Pipedream's Foveaux Walkway (Southland) East End, South Island, New Zealand
By pipedream on 18-Nov-07. Waypoint GC17F6E

Another of Uncle Johns cache interfered with. Placed Nov 2007 with no problems all those years. Opening the area up to see who wants the position so badly if tourists can't find the steel plate hiding the cache all these years behind the big rock.

Not many large rocks to check around, no find!

Also no luck for us here...

Looked quite some time but we found nothing - but of that matter a lot!

We spent some time looking but came up empty handed.

Had a good look but could.not locate

??

Cool find left some stuff

Found what I considered a large rock, had an explore around and came up empty handed

TFTC. Another Muggle likes the idea. Don’t know if they’ll transition to the light side

A nice quick find once we arrived at the right place on the path. TFTC

We're currently travelling New Zealand in search of adventures. We're exploring Invercargill and Bluff

Enjoyed a picturesque walk and a quick find here. The cache is in good condition. TFTC

Beautiful walk and lovely location. TFTC!

After our visit at Stirling Point, Bluff, we went for a walk along the coast and passed this cache which we found quickly. Pen belonging to the cache was not working and we forgot our pen in the car. We contacted the owner and ask for acceptance of a photo log. Owner was so kind to agree.
Thanks for the cache.
Best regards from Stuhr/Germany

Nach unserem erfolgreichen Fotostop am Stirling Point ging es auf eine kleine Runde entlang der Küste. Auf unserer Wanderung kurz das Internet befragt und auf einen Cache gestoßen , der Stift im Cache hat nicht funktioniert und so haben wir kurz den Owner kontaktiert und gefragt ob ein Fotolog in Ordnung geht. Seine Antwort: go for it, mate. You made an old men happy. Danke für den Cache.

A quick find after a long time break from the business. Second visit to Bluff and it was a good weather for walk (after the crazy snow and hauling early this week)

Foveaux Walkway (Southland) was transferred from pipedream to user Whitemoose_

Big walk around the hill today but a good spot

A nice quick find while there were no muggles around.
Thanks for putting this here - love the way its hidden to

Staying in bluff for the night before heading to Stewart island tomorrow for 3 weeks..

Time to stretch the legs after checking into my accommodation..nice quick find..went straight to it..tftc

Very neat cache, thanks

Beautiful spot. Quick find. Tftc.

Found with Piwaka54 on our epic Southern adventure. Love the hide at the GZ

Found with Nutty Nora

Found on a calm day but the waves where still big hence you could feel the spray. Tftc

Well hidden.... And not very green but rather earthy coloured now

Cache 854 with Covid lockdown now lifted and a small break in the weather it was time to start climbing up this month’s mountain challenge so decided to hit a few caches in bluff for this one being as it’s uncertain if we will end up in lockdown again hopefully I can climb the bulk of it today
Couldn’t find this cache on my way past the first time so I thought id try again on my way back and boom it suddenly became easy, think I was just cache blind earlier… DOH cache is in good shape T4TC

Lovely spot for a cache, found on a trip to Bluff.

Kia ora for the cache. Had quite a few conversations with the manu, unfortunately we don't speak Tūī.

Easy find on a lovely sunny morning walk with the family, TFTC

#1164. I've been walking the Te Araroa trail and this is day 168 - the very last day of my 3,000km walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff. This cache is the 86th and final cache I found along the way.

Stirling Point (the finish line of the trail) was almost in sight by now, and I didn't want to finish the trail, so I distracted myself by looking for this geocache. Unfortunately I didn't get distracted for too long, it's an easy cache to find! I like the camouflage that's gone into this one!

Thanks for the cache! [Here's a link to my Te Araroa blog entry for today](http://teararoa.g2.co.nz/2021/03/16/day-168-invercargill-to-bluff/) for anyone interested!

We decided to just go a short way along this beautiful coastal walkway. This was the turn around point. This cache is not going anywhere in hurry! Nicely placed for the long haul. Thanks for the cache pipedream

A nice Walk along thus rugged coast line on a fresh morning ..the cache was found all good under good cover thanks pipedream for the history and placement

Tftc

Another quick easy find, tftc

Spent a lovely afternoon in Bluff with my son and his family walking and geocaching. Found with Span85 and Iroquoispilot. TFTC.

Had a bit of time to spare before heading for a meal at the nearby restaurant so I went for a fast walk along this track. This was the second of three caches found, very nicely hidden! Great weather today and perfect views out across Foveaux Strait. Signed log, TFTC!

Great find/hide thanks.

Thanks for cache

Nice cache, thanks

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I are on a bit of a Christmas Roadtrip to Ingill & back ... we'll be doing a few geocaches on our travels ... this being the 43rd of hopefully many ... we were in Bluff as we were wanting to walk part of the Foveaux Track around the base of Bluff Hill ... a brisk walk to grab this cache ... a quick find, sign the log & replace ... in between 'muggles' coming & going ... so had no real issues ... TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #1,777 for us.

