This was the first of the caches given that I'd qualified and after some breaky across the road, it was off to GZ for a nice quick find at 10:40. TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks funkymunkyzone.

Having just spent 2 months over in Europe, I finally managed to obtain the last country I needed to qualify for this cache.Today was my drive back to Ohau from Auckland where I've just spent a week trying to get my jetlag sorted as well as recover from the tiredness that such a big trip instills in me. But before I go I wanted to come over and grab this cache (and it's bigger brother).No problems making my way to GZ where the cache itself was a quick find. All is well here, and the log was soon sporting a new name on it before the whole thing was re-hidden as found.Thanks for the interesting challenge.[TwigNZ](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=TwigNZ) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC32AZX/19659 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.I have found required number of caches (1) in each of 5 countries (required number of countries: 5).Finds in required countries are listed here:**New Zealand** [Manawatu rail: Weraroa (GC4AGF1)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=693054179) | 2017-06-09 | 2013-04-23**United Kingdom** [All Blacks' Airport Challenge (GC7F35D)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=768495150) | 2018-05-18 | 2018-01-07**United States** [Los Angeles International Airport (GC7B8X6)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=1141138953) | 2022-12-11 | 2017-09-10**Spain** [Grace Kelly en Sevilla (GC9P70B)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=1143316910) | 2022-12-30 | 2022-07-19**Portugal** [SweetCam (GCPJQV)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=1243971191) | 2024-07-03 | 2005-07-04

1260 for the tribeG'day from across the ditch! The tribe are on a caching adventure in Auckland for a few days targetting our DT grid, some very old caches and some very favorited caches and of course enjoying the beauty of New Zealand Thanks for placing this cache here! Our first physical NZ cache ever, and our first D5.0 / T5.0! As you say its a D1.5 T1.5 but we upped that by finding it in the rain at night! 1/1| Australia Roger, the cabin boy - Traditional (GCGG1W) 2020-07-13 2003-07-20Our first Geocache ever, in a nature reserve in Canberra. In some senses nothing special, tupperware under a rock. In other senses very special!2/1| MalaysiaBerjaya Times Square - Traditional Geocache(GC7N30N 2023-03-10 2018-04-15First overseas physical cache. Caching in Kuala Lumpur is good fun - there are quite a few on offer. It's generally fairly safe as a rule ane there is quite an active community of cachers there. We used caching as a method for seeing tourist attractions!3/1| United States Pingy Head South (Central Fla's 1st GeoCache!!!) Multi-cache (GC15FF) 2023-06-12 2001-08-12Being in the Florida area sought out old caches along with a Webcam in Winter Park. This oldie was in the Mead botanical garden, an area rich in history, squirrels, lizards and plants! 4/1| South Africa Berg en Dal (GC86T49)- Earthcache 2023-12-20 2019-04-23We didnt stop for many traditionals in South Africa. Reading the cache logs there were examples of caching not being the safest thing to do! We did explore a few Earth caches and Virtuals though and logged photo proof of them all. This one was in Kruger National Park. A privelege to visit for sure. Thanks for placing this challenge!

