Didn't realise it had been disabled when we went to look for it but are fairly certain that GZ no longer exists in the same way from what we could (or couldn't) see. Thanks anyway, an interesting spot.

Put us down for a DNF on this one. Checked the GZ thoroughly but could not find the cache. Muggled perhaps?

Very quick find. Mrs GT got this one while the rest of the family stayed in the car and watched. TFTC
Quick find with 3 Friesen grandies and their parents after enjoying the nearby Firth Tower and museum village on a warm Monday afternoon! Lots of history in the area and also enjoyed the very fragrant roses and sweet peas in the village. T eraser, left swag plus a geocoin. TFTH, TFTC
Found while observing 2 gyrocopters flying above.
Definitely a historic spot here - none other than the Firth Tower!
Thanks

Another 'firth to find'. Yay!! Was staying just up the road at the hot springs, couldn't resist doing all the local caches. Took the GC will move it on north. TFTC
Didn't know this was here. Looks cool. Took travel slug that I'll log once the placer has placed in this cache online. Left geocoin. TFTC
6.00pm. Was concerned at the presence of muggles having tea on the lawn but was able to make the pick up hidden by the trees. Left a TB.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

First for the day, in the rain! museum not yet open, but the grounds look lovely.
Story of the last few days for us - yet another mower man! So another commando effort required to retrieve the cache, NINO TFTC
Too early for the museum to open, but had a look around the outside perimeter anyway.
Thanks for the cache.

I know Mr Belt does love the South Island but perhaps the State could please be changed to North Island? Cheers.
