The Gates of Wrath (Otago) Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand
By stegan on 12-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3AR05

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.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Checking if this has been found lately. From the logs it has gone (only one found by a newbie in the last few months which may be a suss found). I have contacted the CO to no avail,so will post this

Couldn't find it

Road trip to Dunedin with Saethwr. Caching not a priority (for a change) , but picking up a few as we go.
Took a walk along the beach this evening and ended up here. Then read recent logs.
Had a good look anyway as had some ideas. Unless the container has changed since a spoiler pic then it's not easily accessible.
Wondering if previous finder (with 6 finds as I write) actually found it.

I hadn’t read the previous logs before coming here - silly me !
Another DNF.

Fun medium find

This has definitely gone 5 pairs of eyes had a good look on a miserable day too.

Goooone. ...

The council have placed new road signs on top of the posts so the cache is definitely gone.

Definitely a stretch for me....cheers V.

Meh not really that interesting

Xool

May be gone?

Good hide definitely need a tall Person

Good hide did finitely need a tall person

Eseay

Good one. Taking travel bug to Aussie next week

Found after quite some hunting. Tftc!

No pen, so photo of log attached.

No pen, so photo of log attached.

First Dunedin cache with MacyC95. Yes she brought me along because she couldnt reach. Haha

Revisited the site with Vanjeans who helped, he definitely helped! I definitely wouldn't have gotten the cache otherwise. Excellent location for a cache, some muggle activity but not prohibitive. TFTC, greetings from Auckland

I'm pretty sure I know where it is, but I am way too short for it. Reaching, I could only just touch the area with my fingertips. I had no one else, or nothing to help me.

Tried to locate but there were way too many muggles coming and going. Is there any time this spot isn't busy?

Tftc it was fun

At a recent gathering of southern cachers, a plan was hatched. We need favourite points
..but where to find them????
Dunedin was the decision.
I had to work on my A game to convince the co driver that attendance was compulsory....
Decisions to raid the more northern caches was made. So off we set.
A stealthful approach from the south was made easier with all the Highlanders fans heading to town.
At the border, we dropped the rrrs and picked up our scarves, to blend in with the uni types.
A quick park and grab as we head for home
Found with Annielin

Thanks for the hide

tftc

This is the Southern Raiders weekend to pounce on our northern neighbors!
As we stealthily approached the border, we dropped the rrrrs and began to enunciate our worrds morre betterrrrr...
A fun weekend!
Lucky for me i know a real tall boy
Found with downsouthinv

Quick find. Dropped off TB. Tftc

Vertically challenged people need to take care around muggles tftc

Bit hard but got it

kind of easy, if you are a child ask mum or dad for help! Bring a pen as none in geocache.

Thank goodness for keen eyes. A stunning location.

Cool hide TFTC

Sweeeeet! Nice idea thanks for that

Nice hide!

Great hiding spot

Possibly found but no actual cache. May need maintenance.

Found

Great find

Down in dunnas for the weekend "caching up" with kjr.
Out for a Sunday stroll nice quick find tftc

Had three kids with me being an eye on all the people enjoying this strange winter sun. TFTC

My eyes are going. Companions had to point this out to me.

Found in the dark with looming rain clouds in the sky and the smell of rubber clouds all around us from the little-boy racers laying down some phat ones (rolling eyes emoji) nice hiding spot for the cache (big smiley emoji)

Hunted around for a wee while as the GPS showed the cache on the other side of the road. Found after a bit of thinking and looking stealthily. Heaps off muggled around enjoying the surf and the brisk breeze blowing. Signed cache and returned for next hunter.

Caching with TT n SW
Came for a walk along here. Last time mr and mrs were here, was the day met (not so long ago), and the first thing was did was walk the esplanade.
Found the cache, picked up a TB, continued the walk today

Took a team effort to extract this one, it's so nice to come to a cache that says it has 2 trackables inside and to actually FIND two there!!! Took a trackable and left one behind. TFTC

A quick find, nice to see something different, and to find trackables actually in a cache. We took one, the others took the other, and we left one to swim the seven seas ...

Last cache for the day, found just on dark which was probably a good time as the muggles parked up couldn't see what i was doing.
Signed log, TFTC stegan.

Visited to deposit 2 tbs from London.

Good find gps a. Bit off!

Nice hide in top of post.

Walked up harbour cone this morning and have had some lunch a couple of hours till school finishes so decided to have a walk near the beach. Busy today as a sunny day after last weeks rain.
I was Just tall enough.
Walked out along the road and back along the beach. The water was very cold but nice to be in bare feet.

Could see how to retrieve cache but at 1.65m I’m slightly too short! Too many muggles around to attempt more vigorously. Will have to come back another day with my tall partner.

