Found, not sure why it popped up on my GPS when it is achived but it is still there so I will log it anyway as we cycled up from the camp ground. TFTC
A great spot to stop as we zigged, zagged and zigged our way over the hill. A nice easy find too.

After a nice drive though some scenic bush area, we arrived at GZ to get a good glimpse of the spot that we were heading to, was busy taking photos while –gonefishing- went and did the honours, a very interesting spot to hide the cache, love the hint and it made full sense as we arrived at GZ.

Steep slope, take care. Hadn't got any painted shells, so took nothing.

equipment to paint a shell! TFTC and greetings from Germany!

Drizzling in the hills this morning for a slightly soggy find and a limited view of the bay. Beautiful shells.

We had had a beautiful day at Totaranui with the odd shower here and there. Just as we got back to the cars the rain came in, which as perfect timing! Bagged this cache in the rain on the way home. Not much of a view or glimpse at the time due to low cloud. TFTC.
A quick stop off on the road to Totaranui - a bit grey today. A surprisingly quick and easy find - many thanks. Then back to the unsealed road...
Mr KE was out caching with Biggles today. A quick stop on our way to Totaranui. The shells are just amazing but we didn't have anything worthy of leaving so no swaps. The cache container is in good condition and seems to defy gravity, hopefully it hangs on there. TFTC.
And so over the hills and far away to Golden Bay. First find in the Bay this morning with Mr KE. Nice one, TFTC, Biggles.
ha ha, was going to go riding from the top, but in came the weather, ,so we drove on down and found this without the clue on the way. Nice one.thnx
Any easy find in the end but i was a bit scared of sliding down the hill and the prickly gorse. Sorry no shells from us. TFTH
Beautiful spot, and lovely cache contents, only sad we didnt have something to swap so we left it untouched, just signed the log. next time we will come equipped with some pretty shells :O) x
Stopped off on the way over the hill, great to find a nice big parking area, had to use the clue although it was where the GPS said GZ was still manage to find it OK. Now I want to know who but the dryed up dead possum on top of the rock It gave be a hell of a fright {grin} Some cool shells, I didn't have any to swap so left a Truck TB the closest thing I had 
Had a look on our way in and again on the way out of Totaranui. Unless it is further away then we thought for a 2.5 terrain then we think we checked the few possible places for a regular. Had no luck with regulars in the area today!!
I have been meaning to go for a drive over here for the last few weeks and since there was the chance of a couple of FTFs i thought there was no better time.haven't driven into here for years as i usually come by boat so thanks for giving me the excuse to go for nice drive.Didn't get time to paint any shells so no swaps today.TFTC and FTF.
