time for the CO to check this one the tree is there but there has been some rubbish pushed into it making it impossible to search the entire tree

Still wondering. GZ totally overgrown with muehlenbeckia and convulvulus... thorough search with reshamfiriri. Surrounding rock formations look impressive though.

In Geraldine/Timaru for the South Island Orienteering champs this weekend. I stopped here on the way to the last event. Cache proved too elusive for me today.

Checked the trees...nothing to be found...had an encounter with a young owl

A day between Oamaru and Timaru. Found a few I'd tried (and failed!) before, and a good number of new ones. Always enjoy caching in this part of the country. Thanks.

A quick find, great cliffs! TFTC
 
quick find while taking a short cut over the hill, once through the undergrowth it was a straight forward find tftc

Had a weekend in Timaru, so did a bit of caching in around the town. Thanks for the hide.

Definitely unusual formations - it reminded me slightly of a small-scale version of Mt Rushmore in the USA with the rocks just waiting to have the Presidents' faces carved on them. I wasn't sure at first whether I was going to get to the cache without wet feet but it turned out not to be a problem, and the well-hidden cache was found after two or three minutes' search. Signed log, TFTC!

This was where Heafudd M wondered about the CO's sanity in hiding it in this particular spot. TFTC

Two long searches but no result.

It took us a wee while to reach the location of this cache. Lining it up and going straight to it from the road was not the wisest option. TFTC

Second time in this area and still find the formations wonder-ful. TFTC

Love this sort of terrain.

I visited your cache as part of a week-long self indulgent Geocaching trip from Nelson to Bluff and back again. I apologise for not leaving a completely personalised log, but I do want to thank you for the time, money and effort you put into placing your caches. Without people like you who place caches, there would be nothing for the rest of us to come and find. You are fantastic Big Grin

This cache was found as part of the New Zealand MEGA 2012 Event trip.

Quick find. The Maori rock art fascinated Liz as it was the first time to this valley for her.

Nice spot, but what busy road with the Lime trucks.-Bitsprayer

What a great place a well named cache site. Could almost be called New Zealands Mt Rushmore but far nicer in its natural condition. TFTC
