The Hidden Wall ( East Otago ) Shag Point, South Island, New Zealand
By Bitsprayer on 29-Nov-09. Waypoint GC21H9V

With Gap (of Fap and Gap) Were here for Geo Toroa (Dunedin Mega). Between flight cancellations and re-routing, things could only get better, right? But wait, theres more! Somewhere on our caching escapades, I dropped my wallet (Tuesday) Its still at large, so if anyone finds itOne of us usually drives, the other is the retriever. That works for us. Weve either logged caches with our separate handles, or weve used FANGS to sign the logbook. Using the latter handle is more for mental health and well being. Its tiring having to write 15 + characters on each logbook Weve joined MDF - Our BoP Teammates. Our goal is to put a few more smilies onto our geomap to the north of Dunedin. This was one of the caches we visited and found successfully. Thanks Bitsprayer. TFTC.

Down here for the Dunedin Geo Toroa Event from the sunny Bay of Plenty,Tauranga and are with some of Team BoP. Great to get together with our fellow cachers. Signed Logs MDF. (McJandals,Davidson clan & NZ Flossy)I am logging using the Cachly App and using their template option which helps with my memory for logging. I genuinely thank every CO for their time and effort put into these caches. Much appreciated.

Down in Dunedin for the Mega event. Travelling with Davidsonclan and McJandals. Really fun to be out and about with the team and catching up with other cachers friends from everywhere. Thanks to all the organisers and all the COs for some great caches. It is certainly a lovely area of New Zealand TFTC

Down in Dunedin for the Mega this weekend with McJandals and NZFLOSSY. Signed the log sheet MDF Thanks for the cache.

You wouldnt know that existed thanks for showing us

The amount of times I have driven past here never realizing there was a wall here

Wow... that is one historic log book dating back to my last visit years ago! And its in excellent condition to boot,must be testiment to the quality of the construction around it and its hobbit hole.. what a buzz to return at random and remember and read the last visit!

Replaced the fallen apart plastic bag around log..

TFTC - Love the wall never noticed it till now

A wee climb. Worth the effort.

A well- constructed wall - and an easy find, TFTC

Trouve ! / Found it ! 5101me cache trouve.Merci Bitsprayer pour la cache 5101th cache found.Thank you Bitsprayer for the cache

Just passing, a quick rest stop &cache, thanks

Wall and cache were found at a short stop. TftC.

Quick stop before heading to the Mountain. Thanks for the second cache of the day.

A few days away caching with Nosynel. Never noticed this wall before. Picked up the TB also. Tftc, Bitsprayer#9950

I wouldn't have had such an interesting trip without your geocache. Thanks so much for hiding and maintaining this cache. Our first stop since leaving the Dunedin area.

Thanks for highlighting this old railway feature. Certainly have never noticed it when driving past. Quickly found. Dropped TB.
Thanks for the cache, Bitsprayer

Lost my pen
Beautiful craftsmanship

Found with Nutty Nora. Cool spot

A combo of my favourite things - a little climb; pine forests and stonewalls - my family built dry stone walls! Lovely.

Found with Piwaka54 on our epic southern adventure. Now heading north

Cache 864

What a cool find this wall is. Would never have known this was here, had it not been for the cache. Not quite opposite the hint item, but fairly close - I was looking at the wrong part of the wall at first, and then thought the tree nearby was obscuring GZ, but then found a more open section and soon located the cache. A fav vote from me. TFTC.

Found it.

Staying at Shag Point. Quick find. With Kaz53

With Judith. Chilling at the beach the sun is out now. TFTC

Interesting place that you can’t see from the road. I parked at the nearby rest area and there is a big caravan parked up and it seems to have been there for ages. They have really made themselves at home here

A day with little traffic made it a pleasant stop. Nice and soft underfoot. An impressive wall that you can't see from the road as you rush by. All in good nick.

Nice cache first one for a while

Had a quick look and scramble up to gz and.. hay presto a cache located. Cheers ??

There is so much history hidden in the bush if you take the time to look, thanks for showing me the wall. Nice quick find thanks Bitsprayer

What a lovely wall. Shane to hide it behind a tree. Well found.

Day 18

Driving along from Dunedin, Lake Tekapo to Timaru for the day. Travelling on both islands for 22 days holidays. Very wet and raining all day. Found it. Thanks Bitsprayer for placing this cache

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia

Quick easy find. TFTC

All good...

We are on our way home from a lovely holiday down south. We could park motorhome so were able to do this cache. I love how our new hobbie takes us to new places and interesting things. Who would ever of known this nice wall was here. Found the cache and signed log. Thanks for the cache Bitsprayer.

