Hahaha, very good! Had a giggle. Unfortunately, and I'm very sorry to admit, I dropped the lid down the hole and had no way of retrieving. Put the cache back with a stone on top. The cache was not water tight anyway (thankfully the log was waterproof!), but again I apologise. Thanks for the cache regardless!
We initially drove past GZ as we were not certain of how to gain access. While at a close by cache found an access point. We were glad we didn't miss this one...very clever. TFTC
very cool cache!! we found the location easily as you can see a little trampled track leading to it. after a little play we figured out how to access the cache thanks to the clues and logged out find. lots of thought must have gone into this, well worth it!!
Wasn't quite sure what to expect from this one after reading previous logs and the cache name, but the number of favourite points meant it had to be attempted. Managed to spot the cache and, after a few trial and error attempts, retrieve the cache without too much trouble. A very nice cache, TFTC!
This was #5 on our 12k loop walk today. We knew it was going to be good.....and wasn't dissapointed in the end!!! Spent 15 minutes thinking too hard about it and looking for something different at GZ. Moved away and zoned in again...same spot...ok start looking for just a normal everyday cache. When I moved closer into this one the sunlight was glistening on them like the sweet things that they are...got you,you little beauties!! Now to sign the log???? No...No...No...Yes..No..If I was a horse I would have got it!! Got the yes again and the other half spotted it!! Now to sign the log??? No...No...No...yes!!! Log was quite damp so we dried it out in the breeze and the sun!! Only to find that we got a gush of water when we replaced!! This was awesome and well deserving of another favourite but I'm sorry we cannot help out.
TFTC. Awesome.

After completing 'Aquatic Wetlands' I left the family in the shade whilst I trotted over to find this one.
It took a moment to find as I had something completely different in mind. Once found I'll claim sun stroke
& heat exhaustion for my dithering as to what to do next. A moments inspiration and a 'duh' quickly
led to cache in hand....log a bit damp but signable. Awesome cache, thanks for the effort involved....
most ingenious.

Just genious! It is really a great cache! And so close from our accomodation for the night! T4TC and greetings from Switzerland!
I finally got around to having a look at this one after finding a safe way to cross the Deviation at last. Not what I was expecting at all. Just got to put a smile on your dial. TFTC
#1748 (16/16 on day 6 in Nelson). Light was fading fast, and I was wondering whether we'd left it too late. On arriving at GZ I was wondering whether the name came from the shrubbery at GZ being a trap for boobies looking for the cache. However,with some careful searching of the area some interesting objects were spotted, and the log was soon being signed. Thanks for another very well constructed cache,

Mrs SoBad had recommended this cache as one to do, and I wasn't disappointed. Not quite what I was expecting though!!!

Now this one takes the cake Really appeals to my warped sense of humour.. You must of put a lot of work into these. Made my ride this morning very enjoyable.Thanks so much.
Oops. I found this cache when out caching with Sidewaze but somehow missed logging it. Apologies for being a little late . TFTC .
Was scrambling about in the bushes. Saw a bush that had something under it. Looked at the something, looked at the name of the cache - --Aha. Found it!!! Another great Kiwi-Nomad cache!!!
An unmistakable find. Log pages or whats left are totally wet. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
Didn't have a tool kit to deal with a lid that didn't want to come off, so a bit of bushcraft was required. Pity the container is no longer watertight.

another great kiwi-nomad cache it was good to meet you at the event really like the thought gone into your caches
Took quite a search to find the target. Very nice!! Couldn't sign log, I think last visiter may have removed it. CONTAINER WET NEEDS NEW LOG TFTC (Have photos as proof of find if required)
Found this beauty while out for a bike ride. The log was soaking wet - new one required. Cheers.
Very sneaky a lot of thought gone into this one. TFTC
requires new log book, this one is wet;)

