Out and about enjoying the history of our country and discovering hidden gems.
Today I had a spare moment after dropping my granddaughter back to Roxburgh so thought I would give this one a lookie. Walking through the dripping bushes but no actual rainfall... the rocks were a bit slippery but with the correct footwear not a problem... soon had the cache in hand, leaves in hair and muddy knees but a yellow smiley

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 5 of our extended Easter break in Central Otago. Today we are travelling south to Roxburgh, via Roxburgh village and Roxburgh East Rd, then back to Clyde again via SH8.
Didn't see the parking co-ords, but we managed to find a reasonably close by park, and soon found the nicely tucked away cache. Don't think I've been to Roxburgh Village before. TFTC.

08-Jan-19
We are on our summer holiday driving around the South Island with no real idea of where we will end up each day. We are often drawn to an area that has the potential to give us a few geocaching smilies and somewhere we have not spent time exploring before. In some cases we are revisiting placed that we have been before but liked so much we are going there again.
We decided we would head to Cromwell to see an old friend, so now that we have done that and the weather has improved we decided to come to have a look around this area.
The cache took a while to find as we ended up walking in circles, but we eventually got there, we signed the log and returned it as we found it.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

Started at one end and cache was found in the first place I searched. One yappy dog chained at the kennel made a fuss but didn't faze the black cat waiting patiently at one of the rabbit holes. Unfortunately for her, all the rabbits were in the playground. Box a wee bit wet and needed a wipe out. SL the dry log and rehid. Surprised this one doesn't get as much attention like the Winty cache. TFTC
 
09-Jun-17
Lucky. Thought I'd have a long look but I'd stopped in the right place and it was the rock at my feet.
 
28-Feb-17
Took a while to find this cache with Ducksarse Dave. Not an easy rock to spot.
 
28-Feb-17
Required perseverance to find this cache!
 
19-Jan-17
Yeah! So glad I found this one after a couple of dnfs started racking up. First I got scope, then some elevation and then declination by degrees. Nice hide with some alone time at the GZ to do the chores. All good. TFTC
 
02-Dec-16
I had quite a look around, but couldn't find anything. It looks like kids play here - may have been muggled?
 
28-Sep-16
Heading home after a lovely week in Clyde. Decided to go and explore Lake Roxburgh Village and get some caches along the way. Nice quick find. TFTC
 
12-Sep-16
Today's little travel around the area lead to this little village. It had a sort of 'sad, empty ' feeling to it..perhaps the day? The park has a barren feeling to it also. I walked up to the rocks and then had to locate the 'right' one which took me quite a bit of time as my GPS didn't want to settle. Finally i found it and could sign it and replace it and head back to the car. Thank you for the cache and another smiley face.
 
10-Feb-16
Maybe the effort of the hot bike ride up from Shingle Creek were starting to take effect. Be blowed if I could locate this cache. Oh well, that's me done for caching in Lake Roxburgh Village. Time now to climb back up the road and over the dam.
 
27-Jan-16
Nice wee walk to get this one today Nice easy to find. That's good as the last few I have tried to find were not so easy. TFTC ☺
