Ocean View Revisited (West Coast) Nine Mile, South Island, New Zealand
By gracie7 + Mum on 25-Nov-12. Waypoint GC41ZRE

After we had visited the Pankake Rocks we slowly continued to Greymouth. Here we stopped at beautiful views and places to look for a cache and then sign it. A big thank you to all the owners and greetings from the Moorhelmi from Germany

Mein erster Cache in New Seeland. Thanks

My husband and i are on a 2 week vacation from BrisbAne Australia and today we travelled from Westport to Fox Glacier and wow what great scenery there was and we picked up a couple of smileys along the way. Took some photos here and then is was a quick find. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

All the muggles on the West coast road arrived just as we started to search. We had to wait awhile for them to take the obligatory photos before we could search. Quickly found once we had a chance. TFTC

Just starting to rain but stunning views! TFTC

Found within famous trip around New Zealand. Thanks for nice cache ....................................................................... TB Koumesovo geopivo DDEV7M

Heading up the coast today, beautiful view, thanks

Awesome! TFTC

Nice quick c&d. TFTC

Our first cache in NZ, came by in the evening, when the street was already quiet. Magical. TFTC

DNF, a bit overgrown which is probably why we couldnt find it

Turns out my partner has better eyes than me

Thanks for the cache from czech republic.

Quick park n grab - thanks!

Nearly shot past. Tftc

Its Maintenance Month and today Mum has an afternoon Lions meeting in Westport so we combined this trip with maintenance checks on all of our caches out this way. After wiping the waterproof log dry everything is All good here. Happy Caching

Such a pretty spot views wise - a real shame about all the litter around!!

Tftc

Trouvée Dont Forget to look back to enjoy the view

Yay! TFTC! I came all the way from Vancouver BC Canada to find this cache Thanks for being part of the adventure!

Another beautiful lookout. Thanks for the cache!

Another quick find!!

G'day from Australia!!!Stumble Trip had been in NZ for the past 6mths, working on the Milford Track. Stumble's Mate flew in to meet up with her and we spent the next 2wks traveling the beautiful South Island in a camper. Whilst the weather wasn't favourable for the first week, we had an awesome time and travelled some 3,200+kms, seeing some beautiful sites and staying in just as beautiful campsite along the way.Thanks to all the CO. Unless otherwise stated, all caches were found in good condition.

Time to travel up one side of a river from Greymouth to Reefton and back down the other signing off a few solved puzzles and AdLabs along with any other that got in the way.

This is one that got in the way.

Cheers for the cache, Gracie7 + Mum.

Easy find with a view and parkingspace. Tftc

On our way to the north we found the cache and had a nice view at tasman See.

found while driving back to camp

Great location!

Found that one on a cloudy day on this beautiful island!Auf einem Spaziergang an einem wolkigen Tag auf dieser schnen Insel gefunden!Greetingsegdd

Luckily a quick find as quite wet.

Cool

On the way to Motueka. TFTC

We were off to walk the Pororari River Track (or so we hoped) before it started raining. We knew this container wasnt big enough to hold any TBs so stopped to quickly check on this one on our was passed. Both the TB and the log had been SHOVED into the container in a sad state and I was not happy. [:K] TB removed to be fixed and the log managed to survive. All good to go here again. Please dont leave TBs as this layby is obviously muggly.

Great lookout dropped of the greymouth trackable

Found it

We were on our way to take two of our grandsons to see the pancake rocks. I noticed this cache was a size regular and in an area that looked as though there was plenty of parking so I asked GK to stop so we could find it.

By the time Harlan and I (who were in the back of the campervan) got our shoes out ready to put on Diaz had found the cache and he brought it to me in the campervan to sign the log. He was delighted to have found one so quickly.

Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

I found this super quickly, nana didn't even get her shoes on lol. Thank you for putting it here

Diaz found this one so fast we didn't even get to help. Thanks for putting it here

The weather didn't allow a view of the ocean that was worth taking a photo, a shame as it is a good safe viewing spot. The logsheet was very wet but we dried it as best as we could.

Found out in the open. Put back where it should be

Having only found a handful of caches so far this year we planned a trip to Westport which then turned into more of a 'Maintenance check' day with a few finds at the end. The nearby deer(?) carcass is nothing but bones now. The cache was were it should be and we just gave the waterproof log a wipe dry and popped it back. All good here. Happy Caching

Heading South today so carried on past this to a safer turning spot and came back to it. A nice quick find here. tftc

Lucky us. It wasn't hidden under the rotting deer (we hope) carcass near by. Fabulous view. Windy enough not to smell so much. Thanks

23 October 2021 09:37. Stopped boff here as part of the drive along the coast with GSEL. Paused to take in the view whilst finding this cache. TFTC

Alexis decided to get out of car and help molly.TFTC

Quick park and grab here today. Nice road to be doing some caching

Stopped here randomly to have a look at the view. Then decided to have lunch as the views are pretty great. Was standing right beside the cache as the gps warmed thinking I wonder if there is one at that rock, and yes there was.

