Big love

Hello pipedream,After last night's successful kiwi watching, it was time for a good night's sleep today. After a hearty breakfast, DrDonna and I set off to look for a few more tins on the island before the ferry back in the afternoon. We were very successful and managed to find most of the caches we visited. After the crossing, we visited "Stirling Point" where we found a slightly older can and an earth cache before heading to Invercargill for our second event of our vacation. There we were delighted to meet many new faces and chat about our favorite hobby and traveling through New Zealand. Liebe Gre und vielen Dank fr die Hege und Pflege deines Traditional Cache! -moge-#############Der Cache "Pipedream's Fuchsia Walk (Stewart Island)" von "pipedream" war fr mich Cache 6695.

Very cool little hide. TFTC

We just arrived at the Stewart island lodge and are going for a walk around the area and also visit a few caches.This one was found quickly, thanks for posting

Found with Anna and Jaysen. Nice bush walk.Good cache

What a gorgeous wee walk! Another clever hide. Might incorporate this idea back in Australia! Tftc

One day on Stewarts Island: it was raining the whole day and the ride with the ferry was quite bumpy. But finding caches works with any weatherFund Nr. 1373

If only the fushias had been in bloom! It is still a beautiful track, thank you x

Walking in the rain with MuzzaL53 and co. Must do caches on the way. Tftc

A very clever hide worthy of a Favourite. Loved the walk. TFTC pipedream

Easy find tyftc

Found it, but forgot pen, notebook still pretty wet. Great hiding place

Have travelled to Rakiura for the day to perform at Halfmoon Bay School, and decided to go for a walk to retrieve this cache. This is my performance team's first hunt together. TFTC

Thanks for cache. Beautiful track.

Found it while on vacation from WI USA. Log was too wet to sign. Needs maintenance. TFTC

On our 20 day hiking experience on the South Island were got to stay on the Island. Lots of tree and greenery damage. Log book very very wet. Needs maintenance. Greetings from Australia.

Clever hiding spot, but log was super wet and needs replacement. TFTC

Arrived in Stewart Island this morning. Picked up a few caches during a reasonable walk before being able to check in to the hotel. Dull day but dry. Some very nice scenery around the place. Took a brief moment to locate this one. #7243. TFTC.

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Excellent hint.

TFTC! A lovely find to end our time on SI

Second of 2 caches found this afternoon in a break in the rain. We first found the Forest Giant and then went back across the field to find this cache. It was one we had been looking forward to finding and it didn't disappoint. We had found the same sort of hide earlier in the trip which did help us get an instant findThanks

?? Trouve ! / Found it ! ??Avant de partir pour quelques jours en trek, petit passage ici pour loguer la cache. Le logbook est tremp.4896me cache trouve.Merci pipedream pour la cache ????Before leaving for a few days on a trek, a short stop here to log the cache. The logbook is soaked.4896th cache found.Thank you pipedream for the cache ????

Wait till you get to the bridge. (Not the catwalk). Thnx

I had a zero point GZ but after reading the logs, I realized I too, was at the wrong bridge eventually made the quick find TFTC

A few days on SI including 2 on my own as the rest of the group do the Rakiura walk. I headed down this pretty walk and soon found the cache in its nifty hiding spot. Lovely spot here amongst the bush and the birdsong. Fav for the hide and the lovely walk. TFTC!

We arrived on Stewart Island last Sunday with a group of tramping friends and have walked the Rakiura Track and then flew to Mason Bay, walking to Freshwater Hut and taking the water taxi back to Oban today. We saw one kiwi on the Great Walk and Im hoping to see more here. We are staying in a house quite close to here so wandered from the top to the bridge where I soon found the cache - a very clever type of container which I saw at Lee Bay. Unfortunately the logbook is very wet but I was able to sign it. It needs a good drying out. I put it in a plastic bag but it could do with a better one. Tftc

TFTC

Short walk after preaching at the Presbyterian Church this morning unfortunately, logbook is very wet

Easy find and beautiful walk

Lovely walk, quick find by Geogarfias. Tftc

Lovely walk!

I spent a short time in Oban this afternoon and had time to find this cache and two others. I entered the trail from the park above and made my way down. As I neared the coordinates I spied a bridge and spent some time on my knees looking under it until I realized it was the wrong bridge. I made my way further down trail and found the correct bridge, along with the cache exactly where it was supposed to be. The logbook was somewhat damp, but I was able to sign and date it. I traded items, leaving a purple flamingo and taking what I thought was a pathtag. I realized later that it was actually a geocoin so I will move it along. TFTC along a beautiful little trail.

