To many did not finds. Please check as I could not find either...

Too hard to rebuild so achive time

We couldn't find it either.

In refference to the hint, how tall are you?

We have become quite intimate with the cork tree and around it but we have had no joy finding this cache after several visits.is it possible that it is no longer there?

Had a good hunt but unable to find it, is cache still there?

Had a look around being very excited about what we would find. Was focusing on location of hint. No luck. Had a look at the logs and find many before us also having failure.

Had a great feel on a muggle free night with no joy

I don't think it's there, either, but thanks for bringing me here anyway.

With 3 sets of eyes we had no luck here today after about 30 minutes

Help, I'm corked right out. After several solo visits I enlisted the help of the Jazzman and MrsL and despite 3 sets of eyes and around half an hour of solid looking and feeling everywhere we could imagine we still couldn't find it. Any chance one of those naughtly muggles has taken it?

Had an hour or so to spare whilst Mrs KR did the Suter. Had an average hit rate, and this was one of the failures. Thanks

We were searching for a half of a hour. We had not enough time. Pleace check the cache and write me. We will come back and search again. Thx

Really awesome cache! I think I stood around looking for that sucker a solid hour. Not constantly though, because muggles kept interfering with my hunt! Whenever anyone came, I used the nearby bench as refuge to pretend I was texting on my phone I told myself, "this is my last good look", and just as I was walking away ready to give it up, the container reared its face at me. Thanks for the fun!

Great Cache! logbook papers were a bit wet from recent weather though.

#522, found during my kiwi traveling. Log in june, because I was without net. TFTC

Great hide...awesome tree. Found it after a while of search, but when I saw it, it was so obvious. maybe you have to repaint the cap of the beroccabox. TFTC

first search at a wrong place, but after turning the head its easy to find good idea

Great hide, took a bit of finding. TFTC.

A remarquable tree which can be inspected thoroughly while looking for the box.
The box: excellent!
Found after thinking and turning, and turning and thinking, as described in the hint.
TFTC!

Nice camouflage, but found fairly quickly since we knew what to look for. TFTC

Magnificent tree and cache to match. Took Travel Pirate but nothing we had would fit. NIGO TFTC

Tanks for the cache, brilliant idea!

Amazing box, thank you!

In: Geocoin

That's a really good one. Nearly invisible...

Awesome clue and nice cache

This has been on the to-do list for aaages. Came here at a low muggle time to have a good snoop and bingo! Cache in hand after a bit of a search. What a cool hide! Was a bit hard to get it back where it was tho. Thanks!

Greet from Czech republick and thanks for nice cache.

neat cache, found it after about 10 minutes,,,Thanx4Tc

This was a really nice cache. Great idea. Because of a police man watching us, MerleLutz and I needed to have a beer in a nearby pub to wait until the cop decided to go. TFTC

found together with Jeep4 on a stroll through Nelson. These trees are well known for us because we like to ride the Enduros through these oak forests in Spain. Well hidden cache, nicely made. While inspecting the tree a cop in a civil car got notice. So we were forced to have a beer in the next pub. Bend my arm

TFTC and a favourite pint / point from me.

Found it quickly. We basically parked next to it. There are several log sheets in there and all of them are damp and wet.
TFTC

Very well done. I dont mind confessing this took some time!
Tftc

It took a little while to find it, well hidden.

Fascinating tree and great camouflage - I enjoyed it very much!
Thanks for the nice cache!

Took us about 15min to find it...very nice one.
TFTC

Found it with Matthias while the girls were shopping!! : ) Matthias first find!! Clever hide, but log inside is very damp.... Hard to write name down!

The tallest one of us - Mr Mum2jer - found this one. Very cool camo. What an interesting tree!! TFTC.

TFTC Brilliant camo. Well done BuzzTasman!!!!!!

TFTC

Soon found great hide

First cache on my New Zealand trip ... wasn't that easy, but I was sucessful!
T4TC

Nice quick find while in town, neat cache thanks. TFTC.

