Found with Gazania Rigens and Wombatwandering on our return today to these fabulous gardens. Our little excursion off the path for this one caused not even a glimmer of interest from a passer-by. TFTC
First find of my final day in Dunedin. Its time to start the long journey home(s). Quick find by Gazania Rigens and Zouavesauvage while I was looking elsewhere. Nice gardens. Thanks.
Today we came back to the Botanic Gardens as we didn't have the time and energy to collect the AdLab bonus last week. Wombatwandering came along and quickly did the lab stages as well, before we went to do a few other caches in the gardens. This was our first stop. No trouble finding it. TFTC!
A had a rest after a big day, then decided to go and get some tea, although undecided what to have. Thought I'd grab a few more before it gets dark.
In town for the mega, and headed out for a bike ride along here today. A nice quick find between passing muggles, TFTC
We decided to not look for this cache, as there were fallen trees due to the heavy rain. Well be back!!
Nice hide and my first find in Duedin. A muggle passing by asked me if I was alright. Hm, despite being caught in action by a muggle. yeah, I guess? Thanks for hiding and maintaining. Tftc
Was looking at wrong Kwhai today but quickly found once I spied the other tree. TFTC 
A tough find for us, as we didn't really know what we were looking for and the hint through us. TFTC
Got it! Pretty sure I saw the tracks of the people who found it earlier today too!
The big mission of today day was to break my record of most finds in 1 day. I started in the morning from Larnach Castle, after spending the night there. Unfortunately, the weather was really bad for part of the day but I persisted nonetheless, going on a geocaching hunt through the wind and rain, on my bike! After going down Highcliff Road into the city, I spent a lot of time in the city centre, ticking off all adventure labs there. Then through the botanical gardens and onto the steepest street in the world, which I managed to ride all the way up in 3 'stints' . To finish off I grabbed some more tradies at the waterfront and just before midnight I called it a night. I'm not sure if I broke the record yet, since I'm only logging all finds at the moment .Btw, sorry to all CO's, I did not manage to actually sign all logs, since my fingers were sometimes so cold, I had no strength to open some tight containers. Rest assured, I actually found all containers and enjoyed the full day hunt a lot! Also sorry for this generic log for all caches, making it a little bit easier for myself, since I found so many. All finds were relatively easy, mostly because of the hints, thanks for that. All DNF's were either taking too much time so I had to move on, or were very probably missing.Many thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining! FP's rewarded for the ones I especially enjoyed!

#7,069 #----------After finding the 2000 cache and then getting a DNF on another cache nearby, I was hoping for luck to get back on track. Thankfully, it did here. But it took a bit of search as I kept going to the wrong tree. TFTC!!! TFTC!!!

Dopo la visita alla cache storica, con NitiFlex passiamo da qui.Saluti dall'Italia.TFTC
Finalmente con Eletab sono arrivate le nostre vacanze in Australian e New Zealand.1 e 2 GiornoViaggio davvero lungo, pi di 18000 km da casa in linea d'aria !!!Appena arrivati affrontiamo una Trady per ottenere il badge ma poi alziamo subito la posta con una multi ma la stanchezza prende il sopravvento e abbandoniamo velocemente per uscire a cena.La vera caccia inizia solo domani..3 GiornoCi svegliamo presto e abbiamo 2 ore e mezzo prima di colazione per cui i primi 10000 passi volano cos. A fine giornata arriviamo a farne le quattro volte di piu' (39.000). Abbiamo visitato un mercato di prodotti alimentari locali e esplorati 3 bellissimi parchi. 4 GiornoOggi abbiamo deciso di provare a usare i monopattini. Io non posso reggere un numero tale di passi per due settimane.... Una figata, io sono abituato ma Elio si comporta divinamente e per me se lo comprer hihihi. Nonostante questo arriviamo a oltre 20000....5 Giornomattina presto ci facciamo 2 ore e mezza di monopattino in giro per Lab poi partiamo per Dunedin per cercare le cache storiche che ci interessano. Qualche sosta obbligatoria a cache di elevato valore statistico allietano il viaggio !!! About this cache:la trova Elio, per fortuna velocemente, ormai buio.....Thanks Owner
Managed to grab this in between passing walkers. I imagine it can be trickier to get at busier times...TFTC!
Found during our walk in this beautiful garden. Thanks for showing us this location. MildasVnner, Sweden
First cache in Dunedin and potentially my most southern cache. Visiting from Wellington.
Spotted quickly from the path so I waited for some muggles to go past and then quickly made the find. TFTC
Found this cache before and I’m not too sure if it was cold but the notebook felt a little bit damp…
A nice afternoon in the Gardens with HoppyHunting having a hunt for a few caches. Found this one using the hint. TFTC!
A lovely lil spot on a sunny day, so funny when some ducks came up to us thinking we had food! Thanks
Beautiful autumnal afternoon in the gardens. That one took me a while on but stoked to find it!! Tftc
Visiting Mini Mob at Uni. Took a Sunday walk near his college to grab a few while here. Have to read the hint carefully and look a bit further out. TFTC.
Started looming above the retaining wall, helps to read the hint closely.
Touring through north and now south NZ in a month from the US. Better qeather down here than we expected! Thanks for hiding and maintaining the cache!

We are enjoying a vacation in New Zealand. What a wonderfully beautiful country to explore. Next week we will be in Australia and we are looking forward to seeing more spots in Australia as well. One of our goals for today was to find another November of 2000 cache. 
After we found that cache, we decided to head on over to this geocache.
We used your directions to poke around a bit and soon we had the cache in hand.
Thank you for placing and maintaining this geocache for all of us to try to find. We appreciate it.
