Had a pretty good look but could see no sign of it. If the CO can let me know where it should be I'm happy to go back for another look (found the cache in 2011, and funnily enough I don't remember where it used to be hidden!).
DNF. I am new to this tho. I didn't find 3 today, so this could just be me.
Beware of the fog behind the fence (he can't do anything to you, he might just scare you)

CrackedChelle and I are over from South Australia touring Christchurch, West Coast and Nelson before staying with my sister and her family in Upper Hutt. I'm an ex-pat from Nelson and this is Chelle's first adventure to Aotearoa.
We flew back to Chch today so we could watch the mighty All Blacks play Springboks and then fly out tomorrow in the wee small hours.
Chelle made the find on this one.

Visiting New Zealand for the first time from Australia, with Apty who was born in Nelson.
Getting the last bit of sunshine I'll see in New Zealand until next time, out caching before the All Blacks game. Beat Apty to this one, only just.

Out and about while in Christchurch for a few days. Had been stymied at a few previous caches around the university with muggles and a watchful security guard, so it was good to finally have a cache in hand. A quick find. TFTC.
Fourth crack at this one, only to realise I was not within a bulls roar he first three times. Happy to have found this one
Finding the area was quite entertaining! had no idea this place existed. Cache was an easy find, a bit exposed, so tucked it up a bit more after signing. TFTC. 
60 days in a row- - yay!
60 days in a row- - yay!Spent 5 mins looking in the wrong place. Took me 5 seconds with fresh eyes. TFTC
Came early this morning. Found after quick search. Will need to return with pencil!
Very delighted that my home educated daughter has chosen to use geocaching as part of her outdoor education, today we set off to walk around an area and find them all:-) Thank you for this cache, we loved that it had a very friendly canine friend who kept us company throughout our hunt and find.

My first Kiwi cache!
This was the closest cache to our accomodation, so we were off to GZ. It was 8:30 in our normal Timezone, but 10:30 PM here, so we tried to use extra stealth.
This was the first of two quick caches.
We drove out of the hotel and after finding a good entry pint, we parked the car and headed out to Ground Zero. I like night caching, it makes it all the more exciting!
I trod on a stick and a bird called, but other than that, it was a clear shot in the dark. After a quick look, the cache was located. Once I figured out how to open it up, the log was signed and we were on our way.
Thanks for the cache!
Container and contests are in perfect condition. The coordinates were spot on.
Well done, and cheers for the New Zealand Souvenir.

Needed a cache for the First day of 2016 badge. "Six of one, half dozen of the other" sounded like a fifty-fifty proposition, but it was actually a quick find on a warm sunny day. Great start to the year. Cheers and thanks for the cache.
Not much going on on Christmas Day and plenty of time for Geocaching.. Merry Christmas and TFTC
An unexpected stay over in Christchurch for the night meant more caches.
A quick walk from my motel to this one.
An easy find even in the dark.

[green] My first day in Christchurch, having arrived last night. Normally I would head out each day and cache out a suburb, and so by the end of two weeks pretty much have cached out the city. But it is all a green field! I could not decide which way to go. So in the end I let the GPS decide. This is the first time I have cached in a city restricting myself to Garmin's Get Next Closest and seeing where it lead me. I started in the middle of town at the square and ended up at Riccarton Racecourse, with a trail of 50 little smileys behind me.
Yet another empty park. Come on guys! It's a gorgeous day out! At least the mugglelessness makes caching easy! Dropped in an emerald and picked up a TB to take to the mega.

Thanks a good find. GPS/HINT/CACHE all good.

found this morning after a small snow dump overnight. i got distracted by the dog but luckily he wasn't barking and instead just wanted a pat. found the cache and signed it while playing with the dog. thank you.
Quick and easy find in yet another little reserve we had never heard of. This is a good place to visit during school hours when muggles in the playground are less likely. TFTC
Good location! Nice day at the end of summer to get out for my first hunt in New Zealand.
After DNFing "A Matter of Perspective" this lunchtime, I decided to have a crack at this cache. I think I recall not finding it the last time I was here. The park was deserted, and I was conscious that other caches had been having issues with a barking dog nearby, but today, for me, the dog was not disturbed, and the cache was found after only a couple of minutes. Left trackable. Thanks for the cache.
Sure we have been here before but night time changes how things look. Last time I think we got scared away by a dog barking over the fence. Today no problems with dogs or muggles and Chelzea found the cache quickly.
Nice quiet time to grab, sat down to sign log and suddenly had company. Was a stealth mission to replace!

On our last day in Christchurch, we came across this traditional. Searched and found it.

A relatively quick find once I finally worked out the way in. Got a fright from the dog when it suddenly barked when I was very close, but it was very friendly. TFTC.
