Well actually....all is well. Cache lid only is dead, finders have been leaving bit up side down. Working a treat, log book is pristine.
You should reactivate this one. Such a good spot for cache.
Cheers. b&w

container is broken ,lid has a hole in it and the container is very brittle need tlc.
drove passed this one thinking there should be something there ,after finding memorial garden this one popped up as my next target quick find
Very easy find, although in view of a muggle house. Container was broken at the corner and contents were a little wet with a few creepy crawlies living inside lol
The things you find out in the middle of nowhere - thanks for making our trip home via the back roads more interesting. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
TFTC. Not vision realised for me it was vision improved as I raced flobberworm! to the cache that I spotted first.
flobberworm! and purdidepurdie out for a few days caching play.

Was a bit worried the house occupants on the corner may have been watching me...but the cache is placed nicely. TFTC SL
After a gentle nudge from Mrs Rex with regards to the "left-right-no-your-other-left" phenomenom, we were set!
Quick find, we were expecting to see a large estate type house somewhere as the name sounds quite grand TFTC.
An interesting area and a good spot to enjoy the view to the school house on the hill, very pretty. Thanks.
Found at 14:42 on 12/11/2011.
Found during a tour of South Canterbury and North Otago whilst on an Orienteering weekend.

Found it! Thanks, Bitsprayer, have found a few of yours today! Seemed to be roped off but no problems retrieving / signing / replacing. TFTC.
Despite a few DNF's today pleased to realise my vision was still OK by finding this one.

Took a trip from Canada to New Zealand to visit my brother and nephew over Christmas. Did some caching and was taken to some pretty amazing places. Thanks for the cache!
Nice easy find - tried to hide it as good as possible but not alot of cover available
Cool plaque in the middle of nowhere. Cache was exposed again... Hid it better. TFTC
nice spot on a nice day. the cache could be seen when driving past! tucked back a wee bit now. TFTC
Amazing that this area had a school for just 28 years at the start of last century. TFTC
Found on a wee detour through the backblocks sort of on the way to where I was going. Glad it is not an electric fence roping off the monument, a good tribute by this community to the pioneers.
Thanks

Although the area around the monument was roped off for some reason, the cache was safe, and easily found. TFTC

Nice easy find, mainly due to the fact the the cache was only half covered. Stuck out like a sore thumb actually. Still, who ever looks at these monuments 
Drove to this one via the back roads from Waimate doing caches along the way, GPS took me though a river bed - luckily no water as I don't think my poor little car would have made it otherwise. Please NOTE don't go over this river crossing in car especially in winter. Great spot for a cache. Found easily. TFTC TNLNSL (332)
2303. An interesting rural landmark. We were interested to note that a book, of the same name, has been written about this area and that the book was launched by the Prime Minister.
Thanks

Quick find although the farmer has fenced off the memorial, presumably because the electric farm fence right behind it is live at the moment?
Nice spot, another spot I havent been to before and wouldnt have knowen about execpt for caching. TFTC.
A very friendly community - where everybody waves to you as you drive by. TFTV TNLN SL
I was intending to find this cache, but realising I'd omitted the Coords on my page, decided to go up and have a go anyway.
I imagined a corner post on all 4 road edges, and having to look behind some of them.
But, the site was obvious as soon as I drove up to the area.
Took me a while to replace the cache, as I had a local farmer call by to move some stock, and he struck up a conversation about drought, stocking numbers, etc.
Just when it looked like he was moving away, another turned up in his ute, and they both started yarning away.
I had to drive off up the road, still retaining the cache; and drove back past a few minuites later - -and dashed over to replace cache.
TNLN - - -Cheers.

We drove past here about 10 days ago and had intended to place a cache, but there were 2 cockies talking in the middle of the road, so we drove on. Only life today were young cows watching us. TNLN TFTC
