Gausstoun Park (Southland) Wallacetown, South Island, New Zealand
By kryshan on 24-Oct-09. Waypoint GC2084K

It's time for this one to go sorry guys, when we hid it the vegetation was nowhere near the size it is now and the intention wasn't for it to be a bush bashing experience.

Found in the company of the owner, TFTC

Found both.
A few scratches gained on both hides.
Log sheet very damp did not have a spare in my ute today.
TFTC

Found both. This is a well maintained park. Tftc

Couldnt find WP1 just used second hint for final. Took a little to find was buried in mud and debris. I have brought back up to surface but still hidden in place, I think some of the flaxes have erodded or come away. SL and returned, heaps of gorse at final. Cache was very wet and log was damp found it hard to sign. Finally found though was second attempt. TFTC

*Another good find.
Nice day going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*
We fairly soon had the container located at final area. SL: **tm/ww NZ**
Thanks for putting this multi-cache out for us to visit!

Overgrown final area, container and log damp / wet.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around!

On a three week trip to the lower South Island with tmann421 hunting caches.
Enjoyed the trip around and the challenge of the finds.

Cache 554 nice little park/cemetery made a quick dash across to WP1 as the dog at the property next to the park was barking at me, quickly found the container with the final coordinates (slightly wet but readable) plugged in the needed info then shot to GZ and the final was quickly in hand (cache slightly damp but no surprise in this weather) nice easy multi T4TC ️

Interesting spot, took me a few circuits to spot the hint object. Signed one of the pink pages

wp1 is missing so i used the clue in the same cemetery and there it was

DNF waypoint 1, but luckily got this one tagged with great hint. Cheers.

Monday 2 November. Headed out to Otautau today. Another cool overcast day this morning at 8deg. Toby lets get exploring!

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

(# 6118). Day 8 of my South Island odyssey. Today is getting some caches between Dunedin and Invercargill/Riverton as well as having a good look around.Quick finds of the containers. Everything in order. TFTC

Not sure why I haven't found this cache before but all sorted today. Very nice cemetery and park. TFTC # 15,484

My third cache on this Leap Day! Greetings from Washington state. We are on day 29 of our 5 week NZ road trip. It’s been awesome and we have just one week left. Driving from Manapouri to Invercargill today and I’d chosen a few choice caches to ask my muggle hubby to stop for. Hoping to get a variety today to add to my Leap Day numbers. Muggle hubby really enjoyed this historic place- thanks for placing a cache here to point it out- would not have stopped otherwise. Nice to add this simple multi to my tally. It was a little awkward to retrieve this cache because of the smallish log debris that has been tossed out around GZ. TFTC

A week of work in Invercargill. After work today I headed to Colac Bay and Riverton for an evening of caching. Called in on the way back. Soon found WP1. The final has a lot of garden waste material around it but was still easily located. Thanks for the cache.

Nice and easy tftc

Nice wee area, tftc

Another day out caching. Not to hard thanks

Looked for this when I first started caching to no avail. Geo-senses have kicked in now, an easy find tftc

TFTC- quick find today- had been out here many moons ago but was unable to find the first stage. Maybe it was missing away back then
Needed this one to fill requirements for the latest challenge

Easy find but mind the gorse.

On holiday and travelling to next destination. Easy to pull over in motorhome and have some fun. Took a while to find the first cache as silly me thought I was looking for a black film container. All good then onto the next. Happy to sign the log and get a smile. Thanks for the cahce kryshan.

First part very difficult and painful to find but second part fine.

Tim and Viv - ddm

Heading down to Monkey Island and Clifden for the last two caches I need for the Old School Challenge. Mission accomplished and then back to Invercargill I go. Still time for a few more along the way including one of my favourites - a cemetery multi. Soon had the numbers needed and a nice quick find TFTC

hard to get to, mind the edge

**On safari - tracking down hidden creature trophy heads to hang in the hunting lodge gallery.**
*Little blue filmcan WP is where it should be but co'ods slip was sopping wet. Changed to RITR slip sealed in small bag. Small WP brought more into view. Glad it wasn't the dead gorse, nasty sucker. Final in good condition.*
___
Found 26 Sep 15 WP1 filmcan without difficulty only after being covered in sticky little golden leaves, wheep my long hair is so curly. Final soon in hand and SL, threw in some swag and grabbed the goods in a new poly baggy. Re-hidden at spot but adjusted so it won't get so buried this time from the garden debris piled up. TFTC

No luck today, we could not find the first one, even though we crouched through the bushes

A week away down south and a chance for some caching. Was a nice and easy find this with the hopes of lots more. TFTC

#4843. I have been in Southland for a week on a work trip but all that time was spent in Fiordland. I now have two days off and time to grab as many caches as I can find. Hired a rental car and set off on the adventure in glorious warm, sunny, dry, summer-like weather. Today I decided I would do 4 multis. I need them done in a single day to complete a challenge cache up in Christchurch. Didn't take too long to locate the two containers. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Interesting local reserve. Thanks for the multi-cache kryshan. Favourite since its the first time I have found 4 multi-caches in a day.

After meeting up with DSI when he spotted me at Saleyard Views I asked his help with this one. Have been here a couple of times without luck. Having not found the way point container (after someone else easily found it) I looked for the hint objects as previous logs indicated the final was in the park. Turns out I hadn't widened my search area enough to track it down.
Thanks for the help DSI.
Thanks for the smilie.

