Once again!! this is the third time i have searched here. over the past 4 years! this time was the ideal time as the cafe was closed and few people around on a sunday evening BUT it was raining, pouring in fact so at least there was a little shelter but once again no cache! Is it still there????? !

Please check if it’s still there

Hunted and hunted but no luck!! Will come back sometime soon!

NICE CACHE found on the way to the Highlanders vs hurricanes in Dunedin. Took some time but found it.

A tricky one here , but found after a hunt. Tftc.

Nice wee find hard 2 b stealthy

Quick find this evening. Easy to find following the clue, but avoiding the public was the tricky part! TFTC

Lucky for us the kitchen was quiet today nice quick find and sign thanks Adventure Tharon

Just as well for the hint as I stopped short of gz. Nice little nano. Thanks for bringing us here Adventure Tharon.

Heute fuhren wir mit unserem CM von D. nach Te Anau, machten viele Stopps und fanden einige Caches. Dieser hier war der dritte. Nach dem Log hatten wir noch ein lustiges Gespräch mit einer Angestellten des Hauses. DFDC!

On ja holiday trip in New Zealand was looking for a few geocaches places were beautiful and great thanks
greetings from Finland

Enjoyed the history and the hint!

Several people around but no one looking our way so managed to find it, sign it and return it without a problem. Thanks.

took a while to zoom in on the correct spot but after reading a previous log knew exactly what I was looking for tftc

Early Sunday morning.. almost no traffic and nobody around.. perfect timing!!

Kids found while we waited for lunch. Well done team!

Having found Time for a yarn with my overseas visitors (who I am trying to get as addicted to geocaching as I am) it seemed like time to show them what a micro could be like. Predictably they were still searching when I found it and called them over. Oprah was so surprised at the size that she took a photo. William was also very impressed. This was only their second cache but I think they're pretty keen to look for me as they keep travelling through New Zealand and then Malaysia. Thanks very much for placing the cache. We were lucky with a quiet Saturday afternoon. I think it would be very difficult to find and retrieve on a busy weekday. A great challenge. Thanks

Quick find after a coffee

Another great find

Picked up these two caches as we drove by the quaint town of Milton. Dashed across the road and quickly found the little fella in the corner. TFTC!

Good find with turfychipmunk

CZECH
no joo, klasika ve městě

Quick find while passing though....thanks ...

Day three of my long, long weekend in Otago and Southland and I’m loving every moment of it. Woke this morning in my Airbnb in Winton to the sound of rain so I was a little downcast thinking I was back to wet shoes and socks for the day. However, my fears were misjudged as the day was crisp and clear. Left Winton with a good impression and more than I arrived (pre-arrival all I knew that the only woman hanged in New Zealand, Minnie Dean, came from here).

Making good progress heading towards Dunedin. Too good a progress and have ended up with a speeding ticket just outside Clinton. Oh well, these things happen. A quick find here and no muggles today and I'm back on the way towards Dunedin. TFTC

Nice and easy
All ok
Thanks for the info

I had a bit of a search for this many months ago but was put off by all the muggles. Today Traffic was quieter and I quickly located the container.

Quick find on a drizzly morning traveling up in a convoy on the way to Dunedin for an event. Due to the number of us, we have signed the log as SGCs (Southland Geocachers) TFTC

Stopped for a coffee and sausage roll on the trip north on the convoy for the Canada day event. Thanks, wish the weather was nicer though.

Quick park and grab, last one for the day. Luckily its nice and quiet. TFTC

A quick park and grab with Sirbennis. Driven past here hundreds of time and look thing I must stop here and get this one. So today is the day and it was an easy find altho it was on the ground. So signed the log putnitbback in place and off. TFTC

With Xlxmas we were taking a New Zealand round trip, and geocaching help us to find interesting places on the way. So we stopped here and found the cache easily. Thanks for inviting us to discover this place

a quick cache, nice hidden but the coord are not accurate or building effect..., we did in on our way to Dunedin, TFTC

Logging the replacement cache. Thanks for maintaining your cache AdventureTharon.

Had searched here before hoping it was back in place but dnf. Wheep got replaced three days afterwards and was the first cache to log after a return to the Toko for some findable caches. Co'ods had us a couple of metres out of the hint place where the crafty wee monster was soon in hand. Being the first to SL meant having to break the seal on the new roll after prying it from the con. Got the job done SL initials and returned to place. Thanks for replacing quickly after the other missing caches disappointed us last time, we didn't rehash the failed GZ's, though did grab Cat_'s fixed multi wp. A balmy 17° but still kept my Southland layer on, rain's threatening. TFTC

Replaced container.

Second DNF this rainy morning...

Found plenty of spots it could be but no luck.

searched the very specific hint area but no find here for me.

Omg that was awesome

?

Sneeky alright

Quick find no one around tftc

Another quick park n grab! TFTC!!!!

Found on road trip back to chch from ingill. Very cold winters day.

Was not expecting that! Great hide! Forgot my pen (again) but won't forget that one in a hurry!

