Logs
Didn't find but managed to fall over a couple times. Cache person should go double check due to number of dnfs
Didn't find but managed to fall over almost twice (fell over once but the second didn't lucily)
No luck for us today. Had a good hunt round but just could not put our hands on it.
Stopped raining, so went back. This time, ignored hint (as per other's logs) and became an easy find. Woohoo!
Found this on a short walk - initally I was worried that the new construction works would have destroyed everything around, but no! The cache was still nestled in safely in it's spot. Lucky me. Thanks for the hide here
On my way thought to Wellington for the day thought to get some more caches to help with the 35 to get for the current mystery at the museum challenge. Easy find. Thanks for the cache
Hunted around the object, then widened out search and found in close proximity. Well done to skaga and her keen wits and eyes. TFTC
Managed to find the same head bump as the previous searcher. Eventually we decided the clue was misleading and widened our search, finding the cache about 3 meters from the hint object and safe from floods.
Was getting close to GZ and saw the tell-tale signs of a cache hide, and there it was. All good with the cache. TFTC
I know I've looked for this before but without success. It seems I didn't log a DNF for some reason.
Today, a quick find, somewhere I'm sure I looked at but which didn't trigger cacher's nose before.

I picked up a few of the other caches in Tunnel Gully before heading up Mt Climie. Took a while to grab this one as I was fooled by the hint, but then I saw the usual tell-tale sign and the cache revealed itself. TFTC

One last one before we head back to the car, tired and muddy after 2 hours mountain biking.
Must have dropped my pen between the last cache and here so photo of logbook attached

An extremely fast find due to classic cache cover location betrayal! Nothing wrong with that of course. TFTC.
Yeah the main hint is certainly a herring - a great big red one However found after some fruitless searching in the wrong locations Think 'flood level' is my suggestion Thanks for the interesting exercise anyway
My 8 year old is over the moon in finding this one. Bit of a search but got there eventually. Nice one.
was about to give up on this one then checked others logs. Easy find after ignoring hint object. TFTC
Took way longer than it should have! Cheers for the why didn't I look there moment
After climbing Mt. Climie I stopped on my way back at this lovely place for another Cache. But I had some difficulties with it because I searched at the places named by the hint. But after a while I increased the radius a Little bit and there it was.
Thanks a lot for the Cache.

Another find out with eidesor today climbing Mt Climie. Perfect day for it; TFTC!
Hi, TFTC! Got into caching whilst visiting friends in NZ, coming from Norway, and has been great so far
Down in Paraparaumu for 4 nights, caching as much as I can here and in Wellington. Will be caching and climbing Mnt Climie today, doing a power trail near Palmerston Nth and hopefully achieve my best ever day and month.
I was very disappointed coming here to this off road carpark by this white gate. I arrived at 7:12am but the flamin' gate doesn't open until 8am according to one tramper. Already several people have started this walk, far too late to be opening. Anyway, grizzling aside I have to start my walk from here which adds another 2km to the already long enough walk to the summit. The cache was the first of the day and nicely hidden - many more to come today.

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]
We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!
Greetings from Finland

Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.
On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.
Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!
Today we drove from Wellington to Masterton. We saw many nice places and caches. Thanks for the cache!
Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!
13th day on our geo-roadtrip in New Zealand, and caching our way towards north. Logged using our group nickname FIN with janahola, laalaa and kapeka. After having a blast in South Island and in Christchurch Mega event, we had to start heading back home. Fortunately we still had few days left to spend in NZ while driving to Auckland.
After the rapid ride down from Climie, I decided to take a quick look around for this drive-by since the area was almost deserted. Very happy to spot the neat little hide without the help of the GPSr since it stopped tracking distance or direction from 25m away where I stopped to park. TFTC.

Spotted this one quickly but muggled as I filled out the log by a dog-walker pulling up in his car. Discretely stowed the cache and covered as per found. TFTC!
Did this morning with The Wandering Dragons and Astro Hunter. Thank you!

Cache # 2,581 - Did this morning with Astro Hunter and Violet Butterfly while the weather was still fine. Fortunately the hint led us to the cache without much problem. TNLNSL. TFTC!
#767. Stopped on way out to collect this one. Should have read description and hint as I spent time checking under the bridge in a nicely preconceived hunt. Then I followed the GPS and soon saw a suspicuous looking pile and voila cache in hand. The quick park and grab that wasn't. TFTC
It didn't take too long to find this cache, although the hint seemed somewhat misleading. TFTC
A lovely park that I'd never before visited. The cache was a quick find ... the GPS had us all over the place but it didn't take us too long to locate the goods, thanks to the hint. Tftc! It was the fourth of five for the day, after which we went for tea at the nearby homestead. A great afternoon!
Heading up the hill and collected this one on the way through with tmann421 today.

Quick find after deciding that this wasn't the valley we wanted to visit today - will be back to explore more another time! Thanks
Happy to have an excuse to be back in Upper Hutt today. A nice day and an event cache at Kaitoke. Made our way to this one after making an appearance at the event.
Enjoyed the sounds of the babbling brook.
Once at GZ we made a relatively straightforward find and cache was in hand - although we couldn't reconcile clue with actual location, puzzled us. All in order, log signed, cache safely re-hidden.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

TFTC - The little prince used the GPS all by himself for this one and found it quite easily with no clues used.[^]
Easy find thanks. First of a few today
I note that the original container has now been replaced by a small pill bottle.
