I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Spotted straight away. Another kind of a surprise though, probably not much more life in this one, being on a power box. TFTC

This was the closest cache to my previous find so I headed here without any idea about what to expect. I soon saw the container but did not realise it to begin with. After checking other places and finding nothing, I checked what I saw earlier and discovered it could well be a geocache; not that there was anything to identify it as such. I then checked my GPSr and saw the initials in the log match the previous online entry which satisfied me that I had found what I came here for.
Another easy find in this series.
Thanks....Starting to rain now so better walk a bit faster!

Having a wee road trip south today. Breaking the journey with a treasure hunt. Thanks for the caches. Very difficult paper to write on
Picking up a few drive bys now the rain seems to have cleared before going back to our apartment for dinner. No problems here. TFTC
*Cache easily spotted from carpark. In proper hide and not near any dangerous cables. All good here.*

Found 18 Oct 15 A short walk to the hotel from where I lived close by in a previous life. Crikey a few steps closer and something didn't look quite right. Knew from the knowledge gained through finding plenty of local caches that with an accurate hint the micro cache would be an easy find without having to look somewhere else that may cause harm and distress. The cache was clean and dry with plenty of room on the logbook. The little one was put back exactly where it was found and obvious to an experienced cacher. That's a well made logbook and it fit like a glove. TFTC Gemopal2

We found it and we didn’t think it was a geocache just some litter but we couldn’t open it ( or it wasn’t meant to be opened.

In Invercargill for a ten pin bowling tournament, had time to fine some caches. Thanks Gemopal2 for the cache.
Dinner at the place on the corner and so had to make a try for this one as it was so close. Quickly found in the dark. TFTC
In town for a working bee, so grabbing a few more caches on the way to 2000 by the end of the year.
Not so quiet here on a Sat evening as the other two, but patience paid off and GZ was soon muggle free for long enough to do what needed to be done.
Thanks for the smilie.

All quiet here today so a nice easy find. Such a lovely day to be out and about. TFTC
I had time to find a few more caches this morning before I had to head to the airport and home. Once I'd let a muggle walk past and the coast was clear it was a quick find. TFTC, Biggles.
#14626. Time for one more cache before returning to base for a coffee. TFTC.
Found with StreetWalker on day 4 of our road trip to the Oamaru Geofest, taking the scenic route, of course. Today we are caching around Invercargill, with a trip down to Bluff in the afternoon when the weather improved.
We lived in Melbourne St when I was a child, so we stopped by this nearby cache before doing a drive by of the old house. TFTC.

#4568. I have been down south on a work trip but not getting much opportunity to go geocaching. Decided to take a day of leave and rent a car so I could explore some of the caches hidden on the outskirts of Invercargill. Nice warm sunny day as well which makes for a pleasant caching experience. Quite a high muggle area but quickly spied the cache soon after I started looking. Walked away to sign the log and replaced where found. Thanks for the cache Gemopal2.
Omg I got this one .. a bit shocked given it's dark and I felt like a total criminal (in me bright pink pants!) Thanks!
Spotted a likely spot as we approached and sure enough, we had a hand on it quickly. Found with AorakiSheep
Felt a bit obvious here so we were happy to make quick find and move on. Found with debsnz
A sneaky hide, but quckly found. Cheers
Day three of our Easter holiday to Invercargill.
Thanks to all of the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Grabbing a few caches while Mr i-got it has a quick visit to the museum before we move on.
In the right spot but couldn't find cache, perhaps it's gone as the last couple of posts said same thing
Cute Cache!! 
Pretty bad when the only device that is working is a Nuvi. Isquba managed anyway.

Out for a good morning walk on New Years Day. Not many others out at first, but after a while people were awakening.
Another easy find!
Greets from Sweden!
Tack och bock!

Went for an early morning walk to keep the Activity Tracker happy. Found this one along the way. TFTC
Filling in some time while I wait for the takeaways. Spotted on approach - quite a neat hide really.
Ordered dinner then wandered out to find this before the food came. The wine was waiting my return.
