We're sorry to let this one go but we are archiving it to open up the spot for other caches.

Will disable this until we get up there to check it out.

Found the dangling part of the cache, but the nano capsule end has disappeared! Found log paper near by and have tucked paper by the dangling string!

Took us ages, but it was our first time

Wahooo

I've been in the area a few times since taking up geocaching but this is the first time I've been able to tackle it. A nice quick find.

I had been talking with a neighbour at the caravan park about geocaching and he said that he would be interested to take up the hobby so I invited him to join me today for a jaunt around the town to sign off a few. So he immediately joined up with GC.COM.This was the fifth we found. What a fasinating place this is.

Cheers for the cache.

Our first nano! Tftnc

Whoops, I got muggled returning it! Nice find though - tftc

We also had some locals chilling, so were discrete. Didn't know that this heritage park was here.

Interesting spot. We had to be sneeky because there were some cool youngsters chilling around. Nice hide!

Interesting spot and a quick finding.

Had a quick look, but couldn't find it

Found it on my second trip up. Busy wee spot, lots of people coming up to feed all the ducks My smallest find so far

Sneeky little hide in a nice spot TFTC

Sneeky little hide in a nice spot TFTC

Last night with my sister having spent Christmas with her. Drove into to town to get petrol and decided to grab some caches while I could.

Parked on the grass verge and followed the arrow. A car pulled up in the carpark so I wandered around and looked at the farm machinery on display. The car soon left so I got down to hunting. I didn't feel very hopeful and then I saw it.

Very sneaky indeed, so pleased I was able to sign the log.
Thanks for the hide.

Hard work great geo, mas says "it was easy"

Seeky

Very clever wee hide! Tftc

Had to come help hrh54 as she couldn't find it.. son does everything

Found with the help of RustynSnez as I didn't have my Caching eyes in. Nice spot Very fat ducks who obviously get fed lots of bread. TFTC

Was a little exposed, tucked back in again. TFTC cute wee dog clip nano.

Extremely small cache but reasonably quick find.

Back a year later for a second attempt and after a long search fighting a gps which kept changing its mind, we were about to give up again - then lo, there it was.

Thanks kryshan

Found all safe n sound be rude not to get this one as I was staying in the motel next door TFTC

Cool bit of history here ......first nano in a while AWSOME!!!! TFTC

Found with dreadedchick fun weekend road trip!!!!

Had a good search here but it was too clever for us today

Checked on this cache today, all good and still in place

Quick find

Easy find in an awesome little park

A bit tricky .... Got it in the end. Love the museum

Hard to find

Got to within 0 metres and thought I was in luck but could not find it.

Out on a caching date with AT for a day. The weather did not look ideal, but it worked out to be perfect for caching since all the 'normal' people stayed inside, leaving us to our enjoyment. A big thank you to all the CO' for giving us hours of entertainment!!!

No luck here - the GPS was taking us to the bridge, and we checked all possible hiding spots we could, and also near the machine, but nothing for us here today.

TFTC took a while finding it in the rain but managed thanks quite tricky that one

Found with Deonrocks while travelling the South Island. Great hide. TFTC!

I read way too much into hint. After much searching - there it was. TFTC.

Had us stumped for a bit. Very good hide! TFTC.

wow tiny! lucky the troll didnt take it

Thorough look- couldn't find despite having only been replaced four days ago. Got right down in the creek. It surely is invisible

Replaced cache, good to go now

Today is a caching day.

Originally not planned on stopping for this one but the coin flip encouraged me to try.

Container gone. Think must have been on a sign that has gone.

Had a thorough look no luck.

Couldn't find this one, searched pretty well

No luck here, searched all the likely places, then the unlikely ones, but not found

Maybe muggled.

No luck for us here

Clever cache. A few muggles nearby

Is the grass really greener on the other side??

Is the grass really greener on the other side??

Tftc... Tricky being stealthy on this one:)

Beautiful day. TFTC

Nobody about, must all be in watching truck parade. TFTC

A quick find after accidentally startling all the ducks. The wind from their rapid departure could be felt!

Got it!!

Found this one while on holiday from home at Whangamata TFTC

Thanks for the cache

Found this one during our month long campervan/"Road trip" vacation in New Zealand. It was a wonderful experience driving around this beaurtiful country.

This one was found on a day driving from Te Anau to Portobello (Otago Peninsula)

Thanks to kryshan.

Our find # 11965

That was a bit harder great hiding spot

Ooohhh good hiding place tftc

Great area for a cache! Found while passing through Gore from Milford Sound to St Bathans. Finding caches in Gore was a priority. Arrived during the opening hours of the museum, but no one was around. Found a cache at a similar museum near Dunedin the next day. Great places which I wish I had more time to explore. Cheers kryshan for the cache!

Quick find TFTC.

Found it! yay!!

Wonderfull place and find

That took us a wee while tftc

Hard but found it

Lovely setting - tftc

NZ road trip with Schlitz13. On our tour we had the time to look for some caches. We found them, and some special places of interest or great views.

TFTC!

For the first time during our visit to New Zealand the weather was getting really worse. We headed north-east for our next destination: Dunedin. But first we visited the very small Te Anau Wildlife Center. The whole day was very cold and we only looked for geocaches and tried to get further on to Dundin. Finally we arrived at the Royal Albatross Center just in time for taking a private tour, that was even in german as the tour guide Sabine and all visitors are german.

another stop by the route cache on our way to Dunedin...

After a DNF the other day, we came back for a better look.. And logged the cache Tftc guys

Nice easy find while out with Tui65, Quite a few ducks out and about today.

Found quite easy, on a winters day.

First find with a new GPS, the last one fell down a cliff into the sea in Australia.

Great cache. Had a look around. TFTC

A nice location

Made us think!!

Last for the day, and a sneaky wee container. Thanks for the hide.
