Logs
We have had enough of the maintenance associated with this cache
The false bird in the tree was originally on a very large wire and sat in the upper branched in the trees- a cacher heavily handed smashed that !
Not put back properly as some cachers were happy to retrieve but less happy to put back where it was put originally !
Next version LG climbed the tree and tied it up there - it has now gone we are simply not replacing again
Thanks to those who did look after it
We will add something in the area soon

Had a pretty good look for this one ( never certain whether pretty good is good enough for a LG cache) found only a length of blue line so not sure if this was involved in the hide in any way.
Super easy after already finding the other LGM caches in the area - so was a little bit of an anticlimax.
Relief at last to find our first Little G hide, had been on the trail of several. Thanks for the help.
First visited this one last year as a 'helper'- so was looking forward to finding it again in my own right. Wasn't where I remembered- but persistence paid off in the end. Not convinced the terrain rating is accurate- would be very difficult for some people to get to. Thanks LG
Got to GZ and had a look around for a while and then spotted something suspicious!! LOVE IT!! An awesome hide, thanks!!

After two successful finds the lads were raring to go for the next cache. My, do they have eagle eyes. Found and logged in a jiffy.

After a bit of searching I had the cache spotted and let out a chuckle. I soon after in hand and signed. Funny hide. Thanks!
Found during our cycling trip on sunny windy day. Quick find with Chris. Greetings from CZ.
wow.. you clever sausage... thanks for the inspiration... luckly i was long enough to make the cache in a hop skill and a reach - some advantage to be tall enough to bang your head on every thing... had to give up on the rest of them nearby due to the over whelming power of grass suitable for hay fever... made a run for the campground!
Ha!!! Nice, after two successful LGM hides I'm always apprehensive as to the success of the next adventure. I spotted the cache from a distance. Got to GZ easily and wouldn't you know it a muggle and his four legged companion pop over the crest of the hill and spot me immediately in my high viz gear. Hmm, I here now. The muggle stops and starts talking to me and mentions the interesting container there. I didn't say much but then he goes on to say if I was responsible for the orange magpies!?! What?!?! He has spotted a magpie that have been painted orange. I must have looked official or something. He was satisfied I wasn't the phantom magpie painter and went off to continue walking his dog. Funny. I signed the log and put the cache back as I found it. Nice, "didn't I say that already". What a streak, 3 from 3 LGM caches. Now off to the DNF I had a few weeks back...

Easy find, spotted it from quite far away. Will test older and smaller hunters tho. With Skunkgal.

very cool. We were about to head for home when Mrs SproggV spied the elusive cache.
We also spied some droppings from a different animal, so watch your feet.

Tried for this one at the end of the walk around the lakes. Kids tired, getting a bit frustrated as it was the fourth Little G that we failed to find today. Luckly had two finds from other peoples caches on the walk around.
We had completed our planned caches earlier than expected and then noticed a park full of Little G Magic caches so off we went.
Nuts was first. On arrival we saw a good sized stump but the GPSr and phone had GZ another 20m away where there was no stump so after re reading the description we put the GPSr away and used the hint. We could see where so other people had searched in a board area so carefully looked around before eventually turning up the cache after far too long. Had a laugh at the container, signed the log and re hid. TFTC
We then set off for web of intrigue. On getting close to GZ we thought we would be getting wet but after a short careful look we spotted a potential hide and then soon had the log on hand. The log is a little damp as the cap to the container is missing but we managed to sign before setting the cache free again. TFTC
It was then off to Rocky and Hidden Log. We spotted the rock from some distance off and then realised to not search the rock. We stood back and surveyed the area when something caught our eye about 10m from our GZ ( not a good day for the GPSr ). We had a little difficulty getting the cache lid off but soon where signing the log before replacing. Luckily not too many muggle about. TFTC
Our last for the park was Bird Droppings. A bit of search before thinging about the cache mean and then it was a quick and obvious find with the GPSr behaving itself. We completed the signign duties and re hid. TFTC

After a disappointing arrival with no luggage we discovered this nice cache right behind our backpackers bunkhouse.
Last cache of the day and a great one to end off with staying at the camp park next to this cache. Did at night by torch ligh. Did with Mycro Man on our NZ MEGA 2012 South Island Trip
25/10/12 6:37 PM Find #2089
Day 13 of our trip around the south island for the NZ mega with Kinkell1
Staying in the nearby caravan park, so we went for a pre dinner walk.
Thanks for the cache, Highrod - Ballarat, Vic, Australia

Found while out for a walk around the lakes just as it was getting dark. No time for any of the others...will come back another day. Was reasonably once I got my head around things. TN:LN:SL. TFTC. #156 for us.
Put back as semi intended - not as good as the original before it was smashed by a cacher but will have to do. Suggest you sign in situ its not too difficult ! LGM
found lying on ground, thought it wasnt supposed to be there since we saw alot of snapped branches.. put back in an obvious spot. TFTC
As we suspect absolutely nothing wrong - everything is there and ready to be found where most people would be looking !- LGM

