Moeraki Lookout (North Otago) Moeraki, South Island, New Zealand
By drawp on 10-Dec-11. Waypoint GC38ZEN

Look out platform has been moved and new site too close to another cache hence cache archived.

The lookout platform has been moved. It's all been dug up

No sure where you can hide this one in a very small flax bush, co need to actually visit this one to check as lots of happenings here...

Lots of excavations going on at GZ and absolutely no sign of a flax bush big enough to hide a 200ml sistema. Will have to come back another time.

Cache was not on or near platform, try base of flax.

The lookout has been moved. Not sure what has happened to the cache

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today on our way to Moeraki and Oamaru.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

We’re here from the UK on the trip of a lifetime with Geocaching as one of the ‘must do’ elements of the trip.

We managed not to have downloaded today’s caches to the GPS but luckily had a paper back up and managed to find all we searched for. Thanks to the cache owner for bringing us to these wonderful views – a Favourite from us..

Jane tracked this one down and then showed Roger where we were headed for lunch – Fleur’s Place (excellent meal – yum).

We left a shiny Sterling 5p coin and picked up a TB

In the early morning before sunrise seached for the Cache TFTC

A lovely view and walk after lunch at Fleurs. TFTC

Last one for the weekend. Just wished we could of stayed longer. Thanks for great caches

Fast found, thx!

Came across by accident as little one found it thinking she got a toy. Wasnt put back right or had been up tuned by muggles so replaced well.

TFTC Love caching with all the wee monsters in Moeraki

Great view. My brother actually found. Nice wee walk! Sorry didn't have a pen.

A quick stop for lunch then off to follow the walkway. Spotted a few seals lazying about in the sun. Well it is a lovely day for it . Cheers for the cache.

Quite hard to find cos you need to get on your hands and knees and it's not under or near the seat. It's under the platform.

Found at 1:39:00 p.m. on 11/01/2015.

Out having a couple of days camping with the family on the coast between Dunedin and Oamaru. Of course this gives me a chance to pick off a few caches along the way.

Nice view, good spot to get your breath back.

Checked out today and replaced cache.

Went for a walk along the millennium track today in the not so nice weather.

Looked under rocks and flax and platform at GZ, no luck

Quick find in a beautiful spot. Ran into a relative of the gentleman on the plaque...nice to hear some history about the place and the tractor On our way to the Catlins!! TFTC

Found together with harrylime on our trip through New Zealand.

Still out in the open. Now placed under platform under rock. #1108

I really enjoy spending time in New Zealand, I just love it here. Its nature, people and adventures I am passing through. Awesome place, thank you very much for introducing to myself and for the cache itself Sorry for late logging, I have some problems with internet access during travelling.

Found this one as out in the open have tucked it back under so not seen from viewing platform. May have been blown out as very strong SW winds today. TFTC

A beautiful spot after a nice climb. I think it's snack time at Fluers now )))))

Puff puff

Tftc

Another nice find to do with kids.

Thank you for the cache. We were with my wife on long trip around south east Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The caches showed us so many nice places.

Today we have discovered the need to log your finds ASAP. We were here 2 years ago and was able to find our log which was not registered!!!! Have done again today and as the climb was such hard work due to yesterday's rain am going to be cheeky and claim two finds. it was just as beautiful as last time TFTC.

Bit late in claiming this one TFTC

TFTC

Thanks for the cache

A little off road climbing was necessary to get this cache. But in the end the view was amazing.
TftC!

Find #1829. On a trip to Dunedin to take Luke to Otago Uni. Stayed in Moeraki for the night, what a nice place. Did an early morning reccie of the local caches. Found this one safe and sound. Nice view too. SL TFTC

TFTC!

Made the mistake of hoping the fence. Stick to the path!

Great spot. Love the view. Early morning caching is so much better at scenic and tourist spots. TFTc.

Searched tractor and platform but did not succeed

We were distracted by the nearby tractor. No cache for us though. Beautiful walk.

Great view. Quick find. Tftc

13494... Interesting views from the Moeraki Lookout, TFTC.

