12-Nov-10
We had a nice stroll after noodle for dinner and there were not many muggle around. Had to recalibrate the compass to get this one. Before hand we were on the wrong side of the road.
 
10-Nov-10
Was way off at 1st but photo helped me see what was wrong.
SL L Best of British geocoin for this urban cache. Needs new log sheet.

Nice central city find
Love the magnetic touch
Just sit down and do your business as people pass by
Found by Anna & Chris from Palmerston North
 
24-Oct-10
I found what I thought was the place to rest your feet, but had no idea what I was looking for or meant to do. Checked the next place to rest your feet too - so obviously I wasn't in the right place.

hmmm
 
21-Oct-10
Quick find. Round about where I would expect to find it.TFTH
 
28-Sep-10
nice resting spot very busy
 
28-Sep-10
mind all the mugglers
 
27-Sep-10
A very quick find late in the evening with almost nobody around. Cache was on the ground, I replaced it where it should have been. Signed log, TFTC.
 
09-Sep-10
I think it was harder to find a place to fill in the log then to find the cache. TFTC
 
08-Sep-10
Needed somewhere to tie my shoelaces on my way back from class...good spot
 
04-Sep-10
Found quite easily once was on right end. The pencil might want to get replaced soon as is getting very short. TFTC
 
24-Aug-10
Visited in the CacheMobile
 
24-Aug-10
Managed to do this one at a lunch time after dropping the CacheMobile off across the road to Mama. Had to wait while a couple of muggles finished lunch a few feet away, then dropped the pen, retrieved the cache and signed log, followed by a shoelace to replace. Thanks for the cache!!
 
11-Aug-10
what a special cache on a very special day, our first son was born just a few hours before we had this cache in our hands, thanks to our caching buddies. TFTC
 
11-Aug-10
This was a special cache for us. Our newest addition to geocaching was proudly photographed with this cache, only a couple of hours old. Couldnt believe there was this cache outside the door. lol. TFTC.
 
10-Aug-10
Great, quick urban micro. Not too many people around at 7am. As others have commented, this cache is easier to find with your hands, than eyes. Great hide! TFTC.
 
16-Jul-10
Took a while. Finally found the cache (?) - see attached photo but didn't have opener. Smile. Cruel trick. Found the logbook nearby and signed.
 
14-Jul-10
Conveniently located to grab between hospital visiting!! GPS not too much use, but common sense lead PB to the right spot quite quickly, while Annie hovered in a 5 minute park! TNLN TFTC
 
12-Jul-10
TFTC! Finally found the cache site free of muggles. Had had a few tries at this one before but always a busy site.
 
09-Jul-10

TFTC! [:-D]
 
01-Jun-10
Easier to find by touch than sight

31-Jan-10
We were on the wrong side of the street at first as GPS reception was poor. TFTC
 
30-Jan-10
Great cache location, just outside my work's door. Had to come back a second time to get this one as far too many muggles lerking around during business hours. Got it this morning before work. TFTC.
 
27-Jan-10
Visiting charming Dunedin for the Master's Games and doing a few caches around the Motel. A gentle after dinner stroll in the twilight, a quick muggle-free find and back home for supper. Hard to beat!
cheers, roymerc
 
26-Jan-10
Found this on an early evening stroll about city. Easy find, not too many muggles about. TFTC.
 
24-Jan-10
Definitely worth visiting after hours to avoid muggles! TNLN, TFTC!

Horrible day in Dunedin today.

Not a soul about near GZ, so easy to find and log...

TFTC
 
29-Dec-09
A quick stop on the way to the supermarket.
I couldn't find the cache last time I was in Dunedin.
Found it ok this time with a little help from W.E.K.A.
Thanks.
 
27-Dec-09
Early on a Sunday morning made this cache an easy one to get to with not much muggle traffic to dodge. Nice one. Thanks WallaceDuo for the cache.
 
14-Dec-09
I do not count my attempts here. To many muggles in each weather and every time. Finally today it was free for seeking:) TFTC
 
06-Dec-09
A quick find after some lateral thinking. Luckily it was quiet and wet so not many muggles to contend with. TFTC
 
27-Nov-09
Quick easy find, TFTC
 
12-Nov-09
Had to wait for the right time. TFTC
 
03-Nov-09
Found the cache on the second attempt, daylight certainly helped! A few muggles about but fortunately had followed Eli the Mooses lead and took the pram to hide my activity! TFTC.
 
