Found with Mr B on our run from Dunedin up to Oamaru. An after dinner cache outing in the dark to make up for the DNF's we had earlier today. Found at 12.03am - time for some sleep before we take on the Matagouri Challenge tomorrow. TFTC.
Found it but i drove in a nd out of the right side to retrieve it and found iwas walking accross the grounds from the other side.Not to worry good cache,
Nice walk to the cache. Very muggle obvious unless you're cautious. Felt a bit exposed.
thx for the 1st cache in Oamaru!We did end up the resthome driveway! Back down & around to get the cache. Good day for a walk again.
After parking in the rest home carpack, a quick find and we were on our way. TFTC
#1094 (4/22 Oamaru to Dunedin). Greate views from this park. Wonder what it's like playing here with a nice stiff breeze blowing off the sea. TFTC.
Easy find once we found the right road. Dropped Monarch Butterfly T.B and Tina Shoes T.B. Took gold jeep.
Great find by anklebiter EU. It is an advantage sometimes to have smaller members in the team! Left garmin tb. TFTC
The cache logs that we had with us showed that the other caches next to this cache had quite a bit of recent activity but this one hadn’t been found since September 5th, so we wondered if this cache was still there. Went to check it out anyway and was very pleased to find that the nice large cache is still alive and well. Well hidden as it took a second look to spot the cache. Thanks Bitsprayer.
found the cache today along with a few others in the area waiting for dusk to come and see the blue penguins nearby. great cache hidden away in the ohfu! swapped a few trinkets and grabbed the geocoin to pass on its travels...
Used the wrong driveway but no one noticed 4 cachers dash out and grab the cache. TFTC
Found at 9.36pm. We approached from across the cricket grounds. The cricketers were having an after match function, after a long hot day playing. I wonder what time they finished up? Good hiding place. TFTC
Enjoyed the walk through the park especially coming back up through the bush and trees along the fence.
Thanks.

Found it eventually - coordinates were a bit off but that's how it is some days. TFTC
Ah - found at last, and also near the coordinates this time! Yay! Cheers Gav [2730]
Cachebox was rather exposed, so I covered it a bit more. Easy enough find, although I originally started from a cache that was higher up the hill. This steep bit of country gets rather confusing for one who doesn't really know Oamaru very well. I know it a lot better now!! Dropped off a TB. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1411)
Find 21 of 22 finds today in the first Johnnygoecaching road trip (5hrs, 22 caches, 250km). TFTC.
This should have been a quick easy find, but it wasn't. It was quick, as we had places to be, so wasn't able to put a full search in. Cheers Gav
Hooray - finally found !!! One half of ToyotaVX had kindly checked it this morning for us, and found it in a different location than where he last found it - so we knew it was there. And this trip we found it quite quickly! TFTC! + polar bear
After a bit of bush bashing, we found it.

Easy find this time. Hmmm, maybe the night visit and torch helped, but nervous as heck that the torch might be spotted by those nearby.

This is an easy to find cache. We think it’s to easy so we are astonished, that it didn’t get lost in the past.
Great interesting place.

[Found it quiet fast together with "Die Russellbande". Thanx to the boys of the "Russellbande"] I had not to crawl into the bushes.

Stunning day, easy find thanks to CyberLacrus and his GPS. Whistle is dangerous, the kids are too keen to blow it and alert the muggles.

Our first cache in NZ. Nice location with correct co-ordinates. We found it to be worth to let two of our TBs there.

A quiet find, because there were a lot of muggles on the other side of the vegetation. Coordinates seemed a little off.

Let lytteltonwitch do most of the hard work finding this one. The driver has to have some priviledges like minding the car when parked up closer to the cache than reccomended. TNLN
Well, this one turned out to be our Achilles heel!! LOL. We found 11 or so film canisters and the like including numerous clever Bitsprayer caches but could NOT find a 2litre container in a straightforward location. 
1st attempt when out with the ToyotaVX's was put off by muggles using the sports nets, so we didn't even get down to the location after finding Rolling Stones.
2nd attempt our GPSr put us far up the bank and though we search quite a broad area it was not far enough. Did find a container, which 'could' have been the cache, full of rubbish and leaves, but were not convinced. So back to the car and our first 'phone a friend' to the ToyotaVx's. They gave some guidance pointing out that our GPSr was not taking us to the right spot and the container we found was not the cache container. So off we went, planning to come back the next day
3rd attempt GPSr took us to the same exact spot as yesterday, but now we knew it was telling lies. Searched and searched where we thought the ToyotaVX's meant, but no success.
4th attempt armed with even more detailed instructions from the ToyotaVX's we had only time for a very quick drive by between family events. Thought for SURE we would get it, but no.
Saw ToyotaVX 1 at the event and we all declared that it must not be there. ToyotaVX's promise to go and check later that evening. We get their text at AP on our way home - yes it IS still there, where they said.
So, we smack ourselves on the head (not literally!) and decide that 'oh well, we had to leave something to find next time we are down that way.'

A nice easy find after 'Anything to Declare'. Sadly our next attempt at 'Rolling stones are gathering moss' was not as successful.

Interesting little access track. No one about at all so I could search without stealth, took half a minute to turn it up. Thanks.
Found this one with Comradehunt on the "get to 100 and 250th mission" journey. Pretty busy with a game of Cricket on, so The-Organist sits and enjoys the game and tells CH when the bowler is about to bowl and muggles are not looking at us!
Great cache, thanks.
Great cache, thanks.
Found this one with The-Organist on our Oamaru/Duntroon round trip. Took diabetes TB.
Found in the failing light, got a bit wet as all the plants were covered in recently fallen rain. Left a TB (don't have code so umm can't log into cache) - geocoin.
Easy find after climbing the bank from the waterfront! - not having seen a printout for this.... bush is looking a bit battered, which was a bit of a giveaway when searching. TNLN TFTC
Just dropped off the Crock that Rocks coin cos it over looks nice water and is very scenic.
6.10pm. Second to last for the day. Took about five minutes to locate. Thank you David & noeline
No such luck here, spent 15 mins hunting around until a couple of dogs wanted to see what I was up to and I thought that it would be best to exit stage right. I'll be back.
Quick find to add to our collection on our way south. Seeing NZ geocaching style ... its been great!
