Will have a look and see if it has gone walkabout again. This cache has a nasty habit of moving around.
On our way back to Christchurch today via Timaru. Had a really good look for this one but no luck. Quite possibly gone... Cheers.
Had good look around on sea side in all the normal places. may be next time Im in Dunedin
On a quiet morning Old Boots and I went all round the box looking high and low even getting down on hands and knees. No sign of a cache did we see. The lenghts of timber we left mostly in desturbed as wet and yucky. Hope it is still there but not for us today.
Spent the regulation 10 mins looking - but no good.Will have to get back to this one.
Second time looking for this cache, crawling all over it again. Nearly gave up again until Guwapo's mama spotted in while on her hands and knees. Thanks for the cache. Took Cheeky Monkey. The other GeoCoin listed was not present in the cache.
Found this one, nice spot with good view Dropped off Monkey he would like to go on a boat ride!
Quick find, some freedom camper nearby with a nasty looking beast of a muggle dog, but just out of site so as not to be busted.
Had a thorough look around but no luck. I see this one was found only yesterday, so it could be that I just missed something obvious. It seems the restaurant has closed now - the signage has also been removed.
Nice quick find once we had no muggles around. A housebus was also using the area to camp out just next to cache so had to be quick.

Took a while to find. No one about on a cold Sunday.
Took glow in the dark fish and left Grey Whale Geocoin DF4PJX.
Needs a different coloured pen or pencil as colour is hard to see.

Had to be very careful getting this one, muggles everywhere.

Found with Ruger44. Fun Easy Cache! Walked right by past it when we jumped out of the jeep! TNLN SL
I felt a tad conspicuous here at dusk. God knows if the dinners were watching me. My eye sight isn't that good. Helipad was on my left as I retrieved cache. TY.
I stopped by this cache last night to show some friends their first cache. However in the dark I didn't spot the cache on the far side, abit disappointing for their first cache. I returned this morning and could see it today. I returned it to where it should be.
It looked like the container may have been blown by the wind from one side of the object to the other. We were able to reach it however. TFTC
Took a bit longer than I should to find this one as I was looking for a smaller (more common “Hexy†size) cache container. Thanks
Had to avoid a pesky walking muggle. Nice spot and nice hide. Many thanks.

Nice little place which I pass by at least weekly.
While looking for the cache I spied a white thing bobbing in the water at the end of a near by boat ramp. Turned out to be a van which was well submerged.

The wind was whipping up the water today. We found this one without much difficulty. L Canadian Flag pin. TFTH

Umm, the listed co-ordinates for the cache should have been changed when the cache was moved. As it currently stands the cache is not at the listed co-ordinates. Please modify the listed co-ordinates to the actual cache location. Cheers Gav
Found it fairly easily after I'd wasted a few minutes searching at the listed co-ordinates only to find that the cache wasn't there. Not all of read the cache pages when turning up at a traditional cache. Cheers Gav [2646]
I suggest contacting a reviewer and asking that they move the co-ordinates for you.
2237. This was an interesting place to bring us to that we would never have known about. There was a dark storm brewing as we walked away from the cache, that looked very ominous but thankfully it didn't come to anything and the day continued to be OK.
Thanks

Searched in the old coords before realizing mistake, still took a bit to get the hands on.
Second time lucky! Much easier in broad daylight than in the dark last time we tried. TFTC
Took two visits - the first to claim a super bean and leave a Chinese puzzle, the second to return with a writing stick to sign the book! Was going to donate the pencil from my car, but wouldn't ya know, it's disappeared again... TFTC
Our 3rd cache of the day. Being Anzac day, it was very quiet here with no muggles about at all, so managed to get to the cache without too much trouble. TFTC.
Not sure if we picked the right time (9:00pm-ish). Not many muggles but looking around such a facility in the dark with a torch perhaps looks a bit suss. Couldn't find it but will return in daylight for another look.
Didn't want to go near it at first for fear of helicopters. didn't see the geocoin?
Glad to get this off the list, last time I looked it was missing, no one about today.
Thanks Bitsprayer
Thanks Bitsprayer
Went to the listed coordinates and could not find it so read the listing properly and found it quickly. TFTC.
Late Sunday afternoon visit and not a muggle in sight, great!
Much easier to find these ones without mugglephobia I feel.
No swaps, TFTC

Well, H is for High Tide, and Hexy, and Helicopter.... Very accurate coordinates and an easy find. Well under. Cheers and T4TC. Left letters as some others did not have any left.
Did not locate this hide and we searched fairly far and wide at new coords. We were totally at the correct place.
H's abound in this cache, and we're doing the whole alphabet so thanks Hexy. This one for the boy, good looking on his behalf.
Easy straight forward find when there are no muggles

we was there we thought the cache should be, but it seams like the hide was destroyed! Coxibleu
Caching afternoon with nephew and introducing overseas cousin. Muggles leaving the mentioned location caused us some caution.
Nice and quiet at this time of year, no activity in the shops and the restaurant was closed. Picked up "All Black Teddy". Added a (needed) pencil sharpener. +cake gnome, -tin. TFTC.
This Cache was easy to find after reading the clue.

Easy find - cache a little exposed but tucked back in a little better.
Took U4D TB - other TB's/coins are not there.
Thanks,
Chris & Vera

Ww were in exactly the right place, but thought the cache was just another bit of rubbish at first glance. Checked clue, then looked again. Went back later with gloves and several rubbish bags and cleaned up area. Years of rubbish caught under dead grass along the fence. Looks as though the area gets the "DCC contractor" treatment- the contractor is only paid to weedspray, so don't expect them to lose money by picking up rubbish as well. Could future people take a bag and take a few minutes to collect whatever new rubbish has been blown into the area?
Well, I got caught. I found it without too much difficulty, wrote in the logbook, put it back and in walking back around the container, I bumped into a muggle who demanded to know what I was doing. He works in the building across the street and had seen plenty of people doing the same as I had, so he was just curious.
