having issues with Garmin 62c not syncing on some finds, so was found about 18moths ago.

Cool container

Cool

Another cache on my April Central Otago caching trip with my grandparents, where I went from Dunedin through to Queenstown. Very clever container, but getting the log was awkward... Quick find, TFTC

Nadja found it very quickly
Nice cache

My least favourite hint, not easy when the GPS is all over the place like today! Works when there is a little more description or type of container. Thanks for the creative cache container. Found log extraction tools nearby (twigs).

Another one with Shannon

Good fun! The neighbours were BBQing just over the fence but I don't think they noticed me.
Thanks, Big smoke.

Nice wee container. Cheers

Had trouble extracting log, had to use some nearby tools. SL TFTC

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today on our trip to Cromwell via Clyde. We enjoyed our day!
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Down this way for a spot of work and Rep training through the region of Otago and central Otago. This is the second day for work and as we got in an early start It seemed only right that we knocked off at just before 5pm. Having dropped my rep off I stole his car and told him I would see him later. This was the 6th cache around town that I located in my tour of Cromwell via GC Codes. Nice Themed Cache

as I have not spent a lot of time in this region it was great to get out and about to view the countryside.

THanks for the placement

Got this on way home from Ashburton. Two young men from Vanuatu wondering what I was doing. Good cache

Yerh cool ! TFTC

TFTC !

Easy find while biking around Cromwell. TFTC

Eventually found. Paper is wet. TFTC.

Easy find.tftc

Found it paper is wet

Found with funkymunkyzone on a long weekend caching trip down south from Auckland. A quick find at GZ; thanks!

Quick find with slieschke while caching our way around Cromwell today. TFTC!!!

Easy find

Every day we are traveling around is same but also different. Today we had again the pleasure to visit some very beautiful spots and were also able to find nearly placed geocaches. I thank every single owner for placing it and giving us with doing this an other good reason to come here.

Mallorcatommy and I were on our journey through the southern island of New Zealand. With the help of geocaches we came to so many beautiful places, saw breath-taking landscapes and had, all in all a very wonderful journey! Thank you to all owners for placing all those nice geocaches!

I can only say I must have been blinded by the hot Otago day to have pushed this cache aside to look elsewhere TFTC

Found it! After a bit of a hunt, as GPS was throwing us around a bit. TFTC

“Nothing here” said PC Sniff as I held his bike so he could search. “What about that green frog?” I asked. “Oh I thought that was just a bit of plastic,” he said after turning it over and finding the cache. Lots of fun. Thanks for placing it. I loved the container.

Cool cache

Funny find. Tftc. Spainy strikes again!

Very clever. Not sure if inner plastic was intended for extra meaning(?)

Spent a little time hunting in old location before going to new location, quickly discovered and log signed, TFTC

Greetings from the UK. Found on our way to Queenstown. Lone dog gave us verbal criticism! TFTC, SL, TNLN

I really enjoy spending time in New Zealand, I just love it here. Its nature, people and adventures I am passing through. Awesome place, thank you very much for introducing to myself and for the cache itself Sorry for late logging, I have some problems with internet access during travelling.

Thx for the cache.

That was our day in Cromwell. Didireh + I drove and walked around and did some caches. I had bad luck and fought with a thorn, but she wons and I had a bloddy hand. Didireh had a look on a other place and she found the cache. I was on the wrong place. Thx to her! TFTC!

TFTC

Haha nice container. TFTC

Found with Jemnz. TFTC

I bet everyone to find this in my group!

TFTC!

Holidaying in the South Island, grabbing a few caches on the way. Easy early morning find. Thanks for the cache.

Found this one while on holiday from home at Whangamata TFTC

A nice find as I make my way around the lower South Island

TFTC

We are loving our time in New Zealand and thank all of the local cachers for placing so many caches for us to find. Today we tried our hand at speed caching. We drove from Wannaka to Lake Dunstan, down to see roaring Meg, dropped off in Arrowtown, over the hill to Cardrona then back around the other side of Lake Dunstan and down to Cromwel before finally driving back to Wanaka.. A very long day but a fab trip. Thank you for all of the caches along the way. We had our best day ever caching.

Done tricky

Found it didn't bring a pencil cool cache .

Thx for cache

Had to widen my search area, but luckily made the find. Reading the logs I now see why. TFTC

Have had to make some changes due to some gardening in the area Thanks Daywalk

[Went on an evening amphibian hunt after arrival at Cromwell. As arrranged with Big Smoke, shifted the critter to a nearby place in the reserve where future searchers won't encounter any problems. Cache is in good order.

It's now 18 m away from the original coordinates, at S 45 02.343, E 169 11.378 hint ]basetree

this cache needs urgent attention, as it appears to be boarding on private property, resident is not happy

Got caught by someone who thought we were going to the toilet. :-/. Found it though. TFTC

Great! Loved the container, although we needed some tools before we could sign the log. TFTC

Second try for this one, found at last.

Tftc

Spotted the little chap as I walked towards him and he rapidly divulged the logsheet for me. A shame about all the rubbish lying around, I hope the cache doesn't get cleaned up if the rubbish is ever removed! Signed log, TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Fun easy find for the 2 yr old nice place .

Thanks for the cache

Found when out for walk

No pencil in cache for signing log with

TFTC TNLN

Find #616

TFTC!

Quick and easy find with great stealth required as it seemed very close to someones window. Tricky to replace log as well, but loved the container tftc!

Found on a day trip to Cromwell with Highnoon1976. TFTC

Was another easy find. Great container by the way. Suits well. Found with PurpleDragonFire. TFTC

Boys doing the half marathon so a perfect cache on the route

A bit of rubbish around, but found the cache easily enough. It appealed to my wife as she is fond of these creatures. Thanks for the cache.

Knocked this one off on a morning walk as this was the last cache apart from the A-Z that we had not ticked off in a 15km radius of Cromwell. Nice cache container but I didn't think much of the greenway it took me to. I walk a lot in Cromwell down most of the greenways. This is an area I avoid as it is very untidy. The grass is long and there is a lot of rubbish around. Not somewhere I would want to take visitors. We live by a greenway and we keep the grass and garden in the greenway near our house tidy as the contractors do a pretty good job in the time they have but they do not have time to get to under every bush or corner especially in areas where the neighbours appear to abuse the greenway and encroach on it with their junk.

At Arrowtown for a holiday thought be great time to nail some caches in the area. TFTC.

finally found it this time, it hadnt croaked

thanks big sis

Ha very clever hide! TFTC

New logbook in place thanks to my cachesitters

Hmmmmm - found frog quickly enough with an enema tube hanging out of its backside and a very sodden log that was useless. Put in a small piece of new paper but the CO may want to consider upgrading this cache. Certainly needs maintenance.

Small stop here for lunch and to search some caches.

Here is the logbook wet and needs replacement.

TFTC from Germany

Koppa-s

Tried this one in the dArk with only one torch between us and beginning to rain, but no luck.

Paper is too wet to write on. Good spot.

Good frog. Log is a bit wet

I liked this one thanks

On a very hot day, this cache should cool us off.... poor hot fella!

The junior dakotacat found this one pretty quickly, putting the log back took much longer. TFTC

Nice hide and cooler day. Thanks

Like to do these sorts of tricky hides. Nice find by Mr B. Appreciate the extra effort with the container.
Thanks for placing this cache!