Mit 37 Geocachern, aus Deutschland, Dnemark, Luxemburg und der Schweiz, ging es auf groe Reise. Drei Wochen nach Australien und Neuseeland, beginnend mit einem Zwischenstopp in Doha in Katar. So lange und so weit weg von zu Hause war ich noch nie. Eine aufregende Zeit.Beim Geocaching lag der Focus auf viele unterschiedliche Cachetypen, aber auch besondere Wertungen, Challenges und besonders ein paar sehr alte Caches aus den Jahren 2000 und 2001. Aber auch natrlich ganz besonders die Geocaches, die zu Fu vom Hotel aus gut erreichbar waren.Natrlich wurde stand aber nicht nur das Geocaching im Mittelpunkt, sondern auch die Sehenswrdigkeiten der einzelnen Stationen, die wir besuchten, verdienten ihre Aufmerksamkeit.In die Logbcher trugen wir uns meistens mit unserem Teamnamen "Downunder 2024" ein, Logbuchplatz sparend und effizient.Es war eine ganz besondere Reise im groen Team, das auch sehr viel Spa gemacht hat.Aufgrund der Vielzahl der Caches reicht es berwiegend nur zu einem Einheitslog, fr den ich mich bei den unterschiedlichen Ownern hiermit schon mal entschuldigen mchte.Challenges mag ich ja besonders gerne. Und wenn ich sie dann auch noch erflle, noch mehr. Diese Challenge erflle ich wie folgt und einen Logbeweis fge ich an.Danke fr diesen Geocache. Danke fr die Ausarbeitung. Danke fr diese Herausforderung.Lieber Gru aus Duisburg / DeutschlandAndyDieser Logeintrag wird mit Hilfe von Google bersetzt.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[AndyausDU](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=AndyausDU) hat [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC32AZX/19659 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") verwendet, um zu prfen, ob er/sie diese Challenge erfllt und er/sie hat es geschafft.I have found required number of caches (1) in each of 108 countries (required number of countries: 5).Finds in required countries are listed here:**Germany** [Dickelsbach (GC2HB4W)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=247008509) | 2012-07-06 | 2010-10-26**Denmark** [Liebestempel (GC1G44E)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=266859546) | 2012-09-17 | 2008-09-08**Sweden** [Welcome to Sweden cache, south (GCYK30)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=267027993) | 2012-09-18 | 2006-09-30**France** [C.O. #2: Paris - Colmar la marche (GC2WKT8)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=315941347) | 2013-05-20 | 2014-08-30**Austria** [Therme amad (GC315TC)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=325029485) | 2013-06-26 | 2011-07-30__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We set off on a long journey with 37 geocachers from Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Three weeks to Australia and New Zealand, starting with a stopover in Doha, Qatar. I have never been so long and so far away from home. An exciting time.When geocaching, the focus was on many different cache types, but also special ratings, challenges and especially a few very old caches from the years 2000 and 2001. But also, of course, especially the geocaches that were easily accessible on foot from the hotel.Of course, the focus wasn't just on geocaching; the sights of the individual stations we visited also deserved attention.We usually entered our team name Downunder 2024 in the logbooks, saving logbook space and efficiently.It was a very special trip in a large team, which was also a lot of fun.Due to the large number of caches, there is usually only one standard log, for which I would like to apologize to the different owners.I particularly like challenges. And if I fulfill them, even more. I complete this challenge as follows and I attach log evidence.Thanks for this geocache. Thanks for the elaboration. Thank you for this challenge.Kind regards from Duisburg / GermanyAndyThis log entry is translated with the help of Google.

First day in Neuseeland ??. This is my first visit to this extraordinary country and the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream. In the past, it always failed due to the lack of a travel companion. Now I had the chance to join a large group of mainly German geocachers and I was delighted to take it. After a stopover in Qatar and 8 days in Australia, we landed in Auckland late in the evening. Today was packed with lots of places to see and caches we really wanted to do.Some of the team had rented a car for the day to go to some special caches. Another part of the team was at this cache and labeled the logbook with our team abbreviation DownUnder24 to save space. Now my proof that I have completed the task:[penalty96](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=penalty96) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC32AZX/19659 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.I have found required number of caches (1) in each of 42 countries (required number of countries: 5).Finds in required countries are listed here:**Spain** [Rock Window of Portocolom (GC535RN)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=455441630) | 2014-10-12 | 2014-04-14**Germany** [Glatteis am PO9 (GC3EYXK)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=456669397) | 2014-10-25 | 2012-03-15**United States** [WSQ Hosmer Cemetery (GC23H87)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=483865907) | 2015-03-16 | 2010-01-30**Denmark** [I feel the need ... the need for speed (CPH) (GC3HR4A)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=590778509) | 2016-04-11 | 2012-06-30**Czechia** [SKOTACIVY MOST (GC32TQ9)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=598766789) | 2016-05-08 | 2011-08-23**Poland** [Barnim's Sword 15 (GC5RFNG)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=641424013) | 2016-10-02 | 2015-04-12**Brazil** [Aerocache II (GC49V84)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=667969605) | 2017-02-21 | 2013-04-13**Argentina** [Cataratas del Iguaz - Sendero Verde / Green Trail (GC4TAVX)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=668922559) | 2017-02-25 | 2013-11-17**Paraguay** [Paraguay primera Wherigo!/Paraguays first Wherigo!

Fr mich ist es der erste Besuch dieses auergewhnlichen Landes und die Erfllung eines lang gehegten Traums. Es scheiterte in der Vergangenheit immer an einem fehlenden Reisebegleiter. Jetzt gab es die Chance mich einer groen Gruppe von berwiegend deutschen Geocachern anzuschlieen und ich ergriff sie mit Freuden. Nach einem Stop over in Katar und 8 Tagen in Australien landeten wir spt abends in Auckland. Heute war unser Tag gleich vollgestopft mit vielen Orten, die wir sehen und Caches, die wir unbedingt machen wollten.Fr den Tag hatte sich ein Teil des Teams ein Auto gemietet, um einige spezielle Caches anzusteuern. An diesem Cache war ein anderer Teil des Teams und hat das Logbuch platzsparend mit unserem Teamkrzel DownUnder24 beschriftet. Jetzt noch mein Nachweis, dass ich die Aufgabe erflle:Siehe oben ??. Danke fr das Legen & Pflegen .

