. Very quiet and an easy find. TFTC!

nice and easy multi... note to self - using the gps helps you to find the right place (searched in the wrong 'obvious spot' for AGES!) think i found it sometime around then, amidst the broken-legged holiday days that all blend into one... tftc!

Nice easy multi with some history. River was high and swift. Surprised to see wee kids and their Dad swimming in it???. Dropped of GB TB and PU Geocoin. TFTC

fun multi, TFTC

Found under profile Theresa01 but have since changed profile name so re logging find.

Really enjoyed this multi cache and the walk was great.
Took nothing, left gel pen.

Had us on the wrong side of the river for a start. Good clues.

Easy little walk from Wanaka and a nice little stroll through the trees to get the cache.
Don't like putting my hands anywhere near spiderwebs though.

DONT FORGET TOO PRINT OFF THE QUESTIONS!!
cunning way of doing the co-ordinates

Quiet spot by the river, pity about the rain, but still lovely place to watch the river flow by.
TFTC

We enjoyed this cache very much, especially the area that it was in. Thanks for the history lesson and the beautiful walk. Found the cache without too much trouble.

Another late entry. Been busy!!! Nice easy walk. Angel (dog) loves it when I go on a search.

Found at 1:56pm.
We had some time after visiting Puzzleworld before heading back to our motel, so we did this one. Easy multi with a quick find. Son came with me as the weather is still cold but clear skies. Loved the views of the mountains with snow covering the higher faces as we walked to the Cache.

My fourth for the day. Very interesting bit of history. Such a lovely day to be caching!

TNLNSL, TFTC!

Clever use of the history, and nice hide. If you walk a bit further to the Cardrona River, you can walk up the side of the spream and follow a walkway back to Albert Town.

Nice easy Multi,missed this one when doing others in this area earlier in the year.

My first find

Nice walk by the river and had a big lunch at the local after thanks TNLN

This was a super fast find for us as we still had a long drive ahead of us. Another stunning area displaying its autumn colours.

Another great cache NINO TFTC

It was cool working out the clues. great hidey hole. TFTC

Ended up on the wrong side of the river. Once on the other side it was a nice walk. Location a bit hard to find until I saw something out of place.

Nice little walk on a great day up in central
