Unfortunately couldnt find either looked around the area for a while and further in still no luck
There was a bit of horsing around here for me! GPS had me looking a few metres away, and there was a campervan parked nearby that I was worried could have people in watching me, so I was looking out of view of them at first. I got it in the end, signed and replaced with no sign of life from the campervan so think all is well 
Should have found it much faster really! TFTC!
Should have found it much faster really! TFTC!We checked every single rock but were too weak to lift it there was a crack in one of the rocks but there’s nothing in the hole
Found with Ralph, Kozjah, and OBS. Ralph held out on us for a while but we found his secret cache.
Found with aarone215 and ObnoxiousSpaceCat after making friends with the little lion hiding in the grass
Found with aarone215 and kozjah. Made this way harder than it needed to be. Enjoyed the bridge troll!
Found it after a couple of minutes looking in what we thought were the obvious places. TFTC
After a good look, and some pondering it was an easy find and I can didn't even need to get dirty!

Couldn't find the cache but I found a very friendly cat who I did try and qui to where abouts the location was. He didn't seem particularly intrested in helping...
Found at last, had to wait for muggles to go past - paper still a bit damp but able to write on - TFTC
Finally found it...... Had a feeling which end it had to be..... Just need to make sure it was the right stone first.... TFTC..... And can now turn my frown into a smilie...... Shame the cacheletts went home this morning....could have used them on this one.....
One of those caches where you spend 30 minutes looking, need a change of clothes now and a shower but shouldn't have needed to get so dirty, it was easy in the end lol
Great find took a wee bit of searching but once I found it realised I should of found it quicker Good hide
Spent so long looking the one place we hadn’t looked and there it was hahaha easy once you know where it is haha
Spent about 10 minutes looking for this, but in the end should have taken maybe 2 minutes. Found in a spot where I had previously had a ‘look’. Some previous logs helped confirm where this should be. TFTC justmeg.
My second caching trip of the day, but this time I have RG1972 in tow. We have a couple of hours in the afternoon spare so we decide to come out here as it’s reasonably handy to home base, and a bit of an extension from my Aidanfield trip earlier this morning.
Not much to report. A few caches with full logs or wet ones, so we added some RITR paper there. Thanks for the caches all COs.

Located with Ricardinho
A fair bit of hunting to locate this one, but we got there in the end
We had a couple of hours to spare this afternoon, so RNZ took me on a geo recon. We headed to Wigram & grabbed a few caches around the area

Success! Thought I was going to have to log dnf on this 1 as well and then 1 final spot drew my attention. Paper was a little damp inside the bag...managed to dry it off but bag is still damp inside...might want swapping at some point but can still write on paper
TFTC!

After having a hunt round and being maliciously smooched by the resident tiger tabby, we came away empty handed, but covered in fur..... Will try again another day....
Looked behind lots of big stones but eventually found it under the most obvious object. The paper is way too wet to write on unfortunately. Tftc
Found thank you there were no stones so have placed some there also the bag was left open so paper is wet will come back and fix next time we are in the area
Couldn't find this one, saw a pretty neat place for one, but wasn't there. I'll try again later.
Relatively easy this time as I looked under the most obvious structure not the boulders where the GPS wanted me. TFTC!!
It took a little time (but not too long) to locate this among the various possibilities. But the sistema was completely full of water! Luckily the log was on plastic paper. We dried it off, added a signature, and for good measure put the log in a plastic bag. TFTC!
Lockdown is now level two so I'm enabling my caches again. Please use hand sanitiser thanks.
Due to NZ being in lockdown for EVERYONE, tourist or resident alike, ALL logs will be deleted until the lockdown period is over and this cache has ben enabled again. Stay home, be safe people.
Dropped my travel bug. Hope it can have some fun travelling around NZ before taking off for Europe when travel restrictions are lifted!!
We found it after looking everywhere and it’s not under a rock like anyone said
Poured the water out before I could get to the log. Lucky the cheap pens I use seem to write on absolutely anything. Left it sitting on the rocks to keep it up out of the water. TFTC # 14,411
Came back and found easily. Container was full of water have emptied out, could probably use a plastic bag but had non on me.
A clear sky and good coords had me right on GZ and then I made a quick find 
Cache was full of water but the log was in good condition. Thanks justmeg.

After working in Timaru this week it's time to head back to Christchurch. Tried looking for this one again as staying closeby with a friend...sadly still a dnf

Didn't notice this one when driving home from another success find early this morning.
Headed back this afternoon with Ms. cacher, to the GZ.
Ms. C found a suspicious place but I failed to reach, so she ducked down and reached the rock, and then the cache.
That was a nice resting place indeed, by the foot bridge, with bushes around. I can hear people walking and talking nearby but can't see them. A good natural stealth.

Quick find while wandering in southern Christmas on an airfield that is now suburbia....nice, tftc
Doh.. out with 4 year old and doing really well but this one has us stumped..
Out and about this morning and while some of the family went shopping the rest went off to find some nearby caches. True to the description this was a quick easy find, aided a little as the cache was partly visible. Used the convenient bench to sign the log and returned the cache as found but with a little better covering. Were just heading back to the car when the rest of the crew called to say that they were finished and ready to be picked up. TFTC justmeg.
Took a bit of horsing around to locate this (typically started in wrong place). TFTC & bringing me to this area.
TFTC. Like a previous logger I tried this before and it was there this time in the spot it wasn't last time! Glad to find it today.

Second visit to this spot. Didn't feel like I looked enough the previous time to log a DNF.
Magically, the cache was at the exact spot I was looking before. The kinda obvious spot.
Oh, [Horsin' Around](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1d1S58P0nc) was such a fun show!