A group of 38 geocachers from Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and Switzerland - Team Downunder24 - are traveling for 22 days from Frankfurt/Main via Doha to Australia and New Zealand. I was able to discover many wonderful things and irretrievable experiences are burned into my memory. Today biggidag and I had a whole day free in Auckland. We start at the Skytower in the morning and got a great overview of the city on the water. We then took the Uber to various points around Auckland that were of interest to us. In the early afternoon we treated ourselves to fine food at the harbor and then walked back to our hotel in the city, where another event took place at the end of the day.Thanks to funkymunkyzone for the cache, luring and caring for it - kind regards from Switzerland

On my journey through New Zealand I passed many beautiful places. It is very impressive. Thank you very much. Greetings from Germany, muschel3

Wir haben in den Logbchern platzsparend mit DownUnder2024 geloggt. Vielen Dank frs Hegen und Pflegen dieses Caches. Greetings from Germany/Luxembourg

Auf unserer heutigen Tour durch Auckland, konnten wir einige Caches besuchen mit Virtuellen, Tradis und Mysteries, die dann aus Platzmangel mit Downunder24 beantwortet und geloggt wurden.TFTC sagt keeiner

Found this cache on a 24-day trip to Australia and New Zealand with a night of stopover in Qatar.In Qatar we have an evening and almost a full day of geocaching before we take the long flight to Downunder.In Australia we will visit the citys of Sydney, Melbourne, Aidelaide and Cairns. Our stays in New Zealand will be in Aukland, Rotorua, Wellington, Blenheim, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.For me the focus will be on old caches, placed in 2000 and obviously on the remaining webcams in Australia and New Zealand.We are a group of 38 Geocachers from Germany, Denmark and Luxembourg. At geocaches that we visit as a group, we sign the logbooks with our team-name "Team DownUnder24" to safe the owners a lot of space in the logbooks.After a short break around lunchtime we took public transport to a spot a bit outside the city center, for some challenge caches and some caches around the Stadium and the Cornwall Park. So as a central european this challenge is more or less easy mode... Merci frs Dosal sogt da GoanToni Thanks to funkymunkyzone for hiding and maintaining this geocache.

Together with 36 other geocachers, the KiSt team undertook a very long trip to Australia ???? and New Zealand ???? for three weeks. On both the outward and return journeys, there was a stopover in Doha, the capital of Qatar ????.We experienced a great deal on this trip and gained many very different impressions of the two countries, their nature and their culture. Of course, the main focus was on visiting as many caches of as many different types as possible and also all accessible old cans. However, we also made sure to visit many special places of interest and to gain as comprehensive an impression as possible of nature and its flora and fauna.To save the logbooks, we usually signed in with our team name **Downunder24**. For "special" cans, however, we have not missed the opportunity to leave our nickname as well.This beautiful cache is now also one of our finds.Due to the large number of caches visited, it is unfortunately not possible for us to write an individual log for each can, which is why we would like to apologize to the owners for this collective log.We also met other cachers at some of the events and were able to share our experiences. Many thanks to the event owners!Of course we would like to thank all the owners for showing us the great locations, the sometimes tricky puzzles, exciting multis and wherigos, as well as the interesting virtuals and earth caches - TFTC!!!---In der Besetzung KiSt unternahmen wir zusammen mit 36 weiteren Geocachern fr drei Wochen eine sehr weite Reise nach Australien ???? und Neuseeland ????.

Natrlich lag ein Hauptaugenmerk darauf, mglichst viele Caches mglichst vieler unterschiedlicher Typen und auch alle erreichbaren alten Dosen zu besuchen. Darber haben wir es aber nicht versumt, vielen besonderen Sehenswrdigkeiten einen Besuch abzustatten und uns von der Natur und deren Flora und Fauna einen mglichst umfassenden Eindruck zu verschaffen.Um die Logbcher zu schonen, haben wir uns dort meist mit unserem Teamnamen **Downunder24** eingetragen. Bei "besonderen" Dosen haben wir es uns aber auch nicht nehmen lassen, zustzlich unseren Nicknamen zu hinterlassen.Auch dieser schne Cache zhlt jetzt zu unseren Funden.Aufgrund der groen Anzahl der besuchten Caches ist es uns leider nicht mglich, zu jeder Dose einen individuellen Log zu verfassen, weshalb wir uns bei den Ownern fr diesen Sammellog entschuldigen wollen.Auf einigen Events haben wir auch andere Cacher kennengelernt und konnten unsere Erfahrungen austauschen. Vielen Dank an die Event-Owner!Natrlich wollen wir uns bei allen Ownern fr das Zeigen der tollen Orte, die teils kniffligen Rtsel, spannenden Multis und Wherigos, sowie die interessanten Virtuals und Earthcaches bedanken - TFTC!!