Overnighting in the nearby Holiday Park to specifically cache during the afternoon; needing the rest of the series in this park. Just jumped over the boundary fence. Found cache after considerable searching BUT we suspect physical cache not at published GZ due to tree clearing. Have contacted owner accordingly!! An interesting concept and 'container' Well Done !! TFTC
Luckily the dog didn't scare this one off and we were able to log the find. Finally found an LGM cache after a few DNF's.
A new area for us, pretty cool it is now a recreation park. Cache quickly spotted. Thanks
Our second LGM today and it was again my colleague who found this. We had a laugh too. Good one!
Nice one, thought I was looking for the normal LGM esoteric micro container or some such and was pleasantly surprised. TNLN Thanks
"Hey - what does the description say?" asked Mporokosa. As I was turning my Garmin back on she made the swoop. 3 LGM favourites in one afternoon.
A quick easy find despite its being a LittleG Magic cache. Another favourite. TFTC
Out on a LGM hunt today. Had found this cache at it's previous site. Went back and Ruru NZ & I sat back and watched JustmeG, KiwiCampNut & BalooSu try to work out what and where the cache would be. A popular find that was snagged by KiwiCampNut.
On a day of caching with MacPacFamily Mum, JustMeG, KiwiCampNut and RuruNZ.
KiwiCampNut did the plucking on this one. Didn't envy her the location!!!

#92 This was an interesting cache. The grass was really long but it was a pleasant day for the outing and the promise of seeing jet boats over the hill added to the thrill.
Out to find some LittleG caches today with JustMeG; Macpacfamily - Mum; BalooSu and RuruNZ. Number two on our list. No poop dropped on me today but I did find the cache. Thanks for the exercise on this one Little G. Kiwicampnut

Cache found with Krtik together. Clever hidden
There we spent 6 weeks in NZ on bicycles. Nice trip thru both islands, interesting nature, wildlife, people, campsites, geocaching, etc... I'd like come back sometime...
Greetings from Czech Rep. / Europe

5/26 for the day before heading back to Greymouth. Cool cache. Took a bit more time to put it back the exact way I retrieved it, but we got it. TFTC
Went to this cache as it had so many favourite points we were intrigued. Very good and we can see why so many like it. We had a great afternoon's fun in the park. Thanks.
My first found cache on the South Island. Having just left the Airport and on the way North, this area popped up. Seemed like it would be worth a look, so I did!
Parked beside the road and wandered in to this one. I had it sighted from about 6m away...
Signed the log and returned to the car, laughing as I went. You're getting a favourite point for this one!
Thanks for the cache, LittleG Magic

#753: Cache Droppings.
I came back to this area to complete some unfinished business. Also, this was one of my "open" calendar days, and we were out at the Antarctic Center enjoying the 1/2 price deal for Christchurch residents on now, so the drive was not too far. Having found a cousin of this one recently, I thought I'd know what to look for, and sure enough, I soon had all in hand. Had to scramble at the last bit. but made it in the end. I like the way this one blends in with its surroundings.
SL/TFTC!

took a bit of looking, made the youngest retrieve the cache, very clever, TFTC LittleG Magic
Found with a group of year 9 and 10 students from St Bede's College. Have not seen a cache like this before. Excellent. TFTC.
A bit of a trek across the long grass dodging a muggle on a tractor who was cutting the grass. TFTC
Great, thanks.

One of my favorites, got some nice photos but won't log them as it will give it away.
(592) While Mrs Brogan and Mini Brogan headed back to car, Minor Brogan and me went to hunt this out through the long grass. Nice hide and very very clever..TFTC
Waded through the long dry grass to the cache site and soon spotted the cache container. Very nicely done, thanks!

Took a walk with Old Boots & Rosie through long grass to reach GZ. Easier than expected. Shame about the rubbish under the trees. TFTC
as i saw this one i went whaaat?! a great cache in a great location. recogniseD the container. i wonder how old the sign is?
Nice one!!! I came across a similar hide in Sydney not so long ago and it gave me quite a start. This one was just as good. TFTC, Biggles.
Great cache thanks for making us think about what sort of caches we would like to start hiding once we have a bit more experience.
How did hubby and I miss it the first time? This time I approached from a different direction and there it was.
A cunning hide! Not what I expected though. Thanks LGM for another well themed hide.
Quick find, well camouflaged. Made Mr C jump when he first saw it (that instance before you realise you have found another Little G's container). Nice that football has finished, it means we get a sleep-in and caching . TFTC, TNLN.
Amazing were you find mugles in the middle of the night, so quietly sneaked off to try again next time in the city.
Poop!
All the satellites were over the hill and we went around in circles.
As always - will try again.