Fantastic walk and superb location for a cache. Thanks for the cache.

Saying "awesome" a lot on this walk, its awesome

Tftc!! Quick easy find when out for a lovely walk

Enjoying my walk along here. Lots of muggles here on the way out to the Lighthouse. Walked back with a local man and snagged this one the way. Cheers

Wednesday 4 November. Bluff is on my radar today. So Toby lets get going!

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

(# 6129). Day 9 of my South Island odyssey. Today is getting some caches around Invercargill and Bluff as well as having a good look around. A nice walk to the GZ and a quick find in a nicely crafted hide. Everything in order. Not many caches today due to the weather. TFTC

Lovely day for a walk! Even better when there are caches to be found

Great walk. Busy track even in winter

Trop cool

Thx

Found with Nanook on a rainy blustery day. Beautiful country, great trail. Only negative is the COVID19 virus and wondering if/when we’ll make it home to Alaska. Thanks for the hint. TFTC.

Found with Buffalo907,TFTC!

Found it TFTC

Nice walk, great views

A week of work in Invercargill so at the end of the day today headed to Bluff to grab some caches. Nice walk this evening. Thanks for the cache.

Lovely walk around the walkway, and not many around. TFTC!!

After a quick search by Ruru NZ who had cache blindness for this one I stepped in and located. We took the TB from cache to help on its journey. Will decide who takes it when we get back to car.

On a 3 day caching venture with Nosynel. We have a few goals in mind, especially the TMGT caches and Bluff Hill. Our friends from Christchurch were the last finders. Dropped off a TB. Thanks for the hide.

It was a nice walk. Jude-E and I are on a geocaching trip to the deep south. Instead of driving down from Christchurch we decided to get a cheap flight down. Thanks pipedream for placing this geocache 7966 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.

It would be ride not to continue on from the TMGT cache on such a lovely day. A nice quick find too. Cheers.

Time to have a holiday road trip, and today we cruised around Invercargill and environs, to collect a few TMGT and other caches.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Yus. Now to wait for muggles to pass so I can return it! Qiute clear where to put it. A quick walk after morning tea at Oyster Cove. No plastic wrapped butter there, hurrah for greaseproof paper! Tftc

Happy Birthday Queenie

Nice hide tftc

Great site, easy find, choice cache. Thanks

Cool cache. Every thing was in good condition. Swapped a ninja for a lion and rugby card. Deserves a fav point. Got it at the start of a long trip on the te araroa.
TFTC

We had bumped into an old acquaintance at the car park- their ferry booking had to be changed to 5pm so to fill in time her hubby and friends had gone to the Invercargill transport museum, but she joined us for a walk. So explained geocaching before diving into the bushes for that typical pipe dream hide.

First time in this area! Came to Bluff for my honeymoon in1984, but didn’t do much walking!! Tftc

Enjoyed the lovely weather here in Bluff and took advantage of it to do some gentle walking. Next day all hell broke loose on the crossing to Stewart Island but that is another story.... TFTC

Easy find

Went ahead of our walking group so Janette and I could get this cache....loved the hide method....
Saw a familiar username!
KayGeeDee!
Thanks pipedream!

Time to turn around and head back after a pleasant walk.
Tftc

A planned geocaching trip with specific targets in mind.
1: The final 2 caches to fill my D/T grid
2: The last 5 caches available (all in the South Island) to meet the NZ Jasmer challenge GC4R9Z6
3: Get as many caches as possible in a day (Solo)
I had no timetable and only a vague route (Christchurch - Dunedin- Invercargill). So after 20 days of sleeping in my tent/car I arrived home having traveled 4500km and visited some interesting places. Met some great people. I had found over 650 caches. That was a lot of park. Jump out out. Find cache sign and return. Then on to the next. All this done by myself. Also attended an event and had 2 FTF
Mission 1 and 2 were achieved and I had a best day of 153 caches. All this done by myself.
Day 9 Middlemarch to Invercargill 13 caches found but none of the target caches. A nice easy find. As I was returning I thought I noticed Supernanny heading to cache. I wasn't sure but when I got to the next cache she had signed it. Thank you for the placement.
Dropped TB

Was confused about scuba equipment - but found a toy diver in the cache

A nice afternoon to get this one. When I found it. It was all over the ground. Everything was dry. Found with Annielin and Downsouthinv.
Tftc

After a busy day at the Civic Theater, time to get some fresh air. So a trip to Bluff was the decision.
A nice cloudy walk to the gz. Watching the boats come in... hopefully with more Oysters on board or at least a blue cod or two.
Tftc

After a bissy day and the chorus done we decided to go to bluff for tea well a cache and oysters and chips.
So first the cache after a park at sterling point was found we had a nice walk to gz .
The cache was out in the open and scattered everywhere so pick up all the pieces signed log and rebag the cache and returned it to the hide .
Thanks for the hide
