time to sit back and relax but first i had to find this one, that was easy, tftc

A nice place to stop on my way through town this afternoon, wandered over before making a quick find here, TFTC

This was a nice area to stop before I got into Riverton and find a cache to boot. TFTC.

Nice easy find, while visiting Great Aunt Cecilie at the retirement village opposite. Thanks for the cache.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 57 - Invercargill, Southland - Te Anau, Fjordland, South Island, Nov Zland (asi 250 km) Uvtalo m slunen rno a 15C a motorki vude kolem. Southern Scenic Route je zejm vyhledvan nejen turisty. Po sndani jsem polovila pr keek ve mst a stavila se v zednsk li na WC a pak jela do Bluff, nejjinjho msteka Jinho ostrova. Tady cesta kon a zem taky. Dl se d jen lod na mal ostrovy patc jet k Zlandu a pak u jen na Jin pl. Na konci silnice byla keka Konec zem a tu jsem nemohla vynechat. Bylo tu mraky lid a hlavn tch motork, ale ke byla schovan v zeleni pmo na pobe, tak probhla trocha akrobacie po pobench kamenech a mm ji. Dal dleit ke byla naopak na kopci nad obc, kde je mal rozhledna. A nahoru se jede autem, ale star ke z ledna 2001 je pkn schovan ve velmi vzrostl zeleni, take opt boj s prodou. Ale nebylo to tak hrozn jako na Mt. Cargill. Vrtila jsem se do Invercargill, nakoupila v pekrn sladk i slan kole a toasty a vyrazila na dal st Southern Scenic Route, kter vedla jet kus po pobe Southlandu a pak se stoila do vnitrozem a dojela jsem u do oblasti Fjordland. Taky se hned na obzoru objevily docela vysok hory. Ne jako ty zaoblen zelen kopeky, co byly dosud vude kolem, ale masvn piat skalnat hory. Cel den bylo ndhern kolem 17C a slunce a v horskm dol pak naveer a 21C. Proda vude krsn. Jela jsem kolem nkolika jezer a mokad, pes ky, kde jsou jednoproud mostky, i mal osady a provoz tu byl u minimln. Cestou jsem lovila keky a dky nim navtvila teba starou kolu z 19.stolet i pkn star etzov most. Do Te Anau u velkho jezera jsem dojela a po 19.hodin, nakoupila vodu a colu, odlovila 2 keky a jela na motel. Je to m dl t po celm dni jet veer zalogovat keky a nachystat si dal na cestu. Jsem u docela unaven a potebovala bych asi dal tden nkde na tropickm ostrov, ale na to u nezbv as. Cestovn je prost krsn dina.In the morning I found a few caches in the city and then went to Bluff to the land end and to get an old cache on the hill. Again, a bit of a struggle with nature, but not so terrible. If you hit the right path, it works. Then I continued along the Southern Scenic Route around the coast and caches and reached the lake in Te Anau in Fjordland. Along the way, I saw a lot of beautiful places like the old chain bridge or the old school. I had a nice day. Thanks to everyone for the caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.

Collected this on the way back to Invercargill as it's another minute for the SI 300 Minutes challenge.

TFTC

We are slowly heading back home after finishing the hump ridge track , picking up few caches on the way. It was an incredible three days of pure magic. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.
First searched the very obvious spot but dont know.. going blind may be.. then widened the search area and after spending almost 5 whole minutes at every possible place, found it ultimately from the first spot itself. Story of a cacher eh..

hopefully people will work to covid restrictions

due to covid

on a tour turning green to gold faces. tftc

Lovely place, beautiful late afternoon. It may need new box and plastic bag, log book very wet. Cheers.

TFTC

Nice hide although quite in the view of muggles. Logbook is very wet as bag is broken. Very nice spot!

Rock bug added to cache T4TC

Day 15 of my 2020 NZE (New Zealand Experience).
(My apologies for the delayed logging but I'm still in catch-up mode)

Seeing as I can't be in America right now, I'm touring around the South Island instead. During my time here I am aiming to find as many of the TMGT caches as I can (preferably all 41) and also as many Virtuals, Earthcaches and Letterbox Hybrids as possible, plus any Trads or others that will fill a hole in my D/T grid, my Jasmer grid, or else the last 3 remaining Hidden Dates on that grid.

I haven't been this far south since my very first holiday to NZ back in 1988, so this part of my tour is a chance to pay Southland a long overdue visit. And of course this is my first time here as a geocacher, so plenty of scope to find caches galore! Today's plan was to spend the morning in and around Invercargill before making my way over towards Monkey Island and then meandering my way up to hopefully get to Queenstown by nightfall. Having had a bit of damp weather over the last day or so, it was good to get the sun back today.

There was no other vehicles around as I pulled off the highway, so I was able to walk over to GZ and conduct my search without interruption. No problems finding this cache and there were no issues with the cache or the log, so I was able to complete the usual caching administration before the whole lot was replaced exactly as found.

Thanks for placing this cache.

Found on way to Invercargill. Enjoying the caches

Eighth day of a two week motorhome excursion, heading via the Coast to the lower South Island, picking up a few caches along the way – eight today. Meandering from Tuatapere to Invercargill today. Took a moment or two to figure out where this one was. Good hide! #3364. TFTC.

A nice view after we afternoon the a at Riverton. Jude-E and I are on a geocaching trip to the deep south. Instead of driving down from Christchurch we decided to get a cheap flight down. Thanks farmer2some for placing this geocache 7992 find for me.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

Day 2 of a 3 day caching venture with Nosynel. We have a few goals in mind, especially the TMGT caches and Bluff Hill. Looks like the rain has finally stopped so we are off to the last TMGT. Quick p & g here. Thanks for the hide.
