gone

I think this one is gone. Two trees side by side have been blown over. Looks like the cache has fallen out. No sign of it. Bitsprayer may need to check this one next time he is in the area.

Long search but couldn't find it.

No good for us.

Searched for a while here. There is a tree down at gz so cache possibly came down with it.

Searched for ages but couldn't find it.

Cool morning, been awhile since last caching. Thanks

Nice quick find tyftc

Did a victory dance when we found this easy catch with a gorgeous view of the river. TFTC

Easy to find. Thanks you.

Found on our trip from Queenstown to Lake Tekapo. TFTC

Good find

(Found with Don Cristobal)

Coming here for staying for one night we also had to do these two caches in this area. Took us a while in the dark but finally we found them
Thanks for hiding says CachingTIA

On a mission from Rolleston to Tekapo, Twizel, Omarama, Kurow, Waimate and home again. Found over 100 caches, which was the goal for the day. A bit drizzly for a start but beautiful sunshine through the Mackenzie. Thanks to all the CO's and apologies for the cut and paste.

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . TFTC

Cool surprise to find while camping!!

Quick find. Thanks.

Finally, the day has come and I have arrived to New Zealand. This three week long trip has been planned for more than 6 months. First of all, I was going to visit my daughter and her boyfriend, who has been on the islands for almost one year, next was to see as much as possible of both North and South islands. My daughter had done a day to day planning on where to go and what to see. This trip was not planned as a Geocaching trip, but we should definitely search for some caches all over the islands.

Day 20. Cromwell – Mt Cook

A shorter trip from Cromwell to Mt Cook was on the program for today. A few stops was made on this trip. This was one of the caches we found. Logged together with Klövsson and Familjenloov. Tftc

Quick find TFTC

Found a wonderful nest with 5 eggs nearby.

Nice quick find. Log in good condition. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25.

Found it in after a bit of searching a few trees!

Nach einem anstrengenden Wandertag, ein ruhiges Plätzchen am Fluss gefunden und noch schnell zwei Caches gefunden. Erfolgreicher Tag . TFTC

For some reason this wouldn't show up on the live map on my phone, or the compass rose. I knew vaguely where GZ was but not close enough to even be worth searching. There are an awful lot of old willows there. Hopefully the system will debug before my next visit later in the year.

cache is still there despite the signs of a recent party within a few meters of GZ. cheers

Nice spot after a night at the campground. Tftc

Stayed a night at the campsite and grabbed this on the way out. Thanks for the cache!

Pleasant walk with lovely Bella to find this on a sunny winter's day

This is the second day of my two-day trip from Invercargill to Christchurch, grabbing a few caches on the way. A wet start to the day, but improved as the day went on. A quick find in the rain - signed log in the car and returned as found. Thanks for the cache Bitsprayer.

Thanks a lot for the next New Zealand´s cache! I must say that this country is one of the best for the geocaching and geocachers in the world! Definitely YES! Beautiful hills, mountains, views, landscape, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, rocks, forests, ocean, villages, cities, farms, orchards etc. AyAmalin loves this country!
Greetings from the Czech Republic! I would like to invite all geocachers to Czechia, we have got many excellent caches on amazing places too!

BaldEd and I had teamed up again and were working as a team for the rest of the day. One finds the cache while the other signs it.

Cheers for the cache.

Tufty and I made a quick visit to the Old Willows as we made our way back to Omarama for lunch. Thanks for the placement Bitsprayer.

This one took a little longer than it should have, but the hint was right on

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today around Omarama and on the way to Clearburn, Ohau & Lake Ohau, Twizel and Mount Cook Village. Tonight we can rest at the foot of the impressive Mount Cook ... what an experience!

Quick find. TFTC

Great spot!

No campers this time !

Which tree, that tree.

Finally, driving passed this area and noone was there. Time to collect.... Homeward trek after our winters tour down the West Coast. The weather is great (though cool), and the scenery fantastic. What a beautiful country we live in. Thanks for the hide.

A lot of water at the moment

River running very fast today. TFTC.

We spent the nice in the camping area, and enjoyed a wee walk in the am. No muggles in the cold weather.

Stream was roaring today!

First for the day on the return journey home. TFTC. #930

Pleasant morning stroll from Omarama

Last cache before Omarama because this was muggle free and the planned other one wasn't.
Thanks.

Tftc!

Drove right up to this one and made a quick find.
Found on a round up in the area with DebsNZ and Aoraki Sheep.
TFTC

Great hiding place! Found with Aoraki Sheep and Woody104.

It needed a small hand to extract this one. Found with Woody104 and debsnz

Quick find while stay'n here TFTC

Thanks for the cache. It was nice place to visit.

This is a "hollow find"

Found on a cycle trip Alps 2 Ocean. A fantastic ride with a wide range of magnificent country. TFTC

we camped at this place...
tftc

Barking up the wrong tree again but eventually found it. Area was relatively busy but still managed. TFTC

Nice easy find, even with tents all over the place, one within a meter of this cache. No people around to make it hard either.

Our first cache for the day about 113km from home. Were surprised how many people camped down here and were greeted by a couple of dogs who just never gave up barking the whole time we were there. We also had a look at the interesting way some of the campers heated their water. One of them was obviously a plumber. An easy find right beside somebodies shower tent but there were no muggles other than the four legged variety anywhere to be seen. We wondered where they had all gone for lunch.

Easy find on our way from Wanaka to Lake Tekapo. Tftc!

Wanted to get this one but there were people camping right next to gz so had to keep on driving past. Next time....

Find during our trip. Thank you.