On the way to Riverton and decided to give this multi cache a go as usually the Jr. Cachers aren't particularly interested in them. Didn't take long to find the first container, although the contents were quite damp. Got the coordinates loaded into the GPSr and found the final after a bit of a search. Thanks for the multi.

A nice place to visit and grab a cache in no time at all had it in hand Sl and returned tftc

No luck with the first stage but the final location was easy to spot. Nice park. TFTC.

Couldn't locate first one. But found second one ok

Couldn't find first one. Followed clues and found second one.

Had some time to kill before the cattery opened on the way back from a long weekend away, so we thought this was the perfect way to finish the day! Found the cache site, and had a lovely friendly black and white cat smooching around while we signed the log.

Had some time to spare before picking cats up from cattery. Quick find for both waypoint and final. Thanks. Ironically, a local muggle was witnessing our every move!

Found the wee blue filmcan in good spot nice'n'dry and entered the co'ods. Thought I got a number wrong as the arrow didn't move very far. Shrug and thought worth a crack Nigel. Cache was extracted eventually from stick hide well grounded and so lonely. Doesn't get many visits and was a little wet. SL the dry log and returned to hide. tftc

Couldn't find the waypoint, found the cache without any trouble. Tftc!

Nice find on my way home

Stopped in to check and replace WP and final. Please bring own pencil as it has gone walkies.

A bit of a search and history

Found on a wee visit to Wallacetown.

Yes 2nd visit, never found wp1 but found final

Like others we had trouble with finding the waypoint, but found the final. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

A nice little cemetery. Found with debsnz

TFTC Bart and Emilie from Belgium. Wp1 very wet but ok.

No chance to find the box at WP1, but we could find the final. Thanks for the short Multi.

Like the most other person, we didn't found WP1, but we found the final, due the good hint.

Found on an overcast Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Went and checked this one, WP is fine with no gorse over the cache spot, so check you have the right area finders. Final is all good too

Quick find with Mum and dad while checking cache

Didnt worry about WP1, easy find.

Couldn't find wp1 but found using second clue.

Think placement of first waypoint needs reviewed?

Think the first stage is now too overgrown to get to? Saw several places that matched hint but inaccessible due to gorse. Found final cache by following the clue

Couldn't find first way point so just went looking for final cache!

coundnt find it, maybe next time

TFTC, could not find WP1, but found final by using the hint.

Stopped by to check and replace the wet part, good to go now

Will disable until we get a chance to replace

Found the first part, but very water damaged and didn't have paper to replace!

TFTC lovely spot on our wee driving cache tour!

Very pretty historic setting for this cache. Enjoyed having a look around. TFTC

Our first geocache experience. Close to home.

This was a tricky one to find

Nice wee spot. Nice views of snow capped mountains. TFTMC

Thank you for this interesting cache - I had no idea that Wallacetown was called after that Sir William Wallace - there is a Virtual Cache in London related to a memorial plaque in his name (GC22E5), which I found last Christmas.
A lovely setting for the graveyard. TFTC.

What a great cache and an interesting old spot. Thanks for bringing us here for a look around. We really enjoyed it. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC never been here before

Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through, on our 'how ever long it takes' NZ tour.

Thanks for setting this up.

Mud & Kim

What a lovely area.

Had fun here, our first multi. Interesting place thanks for bringing us here.

Found the first cache with ease, but couldn't find the second one. the app on my phone I use doesn't seem to like inputting manual gps coordinates, so will find a better app then retry.

quick find on the way home from a quick trip to Invers.... tftc

Found by the youngest on the way to Riverton. Cleaver little multi, only took a few minutes to complete . TFTC.

found this one while having xmas day at the brothers was a short walk.TFTC

Replaced info in the WP, and replaced logbook in the final. Good to go now.

2nd time lucky! Log book VERY wet , can't really write in it! Good lil spot.

Another day in town with the kids, thought we would give geocaching a nudge.

Log book was wet so couldn't input our names.

Found it. Coordinates given sent me straight to the spot by passing WP1. log book very wet.
TFTC. Thanks for bringing me to this spot did not know it existed.

This was a nice and very easy multi, we arrived and found a carpark right in front of this nice little small historical cemetery and went to the first waypoint. After a quick search we found the container, BUT the contents in this container was a bit wet so it was a bit hard to read the writing, but got there in the end. Off to the final location and we found the cache very quickly. Another nice little spot that we would have not know if it was not for caching, thanks for bringing us here, took the pathtag to move to a new home. TFTC LNSL (2965)

Our 950! Possibly wouldn't have tried for this if there hadn't been an El Cheepo rental sleeping at the nearby drive-by but glad we did. A very nice cemetary and short easy multi. Took mag micro geoccoin left pathtag so PIGO TFTC

Nice easy multi. Both caches were very wet but usable. Could do with some TLC.

thanks for cache left a geocoin

Started off in the wrong place, but with a little bit of luck and good management, finally found the right location. TFTC

Quick find, thx

5973 A nice historical cemetery and a lovely park, many thanks for the multi.

It is still there and was an easy find on our tour along the coast. TFTC

Waypoint was still in place, and cache is good to go

Will try and get out to check this soon

An interesting location for a quick visit. The first stage micro could not be found, despite an extensive search and helpful hint. Hope it's still there.

A nice easy cache.

Nice location

TFTC

Found it after visiting friends in Wallacetown
