No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

been a while since last "real" find

Some obvious places...think it's gone awol

Not found on a Catlins Caching Weekend with Jaycie, CJ-Curry and Hevic. Lots of bees in its place =(

While roaming NZ and encountering lovely landscapes, I found this cache.TFTC

I think it has gone AWOL.

very wet getting to cache.Could not find think it is gone

No luck for me either. Check both back corners, but no sign of anything big enough.
Not wet today, but has been. Cows hock deep in mud and telling me all about it.

Only had a quick look because it was piddling down.

Quick find under the watchful eyes of a herd of cows. Mooooo. Tftc ♡ ♥

Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.

Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.

Had a two night stopover in Invercargill, found on the way North

Easy a bit of a search

This cache could be found quickly after crowling through the plants.
Thanks and greetings from The Netherlands.

Found with Mr Potty on our way back from Curio Bay. Container is only 400ml not 1L!

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today on our way to Fortrose, Waikawa, Porpoise Bay and Curio Bay ... we love the Catlins and even more our stay with the Hector Dolphins and the 'yellow eyed' pinguïns!
TFTC and Greetings from Belgium.

Quick found!

18141 km from home we found this Cache while our holidays. Thank you very much for hiding and greetings from Dresden, Germany!

Place looks a bit lonely but we soon made our way to the cache TFTC

Coordinates seemed off a bit, but the find was made easily enough. Left Bravo Canada pin. TFTC.

Found by g on way back from Niagara, with rock n robyn

Difficult but found

Every day we are traveling around is same but also different. Today we had again the pleasure to visit some very beautiful spots and were also able to find nearly placed geocaches. I thank every single owner for placing it and giving us with doing this an other good reason to come here.

Mallorcatommy and I were on our journey through the southern island of New Zealand. With the help of geocaches we came to so many beautiful places, saw breath-taking landscapes and had, all in all a very wonderful journey! Thank you to all owners for placing all those nice geocaches!

A quick park n grab. Pity the grass is not looked after.

A quick find - but unfortunately the farmer stopped his tractor and started filling the seeds. So had to carefully backtrack and hope he did not see what we were doing. TFTC

This would have been a nice little place to stop in the MH but we decided to go on a little further to the NZMCA park. The grass was very long! TFTC.

It wasn’t pleasant making my way across the squelchy ground, but luckily I had PC Sniff cheering me on with helpful observations like “No point in both of us getting our shoes wet” and “You’ve found it? I was just about to come and help you but I won’t need to get my feet wet now”.
This was a welcome first stop on the third day of our cycle trip. Thanks for placing the cache (which was in great condition despite the swampy trail I made getting to it).

A quick find by my caching buddy whom I had sent in for this one as I noticed it was rather wet underfoot. A nice spot to rest a while while biking from Curio bay to Invercargill TFTC

Haha followe the geo track
Tflc

Wettest place we have been all afternoon chasing caches!

Fun

My feet got a bit wet but I got the cache! TFTC

A lovely quiet spot and a fitting memorial. TFTC

Did need some gummies - very easy find cheers

Found on a two day trip caching in the Catlins

Tftc! Our gum boots came in handy today

Very cold today. Hidden well but we got our very first geocache. So exciting!!

Thank you for the cache. We were with my wife on long trip around south east Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The caches showed us so many nice places.

A full day doing the scenic drive from Balclutha to Manapouri via The Nuggets, the Catlins, and Invercargill with a bit of geocaching along the way. Quick find. Signed log. TFTC!

During our wonderful travel from Christchurch to Steward Island we stopped here for a break. Lovely spot for a cache and good to find. Many thanks for showing us around. We have been here one year ago and it's always great to come back, such a beautiful place!

Quick easy find thanks.

Thanks for the cache

After the heavy rain the route to the cache was turning into a bog but at least it kept the muggles at bay.

Found. Resealed cache.

Found during our trip through New Zealand.

finally able to stop and log the cache found

Ground was a bit wet and muddy so we had to pick our way. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Wondered where GPS was taking us as we fought our way through the wet flax. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

found with hill55

one of several caches found today in the scorching heat with h2photoNZ TFTC

Today I drove from Invercargill to Dunedin, taking the scenic route. It was a great and sunny day and I got a lot of impressions, pictures, and memories from this trip. The geocaching along the way was always a welcome reason to make a stop and leave the car. I really enjoyed this day! Thanks to every owner who made this possible!

This cache I already attempted last night, returning from Curio Bay. But it was almost dark and I did not want to start a search with flashlight. As I knew I would return the next day I left without a find. Today in daylight the cache was quick in hand after I fought my way through the flax.

Thanks for the cache!

Found with my boy Zalgar on our holiday in New Zealand!

We found so many caches I am having a hard time keeping up with logs. So sorry for the generic post. Apart from some rain we had an amazing time and I loved my first visit to your country. Hopefully we will come back to see more in future.

TFTC! Zhaomin from China

Wet wet wet moo?! Hehehe

Was raining and the surrounding plant guardians did their best to get me soaked on route Once I reached where I thought it would be I was greeted face to face with a whole herd of bellowing cows! The Bull in particular didnt seem happy to see me so I signed and got out of there

Cheers from Australia!

Went for a nice caching tour in New Zealand. Starting from MEGA going southbound the scenic route to Queenstown. Nice things seem to be found here. The weather was nice, sometimes rainy, sometimes sunshine. Thanks for the nice trip.

A find late in the day, as we made our way from Dunedin to Invercargill on a nice sunny day (for a change!). Thanks kiwiarmy.

A nice quick find.

After a couple of days in Dunedin it was time for the team to head to Invercargil. This was one of the many stops along the way. Another neat little find for us.

Found with ZsaZsa7, Winglen, fitzy_1965 and Rextrex (local NZer) on our trip around the South Is after attending the New Zealand Mega. We managed to grab a few caches on travels and this was just one of them.

Thanks for the cache and the chance to see more of the South island.

A shared find with my Aussie caching mates Winglen, Zsazsa7, Sol de Lune and Fitzy-1965 as a part of the NZMEGA2012 experience and our subsequent tour.


A short stop for a stretch of the legs and a quick cache find. Thanks kiwiarmy.

5586 + 591 = 6177. Day 4 of my week long visit to the New Zealand South Island for the NZ Mega 2012 event along with Sol de Lune, Zsazsa7, Winglen and RexTrex.

Today we drove from Dunedin down to Invercargill caching along the way. Turning south we stopped for another quick find here - a bit boggy but all good with the cache. Thanks kiwiarmy !

A quick find on a beautiful day. A bit soggy underfoot.

I visited your cache as part of a week-long self indulgent Geocaching trip from Nelson to Bluff and back again. I apologise for not leaving a completely personalised log, but I do want to thank you for the time, money and effort you put into placing your caches. Without people like you who place caches, there would be nothing for the rest of us to come and find. You are fantastic

This cache was found as part of the New Zealand MEGA 2012 Event trip.

I had kept my shoes dry all say only to come to grief here. Quick find. TFTC
