By kryshan on 06-Nov-09. Waypoint GC20PZ8

Archiving this as its gone missing a few too many times unfortunatly

Visited here with Mum and dad. Cache missing but logged with permission.

Now 7 DNF's, needs attention. Ta

Sorry guys, will try and get out there soon and replace

Had a good look around, couldn't fund it.
I see there are now 5 DNF's now, might need some attention!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the graphics.

Nope. Not today.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

DNF too may webs!

No luck today

Had a good look and did not find. May pay to check

Had a good hunt but we couldn't find it. Love the shelter, it's awesome.

Yay first one found

Cute; the last place I looked, of course!

Haha, what a laugh. Brilliant bus stop, I love it. Fast found. TFTC

What a great place to have a cache. After arriving from along the coast road and seeing the surfies in action and the sea crashing across the road, what a surprise awaited me. There they were, The Simpsons family ! I excused myself and made a quick search with some success. Well done kryshan and thanks for bringing me back to Colac Bay.

TFTC, dad hit his head a few times looking for this one.

Was a bit concerned that muggles in the nearby house was watching us but they must be used to see people stop and admire this bus shelter because they didn't take any notice of us. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

A small cache that didn't take long to track down. Found with debsnz

The bus shelter is pretty cool! Found it quickly
TFTC

That is a very cool bus shelter! Found it quickly. Thanks for the cache!

Pretty neat sight! [8]

Had to detour to see what everyone was talking about! Fun! The terrain is a bit low for me though - had to stand on the seat.

Was wwoofing at the Pavillion. Great place for surfing and enjoyable easy going living. TFTC

Found 4:08pm , find # 1987
Currently travelling through the South Island of New Zealand.
Today we drove from Catlins to Te Anau via Invercargill, and found some nice caches along the way
This was find number 9 for the day.
Amazing murals on these bus shelters.
Cache found, and in good condition

Thanks kryshan.

11:45 - Nice place TFTC

00:00 tftc

Thanks for the cache, which I found during my journey through amazing NZL. Kind regards.

And to think that we had to wait in such a boring shelter. Had to have a mothers look to find cache as well.....men!!!!

Quick easy found on our way to Te Anau TFTC

We came by car and not by bus
this was much easier for us.
But at this bus stop did we stay,
that was a highlight on our way!

Our # 69 in NZ.

Love the name! Didn't get it until we saw it!
Thanks

Great day for geocaching, we had an awesome day did 27 all up, our best day ever. TFTC.

Replaced logbook, all good

Loved it! What a great place for a nano, after we'd cruised around Colac Bay, enjoying the views, the sun and the surf. The water was just a jewel this afternoon. As was the cache hide, brilliant. Snaffled the cache after a quick search, and were very happy to sign the log. Although, only a couple of spots for keen cachers are left! Thanks for another great cache, kryshan.... this one was very fun, and made us grin. Cheers for that. Merry Christmas!

The wind in this region seems to come always from the same direction. Only through the cache I recignized thid funny little hut as bus shelter.
Thanks Kongo1506

3rd find for the day, thought a day out of town would be great, lovely blue skies, but terrible wind!! Love this bus shelter, such a colac bay icon! TFTC!

First we admired the bus shelter while driving by and on our way back we recognized that this shelter has its own cache . Certainly we searched for it and after a little while we found this little one at 1.15 p.m.
Thanks for the hide.

ZH & Blondie invade NZ 2012!

Our 110th find in NZ, 8th of Day 8

Nice little town, good coffee. Liked the feature!!

TFTC

Nothing but excellent..spent an age spotting characters, well done to the artists.

Good stuff, gets a fave.

What a hoot! We had been noticing the decorated bus shelters around here but this one really gave us a laugh. Favourite point, thanks kyrshan!

5671 + 591 = 6262. Day 6 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 Invercargill to Te Anau - a stunning drive firstly along the coast and then up through some beautiful country until we arrived at the gateway to Milford Sound. After leaving Riverton we drove down here and were in awe of the views and scenes - and Yes this bus shelter was amazing !