Having a road trip up the West Coast and stopping for geocaches as we go. Beautiful views thank you.

TFTC great spot and amazing views

Certainly some expansive views from here. Glad to get the smilie after it was missing when were here 2 years ago. Thanks for the cache Gracie7 +mum

Missed this one last time...happy to put a smilie face on it thus time great out from here...thanks for the cache

Heading down SH 6 to Greymouth this afternoon. One of New Zealand's great coastal drives. Really good to be here again today after a long absence. A nice quick find here. TFTC

Full log to come

Beautiful spot. Not so nice that someone left toilet paper on the cache

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I are on a bit of a Christmas Roadtrip from Auckland to Ingill & back ... we'll be doing a few geocaches on our travels ... this being the 123rd cache of hopefully many ... we had been spent Christmas in Invercargill & were now heading back to Auckland, taking the scenic route ... we were now heading North, doing caches as we go ... another scenic outlook & photo opportunity ... good to add another 'smiley face' to the tally ... TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #1,857 for us.

Found with NZDi. We are staying at Carters Beach Holiday Camp as a base for a few days geocaching on the Wet Coast. Todays plan is to head to Greymouth picking up as many roadside PnGs as we can, with a few more interesting excursions thrown into the mix.

This is our forty-second cache of the day, and one we decided to get on the way home as the access to the layby when travelling south was deemed too dangerous by the driver (NZDi). It was easy access heading north and no muggles present either which made for a QEF PnG.

Found while out caching with Kiwimykl, refer to his log for details.

TFTC gracie7 + Mum

A quick find on our way north

Thanks for putting out this cache for woolwood9 and I to find!
SL **tm/ww NZ** (may just be a black smudge on the many wet or plastic logs)
Weather today was unsettled with rain at times.

*We soon had another good cache located, appreciate all your fun caches in the area gracie7 + Mum!*

Nice to be away on another geocaching trip with tmann421, travelling to a few places in the upper South Island.
All logs signed tm/ww NZ

Quick p&g tftc

Had to use a bit of stealth as others were stopped here too

We came to out here today to check whats up with this one. As we arrived there was someone climbing over the rocks at GZ so I asked him if he was looking for a geocache. He said no but that he knew of them and left us to it. All that was left of our cache was a now wet log inside a holey bag. I wanted to move the cache but we were ill equipped. We put a waterproof log inside a pill container and popped it back at the hint. All good here again - for now. Happy Caching

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on a most enjoyable drive north from Greymouth on a gorgeous sunny day. We got as far as Crow Bay before turning back as we had left a few caches to do on the return journey.
As the previous log says, no container, just a log book. Nice viewpoint and the temperature is finally climbing! TFTC.

#18185. Troodles looked at the hint and it told us to look somewhere I'd already searched. Checked that again and found a small log book (and no container). No wonder I didn't find a container when I first checked. Nice views. TFTC.

Thanks for cache, nice viewpoint, Log is soaking wet, couldn’t sign. Needs a container, just plastic bag. Beautiful view anyway

Found that one just lying around in the grass. Hid it again. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks for replacing this one after my last dnf a couple of years ago gracie7 + Mum, no problem with it this time, Nanzie found it quickly as we start making our way home.

Lovely views along this coast line heading towards pancake rocks thanks for this quick park and grab gracie7 + Mum

Found it on our trip around the southern island of new zealand.

On the way from Fox Glacier to Punakaiki we stopped here for a nice view and a quick cache. Next to it I spotted a Weka for the first time! A Magic Moment! TftC =)

We did all we wanted around Greymouth and now we are on our way to Westport. We had a list of all the caches on the road north. Mrs S found this one as well. Nice view and the weather is improving. Lots of rental cars and campers on the road this morning.

Thanks gracie7 + Mum.

**Found on our February - March tour around the South Island. Logging back home in Auckland in Lockdown isolation**

Travelling from Greymouth to Westport today. We have not travelled this route before and are stopping to pick up several caches to mark our journey. First cache stop at this site for us. Great ocean views indeed. Thanks.

Nice views from up here. It's also given me the opportunity to read about Noel's stupidity so I will go back and have another look.

Thanks for showing us this beautiful spot. It's nice even in the rain.

Along the west coast we had many view stops and also some cache finds.
Thanks says js333