Tftc

What a fun find!!

During my evening run I found the cache. Around 19:57 we signed the log.

Sat at GZ and pondered about where it could be. .. durrh! Sometimes I am really simple. Cheers for the cache.

Lucky we had someone big! Clever!

Tried to do this before but it is not for us short people. Bought a friend today

After parking our camper on the campside it was a short walk an quick find on our journey throu NZ.

Thank you & greetings from Hamburg/Germany

Found it!

Good find

No luck for me here but can see from other logs that it is not straight forward. Too many muggles to spend any more time plus I was getting cold as the temperature dropped dramatically from a couple of hours ago.

Small walk with my son along this beautiful beach. Tftc!
Travel bug in PCE9R5

Thank goodness for park and grabs. After a 2km round walk and two unfound caches I really wanted just one find before heading back to our accommodation for breakfast. Made the most of a small gap between muggles walking past slowly to make a quick easy find. Very ingenious.
Thanks for the smilie.

Quick find with three generations of hc’s. No pen so didn’t sign log. Tftc.

After arriving at the campsite and installing ourselves, we went for some closeby caches.
We had a nice little hike to the beach and back and we enjoyed it.
Everybody was sitting in his car and having lunch here but no surfers in the water.

Found with Dirtyhelmut. After we visited the City, we make a stroll to the Beach from the nearly Caravanpark. TFTC

Doing a little walk from the nearby campground to the beach watching the sunset and making a few caches ! Thanks for this one !

This took a while to find but fun hide.TFTC

Beautiful view and great hide! Tftc. Our perfect Sunday morning is even better now.

Nice cache

Nice cache. Beautiful view

Reasonably quick find this morning. Spotted by Frame Family and quickly logged. Replaced while keeping an eye on muggles out walking. Tftc

Have seen some similar to this so found with not too much trouble. TFTC!

Found it on my second attempt.nice hiding spot. Tftc

Clever hiding

Just had a quick look and didn't find anything

Our holiday of a life time in New Zealand with other members of the Caravan Club from Great Britain we are travelling in motorhomes from Auckland around South Island then across to Wellington and visiting the highlights of North Island. We will be here for 5 weeks and look forward to seeing your beautiful country.

Sneaky

Very nice hide very clever. +fav point

From Melbourne and doing a tiki tour of the South Island after visiting family in Nelson. Grabbing a few caches on our travels. TFTC.

A quick find despite co-ords seeming to be a bit awry. TFTC. Greetings from the UK.

Found this hard. Took a while. Knew where it should be but unable to retrieve until i enlisted the help of the small chick. Bit of a boost and it was in hand!tftc

Found while returning from beach to car. A very popular spot on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Took a little bit of thought work out where cache was hiding. Found on a suggestion by Geoson who needed a little help to retrieve it. TFTC

Geocaching and holidaying here in NZ with SwagHo from Canada thanks for a beautiful country and TFTC.

QEF. Good one. Here with HennyGeo on holidays from Vancouver Island Canada in scenic New Zealand . TFTC

During our NZ holiday trip we took a break at Dunedin, and during a morning walk in beuatiful snshine this cache was an easy find for me.

Took a minute to suss this one. Great wee hide. TFTC

Found it gps out alittle

A short walk from the campsite in Dunedin. Beautiful weather and views. TFTC

Had a good walk along the beach before finding this cache.
A bit of stealth and lots of speed to avoid the muggles that were out in force
Thanks for the placement

I think that it is at least a year ago when I sussed out the cache position and had that confirmed by the CO. Today I had my son as an assistant and the log was quickly retrieved and signed. We went and checked out a nearby one but there were too many people around.

Barely a muggle in site this morning found this cache easily with no eyes watching! Clever cache thanks for the hide!

In the evening I made a short walk along the beach, well more up the beach.
However, I came by this cache, saw something suspicious immediately and luckily all the muggles where heading away, so I just had to grab the container. In order to hide it again I had to wait for some time, but finally I also succeed in doing so without attracting attention.
Thanks for showing the place and greetings from Austria.

Third attempt at this one but luck was with us today (surprisingly considering it was 28 degrees!) and on arrival at GZ we had 2 extras so it was less conspicuous and with no muggles close by it was an easy retrieval. Back to the car close by (blocking view from a group sitting on the grass) to sign the log as we were somewhat surprised at the cache container! Our luck had a tremendous decline and all of a sudden there were muggles everywhere!!! After a good 10 minutes we were able to return cache to its home and off we went. Then we returned later in the evening for a swim close by TFTC

There's obviously been quite a bit of angst over the years regarding the situation here. A quick grab here today after a pleasant walk along the beach. TFTC