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 74 - Rotorua, Bay of Plenty - Auckland, Auckland, North Island, Nov Zland (autem asi 250 km)Od rna bylo absolutne odporne - edo a cel den dt. Nahzela jsem ve do auta a vyjela smer Auckland. Cestou jsem zastavila jen u pr keek, vdy kdy prelo mne. Asi 25 km pred Aucklandem jsem odbocila do vsi a pol a celkem dobrodrune bez navigace si odlovila nejak challenge. M autonavigace stvkuje a chce propojit s poctacem, na co jsem vcera samozrejme zapomela. Snad to zvldnu dnes, neb Auckland je dost velk mesto a tak nen snadn neco hledat jen s malou GPS, kde nejsou silnice a ulice. I pres to jsem nejak po cuchu nala 2 challenge 5/5 na hlavnm tahu. Sice to byly magnety na svodidlech, ale dostat se k nim na 4proud silnici bez chodnku bylo fakt T5. A jete ke vemu prve desne lilo. Tak jsem klickovala na krajnici s detnkem a vypadala jak sebevrah. Vdy, kdy byl na krajnici strom s vetvemi a do silnice, musela jsem vychnout okamik, kdy nejelo auto, a ten kousek prebehnout po silnici. Uf, byl to zhul, ale zvldla jsem to bez srky s autem a do svho auta se vrtila kompletne promocen, teda boty a kalhoty. Pak u jsem jen zadala souradky vily, kde dnes a ztra spm, a zcela intuitivne jela, a jsem dojela do takov mstn Jirskovy ctvrti pln peknch vil a nala i tu svoji. Majitel je zvltn, ale pokoj obrovsk a pekn. V kuchyni m teda bordel vet ne j doma, ale uklzet mu to nebudu. Pret m bohuel i ztra, tak to se se mnou Zland nelouc nejlpe, ale co nadelm. Do mesta se podvat zajedu a pak se uvid.It was nasty and raining all day. I set off in the direction of Auckland and found only a few drive-in caches along the way when the rain eased a bit. Before Auckland, I drove around a few challenges on side roads and then adventurously hunted a 2 5/5 challenge in the city on a busy 4-lane road without sidewalks. It was a bit of a struggle, but I made it. Then I had my own challenge to find the street with the villa where I sleep without car navigation, but I managed to do that after a bit of wandering. I was as wet as a water sprite. Thanks to everyone for their caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.I found caches on 6 continents - Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania.And found caches in 72 countries on the world.

New try, we found the way!!!As a once in a lifetime holiday, this year we are traveling for 7 weeks to Vietnam, Bali, Australia and New Zealand. In Australia we meet Ellen Sch and MrVon sr and Ingsve to visit these last two countries, so here we cache together. We signed the log with N4. Now we have solved many caches so we have a large number of solved coordinates. But we are interested in all types of caches, so if you receive a log, it means that we have visited your cache. We haven't quite decided where we're going, but we'll probably let the weather decide for us. We want warmth because in Norway it is now freezing. We will stay for about 2 weeks in Australia and 2 weeks in New Zealand and we will end the trip with the Mega event in Adeleide on 29 February. So thank you very much to all of you who make it possible for us to travel around finding caches. On March 6, we set course for Norway again. There are extremely nice people everywhere and we are welcomed, we thank you very much. Thanks to our cache friends for good company on the trip.Som en gang i livets ferie reiser vi i r 7 uker til Vietnam, Bali, Australia og New Zealand. I australia mter vi Ellen Sch og MrVon sr og Ingsve for beske disse to siste landene, s her cacher vi sammen. N har vi lst mange cacher s vi har et stort antall med lste koordinater. Men vi er jo inntressert i alle typer cacher s hvis du mottar en logg s betyr det at vi har beskt cachen din. Vi har ikke bestemt oss helt hvor vi reiser men vi lar nok vret bestemme for oss. Vi nsker oss varme for i Norge er det n kuldegrader. Vi blir ca 2 uker i Australia og 2 uker p New Zealand og vi avslutter turen med Megaeventet i Adeleide den 29 februar. S tusen takk til alle dere som gjr det mulig for oss reise rundt finne cacher. 6 mars setter vi kursen mot Norge igjen. Det er srdeles hyggelige mennesker overalt og vi nskes velkommen, vi takker s mye. Takk til vre cachevenner for godt selskap p turenTeam Eika oppfyller utfordringen International Cacher Challenge (Auckland) (GC32AZX) iflge https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC32AZX/19659

