Circled a few times before taking a step back, then it was very clear where the cache was hiding, tftc

As long as I was here, I grabbed this cache, too. I didn't even need to use my GPSr or phone since the map got me so close. TFTC.

bunadoorian and I were out stretching our legs and decided to come and find this cache. I found it as per the hint in good condition. TFTC and for bringing us here - a very well cared for cemetery - farmer2some.

Found as described, after a stroll through the cemetery. Quite an extensive place. Thanks for the entertainment and TFTC.

Swapped the garbage pail kids card for toy car

Quick find today, TFTC

Day #9 of my Summer Holiday through the Catlins to Invercargill and over to Te Anau for New Years then back to Invercargill. Time to head home with a few stops and target caches along the way. This was one of them as last time I was down here there were muggles at GZ...all clear today and a nice quick find TFTC

Very well hidden

This is our second attempt we were blind the first time around. TFTC

A reasonable walk from the entrance to here. No trouble in locating it. Thanks farmer2some for placing.

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are on the road to Southland to finish off the Southern PW GeoTour. Today we cruised around Invercargill. The place has changed a bit since we used to live there in the 80's, but then again it is still recognisable.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Visiting Invercargill for a few days as my sone has moved here to do an apprenticeship. While he’s at work had lots of time to explore the town and collect some caches. This place was dead quiet with not a soul about. No problems finding the cache which was all fine. Thanks for the smiley.

*Nice day going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*
We soon had the container located. SL: **tm/ww NZ**
Thanks for putting this out for us to visit!

*Another good find.*

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

In Invercargill for a few days and getting out to find a few of the local caches and om my way out of town to visit a friend from many years ago. stopped to locate a few more caches so i past this cache on my way . I drove into the cemetery and made my way to G Z and then it was soon in hand . Thank you for this cache .

Found it

In the area so made the quick grab. Thanks for the cache.

Given a friend had previously found this one I had to give it a good try. Took several circuits to spot. Glad I could reach it (didn't fancy climbing)! TFTC

Found this cache while waiting for help to find ...
Having a short trip from Invercargill to Christchurch with Infoferret finding lots of caches, in particular the TMGT caches for me.
The cache may be signed with our individual names or ‘IE’.
Many TFTC.

Kia ora for the cache.

was a bit concerned when getting to cache site as trees had all had a recent trim back and brances removed well bove what hint suggested but cache was all safe and sound in its hiding place.
TFTC

Yea. Finally found one with my grandson. He had the good eyes

This one took some time to track down . Cheers.

Tuesday 27 October. Checking out Invercargill again today. Lets go Toby!

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.

Found on a sunny day out with the family, TFTC

Quick find but slightly tricky to retrieve, this is my 100th find! Tftc

(# 6115). 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. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC

Back in town after a great trip around the countryside on a sunny day. It's still light so decided to have a third go at this one. Determined it wasn't going to beat me! I knew what cache I was looking for as saw the pic in a previous log. Looked around, out and in, from all different angles. Finally spotted it yay! Weaving through the foliage grabbed it and a very happy signing of log at last tftc

Spotted quickly took while to reach as my arms were a bit too short.

Decided that with overseas trips on hold to spread out my annual leave and take a long weekend away from Dunedin. It was a chance to head to down and see some caching friends and go out caching in an area which is very green on the app map.
As it was a second lovely day with a warm wind and a duck race to attend, I spent the morning going around Queens Gardens and surrounding area for the adventure labs and some of the multis.
Thanks to all of the COs, I smashed out the last 100 points (and more) for the memory lane souvenir collection.

Found after a bit of scrambling through branches. Tftc.

We were about to give up when JE spotted it. The blue could be seen from a different angle. It took a while to find. Jude-E and I are on a geocaching trip to the deep south. Instead of driving down from Christchurch we decided to get a cheap flight down. Thanks farmer2some for placing this geocache 8004 find for me.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

Day 2 of a 3 day caching venture with Nosynel. Perseverance and looking at the logs helped enormously with this one. Thanks for the hide.
