Whitestone Stadium (North Otago) Oamaru, South Island, New Zealand
By waitaki999 on 07-Oct-07. Waypoint GC16GJ1

I had this on my list for quite a while and had looked a couple of times with no success so when I saw the latest log I thought I would have a quick drive by, successful this time even though the clue items have been removed.
It will be interesting to watch to see if the proposed development of this area goes ahead.
Thanks

Quickly found - and now see it has been disabled. It's still fine and dry. TFTC

Archived due to lack of owner maintenance - please see my last log.

Missing.

Might pay to check this one, looks like all the bushes have been cut back to the fence.

Met another cacher there and found after a short search.TFTC.

The first challenge was to find a way in! Was searching a bit when Wallyone, Mollymop, Birdflu and blueb turned up. Game on! Then what do you know the only non cacher found it while observing the others searching. swapped TBs. TFTC (666)

we meet some others, yet the man without the GPS found it first! [:o]

nice spot but cant say the same for the find. But the only non cacher found it.

Found with the help of another cacher that was looking for it at the same time.+tb TFTC

Took a bit of searching but got there in the end. TFTC

Bush was thick, but keep looking the cache is there. TNLN TFTC

True to GPS coordinates. The autumn drop of leaves adds to the search. TFTC

Had to have two looks but there it was and the coordinates were pretty good for me too, thanks.

A nice easy find on our southland tour, many thanks for the cache. Cheers Bo

The advantage of takng a golf club is that it helps find the cache, the disadvantage is that passing muggles think you are looking for a golf ball and want to help you find it.

Had a quick look but could not see the cache so moved on to return another day.

Nice hide, no problems locating the cache.

A bit of scrating around to find the cache.

A quickish find - although it did take a bit of groping around in the bushes to find the container. Cheers Gav [2710]

Took a little time to find but we got there TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Missed this at Christmas due to a grounds maintenace person nearby. Got in this time in the first place Annie looked.

Heading back to Dunedin and also aiming to make my 200th find.
This was No.206

Was getting dark and couldn't see the cache so had to locate it by feel

Found it in the dark with simpsonsrgr8.

Counting kilometers!

Found it on a stormy day. TFTC!

Thought it is called Whitestone Contracting Stadium

Parked right in front of it, but the GPS knew better. THanks

#423 Found on the way home for the Food & Wine Fest - a great day out. TFTC TNLN SL

Found with rchdlyn TFTC TNLN SL

A fluke that I guessed the right starting spot, otherwise it could have taken ages to find. Cheers.

Luckily it was on the less muggly side - that certainly wasn't obvious from the coords. Another grovel in the foliage.

found it to day after some looking

Fortunately the co-ordinates were good for us as it could have been a bit tricky with no specific hint.

Found OK after a quick rummage around.
TFTC

Managed to find this fairly quickly which surprised me after reading previous logs.

Lytteltonwitch is on a roll today choosing the end where the cache is to be found quick and easy. Left 3 swops as there weren't any.

Found it this time. Actually, quite embarassed as it is exactly where the co-ords are indicating. Must have come within millimetres last time but well covered with leaf litter. Took a stick with me this time to help with rummaging in the litter and it definitely helped.

1801. It took a bit of scrambling about but in the end when we found it at 4.4.0pm the coordinates were pretty accurate.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

A bit of a rummage, but it is there, TFTC

Our last unfound cache in Oamaru after a 24hour run around. Hope to see many more. TFTC

An easy find - with the right tools.
TFTC.

After Casa Nova I was dreading another long search (not sure if the knees were going to handle it), but found it in a minute or so. Thanks.

Luckily it was fairly quiet here today. I was in town with keewee to find a bucket load of caches, with this one keewee did an impersonation of himself while I made like a hedgehog after a bit of scratching round we soon had the cache in beak (Hand) TFTC

He's right - I literally did have to make like a kiwi to find this one!! We finally found it. YAY. Out caching around Oamaru for the day with Team Chelmo. Lucky #13 for the day. TFTC.

Found this one with Comradehunt on the get to 100 and 250th mission journey. Sounded difficult but wasn't that bad!

Found this one with The-Organist on our Oamaru/Duntroon round trip.

Unlike Bitsprayer this wasn't a "nice quick find" I'm afraid. Of the 14 caches we looked for in Oamaru today, this was the only one we didn't find. Three of us searched for about 10 minutes but came up empty handed. I'm sure it's there and we probably came within inches. Hint not terribly useful as there are multiple examples of the thing described Big rugby game on. We will return next time we're in Oamaru.

Nice quick find, just a bit of rubgy training on tonight.

Thanks Bitsprayer