#53 on a 3 day weekend of geocaching adventures down South. Found by J after a break in the traffic. TFTC

Quick easy find tftc

Good find. Thanks

It's getting dark, but a lovely warm evening. Quick stop on way home. TFTC

Super fast find and no mishaps.

Neat hide. Could have been easy to miss. Well done.

After a bit of shopping we found this on our way to Gore. Took a while to find the spot. Got it in the end, though. Nice hints. TFTC! Greetings from Denmark!

On our way from Dunedin to Alexandra we made some stops and found a cache. This cache was easily found. We got a cup of coffee afterwards.

Fourteenth find of the day!
We were out today, driving around the South Island. This was the eleventh cache we found.
We found the best point of entry from where we were and went off to GZ. After parking the car nearby, we headed to GZ. We looked around, not there, not in here, before... There it is! I quickly retrieved the cache, signed the log book and replaced it as I found it.
Thanks for the sneaky cache.
Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Coordinates were off by about 4 metres and cache and contents were in good condition.
Well done.

Tftc

Very quiet day in Milton. Glad I read the brief. I knew I was looking for a micro. Tftc

After a lunchbreak at the nearby Subways Restaurant we decided to extend our roadtrip-break and check on the two nearby caches - found both with no problems!

This one was despite a weekday pretty miggle free - the cafe was closed.

TFTC
Schily

Out and about very early this morning so i thought this would be a good time to pickup this one. Very few people around, just a couple of truck drivers and not much traffic. I found the cache easy enough because it was on the ground. Back to the car to sign and then replaced where i think it should go being magnetic. Found with The Real Batman.

Early start to today so decided to do a quick park and grab Before people wake up and make this one tricky. Had been past before during the day so had a rough idea of location but there were just too many people around. This morning had the area pretty much empty apart from a few truck drivers so made a dash, signed and got out again. Job done. Thanks for the cache.

On our seventh day in New Zealand we drove from Dunedin via the Southern Scenic Road to Bluff. Weather was not that great but the scenery was just awesome.
Our second one on that day. Already on a Sunday it was difficult to cross the street. The box itself was quickly found.
TFTC and greetings from Switzerland

A quick cache and some groceries was the plan.....didn't realise how long it takes to cross the busy road! Nothing quick about doing that twice. Well hidden cache, thanks AdventureTharon.

Found it. Awesome. Tricky. J & boo

We decided to fill take a drive and see a bit of the countryside before our flight back to Wellington. Milton fitted the bill. Found the little sucker without too much trouble. TFTC

Found this cache on the way to Lake Sutton event. Tftc

GPS signal had us across the road and wouldn't stay still. I checked the obvious place that matched the hint but not there when I looked, Mumander came back to check and soon was asking for a pen! Thanks. No muggles around today.

Stopped for lunch on trip to ChCh taking daughter and grandson to plane back to England. Best Anytar to find. It was so small you don't notice it isn't part of the structure. Tftc

Driven through many times. Nice to stop and catch up on some history. Many thanks

Found with Vydra20. TFTC

Found on the way to Blenheim. Nice break. TFTC!

On our way to Dunedin and thought we would stop for a stretch and see if this one was there, and yes it was, happy to finally be able to log the find. TFTC

CJ-Curry found this one, I was so zonked from driving I didn't have a hope!

Catching up on late logs, cheers

Hevic and I made this our last quick stop before we got home from Queenstown. A good, quick find, which was exactly what I needed after feeling rather bad for most of the way from Roxburgh. Nobody gave me a passing glance, and the shops nearby were empty thanks to it being Easter Monday. Cheers Tharon!

Easter Sunday when the shops are closed was the perfect day to find this one tftc

Easy find hate mircos

We’re here from the UK on the trip of a lifetime with Geocaching as one of the ‘must do’ elements of the trip.

Nooooo, not fair ! This is a NANO, not a micro ! We’d have found it quicker if we’d known. We stopped for a coffee at the cafe though and considered things before scooping it up. Thanks to the cache owner for giving us a stop in Milton, interesting little town with a couple of lovely buildings. And a good cafe !

On our way from Curio Bay, Waikawa, to Dunedin we made a stop and walked to this cache. Found it and logged it! A good thing that I read the CO will control all the logs! So, I give him a Favo point, well done!

TFTC!

HeerHennik,
The Netherlands.

Took a wee while to spot it TFTC

Found it

On our way to Queenstown! Had to stop to commemorate the furthest south latitude to date! TFTC!

It's a bolt

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Cheers. Log book replaced..

The log book is full, afraid had no spare nano log paper to help out on this one.

So glad there was no one around as it meant could hunt for this.

On a mission take 365 for the calendar year. 7 to go. Log is full do unable to sign. Took pic if CO requires evidence. TFTC

Log ful.sorru no replecments with me
Tflc

Nice quick find while passing through. Log full so found a spare space to sign. TFTC.

Spending Christmas this year with my family, and of course, lots of caching in the mix that means!!

Mum was keen to attend the events in Arrowtown, and I was keen to get the last of the lonely caches that I needed for the geocaching licences challenge.

On the way home, quickly and easily managed to get this one, and luckily everywhere was closed!!!

Consec caching day # 782

TFTC!!
