Sorry, I think this one has done its dash and we are unlikely to get over there to perform maintenance any time soon.
Just finished a show at Riverton Primary School and thought to come and hunt for this cache with my performance team. TFTC
Found out in the open and lid off container. Very wet. Dried as best as i could and placed it where hint put it. TFTC
Came out to check this, cache was dry so replaced paper but forgot a bag. Hopefully this will be ok till we next go past with a bag.
Found it while out for a swim. It didnt have a pen so we didnt sign the logbook.
needs attention, mouldy and filled with water. was a nice wander down from the main road though, a lot of shells washed up on the beach that were fun to crunch through
Log very wet, easy find, staying in area for couple days, grabbing some cashes while here tftc
A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.
Ms_KR and I are heading to Invercargill for a tramping club 75th jubilee, so we left a bit early in hope that the weather would be fine, so we could get a bit of caching in. So far it has been good, fingers crossed for the rest of the time away.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Nice easy find watching the tides. Found while travelling the South Island in our caravan for a year
Glorious day today in Riverton. Brought my parents here as they hadn’t been and have just dropped them at the Museum. Took the time to walk down to the beach and do the cache. Easy find, many thanks.
Quick easy find here on a nice morning. Spent about an hour beachcombing, lucky I didn't have time to stay longer or I might have gone home with half the beach! Left a little treasure - AA. Tftc.
Out and about finding caches in the wider Riverton area, some solved puzzles and a mix of other types.
Thank you for the cache.
Thank you for the cache.
Main objective today again was logging solved puzzle caches and anything else on the way. It was a great day with even the tide cooperating. TFTC
A quick find once I'd satisfied the 4 legged locals in the adjoining paddock that I was no threat. TFTC
Another cache that recalls our Te Araroa South Island walk NOBO a couple of years ago. I remember being exhausted by the time I walked here from Otatara. Windy here today, rather bleak. TFTC
A short drive down to this deserted beach, where we made a quick find. Thanks for placing.
Down in Riverton for s little break. 2nd cache found about town. Nice beach! Tftc. Log wet.
Great find amazing trading we took a wolf action figure and put in a baby doll and a ginger bread house button
Staying in our motorhome at the Golf Club for a couple of nights. Saw a geocache nearby so geopup Finn and I went for a walk down to the beach. Lovely sand beach with some stony and Shelly patches. Will be a nice walk when tide is out.
Nice quick easy find. Container and log all good. TFTC.

A fine but very cold breezy day. The surf is up and a few hardy young fisher boys out trying their luck. A nice spot if it wasn’t so cold. TFTC.
This was sooo much fun and I got an amazing shell and found a snail shell with no one living in it. We left $5 in there for someone that needs it
Back on the TA this time greenstone to bluff just over 300km so my last "big" section to complete..have no time restrictions so perfect opportunity to get a load of caches as I walk passed .
As you would expect the scenery is amazing
The penultimate day of my trip and it was going to be a great day on the beach..starting with a quick find as I left riverton..tftc

Parked the caravan in Riverton to escape the winds so off exploring and caching! First find for the day. Found with Conbat. TFTC!
Called here this morning on the way into Riverton - a quick find in a nice spot. Signed log, TFTC.
(# 6120). Day 8 of my South Island odyssey. Today is getting some caches between Dunedin and Invercargill/Riverton as well as having a good look around. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC
First for the day on our way home from visiting this lovely area. Unfortunately it was raining so Mrs VDH56 did the ground work while the rest of us stopped in the car.
Cache 167 so many muggles today on their lunch break sitting watching the waves roll in.... so took the dogs for a quick run down the beach then grabbed the cache quickly to sign log when no one was looking. Rock bug added to cache T4TC
Thanks for the cache. I forgot my pen but I live locally so I will go back and sign the log 
**Found on our February - March tour around the South Island. Logging back home in Auckland in Lockdown isolation.**
Today we travelled from Invercargill to Winton, via a "slightly" longer than necessary route. We had met up with the CO of this cache while finding the Big I caches a few days ago. We stopped in Riverton-Aparima to do the earthcache, then came out to Stoney Beach. Soon realised where the cache had to be. Thanks.

A week of work in Invercargill. After work today I headed to Colac Bay and Riverton for an evening of caching. Visited Riverton multiple times as a kid but I don't think we ever came over to this beach. Today I rectified that. Admired the huge group of oyster catchers on the beach and of course grabbed a cache. Thanks for the cache.
Too much thunder lightning and rain for tramping so I'll have a day if caching
It's nearly 9.0pm so my last for the day
