Found it! A quick find once at GZ after returning from a walk along the beach to look at the boulders! I picked up a collection of plastic along the way. Maybe people could pick up rubbish instead of shells and stones as souvenirs! TFTC SL Cheers from Pippin and the Traveling Muggles from Melbourne! Smile

#990 - First we was wrong - by the cafe. We tourned around and came here. We looked for the cache and it was an easy found. A short log and then we went to the beach and the boulder - we spended here a great time - it was great to see the boulders by high tide! TFTC.
 
25-Jan-14
Now, we left Dunedn and continue our trip to Alexandra, but on the way, we couldn't miss these boulders, even if we have to drive a bit more. This is definitely a must-see !
Fun fact, when we stopped the car and launched the app, the compass was showing "2 m". This is the geocaching instinct.

Maintenant, nous avons quitté Dunedin et nous sommes en route pour alexandra, mais sur le chein, nous faisons un détour pour voir ces rochers. Incroyable, à voir absolument. Petite anecdote : Quand nous nous sommes garés et avons lancé le GPS, il nous a indiqué "2m" de distance jusqu'à la cache... Instinct, quand tu nous tiens.

Continuing our great kiwi adventure honeymoon all the way from England! Today we had to drive from Dunedin to Christchurch, and this was a good lunch stop along the way. The boulders were fascinating, so bizarre! Picked up TBs and will take them back to England. TFTC Smile

We found when we went to the Boulders. Very special.
 
03-Jan-14
I thought I'd logged this one at the time - oh well, one of the vagaries of mobile phone caching I guess! Once I'd narrowed it down to a couple of contenders, the find was relatively easy, in between muggles. Good to see Pigs'o' fury got there before us - happy holidays folks & TFTC.
 
31-Dec-13
An easy cache because some fellow geocachers already had the logbook out when I arrived. The kids enjoyed some paddling and playing in the waves before we headed on to Oamaru.
Thanks.
 
30-Dec-13
Waited for muggles to leave just to be busted by fellow cachers Smile
 
29-Dec-13
We had to wait until some tourists left their car to go to the beach, and since they were slow we decided that we'd also play tourists and pay a visit to the Moeaki Boulders... When we returned we could search more easily, only to find the cache a few moments later.

Since this seems to be a quite visited spot with lots of logs on the book, we decided to leave our friend the Happiness Tiki TB here. He looked happy near the Pacific Ocean, see the picture!
 
28-Dec-13
During our roundtrip Through New Zealand, we stopped at the Moeraki Boulders to take some pictures of the boulders in the sea. It was high tide, so we had to watch the water very carefully not to be splashed. Quick find!
Thanks for bringing us here.

NZ road trip with Schlitz13. On our tour we had the time to look for some caches. We found them, and some special places of interest or great views.

TFTC!

Today we had to arrive at Twizel, that's not that far, but we had be busy today. First we tried to find Shag point and missed to find the 'entrance', but we found our way to the Moeraki Boulders and saw yellow eyed pinguins at Oamaru. We continued with visiting the Waitaki river dam, Lake Benmore and the Avimore Lake. There was no time left for the Maori Rock Art and Elephant's End left.

As we've not found an entrance to the beach itself, we didn't miss to sign the logbook.

Quick stop while traveling south!

Unfortunately the tide was up and covering most of the boulders when we got there but that didn't stop us from getting a couple of caches. We were heading down to Dunedin for the weekend. We pulled into the parking lot and there were a couple of muggles sitting in their car. With a nice little parking job my hunt was concealed and we were able to get the cache. TFTC!

Got it this time! The Asian couple who were there when we arrived were still there when we got back, bother. Headed over towards GZ anyway, and started picking up rubbish. Apparently they stopped watching as soon as they saw that- another benefit of CITO.

Found during fozzmiester's South Island adventure. Great fun was had with clever hides and stunning locations encountered along the way. Many thanks to the owners of all the caches found and the enjoyment which you provided.

The carpark was deserted so we took the opportunity for the quick find before heading off to the boulders.

Could see the cache but far too many muggles around today (it's the Easter break and sunny so everyone and his dog was there) so thought it best not to pull it out and sign the book.
 
30-Mar-13
A busy day with many people around but no one noticed as we quickly reached for it.

Parked the rental van just right by chance, so juggles were not a concern. TFTC!
