On second thoughts might re-think this one, it might go to make way for a new one.

New log in tonight

This time it is true: There is no room left in the logbook! Sorry, we had no spare one for this kind of cache...

Took a while with a busload of tourists around. Retrieved it after they left. TFTC

Our first cache in Oamaru, during a quick stop; the cache was found very easily. The log book was full, it is now overflowing! SL. TFTC.
Équipe Papou Team, Québec, Canada

Got a little side-tracked when someone passed through, but then got back on track and found quickly, very quickly in fact. TFTC.

34th of 35 finds on a big daytrip with max.corboy & timb172. A tricky wee hide, seems Oamaru is keen on this type of container.

Nano. Needs a new logbook. Quick find, though I am not very well up on Harry Potter.

Tried hard to find it but no luck. Small team member even had a slip into the stream with a few scrapes and scratches. We will try again another day.

Nicely hidden. Found after checking many other places. TFTC

Thank you for show this place. Thank you for the cache. Many greetings from germany- Löwin08

Great station! And great city. We saw last evening some Pinguins in the Harbour
Logbook is full.
TFTC! Greetings from Germany

Gps counted us down to GZ for a quick find. After it was uncooperative 10 minutes earlier we were pleased we had tried another cache before tea. TFTC

Quick find late this afternoon - getting dark and very cold. TFTC (687)

Quick find once I stopped digging and looked in correct spot.

took three tries and a little help but finally found it. TFTC

Easy find and a cool spot to take pictures. TFTC

No problems finding this. TNLN

Found this cache with my personal travel bug Ice Age Scrat along our 3 moths trip around the whole New Zealand,
13:20
Easy cache in nice town with a lot of historic buildings, TFTC

These caches are very cool can't believe the size.

Pleased to find this little micro. Neat place after a fruitless scratch around further afield. TFTC

Just Go! TB visited with IndiemmaJones.

No muggles around today, nice easy cache!

TFTC

Quiet Sunday afternoon, quickly found. Thanks.

Found with baby&Mrs gopher on our NZ trek. We had a lunch stop at Oamaru on out trip from Dunedin to Timaru & it was an excellent place as the cafe meals were just right for the wet day. We made a quick dash to GZ but had to have a good look around as our zero mark was a few metres away. TFTC Bitsprayer,
Roostaman.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher in company with Roostaman at 1315.Very quiet here today for a Sunday,made the find easy.TFTC

found it after I thought about it for a while
thanks

Must of been late as the light was nearly all gone. Ate a burger while I waited for the Express. 27th find today (that's a lot for me). Time to get to Duna's. Cheers.

A little knowledge of JK Rowling's work made for an easy find even though the GPSr wasn't particularly good at the location. TFTC

@ 15.40 # 2131
Easily found on our tour through the Town. Nice hidingplace
TFTC and for showing us this spot

Yahoo-my thousandth cache.
Staying the night in town. Managed to contact the cache owner who took me around town to see some of the sights.
Thanks for that Robert.
Had a nice dinner where we met for a beer as well
Ingenious hide too.

Another nano as the night begins to fall. TFTC

To begin with we searched at the wrong object. No train today

A nice easy find on our southland tour, many thanks for the cache. Cheers Bo

Incredibly easy find - went straight to the right place.

We're getting used to these little critters now, so after a quick check of the obvious spots (and a interested look into the station as many muggles went past) managed to scribble our names. Thanks.

Looked in the wrong area for a start, but after a bit of smart thinking by one of the boys he went straight to the hiding spot. Had the place to ourselves today.
Thanks

38/64

Pretty quick easy find, and relatively easy to practise the stealth skills to remove and replace under the muggles eyes. Thanks.

Found fairly quickly with simpsonsrgr8.
TFTC

Another crisp new log sheet for me to make my mark on.

TFTC

New log book in place.
Bitsprayer

Again a very sneaky hide tftc only one spot in log left

Good location Still took a bit of looking but getting onto these ones now. Only 2 slots left for logs. All quiet here tonight.

Quick find after finishing penguin watching… nice station, logbook full, managed to get the last spot.
TNLNSL, TFTC

Train was pulling in just as I was returning the cache - great spot - and a cool hide.

TFTC

Another nifty little Bitsprayer cache. Found by a member of the team after the other had already looked there! TFTC

Another devious wee cache. Heaps of muggles

Hmmm, nifty hide Bitsprayer. Great to be back among your caches on a rare trip south from Northland.
Thanks!
Conton

We would love to see steam trains going from here.
Found the nano reasonably quickly.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #2226

Nice spot, and turned into a relatively quick hunt (relative for caches this size ) Cheers Gav [2625]

Did this one with Moneydork.

A great spot indeed. Thanks.

Had to make three visits as there were muggles clad in blue overalls and hi-vis vests waiting to unload the train, it appears! Annie and the GPS walked straight to the cache on the third visit, even though we had decided that it was actually located elsewhere the first two times we passed through. TNLN TFTC

A few people about today but I took a guess at where it would be and made the retrieval as I walked past, real sleight of hand stuff, cool!
TFTC.

My first cache for a day of 21 Oamaru caches. Easy find - when you understand the mind of Bitsprayer!! I was there at 6:55am, and the sun rose over the ocean as I walked back to my car, casting a gold/green light over the grass, and giving a soft glow to the cherry blossoms. Yes, really - it was as good as that!! I do love early morning caching!!
Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1394)

Yay, found It But didn't realise I hadn't logged it until three weeks later when I turned up again to find it There was no one around today which made it an easy enough retrieval. TFTC

Wandered about in the wrong spot to start with and then saw a logical place for it to be hidden, and there it was. TFTC.

2230. A quick find before we sat on a nearby seat to eat our lunch.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Found with Jonnygoescaching daytrip. Took long and missed seeing the tiny thing first time round.

Find 13 of 22 finds today in the first Johnnygoecaching road trip (5hrs, 22 caches, 250km). TFTC.

Hmmm, took longer than it should have considering what we know now, TFTC - with the JGC geodogz

[Red]Found this on on a trip to Oamaru with the jonny goes caching team.

Great wee hide TFTC

Walked through on the way to work. Deserted so had to walk the rest of the way!

Quick , grab after being diverted by dead boot in bush, reminded us of another nearby cache. TFTC

No trains through today, nice hide! TFTC

You wouldn't want to be shy
Thanks
ernienz

Nice spot on a nice day.

Not too many spots it could be, searched a couple and then bingo!

After showing a couple of continental visitors the beautiful limestone buildings we found this fairly quickly. It's certainly my smallest cache yet. Thanks. Hatas

Found it! TFTC!

My 4th FTF in as many days. Many Thanks.

Had to visit three times before we struck it free of muggles! Quick find then glanced up to see the security camera!
