Lakeside Rest (Central Otago) Kingston, South Island, New Zealand
By Ashsal on 31-Oct-09. Waypoint GC20N3R

During the trip Te Anau Queenstown several beautiful spots and caches. Thx

Day eighteen of our epic New Zealand Adventure with The Morris.Traveling from Te Anau to Queenstown, with just a few caches done.Cloud over the mountains, but no rain today.A lot of campers setting up even though it is still early.A quick find and we were on our way.Thanks, Robmc.

Day 18 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc and today we left Te Anau and travelled to Queenstown caching along the way. Not before collecting some delicious muffins at the Merchant Store.The weather is looking very promising and the scenery was pretty good too.Thanks for contributing to our amazing holiday Ashsal

Got it - overnighted in camper - wonderful campsite

The hottest day yet. Some went for a swimming amd the washing dried in record time.

We are visiting New Zealand for 2 weeks on a family holiday from Brisbane. Today we drove from Queenstown to Te Anau and I was allowed a couple of geocaching stops on the way to Kingston. I chose to stop here and the whole family got out to check out the view of the lake. But the wind was blowing so hard that they soon got back in the car. GeoM and I went to look for the cache and I quickly found it. GeoM was a bit disappointed that I found it before he did so I promised to let him find the next one. Thanks for the cache Ashsal!

Good one it was quite hard to get out from being tight

Auf unserer 3 wchigen Tour durch NZ, auf der Sdinsel gelandet. Hier auf dem Weg zu den Milford Spunds gencjtigt und die Aussicht genossen.

nice! TFTC

Fortunately our friends were camped in the spot so didnt have to be too subtle

A funny way to talk to people parked on this spot haha but good hide

Bien cach, petite bote mais si vous suivez le plan de geocaching a vous indique le mauvais arbre Bonne chasse

Quick found, TFTC

Found it easy and fast

trying to be subtle but youre never alone here, a helpful bus camper called out a hint for us before we even got a chance to look

#4347Holiday in NZToday driving to QueenstownVery nice place to visit.Beautiful lake, Thnx for showing

What a beautiful camping spot! Unbelievable!! Tftc. A favourite point for the location!!

Just getting around to logging the caches I found while visiting New Zealand from the U.S. with LaFavorite Cacher. We had a great time traveling around the country seeing the sights and picking up some caches along the way.Thank you for being a part of our adventures!Note: LaFavorite Cacher has sent in the answers for any earthcaches or virtuals required for both of us.

Today, GeoJayne and I left Manapouri to make our way to Lake Tekapo as we continue our time in lovely New Zealand from the U.S. The weather was much nicer today and the views all along the route were stunning. We found a variety of caches, had lunch in a fun spot, and had a grand day caching. If that sounds like a perfect day of caching, then we would have to agree!This was a quick find, just the way we like 'em! We found a newish log in this one and were happy to sign our names. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!

