Will disable until they replant and may relocate, thanks for the heads up macrodiz!
Got caught by the grounds man with my head in the flaxes, and having just retrieved some of the cache excluding the lid and most of the contents I gave him the remains as I had no container to replace it with and he also advised that the flaxes are about to be pulled out and replaced with flowers.

By now the weather was closing in and squally rain showers were hitting. Luckily this was a quick find.

Finally logging this after getting back to Christchurch from Xmas drive South to visit family. Was initially looking at wrong flaxes due to not having GPS with me. Was also a chance to show my sister and brother-in-law what caching's about. Thanks.
We stopped off here on the way back to Dunedin. Plenty of motorbikes, and the associated increased police presence, going past heading home after the Burt Munro Challenge.
There were a couple of police cars parked just inside the gate while the officers check the speed of the passing cars and breath tested them. Suprisingly we aroused no suspicions.

A nice quick drive by, and back into the warmth of the car for the next one - this drive from Dunners to Q.town was taking a while with all of these stops along the way...
Found this neat cache on our Blitz of the South Island while here for the mega event.
Many thanks for the cool cache.

Nice little find in the little town, I couldn't believe how many milk tankers where driving past. Wow.. TFTC.
Some convenient conveniences close by were most welcome. Good views of the factory from here.
Many thanks
Many thanks
Found at 9:29:00 AM. In Dunedin for the Mega and seeing some of the sights in the surrounding area. An impressive factory.
Thanks kryshan
Thanks kryshan

A quick find on a beautiful day. Another one to add our Mega totals.

I visited your cache as part of a week-long self indulgent Geocaching trip from Nelson to Bluff and back again. I apologise for not leaving a completely personalised log, but I do want to thank you for the time, money and effort you put into placing your caches. Without people like you who place caches, there would be nothing for the rest of us to come and find. You are fantastic
This cache was found as part of the New Zealand MEGA 2012 Event trip.

In Dunedin from Whangarei with flowernz for the MEGA having a great time finding some of the south caches. Really enjoying the locations the caches are taking us to.On our way back to Dunedin after visiting Riverton. Certainly an impressive factory. found the spot and there was quite a gathering going on over the field, not sure what they thought of us huddling at the fence !! lol quick find and replace.
Nice quick find in another of mr flowernz's old haunts - he taught here too...
Down south with tikitour for the MEGA event + a few caches of course!! This was our 'trip to Riverton' day - mr flowernz taught there for a few years back in the 70s so he was taking us down memory lane with him...

Have watched the Edendale Dairy Factory grow from strength to strength over the last 46 years...every time we drove passed on our way from Invercargill to either Dunedin, Timaru or Christchurch. Over the last 30 of those years it's usually been from Christchurch to Invercargill & return. My how the factory has grown...always read any articles with interest. TN:LN:SL. TFTC. #19 of 21 today. #133 for us.We are out for the day with the Earthbound's whilst on our NZ Mega Trip. Cache was easily located, logbook signed and cache replaced. TFTC
Drove past here on our way to Gore and then why not stop for a cache? Why not! So we stepped out of the car without checking with the gps and searched the wrong area at first. Silly of us. Consulted the gps and made the find then quickly. Thanks for placing the cache kryshan. TNLNSL.
Having spent the night in Invercargill with the Walenators we visited the Indian and then decided to pick up a few caches on our way to Dunedin. Slightly damp afternoon so didn't admire the factory view for too long. TFTC
Surprisingly dry cache. Log was not in the bag provided, but returned as intended.
Quite impressive indeed. No problems finding the cache.
Found at 12:17 - #2874 - with Alexesmann

Not too many muggles about, sent the younger member to retreive as he isn't so out of place crawling through gardens. SL TFTC.
TFTC. We have tried a few times to get this but there are usually lots of muggles about. Very quiet there today
We arrived in the middle of a local game of rugby, but parked the car right at GZ and Miss 10 hopped out and found the cache within seconds. The car proved to be perfect for hiding our actions. And yes it sure is a good factory view. TFTC
yep I did not find it, will look another time. Found lots of glass bottles.
Just wanted to grab a few easy one on our way from Invers to Dunedin. This was one of the few that we did actually find!! Well placed toilet stop too thanks. 
Found this by proxy. I got the job of taking the motorhome to the dump station while Crusaderwoman got down and dirty on the GC. TFTC
I only allowed myself a very short time to find this cache as there were workers not far way. Luckily, I was able to lay my hands on it pretty much immediately.
Back again Picked up the Oreo and will find somewhere else to place it.
Was a little damp in the container - perhaps some silica would help?

Found, left Travel Bug for Oreo, a male animal killed for his gender. My heart goes out to you Oreo, who I only met as you were on a trailer to be killed, you and all the others hurt and killed to take milk from your mothers.
Quick find with the hint. Good view of the factory today; it's certainly large. TFTC.
Caching our way South after a couple of days business in Dunners. Nice quick easy find. NINO SL TFTC.
Beautiful day. First of a few cache finds after tea before bed for the kids. First find for Little Miss. No pen in cache. You'll need your own.

What a great day to be out caching, arrived near GZ and realised where the cache was, so we followed a local into the nearby sports ground. Arrived and parked within metres of GZ and used the vehicle as cover while I went out in the pouring rain to retrieve the cache. Found quickly in the worst spot after stepping into a puddle of water, but managed to still stay dry. Returned cache safely back into its hiding spot and we were on our way again. Thanks for bringing us to this spot to get a great view of the factory, BUT didn't see much due to the weather, TFTC TNLNSL (2998)
No problem with this one except for the scary forklift that jumped out from behind the corner while we were searching. NINO TFTC
Our first find The kids were really excited to find some 'treasure' and leave a trinket.

Quick look at the factory by some North Island dairy farmers. Left a pet rock - a calf. TFTC
Live in Edendale and didn't even know this Geocache existed, very sad isn't it.
A quick find while passing through the area this morning. Great view of the factory indeed, it's quite a decent size! Signed log, TFTC.
A very easy find and yes an good view of the factory. On our round trip to Invercargill and back on this rainy day with the country in flood. Cache all dry though.
