Very cool find with the today

Tftc its wet

Found it tftc

Found this easy cache while we were on the way south to Hamilton with my geowife Pomegranate, she leads the way to find it easily. Hint was very precise.Greetings from Malaysia !!TFTC to Co, totally enjoyed our drive & same geocaching.

Yes, it is a pretty straight forward cache find with Ramakristan, moment we reached GZ, we saw the cache easily. TFTC to Co, only if travelling south, you can get this cache.

Thanks our first for New Zealand

First find of the trip, not sure how many we'll get, but this seemed like a good starting point! A nice easy find here as we've found many like this before. No lamp on this post anymore! TFTC

Heading back south with rattll, after a night in Auckland. Stopped here to get coffee, and find the cache. A quick find, although some stealth required in retrieving. Log a bit damp, signing a bit illegible, but definitely there. Returned as found. Tftc!

What a great opportunity to satisfy my need for coffee, food and getting a cache, all at the same placeA nice straight forward find. Thanks for setting this up.

nice stop off for a cheeky night cache

Cool cache thank you!

All good

Slight change , but ready to go again - sorry for the hold up !

I need to replace and plan to soon

I had found this one in the past but not today

Oh well first dnf of the trip

No where to be found

l spent 40 minutes looking under around and on top of the container DNF this cache

Found thanks

Nice hide on my way south for a roadie. TFTC

Found its a nice quick easy one on the way to Pukekohe lots of muggles around but I have no shame or care so got it anyway. The tin is rusted and the lid is missing The log is still intact though

Find #: 3,136
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Cool autumn afternoon
Cache condition: Okay, but log could do with some TLC

On the way south to Hamilton I stopped off for a comfort break, and a short walk around seemed ideal after battling the evening traffic. It took a circuit to find the right location, but once there I had no issues. TNLNSL TFTC

Good hiding place needs work and repair

TFTF quick find stopped here so many times never thought to look

Our First geocache

It's not every day where I can find caches in two countries in one day, as I found a cache in Australia this morning and now I've found one in New Zealand this evening

I flew into Auckland from Sydney and scored a lift straight from the airport to the servo here and got some McNuggets and a coffee.

The lid is missing and the cache could use a new log. TFTC

Oldest one I've found yet

After searching for too long in "the tops" I finally read the hint properly and Kezzle33 made a speedy discovery.. potentially the oldest cache I have found so far !

I'm on a road trip to the far north, attempting to complete the PWGT Tahi Geotour.

This is day five, a soggy day driving from Whangarei to Te Kuiti and hopefully completing PWGT1.

Will expand on my logs, post photos, qualifying caches for challenges, etc. When I get home. TFTC

Stopped for coffee and fuel. The cache has definitely seen better days (and I'm surprised that the host item has been around that long).

30 October 2022 9:39 am Find #5237

Nice one

Quick find on the way home. Definitely needs a new container and log. We signed the small one someone had kindly put in a plastic bag .

2nd find of this trip. Stopped by for a coffee and cache.
Lucky there were toilets nearby to wash up afterwards.
Log very wet.
Cheers

Tfc needs has no lid log wet..

Nice easy find, thanks !

Greetings from Greymouth, long way from home Tftc

We tryd looking but we can't find it

Muggles galore here, had to do a quick snatch and grab.
TFTC

Heading to Morrinsville and stopped for a break at this point. Had to wait for a few minutes for a nearby muggle to leave before I started inspecting the container. Took a moment or two to locate the right hidey-hole! #4713. TFTC.

On my way home from the Mega as I have to work tomorrow night. Thought it was a great opportunity to grab this cache. Sadly it was an unpleasant experience. The smell in this area wasn't nice but luckily for me on the last hole I checked (of course) I spotted it lying on the ground below where it belongs. The log was tricky to remove but manage it I did then I went back to my car to clean my hands.
Yippee.

Stopped in on the way down, TFTC!

Had a feed then checked if caches nearby and there was. Tftc.

After a quick weekend away up here in Auckland it’s time to start heading home. Can’t log a few challenge caches yet as I have to get home and write up proper logs but this is one I can log right now! We had breakfast nearby and came hunting for this one right after. Hubby spotted it from further away so we didn’t have to put our hands in too many yucky holes. TFTC

Quick lunch stop on way back home. The container is rusty and missing the lid. Must have driven past this heaps of times. Tftc.

On a work trip to pukekohe - stopped off to get my first cache

Hard to find just had to think out side of the box

I flew up to Auckland today to buy a car and drive back south for work tomorrow and naturally grabbed some caches along the way while enjoying and testing my new ride.
I had stopped here and almost grabbed this cache probably 20 times in the last few years. Today I realized I probably wouldn't be back for a long time so I actually gave it a try.
At GZ I luckily found it in the first place I looked.
Find number 2202.
T F T C TheWonderStuff.

Been past this one so many time but are usually on a mission so no time to look. Today we were a little more relaxed and not under and time pressure so quickly came up with the goods. Missing its lid but still holding it together.

Found at the start of our summer road trip. Found with toby84

In Auckland for the mega that isn't! Five of us decided still to come and find a few caches as there will always be plenty more when the mega actually happens. On the way to Coromandel we stopped for gas. Couldn't pass up a cache! Tftc.
#6340

Quick find even with multiple muggles, great to include a cache with petrol, food and loo stop. Thanks for placing it here

Our last cache for the day, after grabbing something to eat nearby Reveurs and I realised there was a cache nearby that Lycurgon and Anastriel already had, so time for us to grab it. Heading to GZ there was really only one place that made sense, and after a bit of searching and feeling around grotty places I soon had the cache in hand. The cache has no lid and the log has also got wet, this has caused rust to get onto the log book, meaning that the log book is mostly brown. We could still sign it, but it does need a little maintenance. Thank you for the cache and something to do after food. #1002

A quick pick up while we were in the area, Lycurgon and Anastriel had already got this one NINE YEARS AGO :O So just me and Small Pooka TFTC

Adventure starts here .... when heading South!

