I Left My Lunchbox Outside The Dairy (Otago) Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand
By Stegan on 22-Dec-11. Waypoint GC39G2R

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Even though this was disabled, had to have a look as I started today. No sign of anything resembling either a cache or a hiding spot.

Hi stegan

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Think someone nicked it cos could not find it even in the small space you hid it in

must have been taken

Couldn't find anything?

No longer here gone

Not easy to find

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

This cache is missing. I had thought to replaced the cache myself, but the area has been cleaned up and the hiding spot is now quite exposed.
Full disclosure, I have a idea for a mirco cache pretty close to this location.
Cheers, Wilbywarrior

I think it is missing this is the second time looking for it no luck yet

I drive pass here a bit and noticed the GZ had been disturbed. It has been muggled. Have tried contacting CO. Checking again today, the cache is still missing.

Searched & searched but could not find.

Nice find, easy for kids

Hey I found your lunch box but you ate your lunch. Oh well this one is tagged. Cheers

Saturday 20 April - Dunedin - short cuts and pathways today.

Its another awesome geoventure to Dunedin, with The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby, Jack, Jill and William all along for the trip. Had a wonderful 10 days exploring Dunedin. It was great catching up with local cachers at several events we attended. Lots of walking and driving, with the odd cycle and wave ride to jazz things up. Thanks to all the COs that made this trip a wonderful success. Even managed to bag some lab caches along with wherigos, earth caches and events, with the usual mix taking us to some amazing places..

A quick and easy find while waiting for my coffee. Cheers

Time to head back home from Dunedin, spending the morning cruising around the town and the afternoon on SH1.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Good hide! Thanks

My first Dunedin find! Thanks ^^

Last cache of the day. Easy find, harder to extract without being noticed. TFTC

Quick find as could see part of it as came near. Return took a lot longer as a bus pulled up nearby and sat there for ages. Couldnt see if passengers in bus (dark windows). Eventually moved of and returned and tried to hide a little more. TFTC

Tftc

nice stroll up to the cafe tftc

We are on our summer holiday driving around the South Island with no real idea of where we will end up each day. We are often drawn to an area that has the potential to give us a few geocaching smilies and somewhere we have not spent time exploring before. In some cases we are revisiting placed that we have been before but liked so much we are going there again.
While in Dunedin we were mostly searching for the old caches that fill a gap on our date placed grid and some Challenge caches that fill a gap on our D/T grid.
We had been up to Flagstaff Hill and we were on our way back to where we were staying, I noticed this was a bit bigger than most caches so we came to have a look for it. Once we were in the correct area the cache was quickly spotted, we signed the log and returned it as it was found.
Thanks for placing the cache and thank you for the smiley

Easy pesy

On a 10 Day holiday of the South Island, we are visiting from Australia. Sl thanks for the cache.

Found it with flower girlnz TFTC

TFTC great hiding

TFTC!
Wouldn't fit much lunch in this one anymore. Downsized since the picture

quick find TFTC.

Nice and easy for us starting out!

#6087. I had another workshop in Dunedin on Friday and decided to stay on for the night and the following morning so I could pick up more geocaches around Dunedin. I have to be back in Wellington tomorrow evening so its a shorter stay than last weekend. Picked up the rental car at the airport and stayed once more at the TOP10 campground. Plan today was to pick up a scattering of caches in the city, one challenge cache then head out to Outram to pick up the old letterbox cache.
This cache: Well what can I say. The easiest cache find ever? Partly muggled? Wandered over to the island and there was no ground cover. Just a sistema box sitting in the middle of the grass. Amazed it hasn't been removed by street cleaners. Signed the logbook and looked where it might have come from. Saw a rock by a pole so placed it there and tried to put some cover around it but this site is basically lacking ground cover. Thanks for placing it here Stegan.

Found while we were still loading the GPS, gave us a laugh, tftc!

Grew up in Dunedin but left over 20 years ago and now living in Ontario Canada. Back for a visit to see family and friends.

Quickly found while caching with POB, quite exposed so dug out a little to allow for better camo
Time for a bite to eat.
Tftc

Amazing this hasn’t been muggled. Tftf

Well that was a nice little lunchbox but could probably do with a bit more camouflage

Found it!

Found it! Easy but forgot a pen

I have some days of in Dunedin so I rented a car and visit some interesting places and special Geocaches. Lovely weather today even if the morning was pretty cold!
Not really a regular, but above and quick find !
Thanks for hiding!

