Obviously a muggle/s is having too much fun here continuously pinching our caches and ruining the fun for everyone else. We have decided to Archive this cache and put in a multi close by.

Off to the wildfood festival. A stunning beautiful day on the west coast. Wonderful people and scenery. Thanks to all cache keepers.
Found on our way to Hokitika gorge. A nice quick find at GZ. Lovely view and interesting info. SL. TFTC.
This cache is not far from where we are staying, so we decided to start the geocaching day here before driving south to the Hokitika Gorge.
There was a camper van in the car park, but it seemed to be empty and we wondered if the couple that we passed walking down the road towards the pub were the occupants. Had a bit f a look around at the interesting sign boards while StreetWalkerNZ set to looking for the cache, and he soon found it. Well worth a visit, thanks g+m.

#17805. This was the closest unfound cache to our accommodation, so we started the day here (even though it was in the opposite direction to the rest of the caches we looked for). The cache didn't take too long to find, and we enjoyed reading some of the info panels about this interesting area. TFTC.
The 8th and last day of our New Years trip down south. Today we drove from Cromwell to Greymouth and took the slight detour home to check on this cache. it was missing again so we replaced it. All good here again. Happy Caching 
Lots of seats and a lot of places for a magnet to stick to and we’ve felt like we’ve searched them all. Not sure where it could be.
Last cache of the day after an enjoyable time exploring in and around Hokitika. Came here just before sunset, the view was particularly spectacular with the low sun angle. The cache was found quickly - signed log, TFTC.
This morning I was dancing outside trying to catch snow. Now told our flight for this afternoon is cancelled so out for a drive and the opportunity to find a cache. This is a very interesting place with great views. Thanks for this cache gracie7.

Off on a maintenance run to Hoki/Mahinapua today and we stopped to check on this one.
Someone had removed our tape holding on the magnets! So we retaped it and gave the log a new bag.
All good here again. Happy Caching

This is the reason I love geocaching. Without looking for the cache we woud have never have found this place. Great view and history boards. Thank you for bringing us here.
Wonderful views form here. First things first - found the cache, admired the views and then read the various panels and other bits of information. As always amazed by all the history around here. TFTC # 13,024
A quick find with the family. Great place 4yr had lots of fun. Thanks for bring us here.
Stopped to consult our other gps to find out where the heck we were going, since it was doing some really unusual stuff( - wasn't till 1000km later that we realised it had some how set is own routing to avoid main highways.. the problem corrected right away after that) and thought this looked like a cachey kinda spot. Located and signed. Nice vista
Magnet coming loose so tied with (unused) dental floss. Found on a glorious morning whilst reading about the mining heritage. Greetings from Kent, England.
Found and signed log while heading to the gorge, touring around NZ from Australia... TFTC
We have passed this cache a few times, this time we managed to stop and have a look for it, easily found.
Cheers and thanks,

this was quite a quick find. I'll need to come another time when I've more time on my hands and explore a bit more.
Thanks for showing this nice location to us! First found the cache, then had lunch over there.
Day 4 Hokitiki - Lake Paringa
We ventured back into Hokitiki to find a couple more caches before heading into the glacier area.
Raining most of the morning so picked up a few where we didn't have to venture to far from the camper. A great drive down the coast, many good caches in wonderful locations.
Thanks for placing this cache gracie7 + Mum

Enjoying our NZ Motorhome adventure, using geocaching as our travel guide. This was another worthy location to pause and enjoy.
Thanks so much for placing this cache.

We parked here to maintain [In The Delli](https://coord.info/GC2788K) for the CO so checked our cache while we were here. All good. Happy Caching 
We don't always have enough time to venture much beyond Greymouth when visiting family but today was a dedicated "around Hoki-Day". We cached out around Lake Kaniere some time ago so today it was Lake Mahinapua's turn after doing the new bug series along Stafford Loop Road. Going uphill we had trouble to pull over for the "In The Delli" cache but when we found good parking it was like two for one 
The view was fantastic where we sat down to sign the log. Thank you gracie7 + Mum

Thank you gracie7 + Mum.

With Xlxmas we were taking a New Zealand round trip, and geocaching help us to find interesting places on the way. So on our way to Fox Glacier we stopped here to take a piece of the walkway and found the cache easily on the way back.. Thanks for inviting us to discover this beautiful place.
Well, that was quick.
I came here just looking for Geocaches, then found out about the walkway, and decided to follow it through.
That was a nice distraction.
The travelling fox is happy =^,^=

We checked on this one while on a maintenance run today. It was missing so we replaced it with the same type of container. All good to go here again. Happy Caching
Found on 17 May but logged as a note, not a find, so am making amends now. I'm back on the Coast and wondered why a couple of caches didn't show. My mistake but all good now. As I said in the note, took a while to find but worth the effort. Great view. Tftc
Very quiet here today. Lovely views over the valley. Took a while to find. Well camouflaged but worth the hunt.
Met a lovely couple who were sitting on top of the cache. They now know about geocaching tftc
Mum was in the area yesterday and did a random check on this and noticed the logroll was abit damp so she came back today with a replacement logbook. All good to go
Its Easter & have teamed up with The Seagnoid & Zara, for a magical mystery tour, exploring the amazing West Coast. Its Sunday and we are off exploring again, heading towards Hokitika.
Visited a bulldozer at the bottom but did not find the cache. Hunted around the cave but did not explore inside before coming to this amazing place. Loved the historic plaques with heaps of interesting info. The war memorial was awesome. Yay my find. Cheers

On a big Easter caching mission with ZaraBus and TaybeeDragon. Lots of crawling through mines, climbing hills, walking through bush. And yet we only covered a tiny bit of the West Coast, between Greymouth and Hokitika.
Spent a lot of time here, reading up all the notice boards, before looking for the cache.
