Had a good look on the top of the wall as per hint. Unable to locate. Not sure which post the hint is refrring to. Maybe it is the one with the tap attached. Loved the decapitated mummified cat.
Didn't want to look for a cache in a wall, so moved on. Speed Caching with nick_h_nz - TFTC
As we were speed caching, we had no knowledge of what this type of cache was. Had we known, we probably wouldn't even have stopped. This cache would never pass review in the UK. Even if it somehow was published, it would be archived within the first few finds for being a potentially destructive cache. I'm quite surprised caches are allowed in dry walls in this country! 
In any case, we got to GZ, decided the cache was likely hidden on/in the wall, and left it well alone. Very happy to DNF this one.

Spot on with the clue, but watch out for the closed shops full of antiques/2nd hand goods/junk along the main drag!

Batteries getting low so search took longer than it should have. It was really a simple find, just a matter of knowing where to start. TFTC.
Found this cache with my personal travel bug Ice Age Scrat along our 3 moths trip around the whole New Zealand,

Spent some time looking for this to no avail. Was it in clingwrap, if so it has been muggle trashed.
A cop car parked nearby held us up a bit but when he went we just couldn't crack it. Pity
2297. Oh no, when we saw that object our hearts fell!! But some careful looking and we found it. What a relief!
Thanks

Nice quick find which is just fine with me considerin the sleet, wind and bitter cold that has decided to make an appearance now! 
After having cursed a few times at waitaki999's "hints" - I didn't bother to look - only now was I pleasantly surprised to find it could have been useful. A relatively quick and easy find without anyway. Thanks.
4th of 6 cache finds today - - -Just Sir Rick and Pippi today - The Lady had to work this weekend.
A perfect Winter Afternoon up in Kurow.
The first stone I touched - -was the correct one.
Film canister in hand, and the log signed.
TNLN - -Cheers
p.s. - - -I was being watched by some machinery belonging to the Company I work for. LOL

We used the Hint to narrow down the search area.
The last cache find on our visit to Kurow.

Yah! We did it! Our second FTF! We were passing through Kurow, as we often do on our way to our summer holiday camping spot and loaded some caches into our Garmin before leaving. Saw this was new and hoped we might make it in time. Just got back from our holiday to log the find.
