Fantail Fanfare (Gisborne) Okitu, North Island, New Zealand
By SiLiRy on 28-Aug-11. Waypoint GC333X5

Thank you to all the Geocachers who enjoyed this cache. Time to fly the coop......

A great piece of native bush, spotted a few Fantails as well, enjoyed the shade on a very hot day, not sure how we missed it last time, many thanks for the cache.

Felt like I was going on a real adventure for this one. Very creative cache! Found with Tarzann.

nice wee jog up the track to a pretty cool lil cache cheers

Awesome camo

At this fine sunny sommer sunday afternoon we enjoyed the walk through the bush to this magnificant lookout. Unfortunally we met no fantail no tui only one single pigeon. We find the box 'greater then a nano' and we like it very well. All together: one blue tie. Thank you for this amazing cache.

Round anf round haha gotcha and made my mark
Tflc

hahaha this little one got us for a moment. Even if we knew what we were looking for, it took us a while to find it
Thanks for bringing us up here, worth wile the visit. Doggies loved the walk

Wow that was very well done a great challenge. Thank you!

The clue got me there are two unsuccessful circumnavigations. Great view and a tui serenaded me the whole time at GZ.

While in Gisborne for the NI National Daffodil Show, will do some caching with the Seagnoid. Thanks for the cache.

[green] Here with popmac on a geocaching / daffodil trip. Popmac grows daffodils and is taking a bunch to a daffodil tournament thingy in Gisborne with plans to cache along the way, and I came along for the ride.
Heard two or three fantails on the way to the cache, along with other birds i could not identify, but then it turned out that one of the fantails was popmac, behind me, imitating them trying to encourage them to come closer. It didn't work. Cache took a bit of finding, though. Well, actually, I found it early on and ignored it...

Very cool, our favourite cache so far! We tried, didn't find it, sat and looked at the view, tried to be more open minded and then......found it

A quick cache run to check that this cache is all in order. The container is still working but will need to be replaced soon, so please just be gentle with it until I can get a replacement. New log installed waiting to be signed. Cheers SiLiRy

A lovely walk and a clever cache.

Clever wee hiding spot and took a bit of time to find. Had to re read the clues a few times before I got it. TFTC!

Nice little climb to the lookout. Pohutukawa still in flower and puriri berries on the trees but no sign of too much bird life today. A clever hide thank you. TFTC

We didn’t see any fantails today, only a tui. We could hear fantails, bellbirds and cicadas. A quick easy find of a nicely camouflaged cache one we reached the lookout. TFTC

Pleasant day for a visit to this reserve. Nice camo. TFTC.

Nice one

Really great camo. First one of hers we've found. Now we have a better idea of what to look for. Didn't have pen, will come back to sign.

A geocoin visit

A visit with a few geocoins.

That is a very sneaky but cool hide!!

Awesome cache!??

great container

Great walk and first time I have been in this lovely little reserve. TFTC

very sneaky cache incredible to think this was once bare farmland accept for few big puriri trees and was planted in th 1960s incrredible

A nice view and a well hidden cache.
Thanks.

A nice walk up to the lookout. Love the caouflage...TFTC

a tui and fantails were there to serenade us

Not sure but we may have heard fantails, the cicada fanfare was drowning out all other sound. Saw a pair of kereru playing against the blue sky and from GZ the breaking surf and fishing gannets were memorable. Great place, very nice hide. NINO TFTC

Great cache, very clever.

Cool, pleasant bush walk on this hot summers day. Great views at the top and an interesting cache to find - thanks.

First ever geocache find attempt...sadly, didn't find it (I think we confused memorised clues from another hide!) but enjoyed the walk and views. Will look again if we are up that way.

Convinced Mrs Zorgon to join me on this walk as she hadn't been here before despite growing up in gizzy. Great views and nice camo!
Many thanks

Stopped with friend on the way back from visiting his daughter. He was very impressed with this one. He had looked under there for some time before I helped out.

Nice climb for us humans, but little 6-month old Turtleback puppy gave up and just lay down half way up. Love the camoflage with this one... TFTC Siliry, our second of yours today.

dad back. So i can find and sign log book tftc

This was a cool one - have seen a similar cache, top of the South Island. Enjoyed the walk and view. TFTC

out caching with canarynz and nzkeko today , jr taybee will do the caches on sunday as he is caming today. we look higth and low for this one.
I come up the cache in hand after looking at for about 30 sec and not seeing it Like the cache first time i have seen this type of cache .TFTC AFP

First find for the day on the way up the coast, thanks SiLiRy! Junior Girvans

The cache is safe and sound and in the right spot. YuGeo4, think "tricky wee blighter" x10. Not your usual cache container, you will love it when you find it. Happy hunting

No fantail fanfare for us… the views were worth the visit, TFTCSF

Yay! Found it at 6:35pm, after crawling for 10 minutes , mind you was night and for sure not helpful .
Anyway, a pretty tricky one as I didn't really know what to expect. Good on you SiLiRy, like it and got me, but at the end still found it.
I am glad that I got the FTF on that one, as I like a lot the Piwakawaka. But at that time they were all asleep I suppose and other noises filled the air and the reserve.

Cheers nzkeko

Listing temporarily disabled until cache can be placed.

The cache is placed. "First to Find" honours will be given on the main page. Happy hunting. SiLiRy