I have been caching in Europa, Asia, Afrika, Amerika, Australia and visited 36 landEndelig har jeg og MrVon sr kommet oss ned til Australia og New Zealand, -en gammel drm er gtt i oppfyllelse. Team Eika og Ingsve har ogs reist i flge med oss p denne turen. Vi har reist p kryss og tvers i en mned, og mlet er ende opp i Adeleide og megaevent p skuddrsdagen. Vi har spesielt sett etter gamle cacher, for fylle jasmern, for et par stykker, og for oss to andre som har begynt tenke p gjennomgang to.De aller fleste dukket greit frem p plassene sine,noen ganger mtte vi lete litt, men var som regel heldige tilslutt. Noen DNFer ogs ble det ogs.????Vi har for det meste logget med fellesnicket N4 (ingsve,Von sr. TeamEika og Ellen Sch) men ogs egne nicknavn er brukt.En stor takk til alle dere COer for utlegg og vedlikehold av cachene deres. Uten deres arbeid, hadde vi aldri kunnet kost oss med denne hobbyen.Alltid hyggelig med et nytt smilefjes p kartet.????Cachehilsen fra Ellen Sch, Norge????????????Me and MrVon sr have come down to Australia and New Zealand, -an old dream has finally come to an end. Team Eika and Ingsve have also traveled with us on this trip.We have been traveling cross-country for a month, and the goal is to end up in Adeleide and mega-event on the leap year. We have especially looked for old caches, to fill jasmer'n, for a couple of pieces, and for the other two of us who have started to think about reviewing more.The vast majority of them showed up at their places, sometimes we had to search a bit, but we were usually lucky in the end. There were also some DNFs.????We have mostly logged in with the common nickname N4 (ingsve, Von sr. TeamEika and Ellen Sch), but our own nicknames are also used.A big thank you to all you CO's for laying out and maintaining your caches. Without their work, we would never have been able to make a living with this hobby.Always nice to have a new smiley face on the map.????Cache greetings from Ellen Sch, Norway????????????

Pre-Foo Fighters concert. I love a good challenge. Thanks.

As I was passing by today, so I took the opportunity to sign in. I still have a ways to go to complete this challenge cache, hence the write note. I will have to plug away at it. TBs dipped in. Cheers, Lostcourse.

Having a look at some of the mystery caches around Auckland and usually ignore this one due to the difficulty rating but as we read some more realised we actually qualified. We have found caches in the UK, Australia, America and Singapore. Once we managed to find a nearby parking space it was just as quick stroll up the road and the cache was found in the place we had expected. Happy New Year. Hoping to add many more countries to our caching profile.

yeah , I love challenges and this was an easy one for me at my first stay in New Zealand.Just park on christmas at the fabrik parking space nearby and walk up the hill to find it. Tftc from macajo and a favour point extra

Loving our trip to NZ. Today we visited Hobbiton, which was even better than we had hoped, and ended up in Auckland with a view so beautiful from our hotel room that after we walked the city a bit, we just ordered room service and enjoyed the view. Hello from Celebration, FL. We parked safely and then walked up the side of the road (somewhat non-safely) to GZ. Our public stats show that NZ is country number 69 for us. Hopefully Australia will be #70 tomorrow! SL. TFT?!

I currently have found geocaches in 8 countries:AustraliaJapanNetherlandsNew ZealandSingaporeSwedenUnited KingdomUnited StatesI expect to add at least another 3 before the end of the year! TFTC.

Only noticed this Challenge cache very recently....and I am really pleased to find I qualify!
I checked with Project GC.
I really enjoy travelling and caching overseas....and hope to get to even more countries in the future.

We've been to 9 countries now, including New Zealand where we are now tftc. Stats available

I saw this one had popped up as qualified on my Project GC - my recent short break in Bali was the last country I needed to finally be able to secure the smiley.

I've cached in a good handful of countries now, with my first being alongside a church, at night, in Slovenia in February 2016.
It was Sv. Martin - bled (gc259te) in the northern town of Bled. A beautiful and picturesque little village set alongside a memorable lake.
I found it on the 22/2/16 late in the night. I've found three caches in Slovenia.
Franz Marc #1 @ Munich_ART #90 (gc3hyp4) is a traditional i found a week or so later when i caught a train over to Munich (Munchen), in Bavaria/Germany. Right in the city i found it on 1/3/16 and it was my fifth cache find. I've since found 29 caches in Germany.
el laberinto de maiz (gc15rgx) is a traditional i found in heavy fog with my newfound hungarian friend while walking the camino de santiago. I led him on a random sidemission hunting it down in fields away from the trail. This was in Northern Spain on the 13/11/16. I've found 37 caches in Spain.
kalaja e Petrelës (gc4hdvn) is another traditional at a crumbling castle a short bus ride south of Tirana, the capital of Albania. My mate and i hopped a local bus south on the 30/10/19 to find this geocache. I love how this hobby consistently takes me to amazing and little known places. I've found 28 caches in Albania.
I've attached two photo's, one is the crumbling castle in albania taken the day we were there and the other gz for the cache found in spain.
Thank you funkymunkyzone for creating this cool challenge.
This cache is also my fifth five five.

