As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Will check it out

Had a good hunt but no luck. Might need checking

Are you sure it's still there? There was a chunk of plastic that looked it got the wrong end of a gardening tool.

No luck. Found the place. No cache

A quick find. I have always driven past here on the State Highway without stopping. A great beach.

Had a great time at nearby motor camp.

found it

Stopped just as it started to rain. Quick find. Interesting bit of history. Tftc.

Lovely afternoon for a stroll and lunch on beach.

well, what fun....we read the plaque with much interest while waiting for that home owner to get herself organised and finally set off with 2 dogs for a walk. Then a car comes round the corner towing a trailer that had seven horses attached around it...bulk horse training. ....then we signed the log! cheers.

A quick find after having visited Sandy Pines, on our way north towards Christchurch. SL. Thanks to BirdFlu for the cache.

A quick find on our way home. TFTC

After parting ways with the Earthbounds, we are having a slow and leisurely trip north with some sightseeing and of course some geocaching. Cache was soon in hand, logbook signed and cache returned. Lucky for us there was no one about in the house overlooking GZ. TFTC.

A quick find and interesting memorial as my ex-husband's ancestors came out on the Magnet. Benjamin Coleman was married to Mary Carey but Benjamin drowned in Otago Harbour and Mary then married Capt Peter Williams.

Found while heading home from the Mega. Could see the cache quite clearly from a few meters away

Last day in Dunedin for Sully1 and I as we visited as many caches as we could before making our way to Oamaru for the last night in NZ. The cold fierce wind today didn't deter us and the range of hides was once again a large one.
This was a nice find, thanks BirdFlu

Found along with bogonghazy after the Mega Event, while picking up as many as we could before leaving Dunedin and beginning the trek towards Christchurch and the inevitable trip home. Sadly the weather had begun to turn on us this morning, but like true Ozzie troopers we continued our NZ assault armed with raincoats. Thanks to the CO for placing this cache, and for bringing us here.

Tftc

Enjoying the history of this town. Tftc

Found on our short but Mega trip across the ditch. we flew in to Christchurch on Friday, drove to Dunedin on Saturday, cached on Sunday, drove back to Christchurch on Monday and flew home on Tuesday. Tiring, expensive and well worth it.

We decided to have lunch at the beach and while Mr M had a swim (yes it was freezing), Lady Morris wandered up to grab the cache. Thanks for the clue, I might have been there a while.

Quick find for YuGeo4 and me as we got out of Mega Dunedin due to bad weather. Thanks for this one.

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. TFTC

9885... An interesting centennial memorial dedicated to the early pioneers, thanks for showing us, found with ishoot, TFTC.

Quick find with Emvy_us on our southern tiki tour. TFTC

Log wet but after signing realised there was a nice new dry one. Going to fast for our own good I think. Tftc

After late morning tea and delicious muffins made by Tikitours Uncle Ian we popped along to this - uncle Ians first find!! Maybe a new convert tftc

Here in Dunedin for the MEGA , enjoying the sights and all the caches of course! Visiting my muggle relatives, introduced them to caching, this was Uncle Ian's first find......keen to get on to the next one..TFTC

Nice to cache in view of the sea, TFTC

Pleased to find this time.

Quick find, and then an amazing view of nine horses being moved along the road, TFTC!!!

Found with Hinemoana while driving around.
TFTC

Log a bit damp but otherwise an easy find. Found with debsnz

Bit of a chuckle as I thought the clue was 'magnetic' but no - check out the sign on the memorial. Now it makes sense! Found with Aoraki Sheep.

On a caching trip with ingidayna to Oamaru and surrounds to get 1000 finds. Log damp. TFTC

I have passed this monument numerous times but never stopped to look. Had to today, and after a few alarms of muggles being about, I managed to secure the cache and sign the log.

It took me a couple of return visits but finally find it, nice cache!

Just had to wait for the muggle and her dog to leave from the house across the road and then it was easy as. Miss 10 was all over this one. TFTC

found just on dark in the first place i looked,TFTC

[:0)]

Quick stop. Found by by fellow searchers before I had got out of the car!! TFTC

Took my friend Theresa quick easy find.
Log is wet...
TFTC

TFTC, the log is wet and somebody has had a go at it, you might need to replace it.

Great memorial.
The log is damp and has been Muggle 'graffittied' with offensive comments.
Well at least they left the cache.
TFTC

Nice memorial and garden. TFTC

Cache was found in plain view and it must have been found by muggles as I doubt geocachers would use language like that on a log book!!

TFTC

It was a nice and short morning walk from our tent to the memorial.
Greetings from Dresden and TFTC

Found it on a beautiful Morning. We stayed at the Camping Space nearby and it was my first Geo Cache which I found in New Zealand. Since our holidays are some time ago I am not perfectly sure about the date!
Thx f_klee02

Thought the gardeners had got this one but no it was still there even thought the garden has been relaid out

TFTC clever hide

Found with nighthawk
Tftc.
No idea this was here

Easily found, but log too wet to sign successfully.

Someone might like to drop in some paper to replace the log.

TFTC

Log is very wet, so we added in our own paper.

TFTC

TFTC.

Nice monument. Couldn't sign log as it was totally wet. TFTC

Quick find while staying close by. Managed to sign the wet log. TFTC

Easy fun find after not finding beach GC earlier Cache log damp.

Log very wet, but happy to have found it. TFTC

Found with Mr B on our run from Dunedin up to Oamaru. Interesting history. TFTC

Log book is both wet and full.

Great to find such a positive memorial, easy find.

Mama has to work today but Granville is visiting from Invercargill so he, Papa and Guwapo packed into the CacheMobile and headed out for a days caching. Find number 500. Log book full and damp. Found a place to log on the front cover. Salamat!

Quick find on day trip round area with Guwapo, and Papa in cachemobile

Found with GPSmith and naysa374. TFTC

Great day of geocaching with gpsmith and walgl399. An easy find, log book is a bit damp.

An easy find with the hint. Glad it didn't take long as there were plenty of muggles out walking this evening. TFTC!

Just as well for a good hint here. It would have been a very soggy search otherwise on this rainy day. TNLN TFTC

Very glad of the precise hint to make this a stealthy find in such an overlooked location. Thanks for pointing out this memorial. SL. TFTC.

needs new log book

nice easy find.

Really Simple and easy to find, bit awkard as it was a nice day and lots of 'pthers' kept going past, so had to be quick.

nice gardens log book wet and nealy full

nice gardens

Easy one in the garden. TFTC

Second find for the day TFTC.

Rather sodden log TFTC

You weren't kidding about the stealth! Nice view over the holiday home. TFTC

Quick find with some stealth required. TFTC

Found while on a trip from Australia to Queenstown for a work conference with my mate Marshy (Blacklegend17) who came along for the ride. One of 220 finds for the 8 days we were on the South Island. Found while heading up to Timaru. A bit of stealth required. TFTC.

Second last day of our NZ caching adventure with Quasar3671 aka The Ruddman aka Marty..... Our travels took us from from Christchurch via Queenstown for 5 days then to Dunedin and finally up the East Coast for a caching onslaught.... This cache was one find of 64 for this caching run and more than 70 for the 24th.

Cool spot with some good history. Love it.

Took us forever, we completely forgot that it was a film canister and it took us ages. But we got it. TFTC

Another straight forward cache with a nice bit of history thrown in.

A very nice memorial, but the cache is hardly memorable.

No. 606

Quick find on a sunny day.
TFTC

Nice place. lots of muggles with their dogs.

1100hrs A real easy find. Watch for the muggle house opposite and walkers. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