25-Oct-09
Early Sunday morning, few muggles around made for a quick find.
 
07-Oct-09
Great spot, not too much muggle traffic this cold wet october morning TFTC Smile
 
02-Oct-09

18-Sep-09
Found by process of elemination. signed the fresh log book. Did this with Badgermushroom. TFTC
 
08-Sep-09
Replaced log book
 
08-Aug-09
A Team effort - adults trying to look nonchalant while kids scramble around oblivious to muggles - luckily no one pays any attention to kids to what kids do best!

26-Jun-09
This one was not too hard to find - thankfully, as there were muggles galore around. Signed log paper, but the logsheet urgently needs replacing. Rumour has it that one needs to watch for falling cranes at this intersection!!
Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1615)
 
13-Jun-09
Nice easy find on the cover of darkness,
Signed log easily and replaced

Not sure on how this could be found with google maps??

TFTC
 
13-Jun-09
Logsheet Full, needs replacement

Nice and easy at night - no muggles Smile Cheers Gav [3763]

Found this one whilst caching with Moneydork and Rediguana.
 
31-May-09
A great wee night time find. TFTC
 
28-May-09
After trying several times when the area was too busy and having embarrased my family (who were no help) I returmed today and found and logged it.
Thanks
ernienz
 
08-May-09
I didnt find it but I was there it was write by the tower in south Island !
 
17-Apr-09
Virtually spotted the container on google high res imagery, walked to the spot without GPS and used stroller to hide any suspicios activity associated with retrieval Wink TFTC
 
16-Apr-09
Had to sit for a looooooong time to get this one. Once I finally narrowed down GZ it was then a case of extraction. Lots of walking muggles and 3 sitting muggles near me so I use the tie-the-shoelace act and it worked!!! Nice hide. TFTC
 
16-Apr-09
Quiet tonight. Managed a sly extraction then raced back to my boyfriend waiting in the car. This spot would get very busy at times!
 
11-Apr-09
There was not a soul about even though it was almost 10am.
 
05-Apr-09
Tried during the day but it was muggle mayhem so came back at night and much quieter. Quick find, TFTC Smile
 
24-Mar-09
Found by McAdies on our holiday around the South Island.
Nice easy find, Thanks! Avoiding the muggles took a while!
 
15-Mar-09
Finally found this one after 3 visits. Not sure why it took so long to put my hand in the right place. Having loads of muggles around each time didn't help. tftc - pleased to have it off the list.
 
04-Mar-09
...boy, do I feel sheepish. Red Face
Can't believe I missed this one...got it this time! Everyone was busy partying at the Mint Chicks concert, so I decided to duck out for a little bit of caching.

Cheers,
Blarghster.
 
02-Mar-09
Have tried this one multiple times. Even got hints from someone who has found it before, to no avail.
 
15-Feb-09
Sunday afternoon is a good time for retrieving this cache as there are not too many Muggles about.
 
12-Feb-09
GPSr took us to the middle of the road! However, found the cache quite quickly. This was our 100th find and we were only 11882 miles from our home co-ordinates! Are we geocachers taking things a bit too far?!!! TFTC
 
09-Feb-09
Finally, after passing almost daily- muggle free . Usually at night there is so much student behaviour going on in this area - with this as a popular site for sitting down and having a bit of a party.I cleaned out the hedge, and found lots of evidence, bottles, shots glasses, and even a tumbler. But the cache was a quickie Smile
 
09-Feb-09
A quick find once we hit ground zero...actually I was contemplating how to find it without drawing attention....leaned down on one arm all casually and happened to place my hand right on it! If anything, our suprise at finding it so quickly would have drawn attention.
TFTC a good urban lunchtime.
 
09-Feb-09
Nice easy find. Yet another one found with knottsav
 
08-Feb-09
Quick find on a 30degree day
 
08-Feb-09
A quick find in the obvious spot - once I'd randomly picked one side of the road. It certainly wasn't obvious to the GPS! TFTC
 
20-Jan-09
Walking to work today and realised I was passing the spot. Quick check at the most likely spot came up trumps (good thing I had shoe laces to do up!). TFTC.
Cheers,
G.
 
18-Jan-09
Dial up speeds keep us strictly traditional, and nothing else needed with local knowledge. Admired the container.
 
11-Jan-09
#508 (2/3 CHC->DUD). A surpsing number of muggles just on dark on a Sunday night. GPS some way off (wrong side of road), but got there in the end. TFTC.
