No luck today! Even with three sets of eyes seeking the prize. Oh well, if it was there we'll get it another day!
Co-ordinates were out by quite a bit. However I got there quite quickly in the end using the hint. Nice outer container for the cache.
Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.
Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.
Found while out exploring before the snow came

After arriving at my relative's house on the Otago Peninsula we decided to go search for an after-dinner geocache.
Really nice hide which I will give a favorite point.

Agree that the hint is more accurate than the coordinates - but at least the muggle thought I might be coming to sort out her sewerage!
after watching the rest of the crew from the car floundering round in the wrong spot, I jumped out and offered them some help. We soon extracted the well hidden target and had the long signed. Replaced as found. Thanks.

I had been planning to come down to Dunedin on this weekend for quite a while! And what wonderful luck that it happens to be the weekend of no events in Chch, and an event and a CITO in Dunedin! Worked out absolutely perfectly!!
Went out in the late morning after a leasurely breakfast to go and collect some specific caches with mum and my fiancee.
A quick and easy find for us today once we stopped following the GPS, and followed the hint instead. GPS wanted us to go and get run over!!! Silly thing!!!
But hint was bang on, and we were soon signing that one and off to the next spot!
Consec caching day # 644

Starting looking in the wrong spot but noticed another just like it a few metres away Tsk tsk tsk
Found on our bike ride into town. We first thought the coordinates were over the other side of the road at the cliff, but that looked too dangerous. Using the hint we were able to find the cache after a little searching.

Spent a bit of time scurrying around, even started to doubt the hint, but as per usual it was then that I located the cache. TFTC

Was in Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 8 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 5 of the road trip. This was our last day of caching in Dunedin region and we wanted to go back out to the Peninsula and pick up a few more caches.
After finding GC3MEAE - The Science of Geocaching (Dunedin, Otago), this was the next cache that we had on our list that we wanted to pick up on our way around Portobello Road, as we making our way around the Peninsula.
Making our way towards GZ, as we neared GZ we managed to find a parking spot not too far away from GZ and it was a short easy walk to GZ and it only took a few seconds to find the cache, we were lucky as we used the hint and managed to retrieve, signed and replaced the cache back as found very quickly.
Thanks Challispoint for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (5114). Was definitely glad that there werent too many muggles around GZ, otherwise retrieval would have being a major issue.

Found as part of an 8 day NZ Mega Event trip. Day 5 - Our last full day in Dunedin which was mainly filled in by another trip out on the peninsular and a stroll on Flagstaff hill. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Another neat little find as we headed out towards the peninsula and the lighthouse. A wet day on our tour, but we manged to make the find. The lighthosue ended up being out of reach which was a little disappointing, but the drive was still worth it.
Found with ZsaZsa7, Winglen, fitzy_1965 and Rextrex (local NZer) on our trip around the South Is after attending the New Zealand Mega. We managed to grab a few caches on travels and this was just one of them.
Thanks for this one, another one to the tally.
