Another Crossing (Otago) Balclutha, South Island, New Zealand
By Lehcier on 28-Apr-11. Waypoint GC2V5FA

No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Work on main street up grade is still on going this is planned to be finished 14th Dec and cache will be back active soon after

Due to redevelopment of the main street area I have had to removed this cache for safety reasons and the site has now been removed. this work is due to be completed in November and cache will be returned as soon as possible

I noticed that this cache has been in need of owner attention for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

The. Crossing is in the process of being moved - so what was is no longer there

Driving by late at night. Picked up ok. Then a truck decided to make a delivery over the road. Ended up spending a long time searching the available real estate

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.

Had a two night stopover in Invercargill, found while heading North

Today we drive from te anau to duniden . On the way we pickup some caches and this one was one of it. Another grad day in new zealand with great caches .TFTC

Nicely hidden - found back in Feb but just getting around to logging now - TFTC

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today in Balclutha and on the way to Milton, Waihola, Taieri Mouth, Brighton and Dunedin. We had a lot of splendid scenic views!
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Very quick simple find.

Found it on my way to Dunedin while cycling around the two islands of NZ. This was a quick find...

Yes soon had our hands on this one thank you

Sneaky hide on a very busy street. Lucky for us it was after hours so not too many muggles around. Tftc

Cheers Gav

A tricky little find in a very public location. TFTC.

first to the cache. Found with rediguana and Moneydork heading south on a trip to Stewart Island TFTC.

On our way to dunedin... TFTC

While traveling in NZ for a month from Japan with a Campervan,I visited the cache. Caches makes travels much fun. Thank you.

Today's trip from Invercargill to Dunedin was primarily to find Table Hill but there is great scenery in the Catlins to see as well, which is something I can't say for Balclutha.

Found it during my kiwi traveling around south island. TFTC

Found while staying overnight from Australia. Love the replica bridges. TFTC

Together with my family on a vacation trip to New Zealand. Starting at Auckland airport on transfer to Christchurch we went for a roundtrip exploring the south island. This was one of many caches we found while visiting so many nice and interesting places thanks to all the caches why I want to send a thank you to all CO for the work spent. TFTC.

Havinging stayed the night in Balclutha we picked up a couple of town caches before heading for the Caitlins.
Tricky to remove log book here.

helennbrian n 2/4 tribe

Took us longer to find this one that it should've, still though got there in the end! TFTC

We stopped off here on the way back to Dunedin. Plenty of motorbikes, and the associated increased police presence, going past heading home after the Burt Munro Challenge.


We had to wait for a puase in the muggle traffic but quickly figured where we should be looking

:bad: New Zealand - Aotearoa - Middle-earth 2012 or "There and Back Again" :bad:

We found this cache during a short stop while heading towards the south.

Time: 12.27 h

No trade.

Tack för cachen!

Sanne & Kiki

Nice crossings alright. We had a trouble free grab and sign. Thanks

8 sets of eyes, one cache the prize!

Snapped up pretty swiftly after a bit of banter. Thanks for showing us the crossings. And thanks Lehcier for (another) cache.

A very amusing time here. While our lunch order was filled, we wandered down a few metres to look for a cache, trying to look like we weren't looking. The workmen nearby didn't fall for that, so I decided that explaining what we were up to was the best policy. I think they were surprised, but were polite enough to be interested in these strange Australians. We had a nice chat before moving on. Thanks Lehcier!

I think Felix II summed it up pretty well. Workmen, cachers, hunting together. One of the workmen new about caching, and now he has met one....or two....or three....or four...... Anyway, a fun little hide on a well hidden cache with a little twist..

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 the cache and the chance to see more of the South island.

A shared find with my Aussie caching mates Winglen, Zsazsa7, Sol de Lune and Fitzy-1965 as a part of the NZMEGA2012 experience and our subsequent tour.

Very distinctive pedstrian crossing abutments - most impressed. Also impressed with Mr FelixII saving the day by producing an additional logbook for the cache - thanks guys; and thanks Lehcier.