Me and my friend were going to balmac when we saw a geocach down the road

Tftc
Fastest one yet!

Found it with my Mum! Our first geocache!

After a nice hot chocolate from nearby cafe I quickly located this. Looks like a nice area of Dunedin to live in

Found 10 March with mum

Fuxk u.

Easy as

A quick find near the dairy so must be time for an icecream! TFTC

Quick find by the ladies while gents ré lined in the car. TFTC

Easy find.

Careful crossing the road

Easy one, a lot of traffic. TFTC!

Quick fink while walking dog.

TFTC

Easy find. Tfrc

Found in plain sight ...covered with natural camo....

Quick and easy find

Easy find close to Nans house - we'd been waiting a while to come on holiday from Western Australia to find it

TFTC

Placed traceable Tftc

Took the geohounds. Very busy spot, improvised a stealthy grab

Found it Tftc

Very quick find TFTC

Found the cache quite easily, despite the cover it still seems very obvious and out in the open.

Found cache in the open and replaced it under the obvious rock. Felt vet exposed. TFTC.

Yay finally quiet enough for me to get this one, 9pm, tftc!

Day after finishing the Otago rail trail time to spend in dunedin collecting a couple of caches thanks for the smiles.

8 at night, no one around. Quick find. TFTC

Easy find

Quick find while out walking Ruby the staffy. Got rained upon shortly after making the grab here.

SL. Thanks for the hide stegan

Found by C, W, S. gcing without a pen today so not log left

Quick find while Mum ordered the coffee. TFTC

Saw cache immediately but took awhile to find a quiet moment to make the grab and return. surprised it hasn't been muggled hidden in plain sight. Tftc

Stumbled on it

Great to log this one after a previous failed attempt due to possibly the previous muggling and a solid Dunedin down pour. Dropped in a geocoin for further travels.
Grew up in Dunedin so Bulgie Bills 4 square which was in the vicinity of the GZ was where we collected the Sunday bread. Maori Hill had a real community spirit so it was nice to get and opportunity to get back and the look and feel doesn't seem to have changed too much. TFTC

Good to see this one back again. Drive past here every day on my way to and from work but always seems to be too busy and lots of muggles around. Tonight after dinner and on the way to drop J off to the school disco and decided now was as good as time as any. Waited for a break in the traffic and we were good to go. TFTC

Quick find on a crisp morning. Thanks

Third time lucky! We were driving past here on the way to somewhere else when I noticed this cache (which I had looked for twice before when it was missing) was back in action. There was a park right there and I was keen to find it before it went AWOL again. Pleased to finally get a smilie here. TFTC #8883

Went on a big adventure with Wafflekitties and geo pups, had a blast thanks for the memories! TFTC.

Found while on a winter holiday with LCBuilder and our two geodogs. We spent 3 weeks travelling down the east coast and then up the west coast, setting our tent up at a different campsite each night. We didn't have any real plan, just went where the caches took us we saw a lot of awesome sights and will definitely have to come back one day as 3 weeks isn't really that long! TFTC!

Glad to see this is back. Tftc

So pleased to finally get this smiley finally tftc

Noticed it was still where I had put it when I had a coffee up here last week so tonight I brought extra paper and left a log.

Container is empty and was open lying on ground have only a pen with me so can't fix it.

Glad to see this is back in it's spot! Popped up today to grab it while it's there! Hope it lasts this time!

A quick park and grab on way home from an adventure to Rabbit Island. I have looked for this one once before but it was missing. So I thought I would grad it now before it goes walkies again. TFTC

quick easy find, a bit quieter on a Sunday afternoon

Replaced again.

Second failed stegon of the day.

Did not find but found coords and hole where it could have been

Came back to tick this one off as it was gone last time. TFTC

Surprising how much traffic passes through the area late at night on a weekday. Had to come back the next day for a less suspicious looking retrieval.

All in good order, left a lanyard. Because I could.

Thank you for the cache.

Bit hard find somewhere park today. Tftc

TFTC been eyeing this one up for a while and needed one to continue the streak on my way home

2nd try and Found it no trouble

Wanted to get to 400 so a drive past on way to work after not finding the cache awhile back when it was missing.

It was lying exposed with a rock next to it. New log book, first to sign. I placed the rock on top and some bark chips that were lying about.

Easy find tftc

Hard to find

Replacement ready will place soon.

Replaced. Needs a bigger rock on top of it but it is back in action.