Thanks for the cache

After Dinner I go for a walk and found this Cache at the wonderful Lookout. TFTC.

Mrs TW and I were heading down south to Moeraki for our tenth honey moon. The cachelets have been left with instuctions and their grandparents. We made a stop at the Whitestone cheese factory to stock up on provisions before arriving at paradise. We checked into the motor camp and had a cuppa before heading out for a walk. Booking made for dinner tonight and I headed out for a walk while Mrs TW headed back for a nap. It reminded me of home with the 'track closed' sign and thought I'd see how far I could make it. I found the right spot and then found the cache quickly too, as I was signing the log I could see our wee home for the next couple of days. I found a 'track' back down to the waters edge.

Thanks for the cache.

Lovely view

Muggle mate found it and left me searching. I'll get him back!!! Tftc.

Coming back with a pen after a lunch at Fleur's.

We walked down from the lookout to get this cache and took a brief break on the bench nearby. Another great spot for admiring the stunning scenery. TFTC!

No one around today, but I did look from the other side first just to spot the cache laughing at me from the other TFTC!!!

Nice walk after having lunch at Fleurs. Easy find, TFTC, TNLN

(Logged the DNF- but forgot to log the DF until now) We had another go, from the top this time on our way to Whaler's Lookout. Sat down and outwaited a couple looking at the view.

Had lunch by the beach, then came up the track to here after a failed attempt to get to Tapuiri from above. One man cleared off shortly after we arrived at the lookout, but a local stayed..and stayed.. and stayed... and outwaited us. Huh!

Parked at the bottom and got some exercise climbing the hill for this one.

Holidaying at our family crib. Great day, easy find. Hid it a new spot. Think like a troll.

A great view from here. I was mislead by the hint but found it in the end!

Took a bit of looking but got it! The hint helped, but only because of a cache I did earlier with similar wording. Tftc

Great veiws

Nice but not so easy find on our walk around Moeraki. (The hint was quite misleading - or my English is too bad...)

TFTC + greetings from Hamburg/Germany

The hint meant this one probably took longer than it should have. Trust your GPS instead. Found with Aoraki sheep.

A good view and worth a stop to find a cache. Found with debsnz

TFTC Chelonia

Good views and a nice walkway to the lookout (and the next cache). Quick find, TFTC

Have found caches quicker! TFTC

The morning of the wedding dawns. H and the little ones are wide wake far too early and B is of course fast asleep. So to allow him his beauty sleep we set off on an early morning walk to burn of some of the hype. Lovely walk and we saw some seals on the beach which added to the enjoyment. Very breezy though today beginning to wonder whether the wedding will be indoors?

Day Two: Wedding Bells

#2902
The morning of the wedding itself and an altogether different slant on South Island weather. Gone, the bright blue skies and sparkling green seas, replaced by steel greys and flat light, perfect for taking photos.
Before taking up my duties of the day a quick chance to grab some of the local caches.

I passed a lady jogger/stroller on her morning constitutional and commented on the weather. She came back with, what has become my quote of the holiday
"Yes I know! We live in Paradise but still get lousy weather"

A completely different perspective on Moeraki and such a secluded little space.

Thanks for bringing me here and thanks for the cache.

TFTC

A nice stroll, awesome views and a pretty quick find. TFTC.

Warmer on land (even on this exposed spot) than out fishing this morning in southerly/choppy sea.

nice track, good views. tftc.

thee mole making me climb up hills again! nice view though. tftc.

An interesting spot and I enjoyed the god views.

4828. After a couple of extra days in Dunedin after the Mega Event this was our day for travelling back north, and this was our thirty fourth cache find of the day. After we had found Te Tapuiri and Whalers Lookout it was a short walk on the way back down before the cache was found and the log signed. It was dark by the time this one was found - just as well the track back down is obvious!!! Yes, we know (now) that there is an easy drive almost to the cache but why drive when you can walk?!!? Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

An awesome spot with a great view of the township.

Cache number #222 down south while attending the mega event. Nice view of the bay. TFTCSL
