Logs
Found with Gazania Rigens as per her log.Lovely trees. We have one of these in our garden and its only about 10 years old. Rather daunting to see how VERY big it may get! TFTC
My phone couldn't decide where exactly GZ was, so I had to check several possible hosts. Soon Zouave joined me, but it was me who eventually spotted the cache. That should have been a much quicker find. Then we explored the botanic gardens, taught the cockatoo there a bad word and enjoyed the many flowers, ferns and trees. TFTC!
tmann421 and I are on our way south to attend the MEGA, picking up a few caches on the way.We enjoyed all the caches found and thank the cache owners for their efforts in maintaining these for us to findLog signed tm/ww NZTFTC
Heading South today, and stopped by near here to find this cache. Missed it on the first pass, but soon spotted and signed, TFTC
This was very fun to find! It took a while because the dot kept moving. It was not camouflaged but it blends in nicely. First one in NZ! Brewer 3/5 finders team!!
Easy quick park and grab on our way back North after a lovely couple of days in Oamaru. Cache in good Nick. TFTC.
Hi drawpThis geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.RegardsTheCoddiwompler
Too many branches have been chopped off. Obviously owner not interested in checking this out.
We were docked in Timaru New Zealand for the day on our ship - Holland America's Volendam. We walked all around the city and south along a trail along the ocean. We wound up with 15 caches and a complete Lab on the day on our 11-mile walk.Thank you to drawp for 4 of the caches, Dups16 and RAYZR for 3 each, and to the other 5 COs for their efforts and for the other 5 caches.Thank you also to the Lab creator for that adventure.#####################This Cache: 30 minutes of searching every limb many times did not wind up with a success. We are adding our names to the DNF list and also putting it on our Watch List to see how others do going forward.
Walked right round the tree but couldn't find anything tethered. Beautiful spot though, and picked a good day to go to Botanic Gardens.
I think this one is missing. I've seen pics of previoudms finders and it's just not there anymore.
Did not find it nan thinks it's been taken or the little branch that it was on has been choped off
Went around in circles for a while until gps settled down and then I spotted it. Blends in well with the surroundings. Tftc
A beautiful park, thanks for hiding a cache here.
TFTC thanks to the owner for hiding and maintaining this cache and best regards from Germany

We regularly stop in these Botanic Gardens for lunch, 365 m away. Today we had a stroll after lunch, spotted the cache (had expected a disguise actually), discovered thd toilets by the playground were locked, revisited the aviary ... no statue of the queen- just a monument eh?
Touring the beautiful gardens and happy to see a couple geocaches inside the area.
Thx 4 the fun!

Found while visiting the Timaru area for the weekend. Impressed with the size of the nearby hospital for a provincial town; TFTC
Beautiful sunny morgen. First find of the day. Let's see how many more we will find today.
Unfortunately we forgot to bring a pen so decided to just take a picture of the cache it was so ovious to us but not to muggles TFTC.
Not tethered so could easily fall to ground. Have replaced at head height. Colour blends in well. Thanks for the find
Had a rough idea of where it could be but too many young prying eyes nearby to be able to do a proper inconspicuous search. Will try again next time.
Kia pai tou koutou Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Ka pai to māua hikoi i muri i te pikiniki o te toenga kai. Ahakoa kore he puāwai he pai ki ahau tēnei māra. I whai au tētahi ara porowhita na te mea, ētahi wā, he koretake taku waea pūkoro. A te wā, i kite te mea e au. Kī tonu te pepa ki roto. I whakahokia tētahi pepa hou anō e au. Kia ora.
In the area so grabbing a few caches along the way.
Checked into my motel, as I have a bit of work to do here tomorrow. Came for a walk as Id been in the car quite a long time today. All good here, although the log was full, but plenty of space to add my name. Didnt have my caching kit on me to replace the log sorry,
TFTC drawp, the cache was found in good order
Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 7 find(s) of 8 today, making this find #3426