This what is good about geo caching ..finding things that you would not usually find with out bringing in the know...thanks Bitsprayer for the cache nice old wall

Wow what an unusual place for a stone wall. I was so surprised when I climbed up here. Cache all ok thanks bitsprayer

found it on my way to DunEdin.
thanks, Malta-Dinger

Who would have thought a cool wall could be hidden in there. Tftc

Finally made it out here to grab the challenge caches. In the area with Minion 1 to visit Minion 2. Took a tour around the backroads to grab some others and we came across the Shetland pony club taking them out in pony drawn carts. A lovely day to be driving and caching.

On our trip thru NZ we visit a lot of places and see many spectacular locations.
This cache was one of our stopps thanks a lot to the owner.

Who would have guessed?! A secluded but very noisy spot

Who would have even realised this wall was there I certainly didn't. Nicely hidden from the traffic. TFTC

On a quest to complete the Hidden Creatures challenge so again off to Oamaru to find about 80 caches and this was one of them. I have driven past here a million times and you wouldn't know this wall was here. TFTC

Very adventurous this cache besides the highway! What a great spot! Tftc!

Auf dem Weg von Lake Tekapo nach Dunedin haben wir am Wegesrand die Dosen eingesammelt. Diese konnten wir gut finden. Danke fürs Legen,

We are on a road trip around the south of the South Island. Today we drove from Dunedin to Christchurch. There was heaps of traffic on the road past GZ. We scrambled up the slope with the aid of the overhanging tree and spotted the hide straight away. TFTC.

Sadly on our way back down to Dunedin after the Geo Fest Omaru 2017, and stopping in on some high favorite caches along the way with NZTravellers, KeyLev, and UncleSamNZ.

Signed in as SEAC17 to save log book space.

TFTC.

Greetings from an Auckland Cacher. Here with some of my crew for the “Almost Mega” event.

Day 4 of our trip. And heading back to the airport.

Sorry for the generic logs. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache.

All logs signed as “Team SEAC”

In the area for the geofest...after some FTF fun we decided to return to the original plan which was to head to Dunedin whilst stopping for some high favourited caches along the way...we were not disappointed!!

Didn't take too long to locate, sign and be on our way.

Thanks for the cache.

The last day of our geocaching adventure with team SEAC 17 in Oamaru for the Geofest. had a great time during the weekend and saw some great sights around Danseys Pass, through the lakes and the clay cliffs of Omarama and of course the funky Steam punk and historic buildings around Oamaru. Who knew this gem of an area was tucked away in the South Island!

On our way back to Dunedin to catch a flight home and decided to target highly favourite caches along the way - otherwise we would never get home! a much needed loo break here and a cache find and then on our way. would have lingered but the rain was pretty persistent! TFTC!

Awesome hide! Another cool sight you'd never see if it weren't for geocaching! TTFC

Day-10 Palmerston - Oamaru
A day on the coastal road finding caches as we went.
We found caches in some amazing places & wonderful scenery today.
Found this cache using the hint provided. We think it is more than a 1.5 T
Thanks for placing this cache Bitsprayer

We had lunch across the road, and then crossed over for this one; thanks for the cache, and we're still enjoying our day exploring this wonderful coastal area.

Amazing what you drive by regularly and have no idea what's hidden.

What a cool find.. how do u do it Mr Bit?..stop at random spots for smoko and take a wander with a cache? awesome fav from us:-)

What cool little wall. Thanks for bring me here.

Rather a surprise to find this nicely built stone structure here, I would never have known about it without the cache to take me to it! Spotted a likely hiding spot as I approached and yes, the cache was indeed there. Signed log, TFTC

Tftc !

It didn't take too long before I'd found it. TFTC

Begins our holiday in NZ in Christchurch, we came from Italy to find our son who lives there for two years.
Today we decided on a multi-day tour, after stopping at Omarama today continues to Dunedin, scenic road we will stop on the lakes that meet
Dunedin is back in Chch, stopping to pick up some cache
Greetings from Italy
Eccoci finalmente in niuziland e dai e dai ci siamo veramente, appena arrivati capiamo che sarà dura, cena di qua invito di la, andiamo a vedere questo e quest'altro.
Prosegue il nostro tour di più giorni, dopo aver fatto tappa a Omarama e aver visto il Lago Tekapo, lago Pukaki, scesi a Dunedin, città molto amata dai geocacher per le sue storiche cache, oggi si torna alla base, chiudendo il cerchio, passeremo da Oumoru, cittadina famosa per una colonia di piccoli pinguini che si sono stabiliti sul molo, per la strada ci sono cartelli che indicano agli automobilisti a stare attenti, noi li vedremo da lontano.
per strada raccoglieremo alcune cache

Late Log - TFTC

out and about to catch a few caches. Making the most of a rare sunny spring day. Thanks to everyone for your caches.

