Archiving this series to allow others to place caches which are less likely to be muggled.
Finally got all the co-ordinates after finding the final in the series. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
Got the final piece of the puzzle, quick fossick and pleased to get the smiley. Found with debsnz
Day 5 on our 6 day caching trip to Dunedin for the NZ MEGA 2012 event with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ozibags, ghostgums and MrMeccano. Once again we hit the road reasonably early with a plan. The day started off spent around Saint Clair, St Kilda, South Dunedin, Kensington, Mosgiel, and Caversham.
Sorry about the bulk log but I am never going to catch up at this rate.
TFTC and puzzle, tunfisk!

Well we couldn't find one of the caches, which proved a little problematic, but with some intuition we managed to come up with a reasonable guess that proved fruitful!

Last day for me of Cache Hunting at NZ Mega 21012 with Gunnie69, Ghostgums, Mr Meccano, Ozibags and TheFourBees
We arrived at GZ having DNF's part 1 but with help of Dr Google figure we are in correct spot
Began our hunt & Fourbees & I spotted it simultaneously.
Log was soon labeled with our attendance
We're gone

Thanks tunfisk

We DNF'd the first one in this series but with the rest secured, we performed some magic on google earth and identified a likely spot for the final... [^]
Off to give it a go, we arrived and commenced the hunt. We had not been there long when Kaisho53 and TheFourBees spotted the container at the same time... Aha, that'll do us...
We added a sticker to the log and tucked the container back. It's handy to be resourceful sometimes...
Found in the company of fellow Queensland hunters Kaisho53, OziBags, TheFourBees, Ghostgums and Mr Meccano.
Cheers tunfisk. Thanks for the series.

We came back today with more time to search and found it almost immediately. We are both very sure it wasnt there when we were searching yesterday so maybe it has imgrated a bit. I must say it looks much nicer in here after our clean up yesterday. Thanks for the series:)
We found this neat cache while on our two weeks Blitz of the South Island for the Mega Event.
Many thanks for the hide.

Out and about on a MEGA cache raid with IndiannaJill and team FMZ. We had gathered all the required information and headed to GZ. Once we found the entrance to GZ we soon found the cache TFTC.
Having just found the first 3 caches in this series, we just had to come up to this one and make the find here too - with rosmar and Indiana Jill. TFTC!!!
This was a very frustrating cache. After having just come from the preceding 3 we were sure we had the coords right but couldnt find the cache. The area was FILLED with rubbish that we picked up for the CITO just before lunch and left without finding the cache so not to miss the CITO. We are staying not too far so we will come back before leaving town when we have more time. TFTC
Nice little spot for a hide. TFTC

Reperio at 2010.
After spending the morning caching around the inner city of Dunedin with Roostaman, we headed away from the chaos of traffic and muggles for the solitude of some scenic countryside caches. Having found the three preliminary caches earlier...it was time to head off and find the final. Being quite dark by the time we got there...it took a bit of searching around until the cache was eventually spotted.
Gratias tunfisk.

Find # 4525 and a total of 78 today with Marcus Vitruvius, on the 4th day of our NZ Mega trip, on the way around the Dunedin area. Another nice quick puzzle cache after bfinding the others and then on the way again. TNLNSL TFTC tunfisk,

9957... Great spot for Tunfisk's Rest, but no rest for us, still a few to get before achieving our goal for the MEGA weekend. Nice to have met you later on that night, TFTC.
Great team caching found the Walks.... That brought us here. Cheers ! Night caching as part of NZMega 2012. Thanks for adding to our fun. Weather's ok afterall.
Another afternoon out with our caching buddies the Walenators having been out to Mega. Working our way around the local area. Found appropriate co ordinates and came to claim the cache. Had read the log book was wet so we signed a nice big piece of paper and added it to the cache so there'd be something dry to sign for the next cacher. TFTC

Found with the Earthbounds on a great Mega caching day in NZ. An easy find on a cold afternoon. TFTH...SL...TNLN
The log was too wet to write on, so I left a pathtag as evidence of our visit. TFTC.
Found it but log too wet to sign with pencil that was in cache sorry. TFTP & C
A night find with Ingidayna luckily she had the final coords.
Must get back to find #2 and 3 of Tunfisks walks.
Quick easy find.

