Appears that in reality this has been gone for some time. Not helped by someone logging on the wrong date. Won't replace.
Mum and I went to pick up the trackable thats been here for over 3months now and the cache was not where we had previously found it. We did find an empty ziplock baggie 
We wided the search area abit to make sure it hadnt move slightly but still found nothing. This cache needs checking on.

A nice way to start the day.
Training over for the day so Kiwicampnut and I headed out for some finds. #1 for the evening.
Nice quick find, though a few campervans seemed to be settled in for the night.

No sports at this time of day and yes we mined the beach. Thanks for a quick find. Kiwicampnut
:OAfter staying over for new year with the campervan, went for a bike ride in Cobden. An easy find for this one for us. Thanks
Spent a while looking all around where I was being pointed by GPS, but couldn't locate it. I take it that the cache is still there? I was a bit flustered as a really hot day in the week following Xmas.
No muggles today combination of no sports and horrible weather lol - great for cachers instead lol Quick park and grab signed the log thanks for the cache 
Spent a bit of time to grab a few more greymouth caches as we were heading home. Grabbed this one in another unfamiliar place but once there it was no problem. A quick grab and sign and we headed off TFTC
TFTC. A quick spot of hunting and the cache was in hand - fairly peaceful on a Sunday morning.
Twas quite muddy around here tonight, and took a little hunting in the dark to find it. Cheers Gav [9490]
Good breakers today. Wet long grass and the spare shoes were drying from yesterday's caching. Oh well, a cache is a cache! Easy find.
#1594 (6/25 on a third day on the Coast). Floundering a bit on this one, so used the hint. Nice spot. TFTC.
Mother and kids sitting by beach not far away but just out of site at the cache. TFTC
A quick easy find on a lovely sunny day at the beach, so we had our lunch there too. TFTC

I was too early for the sportsters (1015am! )- they must start games later here on the 'coast'. I was somewhat surprised that there was only one surfer in the car park and none out on the water taking advantage of the perfect waves being held up by the strong off-shore breeze.
Not too many muggles about today so a quick find in the second spot checked. TFTC
Not where I first looked. Where can it be - over there maybe and I was right. TFTC
We decided to sleep overnight on the beach here (legal for S/C motorhomes) and found there are geocaches all over the place! Greymouth geocachers are very active! I decided to walk 130m and there was a cache!

Found with gracie7. Decided to start geocaching so I am logging all old finds. TFTC
After not being able to find it with my 2 annoying nephews I went back for a third time with my non geocaching sister. Prob wouldve been so much easier with a GPS as Google Earth had me looking in the big tree... (hehe)
Not much happening here today so it was a pretty easy place for a search which didn't take long. Went for a short walk on the beach afterwards - I love this place! TNLN Thanks,
Quick find by Mrs houza on this occasion, our caching skills are strong! No GPS for this one. Cheers TFTC TNLN
No time for a run or anything else apart from finding and signing the log. Lovely area will return when I have more time available.
Thanks

Nice quick drive in. Visiting my sister who lives a bit further up on the "north shore"
Mrs Sobad didn't think she had ever been to Cobden although Sobad was sure she had. Anyway we decided to do a couple here and a couple in Greymouth before checking out. Familar name before us in the log!! Left geocoin that we thought the owner would not like taken to Nelson. TFTC
The first cache of the morning and a nice easy find. Retreated to the car to do the paperwork to avoid the drizzle! TFTC
We required two visits to make this find, as there was a rugby league final being played when we came here first at about 4.00pm. There were muggles everywhere. We found the cache, nicely hidden and dropped in Dale the Mounty TB. TFTC
Watch the young muggles playing league. After that a quick find Took unite for tank geocoin
Nice spot for a cache, gave up on watching the warriors so went caching instead. Found quickly TFTC

10pm on a Friday and some parking up in the immediate vacinity - managed to sneak up on it from behind though.
Well I didn't read the info properly and went to find this on a saturday afternoon! Needless to say there were lots of young muggles playing league so I just scoped out the possible GZ. Came back tonight with Mandz and had a very fast find in the dark. Lots of stars out tonight.

FTF! 2nd for the day. We're not addicted really.. but when we saw it pop up at 8.30pm we thought our luck might be in. Thankfully B had his caching eyes on and it was found in a few minutes. Not bad for darkness. TFTC