Found with Riser5

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

One needed to make it to the big goal.
Needs fixing. Wet. Rusty.

On my way to rotorua
Wet but okay

had to use a stick to get it out because it was kinda nasty. also kind of a sketchy location.

Travelling through NZ from Aussie. First cache in NZ great hide in such a busy area TFTC

I'm heading down from Paihia to the Hamilton area for a geocaching weekend with my friends. This was our "Phew. We're through Auckland." stop for a cuppa and loo break. The others had already found this cache but Pete came along for company anyway. A quick easy find, thanks

Found this with my friend IuryBR and my little muggels

Today I, Line_Moh, VibhaHB and other 3 Muggles friend headed to Harker Reserve (Vivian Falls), to visit the place and find some caches. Quick stop on the gas station and everyone keen to find a cache some of then searching for the first time. I let them looking for it for a while and read the description and the hint to them, but nobody pay attention to it and couldn't find. I said "it must be here" and Ta Da. Found it, hehe.
TFTC
Picture os the adventures.

This was the kids - Malini and Laxman's first geocaching adventure and lesson with us. The enthusiasm is overwhelming and IuryBr's natural charm with the children just stood out. Thank you for taking them VibhaHB.
TFTC!

Short stop, quick find!

Thanks!

Heading off on a weekend to Rotorua from Auckland, stopped here. Phone GPS led around a bit, but geosence prevailed and soon a quick find. Took longer to replace as had to wait for the cars and muggles to clear. All good here. TFTC

Stopped to stretch the legs on my way south. Saw there was a cache so just had to grab it. Very busy area but I managed to get in and out unnoticed. Cache is missing it’s lid with rust stains all over the log. Might need some maintenance. TFTC.

Yay can finally tick this one off my list as I have stopped here lots but have never been able to look for cache until today. Yay found it TFTC

Sadness. Based on the hint, I think I have the right box. Checked all of the holes on the lower level. If it’s in an upper level hole can’t reach it.

I've visited this road stop before, but it was too busy to search for the cache.
This time the area was very quiet and the cache was soon found.
TFTC

Found it during our holiday trip in New Zealand.
TFTC from the Netherlands.

Found with a sister during our expedition to NZ, where we explored part of the North Island and could visit our classmates and friends that we have not seen for several years, as it is here, in Auckland and Napier live ... Thank you for cache ...

We're going from Whangarei to Hamilton with a few diversions. Ice cream stop. Thank God we're just about through Auckland before rush hour.

Yay school holidays! Time for a road trip with my friend Ethness. I flew from Christchurch to Wellington. The idea is to drive up to the top of the North Island and back. We planned the trip ages ago.

Thanks TheWonderStuff for placing this geocache 7866 find for me.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

NN says she would like a ice cream, so I come off the motorway and park up. Does she go to Maccas to get the ice cream? No, must go caching first!!


The school holidays are here and NosyNel and I are on a road trip north - to the far north. TFTC. Signed NNES.

Found this one on our way to the next camp ground

Thanks for the cache Greetings from the Netherlands

A bit tricky with many muggles coming and going and some truck drivers quite close to GZ but we got there in the end.
Streak Week Day 5 completed. TFTC.

??

Found the cache. Lid is missing so the log is wet, but we still managed to sign it. TFTC

Very cool

An impromptu trip for TeamBOP up to Duders Regional Park. Only 3 of us today consisting of myself, Davidsonclan and McJandals.
As we were now heading back home, we had to stop for just one more...this happened a few times.
Home by 1:30am!
TFTC

On a road trip with part of Team BOP which includes myself, TNXPRO and Davidson Clan. To save room we have signed BoP and I am logging using the Cachly app Ctemplate so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Many Thanks for bringing us here. Cheers

I was heading out of town this morning and stopped for my morning caffeen fix. While I was waiting I pulled up my app and was surprised to see this one so close. So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in it's spot all ready for the next hunter. Thanks for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. I am also currently trying to maintain a daily geo streak. Today is day #970 in a row.

Erster Cache in Neuseeland und der ist nicht mal soo gut. Fundzeit:
14. April 2019 11:17 Uhr. Wobei es zu Hause eher 01.17 Uhr ist.

Po příletu do Aucklandu zastávka v Ambury regional parku a první keše na Novém Zélandu, pak směr Hobbiton )

Awesome finding. Muggleville central!

Awesome cash!

No smokers, just a guy who loaded his truck. Hint is helpful. Tftc.
Keine Raucher heute, nur ein Lieferant. Der Hint half. DfdC.

Good find

Busy day at the location for caching. Very popular place for smokers so be on alert. Fun quick find (hint is VERY helpful)

The Central North Island, Day 1: Auckland - Coromandel

Today we headed out for our last great adventure in New Zealand, which was to cover The Central North Island, as far down as Ruapehu. We set off from Auckland on an overcast day, and was met with rain for the better part of the morning and afternoon. That still didn’t stop me from caching, as I had been well-prepared with a raincoat and picked up only the easier ones. As the rain cleared up, there was a nice stiff breeze that accompanied me in my hunts along the Thames Coast of the Coromandel Peninsula. A relatively good, if somewhat damp day, overall.

The following is the specific log for each cache:
My dad just had to ask if there was a cache when he saw the service station sign. Well, what do you know? There is a cache, so we made a quick stop to make this find. Easily found despite the crowds. TFTC!

A very quick drive by cache.
Signed the log and replaced as found