Hi good cache, however couldn't write in log as a small toy has lodged fast in the front

Thanks for this one, we had a nice stroll with friends around Nelson

TFTC. great camouflage but paper inside quite waterlogged and sticking together.....

Found! With a little help from my friends.
TFTC

First one. Great camouflage. Nearly didn't find it. Very exciting.

A terrific wee hide - an opportunistic pickup en route to the art gallery. Tftc!!

Logbook a bit damp and starting to disintegrate.

Our first find. Very exciting!

Cunning hide! Needed a little help from my friends

good one! couldnt extract paper so added a scrap of my own....

Clever cache - enjoyed it very much LGM

Wet and rainy day had a quick look after walk to centre of NZ. Nice find NTNL

Nice hide on busy street. TFTC

A bit wet...no log present so we started another. Great camo work.

New dry log sheet

Not luck finding this one. A muggle told me I was searching at the wrong time, it better at 4am in the morning as there's more dew around. Apparently if I can find it. It is worth $20 a kilo!!!!

So well done but found it by the lid on the ground so have tried to put it back as it should be you may need to check our repairs. The log is damp also. TFTC

great spot well done may need looking at as we did some repairs and log was wet

Searched and searched but all to no avail.

Very neat hide, logging this one as a favourite.

Nice hiding spot! TFTC

Cache container replaced and ready go go
We hope this one isnt found by the vandal muggles as well

Looked up these coordinates a few weeks ago, knew it was missing but thought it might have been replaced during our travel time from Australia.
nice tree!

We had a 6 hour stopover in Nelson before we had to fly back from our nine day hike around Nelson Lakes. So we had some time to have a look at some more Nelson caches. This was the last in our series of DNFs. Somebody came out of the building and looked at us rather amused, even taking a little detour to the carpark to observe us a bit longer. Owner? Cacher? Anyway, we could not find anything and only discovered at home that it was disabled. Bummer.

Found the crushed cache on the tree but obviously not in its original location and was minus its lid. I will contact the owner and see if they would like it couriered back to them.
Really cool camo and great spot for a cache. Shame some muggles have decided to ruin it for others.
TFTCSL

This cache appears to have been damaged and is missing. We will replace it as soon as possible.

Very sorry to say that the cache has been crushed and will need to be replaced.

Second time trying to find this one... With no luck. Maybe we need to come back with the old X-ray glasses

That was very funny. Cool container.

TFTC

Suitably disguised indeed... as they say, you sometimes do not see the forest for the trees, but eventually got it... cool container

Really cool container. Enjoyed this one a lot. Thanks for showing the tree!

Well done! Touring around the South Island from New York! Love NZ, TFTC!

Not being familiar with this species, we almost did not recognise it at first - those leaves are very un-oak-like! Great specimen of a tree and a great cache hide. Thanks for showing us both.

# 2528

Found. Log to follow as time and laptop battery permit.

Easy find with the help of the hint, clever hide. TFTC

Nice Place, thanks for showing it.

New log book

Forgot to drop a few travel bugs in for a visit....

Also - the log book is all full up now.

Great location and a Great hide.
Happy Cachin!!!

This one had me confused and nervous outside the courthouse! But GREAT cache in the end with the hints. Very clever.

12:40pm
Wow, this one is one of the very good ones! TFNC
Carolin & Matthias

Found in the dark after a while. Contemplating giving up when the light came on. Great cammo job. Impressive tree. TFTC

Well done! Took a bit of searching - don't know how the other couple did it in the dark!

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!

That was a cool find. 23/12/10 7:52 PM Find #220

Beautiful Tree. Great hide.TFTC

This one was awesome! Love the camo. Fascinating flora too. TFTC.

#1765 (17/19 on day 7 in Nelson). Great camo but Troodles spotted it in the end. A Saturday evening was a good time to do this one. TFTC.

Fantastic tree - loved the feel and look of it. Took a while to track down, luckily it was quiet at GZ.
TFTC.

Stopped in with Moturoa. Nice spot

Had to visit a couple of times to eventually find it. Was starting to think it wasn't actually there!



A very cleverly laid cache.
