I turn on the gps only 300m away from this cache to check if there was any geocaches in this area! Great find. Beautiful country. TFTC.

Nice spot for a Rhino to chill out in

I know Rhino hunting is out of favour but I did enjoy this one, TFTC

Interesting wildlife in galatea

Yay very cool little find

Didnt find counted about 10 wasp nest both sides of road both ends if rail

2.50pm. It had migrated to the oither side as an earlier log suggested. Lucky that it had as there were two sizable wasp nests on the original side. Beware!! TNLNSL

M&P.

Found it very fast! Unfortunately, we didn't had a pen.
TFTC!

Great to find this as my first

It's amazing the places where Rhino's can hide, many thanks Breannah for the fun.

Quick park and grab TFTC

I think the herd has migrated to the other side. No matter, it's where you would expect a beast with a hide of steel to reside. TFTC

Rain has come today. Great little hide!!!

Looked on the wrong side at first but soon found what could have been a wild beast lol. Tftc

DNF. Look like a post had been removed, so I hope it wasn't in that.

Quick find in between showers. TFTC

Cool to see something different. Found a monkey, bug, and now a rhino.

11838... GPS initially had us looking on the wrong side of the road, great views of the ranges, thanks for showing us Breannah's Rhino.

Picked it up while traveling from Murupara golf course to Aniwhenua for the night.

All good, glad to be back in Geckoland.. Tftc Blenheim Bear

Found more quickly as a result of info from an earlier log. TFTC

Quick find, pretty much what we expected.

TFTC

Didn't know what to expect haha. The Italian Job was here....!

A cute wee cache

TFTC

We found this cute cache on the opposite side of the road from where our GPS told us to search. Still a quick easy find. TFTC

Headed to where GPSr said, but after a bit of a search I was wondering if it was still here, when hubby who hadn't followed me but had gone to the other side of road said 'does it look like a ?????' (He only knew the hint). TFTC

Glad there were none of the real thing around. After careful inspection, disturbing a large black spider, and dislodging a paper wasp nest or two, with no result we moved to the other side and hey presto there it was.
Another clever camo from Geckho.

Pleased there are no hippos about, would make the trout fishing challenging.
Found today on the way home.
TFTC
The caching was more fun and successful than the lake fishing nearby, Rerewhakaaitu was more productive., 4 in a few hours, one with a tag, so will send the details to ERFG.

Very overgrown with brambles and river full. Will come back another day

Night caching along the Rangitaiki River. Found the wasp nest and followed the direction of the last finder. An interesting cache container. TFTC.

Thought I had logged this one - but checking tonight I see I missed it - bit sad to see you using Brennah toys for your cache - Nice quick drive up the road and back TFTC

Quick find while heading back to Wellington. Found cache on the other side of the rail from co-ords. There is a paper wasp nest at co-ords (according to my GPS). TFTC.

Rhino still in its enclosure and safe

Tried to clean all caches between Muru and Te Teko...
Second DNF on easy caches I thought...
Will have to do another trip one day

Quite hard but found it haha

Had expected a quick find of a one-difficulty cache. But alas, no. There was a horde of wasps nearby, and one of them was guarding the rail. Was that a camo? Tried a gentle poke with a stick, but no ... it moved to an aggressive posture and attacked the stick.

My favourite so far Thanks Geckoh!

First looked for what I now know as a "Geckoh plastic camo". When I couldn't find that I looked for the other types of camo generally encountered in this kind of setting, but no luck. A truck was about to come past, so I left.

Passing by this way so called in to check on the cache - all safe and well!

We had a discussion about the name of this cache before we went there - rhino? When we had been looking around for a while our muggler friend just had the solution and we found this really fun cache(!) Thanks for this great cache!

DNF Wasn't quite sure what I was looking for but searched the guard rail pretty good

Quickly found just on sunset. Tickled his tum to get the log. Signed then replaced. TFTC

On 2nd stop we found this, thought we'd be in a muggle free zone, but there is a good watercress patch close by, so shot away for a while and got back to the big game hunt. ta for the cache

Another excellent cache holder! Thankyou Breannah!
As it is almost Matariki, we gave the Rhino a little necklace of stars to help light up inside her/his sentry box!

1.45pm - Yet another good camo Geckoh. SL.TFTC

Next time i pass I'll drop off a friend for Bree's rhino, had a little green bug with me but dont think they would have been good friends.

Just happened to be passing by and wondered what the noisy racket was coming from inside, was quite surprised to see who lives there! Thanks for the fun Breannah. TFTC.

Nice one Breannah. Should be well protected. Sure beats the magnetic box.
