As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

This is a rather late log but I was visiting this area and I had time to go and look for a couple of local caches. This wasn't where the hint suggested but had been moved to a secure place nearby. The only possible place near GZ Thank you for the cache and another smiley face.

What a fun find!
 
15-Aug-16
There was some schist, but no tussock. Maybe a mower has been through. The cache was found on the ground between the wall and a tree. The next mower would seen the end of it. Placed it back where we think was a good place, but may not be where it started. Might pay for the CO to check.

Thanks BirdFlu.

Sadly the weather was no good for skiing today so we decided to take a trip to Cromwell. We visited the car museum. It was too wet to go go carting. So off we went to a friend who lives in Alex. This one was on the way.

Instead of skiing we found some geocaches.

03-Jan-16
Found while waiting for repairs to the Cache-mobile (alternator reconditioning and new battery). Went for a 1.5km walk to get the cache then had to walk all the way back - how rude! Wink
The hint doesn't resemble the hide in any way now, and the log has been very wet at some point (barely able to write on it).
TFTC Cool

21-Oct-15
Some how managed to find it... bit of luck really... the clue wasn't helpful because there were no tussocks there... more just berried in the ground away from the wall. But FOUND IT Very Happy
 
19-Sep-15
An easy find once in correct location. Smile
 
19-Aug-15
Well have an opp on my shoulder about 4 weeks ago and still got about 4 weeks to go before I'm back at work so I thought I would come visit some friends in Cromwell for a few days so while on the way though I would grad a few. Well I would not say it was tucked behind any tussack but there ya go. The tussack must have been taken away as there was none anywhere. TFTC ☺
 
very exposed and log is acrumpled mess
 
I had been working near tarras all week and staying in omakau ,fortunately the weather wasn't playing ball today so we finished the week early perfect for me to get a few caches on my way home to Geraldine.

this was out in the open tried to hide as best as possible with limited resources tftc

With the family all asleep and me having my normal cant sleep at all night decided i would go get a midnight cache to secure my streak for another day. our motel was only 800m away so rugged up nice and warm and took off. one good thing about caching at this ridiculous hour is ya have no muggle problems which could of been really handy for this cache. took a little bit of looking around and spent a lot of time in wrong place. think this cache might be better moved the bush is not there anymore and it was buired under the ground. signed log and put back where i found cause couldn't find any suitable close hiding places. have included a pic to show CO what i mean about cache thanks for the find Smile
 
10-May-15
Cool
 
07-May-15
A bit of misdirection due to gps being still locked on road. Soon found not one but two containers at GZ? perhaps the CO has left a spare? or a cacher had bear googles on and left their lunch box?
 
04-May-15
Good cache Smile
 
02-May-15
cute little find, gardeners have been here and cut back tussock but it is still here
 
08-Apr-15
Quick find though there were two small containers tucked away together. Thanks for the cache.