Thanks again kryshan !

TNLN – TFTC !!

Cheers..

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.

Definitely a hit with the team - much time spent wandering around and photographing. This goes onto my Fave points list - well done and thanks for getting us here kryshan.

Today we were off to Te Anau, after having a lunch stop at Riverton, we continued our way along the road. This was a quick stop and grab before moving onto the next. Enjoyed all the caches we grabbed as we checked out the scenery and the views.

The cache was found after a quick search, no problems with it.

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.

First Week in New Zealand. Starting from MEGA going southbound the scenic route to Queenstown. We like caching in the woods. First it looked like all day raining, but then we sometimes had good conditions. Thanks for the great adventure.

What a fun cache - laughed out loud when I pulled up as it wasn't what I was expecting at all. Come to think of it - I don't know what I was expecting! TFTC #4078

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. Took a couple of moments to locate. TFTC

Cool bus shelter! Found with Emvy_us on our southern tiki tour while attending the Dunedin Mega. TFTC

Absolutely loved this bus shelter. Done incredibly well. Always wonder why bus shelters face the wrong way on the South Island. T4TC. Did with Mycro Man on our NZ MEGA 2012 South Island Trip

Did with CrystalFairy

Found on our way to the NZ Mega Event. At home, Mrs BG calls these "bus stop caching", and that it is. She gave this one the thumbs UP though.
Cheers from Browngang

quick find. pretty cool watching the cool lambs from the cool spot. cool! We're on our way to NZ MEGA 2012 in Dunedin. See you there!

TFTC!

TFTC found after dropping eldest daughter to Orepuki for a holiday with amatheson and matheson.clan

Checked cache, all fine

Looked but couldn't find; I had also looked on a previous visit in 12/2011 - must have blinkers on.
I love the artwork and others in the area.

like the artwork

Came back for a second time as was missing last time. TFTC

TFTC. Awesome quotes in bus station.

Damn we couldn't find it.

TFTC, a quick find. Not too many places where this one could be hidden

Great bus shelter

Took a while to find this wee sucker. It's about as small as you could get! Great bus stop. TFTC

Kids loved the bus stop

Our first nano, it was hard, thanks

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

Funny place!

Thanks for setting this up.

Our third day of Guzzi Ride to the Riviera of the south. A tricky wee find by Mrs Guzzi.

Junior PBH spotted this one. SL TNLN TFTC

hi, this cache needs to be replaced. if you like I can replace it for ya as it is very close to home just give me the heads up.

Replaced the cache today with a new container, thanks for the offer right fred left.

Nope, like last log, no sign of cache.

Amazing location, but couldn't find a cache.

No luck finding this one although the clue and coodinates fitted. I hope it has not been muggled. Will keep a watch to see if I was off course.

Put in a new log on the way past this one

Found it this time! Cheers!

LOve this one what an awesome bus stop.

very colourfull area

Log is going mouldy due to dampness. May need a plastic bag to put log in???

Loved this stop. Not quite where we expected it to be but looked a wee bit further afield. TFTC

Arrived at GZ and realised immediately what the cache name was all about, WOW , what a great spot for a cache, you just got to love the detail that has gone into this area. Found the cache without any issue and spent a bit more time admiring GZ and taking a few photos before heading on my way. Thanks for bringing to this great spot, TFTC TNLNSL (2988)

The bus stop really is a work of art. We're glad to have seen it. NINO TFTC

What a great shelter. Well worth a stop & a picture or two.

What a great bus shelter, pity it has to face the wrong way. TFTC

we searched near every post but did not find the micro

This is great. Quick find when it was just starting to get dark

Nice bright bus stop! Took us a little bit longer than expected to find this one. TFTC.

TFTC

What a wonderful place!!!!! I love it!!

Yay we found it after 4 searches

first find i'd love to catch my bus at that bus stop

We found also the note, but not the cache...

Cache logged using GeoScout http://www.navstation.co.uk/geoscout