I didn't have this one loaded into the GPS but decided to go for it after finding the other three in the series. A nice quick find at a place that I'm familiar with. TFTC #3233
Co-ords spot on, so a very quick and easy find!!
Good little series of PnG caches

Found this ages ago, when we did the other three walks but didn't realise I could log it until today when I was looking at the question marks and up it popped. Yay am pleased - good set of caches TFTC's
Like the previous finder, I was a NZ Masters Games competitor visiting from the Hutt Valley. This was a nicely put together series although a couple of the caches are difficult to get to when there are muggles about.
Felt quite at home being from Wellington as there was quite a gale blowing!
Thought to myself I will never find an eclipse tin in this lot, I was right because the cache is not one But found the cache after a fairly long search- I think 200 ml is a bit small to be called a "regular?"
There wasn't much in the way of leaf cover, but probably just as well as the hide seems secure and it would definitely raise the difficulty level well above that posted (even now I think it's about a D2, I wonder if the natural cover might be more now than when the cache was planted.)
Was surprised to see this hasn't been found for a while, I suspect the total distance to do the full series and return to the start if necessary might deter any families with very young kids.
But for me having only been to Dunedin briefly many years ago this was a great opportunity to explore the area I am staying in while down for the Masters Games.

Didn't take long to find.
My kids wanted to stay here and play after finding the cache.
Thanks for an enjoyable series.

went in with a rubbish bag to collect the rubbish mentioned below but area nice and clean except a piece of newspaper blown in by the wind - someone must have done a cleanup before me!
Got this one early Christmas morning after doing the rest in the series.
NIce spot for the final. And a bit of a mission to find in there! Hint definitely helped though! It it wasn't for it I'd probably still be searching now! Haha.
TFTC!!
ANd thanks for the fun little series too my little brother! Awesomeness!!

Round and round the bush we went. GPS kept on taking us back to the one shady spot but absolutely no luck finding the container.
GPS seemed very confused about the bearings. (or maybe it was the operator) Not sure that Tunfisk would enjoy resting among the bags of dog faeces and other rubbish in the areas indicated by the bearings.
Got all clues and made way with geohound to the final. Good to get it on such a hot afternoon. Took TB. Had a rest in the shade before moving on. TFTC
Always pleased when a plan comes together, solved and found this cache without bother.
Found the bonus with Rediguana. An easier find than the contributing caches. TFTC
Nice to pick up a little bonus after doing the previous three caches. Cheers Gav [10180]
Good coords, quick find, nice wee container. FTS (First To Sign) the new logbook! Thanks for a great little sequence, nice bike ride this afternoon. Cheers!
Great container! This one took us a few minutes to find in the fading light, but we got there in the end.
Like others I am worried that it might not survive the summer. I hope it does, as it's a neat cache and a nice conclusion to the Tunfisk's Walk series.

Love these containers!!! Placed in a golf ball that was found nearby, looks like someone else had the right idea. Had a bit of trouble rehiding, and as with others bit worried about whether this will survive a summer with kids playing in the area. TFTC
Actually we found this and signed the log on 21/8/2011 but as all the others were traditional, didn't think to look for the ? Always learning! TFTC
Found on a morning stroll before most people were out of bed...
The cache was found easily although I'm not sure that the location will survive a summer where kids will be playing in around this location.
A smaller container (!) or more camouflage may be in order.

Found quickly. Good container. Not very well hidden so covered with twigs/leaves etc. Not sure how long it will last though. TFTC.
Great to find the end of this nice little series. Great container. Like other also suggest more camo needed to protect the caches life. TFTC
[Sadly I have to report that the cache had been muggled between the 25th and today.
I found the log book had been ripped aprt and scattered. The stash still seemed to be intact and the cache container in the middle of the space where it had been hidden.
I gathered it all up, wrote in the log book and left a pencil, then hid it completely from view.] Its covered in twigs and leaves. under the SE tree.[TFTC]

Completed this one as part of the series, container was close to my heart.. I've been wanting to find one of these for ages, but haven't come across any others in yet. I'm hoping to use my connections at 4 O South to get me some of these to hide.
No sign of the GC mentioned below, but it looks like this one has been very very busy over the weekend. I found some unlucky punters lost ball near the cache site, so we popped that into the container. Signed Logbook on 22 August 2011 at 12.20.00
230th Find.

Nice find on a sunny winters afternoon - arrived just after the Palmerston gang had rehidden the cache. Salamat!

Unusual to find such a large container so close to houses. The box was fairly obvious as I walked up as the bright green "Official Geocache" sticker was standing out like a sore toe! Turned the box around so it wasn't as obvious. Hope it survives as I imagine the local kids play in here. TFTC.

How nice to find a decent sized cache- it will be useful for those larger TBs. Left a pen withthe logbook. Left it completely hidden, but not sure whether the hide will be safe from the local kids for very long. Thank you for some drive-by caching on a cold wet day!
TFTC SL a good hide in a good place nobody around today just us thanks for the puzzle cache well done
FTF@0030hrs. Thanks for the fun dash around Tainui on the way from from a quiet evening shift at work. And thanks for turning a multi into four FTFs for me TFTC
Wow, what a good sized cache for town! A great finish for a pleasant drive. Thanks Tunfisk!