I was in Auckland last weekend and signed this log. I have checked and now qualify. A fp for my first D5/T5 cache. I’ve been doing a bit of travelling recently, joining my husband who has been attending conferences in Denmark and Greece so great opportunities for geocaching. I even met a fellow geocacher from the UK in Athens this month. Tftc

I’m in Auckland for a few days meeting my new grandson. We went for a walk with 3 yo No. 1 grandson on Hamlins Hill and this was nearby so had to sign as I don’t have any D5/T5 caches yet. I will see if I qualify.
Being a Saturday afternoon, it was not too busy so parked in a nearby factory car park and walked to gz where the cache was found quickly and signed.

My four qualifying countries whilst on a Baltic / North Sea cruise a few years back include the following countries:

- Germany
- Finland
- Sweden
- Denmark
- Greenland
- Iceland
- Estonia

Many good memories with this trip and a FP for the reminder of better times, thanks FMZ.

Day 1: We ( TeamARF, Gcoven and myself) arrived in the very early of this morning. Had the dramas with our rental car but eventually we got it all sorted and we drove off to our accommodation nearby for a few hours sleep before we start the real trip.

Today the plan is to just pick up a few things randomly around our accommodation. We have a gigantic list of old, interesting, highly favourited and a few Geo-arts to try and collect over the next 10 days. There is a good chance we got lazy with our logging and do some joint variation of our initials - TGJ, GJT or JGT.

Please excuse the generic log, just have extremely little data to try and survive on it for the 10 days. However, you can be assured that if we have found your cache it was special to us for some reason or in a special location - so thank you for contributing to our holiday.

I will edit logs when back in Brisbane to add more details to those that need more details and of course I will be adding favourite points as I go along.

Log signed - will check for qualifications once home.

Our first day in the land of the long white cloud. TeamARF JACSTeam and myself heading on an adventure! Much fun had today . Thanks for the amazing array of caches will check on this once home

Today we are in the area of Auckland. We also visited this Challenge Cache, found it, and signed the logbook.

Of course we fulfil this challenge with 49 countries, and 6 continents, and attaches a picture.

Thanks for the fun challenge!
Greeting from BC, .

spent 6 great weeks in New Zealand with my ?? The start was a bit bumpy (Cyclone Gabrielle) but then it got better and better. We travelled to both islands and discovered a lot. We photographed and filmed many beautiful things, but most of it stayed in our hearts.Almost everywhere we stopped, a cache was already waiting for us. Most of the caches are well maintained and easy to find.With mostly very nice weather, we saw a lot of this impressive island. In many places, caches were waiting for us, which were sometimes easy and sometimes difficult to find. This cache was also included and was successfully signedWe puzzled a lot in advance and the tours ?? were well prepared So this box was also well found.now I have another on my personal cache card.many thanks to [^] **funkymunkyzone** [^] for the effort and the cacheTFTF**Geistercacher*****evidenceI have found required number of caches (1) in each of 62 countries (required number of countries: 10).Finds in required countries are listed here:**Germany** [Der witzige Cache (GC1KKKY)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=83789127) | 2009-09-09 | 2009-01-18**France** [La puissance de la nature (GC224MV)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=120814962) | 2010-07-25 | 2009-12-20**Austria** [Esperanto (GCXQPT)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=124869436) | 2010-09-01 | 2006-08-15**Italy** [Val de Mesdi (GC158M1)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=126728564) | 2010-09-10 | 2007-08-17**Luxembourg** [A short break at Bech-Maacher (GC1GY0W)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=137677581) | 2010-11-30 | 2008-10-05**Romania** [Biserica Rusa - Russian Church (GC1M7YZ)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=142730393) | 2011-01-27 | 2009-01-31**Spain** [El Canyaret (GC1YH7T)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=144107884) | 2011-02-07 | 2009-09-11**Switzerland** [Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall (TB-Hotel) (GC2CMNG)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=186257067) | 2011-09-12 | 2010-11-13**Belgium** [Walk of Train - Spannung (GC379MD)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=201185902) | 2011-11-27 | 2011-11-06**Netherlands** [Werken met wind en water (2) (GC1Z7VZ)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=234748576) | 2012-05-17 | 2009-10-04**Argentina** [El corazn de San Telmo (GC3MM0D)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=280555678) | 2012-11-16 | 2012-05-31**Brazil** [Igreja Ortodoxa em Moema - Moeman ortodoksinen kir (GC3DW7K)](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?lid=281083113) | 2012-11-23 | 2012-02-20....

