Found half it. Top part still secure but bottom half with log is missing. Searched the ground around cache but could not locate missing piece. Suggest owner needs to replace

After finding another cache we walked across what are probably the softest looking rugby fields I have ever seen. I almost wanted to lay down and roll around in them and might have even enjoyed some boot tags in the face at the bottom of a maul.
We incorrectly assumed there was a gate to walk through and so had to slip through the fence commando style. I was just glad it wasn't a barbed-wire fence or I might have lost a testicle.
I quickly uncovered the cache and in the brilliant sunshine we realised it was the first time in a week we weren't wearing jumpers or long pants. We needn't have worried because before too long the sun was disappearing behind the mountains and the ugly cold was back to haunt us. tftc

On a geocaching mission with kiwitien and reshamfiriri. Not sure if what we found was the original cache as part of micro found nearby. We'll be back here on Easter Monday for the Mackenzie A+P! TFTC
Greetings from Australia. We are in the last few days of our tour of New Zealand and have enjoyed caching here as well as the touring. We are just picking up some caches along our route as we head towards Christchurch.
This cache was easy to find with it having good co-ords. Log was signed and all was replaced as it had been found. Thank you to Bitsprayer for placing this cache.

Found it. Wasn’t micro and had a pen?? Was very wet inside might pay to check it
Found quickly it at 16:58 hrs, on our way to Lake Tekapo to do some star gazing on X-Mas eve. TFTC!
Working with a PE, Technology class from Mackenzie College using Geocaching as the project. Look out for the new caches the students will be installing in and around Fairlie. Left a new log book. TFTC
After stopping for coffee and a muffin we came along to this cache and I soon found it. A teacher from the school was outside with an armful of ski poles - I wonder why?
After a coffee stop in Fairlie and reading about James Mackenzie, we drove up the road for a quick find here
#14529. Good to be back in Bitsprayer territory (no doubt there will be many more BS finds on our trip south). TFTC.
Found with StreetWalker on day 1 of our road trip to the Oamaru Geofest, taking the scenic route, of course. Today we are travelling from Chch to Cromwell.
After refuelling on the local fare (pie), we had time for a cache before continuing our journey. A quick find for SW and no more Fairlie awful puns from us. TFTC.

On a mission from Rolleston to Tekapo, Twizel, Omarama, Kurow, Waimate and home again. Found over 100 caches, which was the goal for the day. A bit drizzly for a start but beautiful sunshine through the Mackenzie. Thanks to all the CO's and apologies for the cut and paste.
Did a stopover in my bike tour of the south island, now sunny and nice. Stayed at the holiday park at Fairlie, going to Lake Tekapo tomorrow. TFTC.
Found with wusnwusn during our stay at a holiday park in town!

Out and about with mum and bro who are muggles .... what better way to introduce them to our beautiful side of the world TFTC
Tricky to write in log as is soaked and the micro container is no longer micro. TFTC with heyhaynz. Will remove picture if wanted.
Thanks Bitsprayer for this drive-by. Lying rather exposed, but it seems to be surviving.
TFTCI thought the blue thing was a muggled cache, but found the full object and signed. TFTC.
Another nice quick park and grab which was appreciated in the rain today. Nearly did a nose dive as I tripped on a branch while trying to high tail it back to the car after signing the log. TFTC #8936
What a way to start spring, snow falling. Well not while we were hunting the cache there was latter on when visiting friends in town. Not to mention both to and from Ashburton over the hills between here and Geraldine. Quick find, bit fiddly getting the log back in seeing as it was so cold and raining.
Thanks for the cache.

Visiting friends in Fairlie Mum wanted to stop for just one cache. Thankfully it was a quick find as it was rather cold, and wet.
Thanks for the find.
Thanks for the find.
What a cold day for the first day of spring. Luckily the find was quick and we headed straight for our friend's home heated by a logburner.
Thanks for the cache.

Found on a great cache tour with my flat mates Cass and Tomoyo. A big thank to all cache owners!
Tftc! Our first ever snow cache, travelled to Orari to stay and down to Fairlie for a play in the white powdery stuff. Kids stoked to be able to run around in a Showgrounds full of it!
Just getting dark, made a quick find, then off for dinner.
Decided on a weekend away in South Canterbury. Had some amazing weather and the mountains and valleys were superb.
