found where it should have been and in its place was a CRC canister cap with a Colmans mustard glass container, plastic screw-on cap (one inside the other) with a signed piece of paper inside. No pencil or anything else, inside a zipper type plastic bag hidden under three smallish rocks!!!!!! I also signed the piece of paper and replaced all as I found it. Then, when I wind up the computer and go to log it, I find I have been MUGGLED!!!!!!!!!!!
Could the owner please check this cache out? There have been a succession of DNFs and uncertainty about his cache, thanks.
After hunting around for a while an empty small container, lid and plastic bag were found strewn in the grass near a likely hiding spot. Wrote a note questioning, "Is this the cache?" Could the owner please check this out? Rehid it in what may have been the original hiding spot under some stones.
Yep this needs checked, returned again today for the third time and with a different person.... 5 of us have searched on three occasions, YES it is VERY trampled. Dangerous and slippery now on the dry barley grass !!!!!!!!!!!! Is geocaching recognised by ACC ???
Seriously ...two visits, four people over two hours ! All I can think of is IN THE AUSSIES. Where is it ?????
Hi there
You may want to check this is in situ as we found lots of evidence of searching but no cache at the GZ. Please note we were on target according to a previous cacher who has already logged it. Don't want to be more specific in case we missed it and this log may give it away.
Cheers.

Cheers and thanks,

Lots of muggles biking along Rail trail. Quick find after dechipering the clue.
A quick find in a nice spot on the Rail Trail. We found this cache while riding from Alex to Clyde with the family. Took TB with us to help it on its journeys. TFTC [^]
Fresh Snow on the Tops! Had to find this early as my Cycle Party were on a different route to Alex!

riding the rail trail on a school camp and had to do the caches as we passed by. TFTC
5846 First or Last... it’s something we will have to decide on when we get around to riding the Central Otago Rail Trail, TFTC
The last of 41 cache finds on or near the railtrail over a very enjoyable 4 day trip. Tftc
Came through the field of thyme below which smelt beautiful after the rain this morning. Good hide. Am looking forward to riding the trail one day soon. TFTC
Cheers Gav [6663]Wasn't first and wasn't last - it was #1300 for me. One day I will cycle this. One day.

TFTC. Had to hunt around for this one. Found on Southland trip.
One I forgot/missed to log.

Found while on a trip from Australia to Queenstown for a work conference with my mate Marshy (Blacklegend17) who came along for the ride. One of 220 finds for the 8 days we were on the South Island. Out to Cromwell and Alexandra for some more night caching. Interesting site. Thanks for the hide.
Second day/night of our New Zealand South Island Geocaching adventure. With my good mate and caching buddy, Marty (quasar3671). Our entire track was from Christchurch to Queenstown then on to Dunedin and finally back to Christchurch. 220 Caches in all in 7 nights/8 days.
Another night find. Good little walk and a quick find. Great history. Dont understand the reference "In the Aussies" perhaps referring to down under....
Thanks for the hide.

A very pleasent walk on a brisk morning! Was hoping the clue would become obvious when I got there, still have no idea what it means! A lovely spot though, thanks from bringing me there.
Found at 1455.
Another one on my TF list ticked off.
We had worked out what the clue meant before we got there. However they mislead us for a few minutes, that's the "neighbours" for you.

All three Guzzi Riders decided to take a short segment on the rail trail. This was pretty close to the start for us. An enjoyable day. We ended up doing 30km from Clyde to Galloway and return.
Visited Central Otago to take part in NZ Orienteering Champs, ride the Rail Trail and enjoy this beautiful area including many sites around Queenstown. We (Roel, Di and Nigel) enjoyed the trip with beautiful weather (some morning frosts!) This cache was the first for us on the trail having done several others with Jojoes in the area. Many thanks.

Found 26/3/10.Hot day walk and took a little while to find.Impressive viaduct.TFTC
In our case it was the first, last and only heading back to Clyde after biking to Alexandra on the 150th Anniversary track. This was a nice little bit of cross training before taking part in the National Orienteering Champs over Easter. TFTC.
Just realised what the name means! Too hot at 35 degrees to even think! Liked the clue - clever. Still plenty of plums.
If you walk across the bridge you can hear the pigeons cooing beneath your feet. Delicious plums on the trees near the Clyde end of the bridge!
Hiked in from the nearby road and noticed some fruit trees dropping their wares on the trail. Sampled them on the way back out and they were pretty nice! That makes this a great cache site!
Thanks Don Keyotee - left a picture of the bridge.

Our first find, took a bit of time due to lack of experiance, enjoyed the hunt.
Very cool, enjoyed another wee walk on the rail trail. Must get around to biking it soon, it looks great.

A quick find at the start of a Rail Trail expedition. Nice old bridge. Signed log, TFTC!
Was good find. Recruited some possible Gecko Pirate Squad new members so this was their 1st find and our 1st find of the decade! TFTC

Great day for a bike ride. Clue helpful. Left jandal keyring, took smurf. TFTC
Just recovering from a bout of the flu, so clambering around here was a bit exhausting, but nailed it after the Mrs correctly interpreted the hint. TFTC.
Great spot for a cache,and a good example of the work that went into building the rail line.
Dropped of TB Speedracer.

Definitely our first find of the biking the rail trail, having only just set off. Nice quick find. Nice spot to readjust the helmets and seats. TFTC.
Parked the car nearby and walked the 500m to this one. It had me fooled for 10 minutes as I was looking for a Regular-sized (2 ltr) cache. This one is a Small size (500ml) . Great spot for a cache though. TFTC!

Walked in from Young Lane this time, having biked past on several occasions. No muggles and no problems finding the cache.
+ a marble, - nothing.

On our way to Clyde - sprung by some muggles on the trail ans waited for them to leave before re-hiding - TFTC
Found with max.corboy & Tim 172. Very busy bike traffic due to a cracker Easter weekends weather. TFTC.
I remember the old Muttontown Gully before they smoothed out the main road - it was one of those beaut "sudden dips". This is the area I was born and raised in. Still love coming back to Central. Easy find, good clue! SL TFTC
Last cache on the Rail Trail. Sad to fininsh, in the mood now and could keep on cycling. It's been an awesome trip, neat locations, and very informative. TFTC TNLN
Took us a while to finnd it - found a roosting pigeon first! Got there in the end although there is obviously a gap in our education as the clue remains a mystery!
Oh, a chance at a FTF whilst on holiday but no such luck, beaten to it before I turned up at midday so I'll settle for STF. Nice spot, really busy day with heaps of cyclists. TNLN Thanks, coin picked up by the FTF.