More and more countries are now opening up for traveling. I took the opportunity to make a short trip. To visit some places, I’ve been visiting a long time ago. To see if anything has changed but also to find some caches. Maybe also meet some fellow geocachers. You see, the world consists of two kinds of people: Your friends, and the ones you haven’t met yet. And I was lucky to extend my list of friends during my trip.

After a couple of days in various places in Australia, I just popped over to New Zealand. It’s just a short jump after the long trip from Europe to Australia. Unfortunately, it’s just a short stop in Auckland this time. It’s winter here and I don’t want to be stuck in snow…

It has been a lovely stop and I met lots of new friends. I especially want to thank Gorbygorbachov for taking me around in his car, making it easier for me to reach some interesting caches outside the city center of Auckland.

One of the excursions that were made with Gorby was out here. This Challenge I fulfill. I have found caches in over 35 countries.

I have found caches in 6 countries, so I definitely qualify for this challenge.

Last five countries (other than NZ) were Germany, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and Australia.

My stats are all public. They say:

You have cached in 6 countries:
New Zealand 1444
Germany 23
Netherlands 1
Singapore 1
France 1
Australia 1

I do not remember all the details, but these I do remember:

Bridge, GC73Z9B, 15.07.2018, Netherlands
Die Buehlweg-Kirche Maria zur Ruh, GC2BKX3, 07.12.2018, Germany
Butterfly garden GC1HA96, 11.09.2019, Singapore

Found with phronimos signed and got back home to write the countries spend sometime in Norway so had to include one of my favorites all though I did on and earlier visit, had 12 country's to choose from so will start looking at your other Challenge thanks funkymunkyzone

When researching geocaches I’d solved and Challenges met in preparation for the Auckland Mega, I found this one. I will never qualify in the new coronavirus era of restricted international travel, but my road-trip companions Juty Bug & Sueparr2 do.
So it was they found and signed off this one. I didn’t even bother, although I did find it.
With 15 countries and counting their only limitation is the four continents rule precluding them from achieving GC32B01 International Cacher Extreme Challenge. As I say, I personally will never achieve either (unless I play - and win - Lotto) and travel returns to the old normal.

I found this challenge a while ago, but have only just made it up to Auckland to pick it up. Below are the qualifying caches:
AUSTRALIA – Not the Harbour Bridge GC2VZ2D found 6/6/14
SAMOA – Lemafa Pass GC5B30G found 8/6/17
SOLOMON ISLANDS – Solomon Islands: The Hidden Volcano of Savo GC6QT16 found 10/6/17 (found earlier, logged on 10/6/17) – this is an earth cache but photographic evidence was supplied
FIJI – F1J1 ‘Gold’ (Musket Cove, Fiji) GC2C0VE found 17/10/19
Another enjoyable challenge from this CO, TFTC

This cache and its sibling were on the list for yesterday but I realised part way through that list that if I changed things round and was careful then either one or the other would be a milestone find. So that's what I did. My sister currently lives in Switzerland and before that Berlin so I have been very lucky to travel to Europe and see her several times so the trickiest part of this challenge was to choose countries I'd not previously visited prior to the publishing date.

Czechia GC3CQD7 ML - Kaplicka Lasky - found 12/4/17
Slovakia GC32EM9 Stretneme sa pod mostom/We'll meet under the bridge - found 17/4/17
Hungary GC20JKA Przemysl - found 22/4/17
United States GC6ZTRB Got Stuck Beyond Route 66 - found 22/1/19

Thanks for the memories. TFTC # 17,000

We’ve been visiting relatives in Auckland and now heading home. After Mrs Rubbishparty had had some retail therapy at Sylvia Park we came to collect this cache. Have been fortunate to have travelled to many countries and lived part of my early childhood in Morocco. Have enjoyed revisiting and taking the grownup children with me.

Qualifying caches:
GCC737 Plantman Geocache #17 (Australia) 12/4/19
GC44UV3 One Good Read (Mexico) 27/10/19
GC2Z5C8 Marrakech (Morocco) 5/7/16
GC5A7DW Trafalgar Square (England) 20/8/16

#19538. Bought a couple of drinks from McDonalds to justify a quick stop in their car park. Didn't have much trouble getting across the road and back, and signing a couple of logs: one that we qualify for (this one) and one we are yet to qualify for. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on our last full day in Auckland as tomorrow, after dropping our son off at the airport, we start heading southward.
We weren't sure about the parking options, so parked in the Mackers across the road, had a cold drink / ice cream there then ducked across this busy road where the cache was a QEF. Now to head for base and a reviving cup of coffee.

