Homebush Woolshed (Canterbury) Homebush, South Island, New Zealand
By MollyChCh on 04-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2M0YD

Down from Whangarei in Christchurch for a few days visiting family and meeting our first grand daughter. Today was nicer weather forecasted, so getting out and about to knock off a few solved puzzles and challenges and other incidentals along the way.Stopped off for this one on the way and Murphy's Law, a muggle pulled up in their driveway close by, just as I was retrieving the cache. Don't think they noticed though and I waited till they had driven through the gate before replacing. TFTC

Out and about caching while travelling around South Island, from Australia. Found this cache and signed the log. TFTC

Today's trip takes us from Ashburton to Christchurch via Springfield! A variety of caches visited as well as ALs. Many thanks to the COs for placing these caches.

Merging my accounts. Found this as "Ambers007" on 26/10/2022. Now tracking together with "Hoterini" and merging the old finds.

TFTC. There is no need to in the trees. Found with andyfreya.

Always wondered what this building was. Thanks for the history

A quick find as we stopped to admire that grand woodshed TFTC MollyChCh

Found on this beautiful day Great hide Thank you for the cache

Didnt take long to find here. Tftc

Quick find right by where we parked. Interesting architecture.

I wasn't caching when I last stopped here with KR. Good to sign the log more than 10 years later! Thank you MollyChCh

Quick grab on our travels to Christchurch.

We were driving from Christchurch to Lake Tepako and stopped off here for a cache and dash. Thanks for placing.

Heading to Whitecliffs for work. A quick stop here and found the cache with no trouble at all. Container was waterlogged but zip log bag kept the log book pretty dry. I have tried my best to dry the container and other wee swags inside. TFTC.

Easy one

This was the last cache minute I needed for this challenge [172° East Longitude Minute Challenge](https://coord.info/GC52XZY)

So while going out to Methven today, I made sure we planned a stop here.
Cache quickly found and replaced, and the woolshed observed from distance.

Kia ora! Paldies!
Thanks for the cache, MollyChCh!

A quick park n grab while doing the PWGT multi.

Wow what an amazing woolshed. Thanks for the histry of this place. We have been collecting the info for the PWGT multi. Stopped here to get this one tagged. Cheers. Now back for the multin in Toby. Bummer hes got a flat battery!! That changes thisn a bit.Day 4 - Thursday 23 December - Ashburton to Amberly taking the inland route to Lake Coleridge. So lets go exploring. Bummer with Toby getting a flat battery today.The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby and I are of on another Geo adventure this time to Mt Cook for 5 days. Met up with Bullertrout and Bro on the way down. Lake Pukaki was fine but Mt Cook was wet and wild with the Hooker Valley being closed due to high winds, so did not stay long. We went exploring Tekapo, Timaru and a round trip to Lake Coleridge. Short trip and very tiring but awesome.

Part of a big trip with Taybeedragon to explore Mt Cook. We explored a little of it but there was gale winds, lots of cloud and rain. Some of the tracks had been closed and others were right dodgy given that we did not have our foul weather tramping kit. We had booked to stay for two nights but left the same day. More time to explore parts of Canterbury! So now I have been to Mt Cook . Still yet to see Aorangi.

Sunday caching adventure. Thanks for the hide.

Easy find! TFTC

Day 1 - Labour weekend extended road trip with Kiwicampnut - relocated to stay south of the ditch.
Stopped for the first stage of PWGT and had to get this traditional
Thanks for the cache MollyChCh

With some Westies finding a few caches along the way. Thanks for hide

Down from Auckland for another blitz upon the PWGT caches and other caches that appeal to us. On this trip there is FMZ, rustynz, Rebel98 and myself in Christchurch for 3 days of fun and another adventure.

Here mainly for the PWGT multi but interesting info on the page.

Quick find here while doing the PWGT multi nearby. Nice historic spot, cool building. TFTC!!!

Fun find with a group of Westies. Thanks for the hide, cache a little dusty on the outside, all good within

Off to terrace downs for a birthday celebration for a friend, this was a quick easy find whilst grabbing the details for the Geotour cache. I had been here earlier in the week for emergency works so when my waypoint moved so I missed this one. Thanks for the effort that goes into placing and maintaining a cache.

We arrived a day early for our daughters graduation tomorrow, so having picked up the rental car, we decided to try to grab the 5 new geo tour caches as far as Lake Coleridge today, and a number of other more traditional caches on the way back.
Since we were in the area getting the info for the geo tour cache we figured we should grab this one as well.
Thanks for putting this here and for showing us this historic spot.

6 April 2021 19:23 found while checking out the PWGT multi information. A neat little spot. TFTC

This one was in(on) the way of me getting the nearby PWGT cache and so had to just sign it off.

What a neat old woolshed.

Cheers for the cache.

Love the Brick work

Loved seeing the building

Tftc!

Super quick little find, co-ordinates were spot on.

Nice easy find thanks MollyChCh

TFTC. Quick find on my way home from walking the washpen falls

Great cache. Thanks!

Great looking building. Quickly found cache and completed the paperwork. Tftc

Have the week off and decided I would wait and see where there would be good weather and head off on a mini caching roadtrip... the FB post of a new Geotour coming out is very exciting and maybe that will help me decide where to go next.

Who knew if only I came through 24hrs later I would have seen the new multi published 35m from me come out.... oh well the luck of the draw. I am guilty of having a few caches in place people are likely driving past too right now without knowing.

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

[NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) is definitely happening, but has been postponed until 2021. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 22 to 25 October 2021. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20+ years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20+ years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* All the 20s and now 21 as well!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

What a woodshed!!!!

Needed one last treasure to complete the ancient and modern wonders, so headed out to grab a few caches. What a neat looking woolshed, cache found quickly thanks for the hide.

Staying for a few days at Whitecliffs and able to pick off a cache or two. Thanks, MollyChCh, for placing your cache. All good and safe.

Easy PNG for 5th of the day

Quick easy grab, on a van roadie to the west coast

Wow what an awesome Woolshed, can't imagine what the homestead would look like. This is worth coming to see. Thanks for putting a cache here MolliChCh.

Sadly this was our last day of a two week motorhome excursion, heading via the Coast to the lower South Island, then back up to Christchurch, picking up a few caches along the way – 9 today. Meandering from Geraldine to Christchurch today. Interesting building, and a quick find. Last one for the day and for the whole trip! #3431. TFTC.

Hello from Perth WA

We found this while on our South Island adventure.
We also introduced Olive8 to their first official find.

TFTC

found this with 2+4 on our family holiday. this is our first official geocache find. Thank you for the cache.

A planned geocaching trip with specific targets in mind.
1: The final 2 caches to fill my D/T grid
2: The last 5 caches available (all in the South Island) to meet the NZ Jasmer challenge GC4R9Z6
3: Get as many caches as possible in a day (Solo)
I had no timetable and only a vague route (Christchurch - Dunedin- Invercargill). So after 20 days of sleeping in my tent/car I arrived home having traveled 4500km and visited some interesting places. Met some great people. I had found over 650 caches. That was a lot of park. Jump out out. Find cache sign and return. Then on to the next. All this done by myself. Also attended an event and had 2 FTF
Mission 1 and 2 were achieved and I had a best day of 153 caches. All this done by myself.
Day 16 Glentunnel to Waikari 76 caches found. First cache for the day. Great building. Thank you for the placement.

Great woodshed!! They certainly were not suffering!! TFTC!!
