Searched & searched for this but to no avail. As other have not found this perhaps this pne needs to be Checked.
The previous geocache warrior also had a very good search, but no “Didn’t find it” log at this stage.
The searching signs were still evident.
I had no joy myself.

Quite a large park with a big tunnel house next door but plenty of cover.TFTC
An interesting park that goes back much further than first thought. Cache found intact and in good condition.

Headed out with Sharkiefan for an epic 2 days of super crazy caching in Oamaru! Needed to get a caching fix since within Chch I'm only going for one a day to be able to continue my streak as long as possible! We found a total of 78 caches! Hehe
The second one of our trip. As we rocked up there were a couple girls on the playground, but once they saw us coming in, they left... felt a bit bad that we scared them off!!
Cache was a good stroll, and a good chance to stretch the legs properly! Found it pretty sweet as.
ANd of course, couldn't leave without sliding down the slide first!!
TFTC!!

Quick jog to GZ, cache found quickly, as was left rather exposed, covered it a little better. Not sure we will make CHCH tonight if we keep stopping for caches along the way!! TFTC

Found while out playing Hide n seek with Gran and Pop, of course they had their dog Danni helping! Thanks for the cache.
Time for another trip to the South Island, this trip that has being planned a while back as I needed to get down South for a family reunion and also catch up with Mrs Yeetrees who has being down in the South Island for nearly 6 months now spending some valuable time with her Mum.
After finding GC3XWGQ - The Dip (South Canterbury), it was time to hop back into the RAV4 and continue on my travel testing the vehicle to its max. Yah more country roads, more dust, dirt and mud to make sure that the vehicle gets dirty.
Making my way out of Temuka and it was time to start making my way South again, this was the next cache that I had on my list that I wanted to find today. I decided that I would get off SH1 and managed to find a safe parking spot Acacia Drive, and once I got out of the car it was just a matter of making my way to GZ. The walk to GZ was very pleasant and while I was making my way towards GZ, I decided to read the hint and once at GZ it took a few seconds to find the hint item and what I was looking for and I soon spotted something and soon realised that it was the cache.
Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced it back as found. Thanks Bitsprayer for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (5443). Managed to get in and out without any issues.
Now where too next, oh yes I am making my way to Waimate but just taking a short detour here and there.....

Our 6224th overall find.
Found on the "Gangsters" NZ Mega 2012 trip with steeba, The Rats and Farmer Frentzen. A bit of a wander in off the road to this one for a simple find.
Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache. Stats for our trip can be found here http://www.campersdownunder.com.au/geocaching/NZTrip/stats2.html

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

Reperio at 1715.
Stopped by here with Roostaman on our journey from Christchurch to Timaru today, and we had just finished signing the log book when we heard a couple of voices from behind the trees...and sure enough...it was another caching team from the land of Oz in Southern Cross Caching. After a quick chat...we headed off to the next just up the road.
Gratias Bitsprayer.

Find # 4316 and a total of 84 today with Marcus Vitruvius.on the 2nd day of our NZ Mega trip,

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. TFTC
Found with Emvy_us while making tracks for Oamaru on our way eventually to the Dunedin Mega. TFTC
Day two of Sully1's and my New Zealand trip from Christchurch to Dunedin.
Today was only as far as Oamaru, and the weather, once it warmed up, was superb.
A couple of heavy showers throughout the day made it feel like home in Victoria.
Thanks again Bitsprayer, nice to stretch the legs

Found with bogonghazy on day 2 of our short assault of the SI, whilst here for NZ Mega. We cached from Christchurch to Oamaru today, and only a few short showers throughout the day, which didn't deter us from continuing on with a numbers run. Thanks to the CO for placing this cache and for bringing us here.
NZ12. This is an interesting take on a local park. Very nice in the drizzle and no problems with the cache. Thanks.

First stop on caching trip to the MEGA in Dunedin. Have passed here many times so thanks for giving me a reason to stop. TFTC
Last time here the cache was diguised as a dead hare and so we didn't find it. A year later I thought it would be safe to take another look. Nice easy find this time. TFTC.

did a night hunt, made searching easy and cache soon in hand. took tb which wants to go to germany. i'm going to wellington on friday so will find a cache to drop it off there, more chance to get picked up by a tourist and head over seas. tftc.
Found it at 3:51 PM, Pretty much out in the open. We rehid as best we could
TFTC, Bitsprayer!

Nice park, kept the kids entertained while we hunted for the cache. Took jaybees sheep T/B. TFTC.
Cache sitting on the ground completely exposed. Tried to hide under the dead grass. Watch the slide for slight toddlers, they land fast and heavily off the bottom! Saw no rabbits. Dropped off jaybees sheep tb, and picked up another. SL TFTC
We found the dead rabbit or hare (as it looked pretty big) even though there wasn't much left. But we didn't find the cache, maybe it's under what's left.
Managed to find and sign ok. Maybe not one for the squeamish at the moment with a dead rabbit corpse close to GZ. I dare say the birds will soon deal to it. SL TFTC
TFTC. This is the kind of park I would have loved to know about when I was travelling with little kids. Great spot.
Swapped lizard for gingerbread man who ended up having quite an adventure with us!
Plenty of privacy with this one! TFTC

Nice easy find, found while caching with my niece, +Free's SnowWolf GC, -daisy pendant +gingerbread man, SL TFTC
Well this was embarrassing, didn't have the cache marked on the etrex so had to use the nuvi, it did OK to my suprise. Looks like we've entered Bitsprayer country. TFTC took TB
Thanks, again, Bitsprayer - on my way home after improving the economy of Timaru! I've never left the main road at this spot, before. Left GC. TFTC.
nice quick and easy find, have driven past here a million times but never visited!
13/30. Took an unnecessarily difficult route through the scratchy trees but found it in the end. TFTC
Looks like an old BMX track at the end. Nice little park for the locals. TNLN Thanks
Nice park, been past here 100's of times and never knew it existed. Surprisingly large park.
Found this cache a couple of weeks ago with gpsmith so thought I would go back and put my own name in the log. Thanks for the cache.
1715hrs Neat little park. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
Enjoyed the short walk in the sun from SH1 to the cache. Easy find once we got to GZ, cheers.
3532. We always thought there should be a cache on Acacia Drive! We were excited to see this one come up. This is a lovely little park area that is quite hidden away from the highway.
Thanks

It was good to have the wander and a positive result after the last effort. This area was very busy last time I looked at searching for this but far too early for little ones this morning.
Thanks
