Found the spot I would expect it to be with the clue being so clear but no cache to be found..
A couple of DNF's and I was starting to doubt myself. Then came here and couldn't find a park. Finally stopped the cache mobile and approached GZ. Quiet, but u felt the eyes of the office windows upon me. No big tree, but ducked in beside green hint object and bingo, hands on cache container. Phew! Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25. Find # 1636
Quick walk and find from my Motel while down in town for a Lions Training weekend. Needed a walk in the dark after sitting all day.
Today's mission was marginally less ambitious than yesterday's however sadly also less successful. I ended up with a mere three finds of seven targets and around 10,000 steps - and two frozen cokes.
This was my second cache today and first actual find. It was easy find and hopefully I didn't look too dodgy.

After failing to find another cache nearby I went for a walk to this one.
Completely muggle-free on Sunday evening.

After two DNFs (one cache was likely missing), it was great to have a quick find here. TFTC Dawnchristine.
Cache # 3,980 - last find for CelloJoss and me on our trip to Christchurch. Quick one, with a spare 5 minutes before dropping off the car rental. All good here. TNLNSL. TFTC!
A quick find on a Sunday afternoon. I would hate to try and find this on a work day.
Nice easy find, there's a bit of condensation in there, you may want to bag the log? TFTH 
ReadyRex found your cache. Easy find but too wet to sign. There is a trackable "Japan" here but we didn't take it. This cache needs a bit of attention. TFTH
Wasn't sure of cache was meant to be sitting on top of the container or not? Moved it out of muggle sight! TFTC
Grabbed today while there were little workers around. Cheers have been after this one for a while now.
If you're going to find this Geocache, come after business hours as the location is very exposed and almost impossible to retrieve without being spotted. Either way, TFTC.
I was really unenthused about caching today ... its my 48th caching day in a row, I'd had a busy day at work and just wanted to stay at home. But I knew I would regret it if I didn't get a cache today. This was found easily as GZ was very quiet on a Sunday evening. TFTC!
Had some spare time in NZ before heading down to Antarctica. Thanks for the cache!
I've been thinking about picking this cache up for quite some time and today Burnsy and I actually stopped. We sort of found it by accident since it was under some trash we lifted up. It was bigger than I expected! We replaced it and covered it in better camo. Tftc.
Found after mini golf with team_macdonald amazing how many have found this one TFTC
Had a game of mini golf and would be rude not to grab this being so close tftc quick easy find
Night search so we had the street to ourselves. Miss 4 was excited about a heart bangle so we left a heart magnet in its place. Picked up our first geocoin too!
After 3 failures tonight I was feeling like it just wasn't my night. But at this stage in the game (45 days to go for the streak) I couldn't let it go. So this cache became my cache. Nice quick find although the sensor light kept picking me up which made me feel rather conspicuous. Tftc
Flew into Chch this morning to see family and aware that there was a souvenir available if a cache was logged today. Also a Dot Day for TregearP. We were a few moments ahead of schedule and that's all it took.
All in good order, TNLNSL, TFTC.

A quick detour on my way home after watching my niece score 2 tries in a rugby game. They won! This spot is usually busy but deserted this chilly Saturday afternoon. Tftc
2 English ex-pats now retired to Cyprus on their Big Trip. Some time to kill today before leaving for Oz so a couple of caches near to our motel. TFTC
Nog een laatste wandeling alvorens het vliegtuig naar huis te nemen.
Ook hier nog enkele schatten gevonden.

Just managed to squeeze in one more cache before we fly out of NZ. Glad we did, the nearby café has fortified us with an amazing breakfast. Thanks for placing
as did this during a work day, felt could be overlooked. Otherwise easy retreive/return. TFTC
Found with Chosen1978, Mrs Hazzer and Kiwigeoswami and Guwapo as team PEGS during CHCH Mega
Found with a group of lower South Island cachers at night. Always fun at night and even more fun when there is a group. TFTC
Papa's out for some night caching with the PEGS crew on day three of our Mega Adventure. Salamat.
This Cache was found during our Christchurch Mega Road Trip from the Deep South. A fabulous time was had exploring the region and discovering caches. All in all, a fun road trip with Guwapo, Granville86a, Mrs Hazzer and KiwiGeoswami, we signed the log as a Team under the name P.E.G.S to save both time and logsheet spaces. We found this cache as part of a larger group from the lower south island, TFTC
Thanks, nice spot. Found just before dark, a lady walking past must have wondered what we were up to...
Last cache of the day. Felt a bit exposed and I checked the appropriate side of the green thing last. Probably should have read the clue before I got out of the car rather than after I had found it! 
Thank you Dawnchristine for placing and maintaining this cache 
Thank you Dawnchristine for placing and maintaining this cache Quick find on our tour around Christchurch today. Loved the trackable we found but we think he is Ron rather than Harry ?

We had never been round this area, didn't realize how many businesses are round here. Geo kid found this 1, he was really pleased with his find. TFTH TFTC
A nice, easy find, thank you. However, I found this around 6 in the morning so the area was mostly deserted (mostly). I can imagine that during business hours it might be quite the undertaking to have an unsuspicious looking, unnoticed rummage around.
Even in the dark I felt quite exposed, shining a flashlight around the generic area which was - undoubtedly - picked up by several security cameras nearby.
Nonetheless, no SWAT-teams were dispatched, so how bad could it have been.
Dropped a geokrety.org travelbug. HINT: before moving this on, write down the code of this TB. Once you have moved it on, there is no way to find out which code it had, hence making it impossible to log it's movements. (Geokrety TB's apparently have two codes: a TB code and a separate tracking code). I think this is why TB tracking logs on Geokrety seem to be a bit...erratically. Like in this case, where the TB is still showing as being in Dunedin instead of Christchurch, and no way for me to change it. Owell, there are worse things in the world.
Thank you for the latch..err..cache.
PS No sign of the Clavent Wacky TB?