Our first cache in Stewart Island. Got it just after checking in to the hostel.Nice little walkway TFTC

We spent two nights on Stewart island during our trip through New Zealand. The day in between we explore Oban and its surroundings by going from cache to cache. We started at the memorial in the harbor and ended our route at Wohlers rest. We tried to time our walk for one of the nuggets, but even at low tide, the water was still too high (and cold!). Most of these traditionals were easy to find. Lucky for us, because we were chased by a horde of sandflies.Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches!

Very clever hide. Found with Jezalinko.
Needs a new log and bag - soaked. TFTC

Found while taking a spontaneous walk after being at Olva Island. May need a new log as the one we found was soaked

Nice quick find on lovely path! Log a bit damp!

2nd find for the day, still waiting for flight, log a bit wet, didn’t have a bag to put it in, hopefully next cacher more organised than me. TFTC

Neat hide. Found while on a quick wander up the track. TFTC.

A quick stroll down the path for this one, and not too hard to find. Didn't see any fuchsias though. Beautiful bush. Thanks for the cache.

Quick grab while waiting for the plane. Pays to remember which street you came in on

Found it in dark

Coordinates are a little off! Hints and messages helped ️

Epic

walking back from the ferry terminal having spent the day on Ulva island, I stopped to do the fuchsia walk cache. Found easily, but forgot my pen so I have taken a photo. Thanks very much.

Looking looking looking…. Was took a while to find but so good when you cross over it

Working on the island. Good walk after tea. Thanks

Our second cache on Stewart Island. We enjoyed the Fuchsia Walk, TFTC! 1 TB dropped off.

We came over on the ferry for a day trip. This is our second find on Stewart Island.
It might be a rainy but its still gorgeous.

Today, TEMBO! and I made it to Stewart Island. We went to the Fuchsia Walk. Wow this is a rainforest and it partly rained.

Thanks to pipedream for hiding and maintaining the cache.

My coordinance was well out but found it on the clues. TFTC

Trouvée our first find on the Rakiura track ! TFTC

Did not find it

Lovely little cache. The log is a bit damp though, I think it needs to be kept in a sealable plastic bag.

Nice

Nice and easy find for our last full day in NZ. TFTC

Thanks a lot.
Good hidden.

A lovely stroll on our first evening.

My first visit to Stewart Island to complete the PWGT and go to Ulva Island as well as explore Oban..

Today is Ulva Island! What a special place... Now back on Stewart Island, I came back via the Fuschia walk. I had to wait for a couple of muggles to pass over before doing a u-turn to collect this cache and drop off a TB.

TFTC Whitemoose_, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 8 find(s) of 9 today, making this find #3786

Found it! Unfortunately I forgot to bring a pen but thanks for the cache!

Thanks for the cache. MPLC. Facile

Encore merci !

very easy find

Tftc no pen so couldn't write in the log

Tftc

Nice short walk while getting ready for the longer 3-day walk starting tomorrow. . Thank you for the hide!

Probably the most southern cache I've found so far. TFTC.

Tftc

Great hide. Was a bit off where the gps was sending us (8m) but the clue was super useful.

Nice hide. Took some time to grab it when the kakas weren’t looking

I found this cache while on vacation in New Zealand Thank you for the experience Greetings from Germany

TFTC. I’ve walked this many times but never noticed the geocache until
now. (The logbook is a little damp)

This was a lovely walk down from the new helipad. A fantail was pleased we were disturbing small flying insects for it to catch.
+ a FP and a marble, - nothing.

Found this nice walk while exploring on my way back to our accommodation after grabbing some supplies from the 4square. TFTC.

This walk starts from outside our motel and it has a cache on it so how could we resist.
What a lovely, peaceful place. We enjoyed the sound of birdsong and all the nicely decorated traps along the way.
Once at GZ the cache was quickly located and we loved the inventive way it was hidden.
Thanks pipedream for bringing us here.

Found it

Greetings from the U.S. I'm here for a couple of days to see some cool birds. What a beautiful walk this was to find the cache. TFTC

What, more steps, said Jan! We walked past too as I wasnt looking at the gps but we came back and found the hide. Lots of birds in the bush here. A couple of tui swooped me at speed as we exited the track. Nearly as bad as magpies! Tftc.

Beautiful spot. Thanks

Lots of onion weed and great place much thanks to the original owner

All credit goes to pipedream who placed this cache in a lovely bush walk, a fabulous legacy. Thoughts of dropping some TBs from my swag bag bound for an Aussie Mega soon...yeah nah just a visit will do

Ruru-NZ and I are on Stewart Island doing the Geotour caches as a priority but any others found are a bonus for me. Followed on from the other track and doing Forest giant. Didn’t see any bird life on this side but heard them.

Found, we didn’t have a pen though, photo for evidence
