Amazing find. That was great fun.

Found it eventually! For us the coordinates had us 14m out. Signed and replaced. These coordinates may help someone? S 42 35.185 E 172 50.220. TFTC!

Found while doing the sculpture walk. Nice spot for a stroll.

GPS bounces around quite a bit so don't be shy in expanding the search area. TFTC

Now this took a bit of finding gps was all over the show great to find and discover trackable thats not t be removed tftc

TFTC Found with andyfreya Coordinates bouncing round heaps. Discovered a trackable that needs to stay at this location.

This one took a while longer to find, and we needed an old log with photo to help us out.But we found it.TFTC, dky za ke!

Coordinates not great but go through activities and look at old pictures TFTC

Tftc, nice quick find before the pools. Dropped a trackable that I found in a spring clean

Had a bit of fun trying to work out how to get there with the maps paths not matching the actual, quick find once there, TFTC

TFTC

10m left of gps.

Just not there

Coordinates a bit out, but didn't take us too long to find. Tftc

Tftc. My sisters 2nd find

Thanks, but 18 metres away from where it says it should be.

Found, good walk and look for it, M. Irish1601

A lil further than the marker but tfsc

Not here its been taking

Good little hide and you definitely need the help of past logs to find this one. Added a bigger logbook to replace the sheet of paper along with a plastic bag to keep it from any water. TFTC

tftc and to the other helpful GCers with useful tips. Use their images if you want increased help

No rock but great find! Had a few people walk by so had to hide and stay quiet (tried to lol), great location and hiding spot. Thank you!

Well hidden, no rock. U gotta read the hint really well

Thanks for the photos in logs Theres no rock

Found it took us a little while to find as the coordinates were off but glad we found it !! TFTC.

Found it! Our hardest search so far. GPS is off by roughly 30 meters. We used other photos and logs to assist us to find.

Found it with the help of some previous logs and new coordinates. TFTC

Good spot

After a decent search and looking through recent logs we eventually found it. Such a nice walk through the forest. TFTC

Needed photo hint of prior logs to find due to GPSr having me 20metres offTFTF

Found with my brother (nzzazh) and my aunt and uncle

Found while out with my sister (pinkg1rl) and my aunt and uncle

Cute ... found it

Co ords a bit off so followed previous log posts and pics. Great cache visiting from Australia. We all love hanmer Springs. Was a awesome and tricky find.

Lots of muggles

Thank you! Great find for the kids

Nice spot, good choice

Tftc

After reading some previous logs, along with corrected coordinates I made a quick find. kiwitonita post was very helpful, TFTC

Track was very busy with families today for the long weekend, but manage to dash off track and grab this one. Coords a little off for me, but hint and previous logs helped.

Took a bit of finding! But got there in the end!

We had time to look for this, which is just as well as KR couldn't remember it from 10 years ago. The foto from kiwitonita saved the day. Gave it a new log.Thank you Chch Falcon

Took a bit to find as the coordinates are out. Just backtrack along the track and you should see the stumps.we left a track able that we picked up in Bluff.

Found

Found it while on a stroll on the sculpture track. TFTC

Cool

Didn't find it this time. But didn't have a lot of time to keep looking

Found 3 times today so obviously is not too hard. I averaged the waypoint over 6-7 minutes and found it to be at S42 31.177' E172 50.229' which is 19n NE of the stated location. About 10-12m from the path. Under a large, steeply angled tree stump. Needs new log paper please.

Found! Easter 2024

Our first geo cash

Cache has been stolen

Out walking the sculpture trial and grabbed the TBs that wanted to go to Europe, TFTC

Our 2nd day on a New Zealand adventure. Little T found this one. Grabbed a TB to take to Canada when we head home. TFTC

Needed quite a few photo hint to find this one.25m NE of coordinates and about 10m in from the path.

Took a while to find it as it was 30m out

Thanks Ellie for the cache. As per other logs, coords are about 20m out. Found thanks to photos and hints in other logs.

We think we found the right place but unfortunately unsuccessful in locating the cache

There's nothing so satisfying as an amble along an interesting and shaded pathway, having a good ole poke around at playful intervals! Can't be beat. Good sized cache. So sorry we didn't have our spare paper with us today, but there are plenty of gaps in the sides of the log meanwhile. TFTC

19meters away we found it. Thanks to the other cachers. Next person, bring some paper for a new log as it's full.

Found this on the second pass through the path. Read some hints and then got it. Gps is off, obviously. Thanks.

Found thanks to prev spoiler tips and photos - not at GPS spot

thanks for those who left helpful info in hints

Pretty spot !

Location is off but easy find once you use the hint !

Woohoo..... Was a tricky find

What a lovely little walk, and I completely overlooked the multi so Ill have to come back. The coordinates for this one were a little off but finally found the cache. Its a nice big container but just a log inside so it would be great if others can bring swag for the kids, TFTC!

Our first cache!Paper log is full.

Bit of searching back up the trail from coordinates, but found it thanks to photos. Tftc! Def needs new log fyi

found it

GoodHevsMsEvs comment has good directions. Log needs replacing

Very hard and not so small

Find it after a bit of searching..TFTC

Found after a search with MsEvs Logsheet is very full, supplemental sheets would be useful.

Followed hint to get 16m NE and found a trunk

Needed the hints in the log but found it after a bit of searching. Log needs replacing as its full.

I didn't have to to look hard

Thanks for the cache

Difficult find for us beginners. Used the hint and a photo.

Coordinates were 15m off. So dont get fooled. Spoiler pictures may also fool you . TFTC !

Found with WhistlingKite. Took a little while and used a spoiler photo to help. Is under a leaning cut tree stump.

Taking a walk with my daughter and doing some caching on the way. Quick find here, tftc!

10:00 odloveno.TFTC!!!

Either I was at the wrong place, or the cache was.

As mr9 and Dad went biking with friends, I decided to go on a walk and grab three caches. This was the first. Of course many muggles around, a first group approaching and a couple filming pine cones just where I should leave the path. After fixing my shoes for quite a while, I was able to dive into the forest. I looked at the hint pictures and found both options but no cache container.

unfortunately did not find this one

Approx 16m NE from the coordinates.

Gotta go off the beaten track to find it but was pretty tricky to find. Gotta go digging. Needs a new sheet soon as its almost out of room

Troublesome!!!! Next time perhaps with a compass

Enjoyed a walk around the sculptures. Stopped to find this one on the way. Co ordinates were about 20m off for me but the cache was soon found thanks to the spoiler photos. TFTC.

50m off from the geo zone cash was sittng out in the middle of the forest and had a bunch of damp papers in it.Cleared out everything but what looked like the log paper. Could use another one, and a Ziploc/new box. There's a crack!Tftc! What a beautiful area.

Thank you great hide

Great find thanks

Thanks for the challenge. Took a bit of a look but managed to locate it using some pics! Good excuse to do the walk too!

Eerst niet kunnen vinden. Na het lezen van wat logjes toch weer terug gegaan. De cordinaten weken 16 meter af.

Took a we bit

Wonderful game on the sculpture park

Was a little tricky because if the crazy strong winds recently but we got there. Took a bit but thanks for the fun!!

Whew, that was a tricky one!! Thank you so much, it was a great hiding place, pretty easily accessible and fun to find.

Thank you for the cache

Took a bit of searching! FouNd it by looking for the sEtting sun and searching a bit further. Thanks!!