There is no way this is a T1.5 it's a steep climb with slippery pine needles.

Fun find. What an interesting spot! Thanks for leading us there.

Nice quick P&G on the way to Christchurch. Found a spot to safely pull over and off for a wee scramble into the trees and up the bank. Never knew this wall was here...how cool! TFTC

Found it TFTC

Had to get a young cressy75 to grab this tftc

Took the young son to help get this one had it not been for caching we would never have known about this wall tftc!

On a trip south to head to the Higlanders Game on Saturday and collect some caches on the way. Nice location that reminds you of why I cache (to take me places I probably normally wouldn't). Thanks for the cache.

heading back down to Dunedin to catch up with KJR seems like only yesterday I was there ( oh it was ) work was cancelled for the week so good opportunity to grab a few more southern caches . was meeting up with K so had a little time to grab a couple on my way down

thought the phone must have been wrong when it pointed to gz but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered the hidden wall cache was a quick find

On a geocaching weekend with my sister NZ Bozzy.
TFTC
Enjoying finding this wall

#11 on our geocatching weekeng

A plan was hatched for a geocaching trip with eve07 and challispoint and young eve07. This was one of many found. Gave this one a favorite as would not have known about this wall with caching.

Never knew this wall was here. TFTC

Found with eve07 and P&vee, TFTC

That was fun. Thanks for placing the cache.

Tftc. The wall is very hidden

Took a bit a bit climbing but easy enough once we got there. It was our last cache for the day and the last of our 6 day trip, sightseeing and caching around the West Coast.
TFTC

On the way to Dunedin we made as short break and had a look for mussel shells, after we found some nice pieces at this nice beach, i went up the hill and found first the well hidden wall and after that also the cache.

Thanks for the hide and the maintain.

Greetings from the Steipilzbrätler from Switzerland

What a lovely surprise to find this wall and cache. Tftc

After noisy night on near-highway quarter looked for this nearby place and finally found.
No rocket science since a toi-toi is in line ;-}

Great spot for hide tyftc

After parking up at the Waikouaiti Golf Club yesterday it was time to go exploring the countryside a tad north of here. If it wasn't for a cache I wouldn't have known this was here.

Cheers for the cache.

Interesting Spot!

Wasn't an easy climb with flipflops on. But I managed and quickly discovered the hidden treasure!

On holiday from England and exploring New Zealand in a campervan for 30 days to celebrate our 60th birthdays. Traveling along this lovely road and turned off to look at the beach then realized that there was a cache nearby. Started the search, no luck so checked the hint, and not being local we didn't know what it was opposite. Made a wrong guess and still no luck. Then brainwave, used Google and thought "never knew they were called that" and soon had the cache. TFTC

Bitsprayer, you should set up a camera. I certainly would have been amusing to watch clambering up the bank with phone in one hand and dog's lead and accompanying dog in the other, whilst trying not to let go of either!
I wonder how you knew there was such a fine wall here?
Many thanks a great rest for my crew, kids playing on the beach whilst I wandered off.

Mega trip to NZ with vipema, Veke68 and Katsukka, logged as TVVKFIN. We stopped here on our way back to CHCH from Mount Cargil. Yes, it was well hidden. Thanks for the cache.

Long time dream came true and we could visit New Zealand. NZ Mega was our maingoal and we had time to find others too. We travelled together with Veke68, Katsukka and tanjuli (+husband) and had great time. We used TVVK Fin (that is tanjuli, vipema, Veke68 and Katsukka) in mostly logbooks to save space.

Thanks for the cache.

Greetings from Finland.

Day #6 geocaching in NZ in good company (=tanjuli + husband, vipema, Veke68 & Katsukka = TVVK-FIN in the logbooks, most of the time), today we headed to Dunedin and back to Christchurch again. Had a great time, enjoyed the mostly sunny day and found a lot of caches + saw so many interesting/beautiful places.

Thank you!!!!

Caching holiday in New Zealand with Tanjuli, Vipema and Katsukka continues and today nice trip from Christchurch to Dunedin and back. Lot of kilometers but many nice caches and of course couple of very old caches too.

We logged mostly only TVVK-FIN to save space in the logbook.

Thanks!!

Bit of a scramble up the hill. Then a bit of a search. Enjoyed this one being sheltered from the road and the wind. TFTC.

Who would have thought this was here? Just a bit of seeking and there it was. TFTC

Found with Busy paws after a little scramble and search, love discovering interesting little places like this. TFTC

Driven past here heaps of times. Finally got this one. Tftc

Awesome place and well worth crossing the road for. A favourite from us.
