As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,
TheCur8or

Skipped this one as its gone missing. Hopefully it will be replaced

Wondering if this one has disappeared

#4898. I have been down south on a work trip and today was the second day I had set aside to do geocaching. Had hired a car on the Monday and had until 5pm today to locate as many caches as possible close to Invercargill. Parked up the road near the shops and walked back down to this one. Wasn't in the first place checked but saw it nicely tucked away in the second place. Well done hiding it here in a place that must get lots of muggles. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache markmexted.

Stadium was quiet at Tuesday evening. Quick found. TFTC.

Not busy this morning made for an easy find.

After a few days of very intense work activities, I had one last full day free in Invercargill before I head back home to Nelson tomorrow. I headed off early for a full day out caching to see how many caches I could find. The weather was threatening but apart from a cold wind and occasional drizzle it really wasn't too bad. Found this one after a short search. TFTC, Biggles.

After a frustrating week with hubby with a bad back I decided that the weather today wasn't as bad as forecast and I'd have a day caching.
Too Saethwr shopping, then got a few more together.
Looked where she found it twice before she looked. Only 1 part of the hint is true today.
Thanks for the smilie.

Down in Invercargill with the Manawatu U15 Championship boys hockey team for the tournament this week, and plenty of caching. Out for a late afternoon walk while the boys chilled back at the accommodation and having driven past this one a few times already decided it was time to give it a go. Quiet around GZ today and after checking a couple of likely hiding spots the cache was found. TFTC.

Team 7 on the case

Wow that was actually so well hidden... took me a good couple of minutes Haha!! Thanks for the cache!

Nice

Nice find on way to work in the rain tftc

Cool find

Awesome find after the rugby game so no muggles

Found it, thanks

Hier mußten wir eine Weile suchen und auch der Hint hat uns erst nicht so richtig weiter geholfen.
Aber dann hatten wir doch den richtigen Blick und konnten uns ins Logbuch eintragen.

Let the Adventure beginn. Calli87 goes to New Zealand and Australia!!!
Was aus einer Partyidee mal werden würde, hätte ich nie gedacht. Fast ein Jahr Planung und Vorbereitung steckt nun hinter mir, um eine gute Freundin bei ihrem Work and Travel Aufenthalt zu besuchen.
Wir bereisen für einen Monat mit dem Campervan das wunderschöne Neuseeland und wir machen dort Halt wo es uns spontan gefällt. Danach geht es noch für knappe 2 Wochen nach Australien mit Stops in Melbourne, perth und die Goldküste runter nach Sydney.

New Zealand offers just so much nature and so great views, which make the stay so pleasant. We have seen so many great places together that impressed us both.

*Route New Zealand:* **Auckland - Bay of Island - Cape Reinga - Hot Water Beach - Matamata - Rotorua - Tongariro Alpine Crossing - Turangi - Wellington - Picton - Marahau - Westport - Punakaiki - Runanga - Franz Josef Glacier - Fox Glacier - Wanaka - Queenstown - Te Anau - Milford Sound - Lumsden - Invercargill - Bluff - Curio Bay - Nugget Point - Dunedin - Mount Cook - Pukaki -Leeston - Akorua - Christchurch**

*Route Australia:* **Melbourne - Perth - Bisbane - Gold Coast - Bayron Bay - Coffs Harbour - Port Macquaire - Port Stevens - Bateau Bay -Sydney**

**DAY 19**
Today we went with our campercan "Gandalf" to Invercargill. Arrived we enjoyed the great view of the mountain and the water. The visit had already paid off. After we had arrived and eaten, I looked briefly at the map and saw this Tradi on the map. So i decide to went to them. After a short search I could find them. At GT it was calm and a short affair to found the Geocache Afterwards we went with the CM towards the campsite in Bluff.

Nach dem Signieren des Logbuches habe ich wieder alles ordentlich zusammengepackt und in sein Versteck gelegt.
Vielen Dank sagt Calli87.

Didn't take much finding as it was kind of just sitting in the hide. What took the most time was exiting the GZ as the roundabout soon filled up and went on a go-slow. SL and returned a bit more hidden going by the hints. Waiting, waiting ah a gap in the traffic and we went on to the next cache. tftc

Quick find with muggle niece and nephew. TFTC

Thanks

Quick find!

Found on New Year's Eve, tftc!

Nice quick find first thing in the morning. had one strange look from a walker as I stood there signing the log.

Ha ha three big cheers
And across the road you can buy your beers

Wondering where it was i should go
Then read the clue
I know what to do
Hidden low
I go with the flow
It is so small
Compared to the ball

Thank you for the cache

Tftc! We have a week in Invercargill! Might as well go look for those caches!!

Found it after searching for a while. TFTC

Found on 15/11/2015.

Had some time to kill in Invers today so I wandered about town collecting caches.

A little disappointed by the defeat of France against All Blacks, we were happy to see a kiwi rugby stadium!

This is the fifth day of my fifteen day trip to go to the Christchurch Mega. I got to Invercargill early, so I did a walking tour of the area to find caches. This cache was in plain view if you look at it correctly. Good thing the cache is in a place where people will not normally look. TFTC.

Tftc good hiding spot

Lid missing

Found the cache easily enough but couldn't sign the log, as the lid has gone AWOL. Container in urgent need of replacement. TFTC

1600 hours. Had my boy Bruiser at the skatepark. Thought therefore I would just have a quick look for a couple of handy Caches. Found this one easily enough. Container probably needs replaced as lid is broken off and log book needs to be stuffed inside with other stuff to keep it in there and then placed upside down so that water doesn't get in. Other than that I signed the log book. Tftc.

Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.

Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.

Had a two night stopover in Invercargill, found while geowife was having a swim in the nearby aquatic centre

Found with timjah...thanks☺

Too easy ☺

The box is without a cap. Nice stadium. TFTC!

Fiund it

Good spot, tftc. Go the stags!!

18087 km from home we found this Cache while our holidays. Thank you very much for hiding and greetings from Dresden, Germany!
@Owner: the box needs maintenance!

Quick grab in the morning while beginning the return trip of my cycle journey Auckland-Invercargill-Auckland. Tftc
PS: the cache cannot be closed anymore!

TFTC

Thanks

Am given to understand that this stadium is under a bit of a cloud . Seems to be a political football by the local council (forgive the pun). Fairly easy find , managed to avoid the muggles TFTC Markmexted

Neat find, thanks.

After returning from Bluff we had a cup of coffee, and then we went out on a walk and found some caches near the motel, where we were accomodated. Allthough it was a windy, cold and rainy weather, it was still a nice walk (we were well equipped with raincoats .

With the good hint it was no problem to find the box. But unfortunately the log was very wet, so it was difficult to write our signature .

Thanks for the cache.

found with nzanz, tftc

easy gast find tftc

Quick find. Cache missing lid and small bag needs replacing. Didn't have chance to search for lid as muggle nearby.

Never quite understood a game where you get the ball and six big blokes pile on the back of you.. Thanks..!

A bit rusty

Tricky wee find

With Ruben his second find.