Think this is the first cache that made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the effort you put in to all your hides.
What a great, amusing, fun cache!! Really ejoyed this one as well as the other two you thought up in this area. Fabulous!! Cheers, ClownyCacher Found on the car ride home from our lovely little stay in kiteriteri
Another great cache, you are either a very dedicated cacher or you have way too much time on your hands lol. The work you put into your caches is very much enjoyed, many thanks for all the hard work.. Cheers Bo
Stopped to do this one on the way to Wakefield today.Spent about half an hour thrashing and skulking around close to couplands bakery and a very busy road.Couldnt find this so waited til we got home this evening to consult the logs etc and realised i had put the wrong coordinates into the gps.We felt like complete "TITS!"This isnt a method i can recommend!!So with little daylight left we re-loaded the gps and charged off.Successfully found on second attempt,definately breast done in daylight!Thanx for another awesome cache!
What a great cache i can see why it was top camo award. Had to use clue. TFTC.
No wonder this was voted best container and/or camouflage in 2008 - brilliant! TFTC.
The fun was finding access to this site. Quick find at GZ. More fun getting back to the car. TFTC
More than a handful is a waste they say! Very clever, I might just target your caches from now on
Geeze, I don't know how I could have missed finding this one yesterday! I must have nearly stepped on either part yesterday – I am just going to have to take my glasses with me when caching. Found I needed a left hand finger. After 8 years of geocaching this is the one that will be forever foremost in my mammary, er memory. Thanks for a standout cache Kiwi-Nomad.

Well, kiwi-nomad you caught me with this one! Never identified anything but shrubs. Without a serviceable PDA with me I had no reference to any of the previous logs for a clue. I'll be cycling back there in the next day or two to get a better feel for the location.
2401. We were expecting something ingenious and we were not disappointed. Very well executed. It made for a fun find.
Thanks

Thought I'd better nip along and check this one out! Great as always, TFTC, Biggles.
Kiwi-Nomad: you never cease to amaze us. You make geocaching fun! When we see your name on a cache, we know it is going to be a goodie! Thank you very much for your contribution to this fun sport.

Possibly the brest construction I've come across - awesome hydraulics. And the container was quite innovative too. Thanks.
Found it ok. The surroundings were quite wet, but the log itself was completely dry. Thanks for the mammory:)
A fun visit to Nelson for a few sunny days with some very enjoyable caches both in location and hiding style. I don't think a compass would work in Nelson given all the magnets located about the place. Any way thanks to all the local cachers for all the local caches, please excuse the template log.
Made it here before dark and just as well.

Another kiwi-nomad masterpiece!! Great fun. It made me wonder how it's all done, and whether I can use something similar. Log-paper is indeed very wet. Many thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1315)
OUr GPS took us to the wrong spot (we were far too exposed) we re-calerbrated & found it ! Mr enjoyed this one - quote "BrillIANt - very creative" [:p] . unquote. The pencil didn't work on the wet paper but our pen was fine! TFTH
Unfortunately the log is damp and fragile. The cache is collecting water about it.
RadioNut had a BIG grin on his face after this one.... how many times could he ???
A great cache concept, thanks for celebrating us women!

LOL at kiwianorak's log!
Last one on today's cycle mission! I think the weather the night before had done my work for me!
Yet another dazzler from KN!

Surprisingly quiet spot beside a very busy road - be aware that parking options are very limited.
Good cache - not quite the breast I have ever done but pleased I finished it otherwise I would have felt a right tit.

Mmmm boobies - how could I resist! Nice easy find otherwise. Cheers Gav [2(.)(.)0]
This one is the all time favourite with navfam. Plenty of kiwinomad sites to go though. Looking forward to more of the same.
What else can one add except what a great idea.
Many thanks from a visitor in town for a couple of weeks.

Knowing how Kiwi-Nomads mind and caches work we had our suspicions over this one. We weren't let down by any means. B found the cache but J had to be the one to play with it. We can't imagine what this must of looked like being set up. Once again thanks for more enjoyable caches, may they keep coming. TNLN Cheers!
Once again top marks on this one.Went out and found it after completing a job over here today.TFTC
Nice hide was really starting to wonder about the wasp nest though! Realy started to thnk you had achieved new heights lol