Found this one heading back to Sylvia Park after grabbing the International Extreme Cacher. I have qualified for this cache for a while, but never made it to the area. Today I decided to make a specific effort to go out and grab these caches, and logging both of these caches has given me a great trip down memory lane.

Qualifying caches for this challenge.
GC33H25 - Have a Break - Australia
GC2NFF1 - Floating Mosque - Malaysia
GC6H74T - The Long Alley - Thailand

Thank you for the challenge cache. It has been fun and feels like a real achievement to log this one. #965

Walked along here and soon had log signed. I will add the relevant info shortly and then update log. TFTC.

I definitely qualify for this one!

Last four countries were USA, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. But I’ve caches in over 30 countries.

My stats are all public.


This is cache 4/8 today for a challenge cache! (8x38 Challenge (GC4N2RV)).

ok so i don't qualify yet, but i might one day, couldn't resist finding the cache just incase

With a milk shake in hand we walked also here, not the nices place for a cache, but an interesting challenge and DT .

Here we first didn´tfind anything but after a second check at one of the first places checked it was there now...

I like this kind of challenges and we have used geocaching as guide in many of the places we traveled the last 10+ years. So now it was easy to solve this challenge. 31 countries when logging this and now 32 (adding 2 days in Australia on the way back home to Sweden.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Finally our trip to New Zealand is real! We started with half a day in Singapore and then we continued to New Zealand before finalizing the trip with 2 days in Sydney.

We have been able to see a lot, fantastic nature, many different and new birds and also a "few" geocaches.

Thanks a lot for the cache - Greetings from Sweden!

The logbook was almost full.

Visited on my Christmas holiday trip. This was my second find and first physical cache found in New Zealand. When I researched the Auckland area for caches, these two International Cacher Challenges immediately caught my attention, as they are rated D5/T5 and I qualify for both of them, with finds in 64 countries on five continents. So, the first thing to do after taking the bus from the airport to the city, checking in at the hotel and taking a shower was to get an AT HOP card, catch a bus to Newmarket, a train to Penrose and then walk the rest of the way here. Finding the cache was easy, but the GZ looks like it really needs some kind of CITO-like activity. My challenge completion:

I don't have any old geocaching photos with me in NZ, but the small blurbs as requested:

**Finland**

My home country, and the country where I started geocaching with 7000+ finds so far. We have lots of challenge caches, nowadays lots of powertrails, and, after the Virtual Rewards programmes, lots of virtual caches (only four active and two archived virtuals when I started). We have lots of caches placed in the forests outside the towns, and I like visiting those caches the most. In the winter geocaching can be challenging because of the snow, especially in the northern part of the country.

**United Kingdom**

My second geocaching country, with 232 finds so far. One of my favourite countries in the world, with lots of old caches, including around two hundred old, original series virtual caches still remaining, and lots of interesting cache series, such as the LQ challenge (haven't started it yet and probably will never complete it anyway) and the Sidetracked series. I have visited the country several times, mostly on other business than geocaching, and travelled around most of the country, unfortunately in 2010-2011, just before I started geocaching.

**Netherlands**

My third geocaching country, where I worked for half a year, unfortunately a year *before* I started geocaching. I have visited the NL only a few times after starting geocaching and should go there again in the near future. There is a good selection of geocaches of various types, including rather old caches in the NL.

**Estonia**

My fourth geocaching country. I have visited the Estonian capital, Tallinn, several times and found most of the city centre caches accessible on foot there, as the city is only a three-hour ferry trip away from Helsinki, the Finnish capital where I live. Earlier there were not that many caches of other types than traditionals available in Estonia, but the situation is nowadays somewhat better.

**Germany**

My fifth geocaching country. I have visited Germany several times, thrice just because of geocaching and a few times on a layover while travelling to other countries. Germany has one of the best geocache selections in Europe, including lots of very old, still active caches suitable for the Jasmer Challenge, including virtuals and webcams.

Many thanks for the challenge cache and greetings from Finland!

TB stamp in.

Found and signed this morning. I do qualify and will sent the proof later.

We came by here in rush hour a couple of days ago and couldn’t see anywhere to park. I messaged the CO who advised us to come at a quiet a time and use McDonald’s. We were able to cross the road, and although we failed to get the challenge cache further up the road this one had only one place and we had our hands on it straight away. My second 5/5 cache ever. Thanks for the placement. Not sure I’d ever have stopped here had it not been for Geocaching!
And we went back and found the other one too. And popped into McD!!!

Together with TEMBO! I had a really interesting geocaching-trip today. We could find some geocaches, met some locals and had a great talk to them.
Concerning this geocache I want to say thanks because we had much fun in searching and finding this geocache! The cache made our trip even more interesting!
TFTC!

P.S.: At the moment I have found geocaches in 74 countries on four continents