Day 10 of our roadtrip around the south island with Blue Jay. Today we drove from Te Anau to Queenstown in cold & windy weather but still managed to pick up several caches along the way. This was one of them.TFTC. Toffee Man.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 58 - Te Anau, Fiordland - Lake Hawea, Central Otago, South Island, Nov Zland (asi 250 km) M rozvaovn, zda a kam pojedu lod po jezee, ukonilo rno poas. Zcela edo, d a 9C ! Tolik je te pr u ns doma taky. Tak jsem to zabalila a vydala se na cestu do hor k dalm jezerm. Kolem poledne se natst trochu vyasilo a teplota stoupla na 11, ale a do veera byly pehky stdan ovem sluncem. Dokonila jsem cestu po Southern Scenic Route u msta Queenstown a pokraovala dl po Alpine Scenic Route, super silnic plnou zatek. Hory jsou vude kolem a vysok, nkde le na vrcholu i snh. A jezera jsou pln filmov. Zelen i modr, obrovsk a vlastn bez civilizace. Mstn obce jsou jen obydlen kiovatky na cest a v jedn takov byla keka v ikonickm hotelu Cardrone s hospodou. Hned bych tu zstala. Skvl atmosfra, vude hoely krby, lid se povalovali v sedakch a pili vno. Jen jdelnek m zase zklamal - burgry, tacos, fish and chips a podobn. Od takovho podniku bych tedy ekala fakt vc, teba ryby z tch jezer nebo zvinu z okolnch kopc nebo aspo peen jehn, kdy jsou tu ty ovce vude. To prost nechpu. Zajmav je, e na Zland pili osadnci z cel Evropy, ale sv kulinsk zvyky nechali doma. Odpoledne se u daly lovit i keky, tak jsem obas zastavila na vyhldce i u njak zajmavosti a v podveer dojela do Lake Hawea, co je nzev krsnho jezera a taky pr dom okolo. J mm velkou chatu v lesku u jezera, kterou na tu jednu noc ani moc nevyuiju. Dalo by se tu pr dn pobt. Vait se mi nechtlo, zajela jsem si k tm pr domm do nejlepho mstnho hotelu s jedinou restaurac. Vbr opt stejn, tak dolo na steak. Byl vborn, ale dala bych krlovstv za hovz vvar s nudlemi, flk toho vaenho hovzho z polvky s msou duenho pentu a hlavn s vaenmi bramborami ! Nebo za panlskho ptka s r i rotnky. Vaen brambory tu vbec nevedou, pouze hranolky nebo smaen brambory. Ani lososa, kterch jsou tu pln jezera, nemli. U mm toho jednotvrnho jdla dost. A to se snam si jdelnek oivit vlastn ppravou. Na vt vaen ale nemm as. Taky jsem se dnes nachladila a tak piju u 4. aj a vezmu si Modafen a pjdu si lehnout.It was raining until lunch and it was very cold, only 9C. Then the weather improved slightly and I was able to find some caches along the way. Today I continued along the Southern Scenic Route from Te Anau to Queenstown and then the Alpine Scenic Route to Lake Hawea. The roads were really scenic and I enjoyed the ride. Thanks everyone for the caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.

Great spot stopped for lunch in campervan. Nice hidey hole, the log was so bad Ive replaced it with a new log book in 2 bags so may last for a while.

Stopped here for a little rest driving from Te Anau to Arrowtown. QF but the log is soaking wet and Needs Maintenance. Photolog

Log is saturated. Needs replacing and made waterproof

On our way through New Zealand between Te Anau and Queeslnstown we looked for geocaches again. And luckily CO's had hidden nice caches for us here too. Thank you for maintaining our hobby and warm Dutch greetings from RoMo1742

Today steffixx and me spent another wonderful day here in NZ and we drove from Te Anau to Queenstown.We stopped here, took a little walk on the beach and after that spend some time searching for this cache.

So this will be a photolog only.Thanks a lot to Ashsal for leading us here and for showing this place and of course also for maintaining this geocache!Best wishes from the North Sea, Germany, from Cuxine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ________________oooooooo____________oooooooooooooo_________oooooooooooooooooo________oooooooooooooooooooo_______oooooooooooooooooooo____oooooo_______oooooooooooooooooooo___ooo__ooo_______oooooooooooooooooooo__oooo____oo________oooooooooooooooooooooooo_________oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo_oooo_______oooooooooooooooooo________ooooo___ooooooooooooooooooooooo_________oo_ooo____oooooooooooooooooooooooooo_____oooooooo__ooo_oooooo__________oo___oooo_______ooo__ooo_ooo______oooo__ooo_______oooo___ooo__ooo___ooooo___ooo_____ooo___ooo____oo____ooo____oooooo__ooo____ooooooo____________ooo_____ooooo____ooo

Thank you for the cache

Moving the Caravan from Cromwell to TeAnau on our 3 month tour of the South Island. Decided to check out this freedom camping spot on the way as it had some good reviews. Was relatively empty so managed to get a good elevated spot with just a healthy balance of sun and shade. Might just stay here for a day or 2.While hubby was sorting out the logistics I was looking for this cache. A good QEF - TFTC

Beautiful spot with lots of mugglers but they don’t give… TFTC

Difficult with muggles, but managed! TFTC

Found with Silvachief. Lots of muggles around currently.

Having now been here in NZ, staying with our son in Kingston, for 3 months, we felt it was time we got this cache. Only one week left of our time here, so we needed to clear this final ‘local’ cache up. The problem was how busy the rest area was every time we drove past it seemed muggles had camped virtually on top of GZ. Today we were determined, so with 4 of us in the car to add some distraction we went for it. No problems finding this one & the confusion of large motor homes vying for space to camp no one paid us any attention. So pleased to finally clear this one up. Thanks for placing.

Some fallen fruit

Stayed overnight at this lovely spot and found this cache.
TFTC and greetings from Germany.