5570 + 591 = 6161. Day 4 of my week long visit to the New Zealand South Island for the NZ Mega 2012 event along with Sol de Lune, Zsazsa7, Winglen and RexTrex.

Today we drove from Dunedin down to Invercargill caching along the way. A find made during our lunch break ! With FelixII and 3 workmen giving advice FelixII finally came up with the prize. Thanks again Lehcier !

TNLN – TFTC !!

Cheers....

Took a bit of searching, not helped by several workmen in the vicinity ... but off they all went to Smoko, and Varuna zoomed in .... Note the log is FULL.

Accompanied with Sp00k & ciotach on travelling south/west tour, thanks for the cache and fun.

Day 11 of our NZ tour for the MEGA. Mr Felix is having a Birthday today , Hip Hip Hooray Happy Birthday.

We headed out of Dunedin today about 9.30am with no set plans but with a possibility of stopping overnight in GORE. You can't travel too far when there are so many caches to stop you every few km's. (unless you go past some of course.....)

Yet again we were leapfrogging with our new geofriends! They were heading for a Cafe for lunch. One more cache before we move on. Doh, what's that 3 workment at GZ, Mrs Felix spotted a Fish n Chip shop so we stopped there for a while to order some lunch and observe GZ hoping that the workmen might also take a lunchbreak. Instead we noticed 5 Geocachers swarming over GZ! Mr Felix rushed out to join them rather than be behind the 8 ball!

Sure enough 6 Geocachers, + 2 of (3) workmen now on the hunt the cache was turned up by Mr Felix but alas the log was full [B)]. so in the rain he raced back to the Geo Hire Car to retrieve a new log. He managed to move the car closer to replace the log, sign 6 names and collect Mrs Felix and lunch before we moved onwards.

Clever little hide this one, we were a little confused as the 2 GPS devices had 2 different caches coming up (descriptions) but we got there eventually!

Found this neat cache on our Blitz of the South Island while here for the mega event.
Many thanks for the cool cache.
TNLNSL

Just started raining when we found the cache. Took it back to the car to sign the log then it started hailing. Wasn't keen to get back out but had to make the quick dash to return it.
Many thanks

1620, GAFF3, Found by Geoson and I after the NZ Mega on our way to Balclutha.

A clever hide, lukily no muggles about this afternoon.

TFTC Lehcier

A Little confusion when we stopped to get this one, We had the wrong cache description up, So caused some issues. We eventually found it, and then moved on.. TFTC.

Clever hide! Took cunning to find this. Well done!

Nice one. Just trying for 3000th cache today after the mega event.Found this quite quickly luckily

Found at 3:20:00 PM. In Dunedin for the Mega and seeing some of the sights in the surrounding area.

Thanks Lehcier

Found but not in the first two places I looked. TFTC #4035

A quick find in the rain. TFTC

The GPS gods were with me today as I stood in the hail searching for this cache. I'd chosen the right spot to begin my search, and with only one circumnavigation, the cache was mine! Ducked back to the car to sign it - I didn't think you'd appreciate a soaking wet log - then back into the hail to replace, all unseen. There are some advantages to caching in inclement weather! TFTC, Lehcier. =^.^=

Found with Emvy_us on our southern tiki tour while attending the Dunedin Mega. TFTC

No luck for me on this one today.

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. TFTC

Got a park almost right at GZ and made a quick find. TFTC

#2171 @1540
Easily found on a pre Mega excursion through the Caitlins, up to Gore and back to Dunedin via Balclutha. TFTC.

Drove to Invercargill yesterday to visit a very fast Indian. Thought we'd pick up a few caches on our way to Dunedin. TFTC

We are out for the day with the Earthbound's whilst on our NZ Mega Trip. Cache was easily located, logbook signed and cache replaced. TFTC

Just on dusk on a rainy night, not a bad time to try and find this one. Took a wee while to locate. Great idea of having distinctive crossings. SL. TFTC.

18/10/12 4:26 PM Find #1963
Day 6 of our trip around the south island for the NZ mega with Kinkell1
Found in the pouring rain.
Thanks for the cache, Highrod - Ballarat, Vic, Australia
