I looked in the obvious spot, expected an easy find but it wasn't there. The area is beatiful and I had lovely walk along the waterfront.
I'm suspecting this one was muggled.

Nice wee reserve. Good easy find on night cycle ride in area. Will have to come back during daylight hours for a good look around area. TFTC
A nice walk, but the cache was difficult to find. A lot of muggles. But we found it in the end, couldn't sign though: No pen. Thank you!
Cheers for the hide

Time for a daily cache. Had just been at the gym, and run some errands, and I had the option of either going for my cache now, or on my way to the airport later.
Didn't exactly want to deal with the stress of going with time pressure on needing to leave for airport, so I just went now.
Decided on this, because why not, and went for it.
The phone was being funny under the trees, and my GPS is still in my fiancees car which he has left at work for the last week, and not picked up yet, so ended up taking a guess as to where the cache was while phone was still showing 20m away under the trees!
Luckily the cache was in the obvious place, and I was soon on way home to finally have some lunch/breakfast!!
Consec caching day # 808

Today's walk was a12 km loop round part of Cashmere with the main aim of finding the Wherigos I had to wait for a muggle family to move on before I could grab the cache. It's lucky that there is something interesting to read there.

Another part of the neighbourhood I've never seen before - but such a nice little walk under the trees.
A nice easy find, without any mucking in the bushes.

Nice short wee walk, pretended to read board then began to search for the cache!

Wow, I didn't know the history of this part of the city. A tremendous feat to fly out solo from England. It's difficult enough doing solo flights throughout NZ with the weather and terrain to plan around and consider! Found the cache easily.
Today I rode my bicycle through Christchurch. I was able to discover many beautiful spots and find geochaches. Thank you to each of the owners for the hide geocaches.
This was not here last time I looked but it is now. Finally my 300th cache after being stuck on 299 for weeks.
Spent this lovely day driving around Christchurch finding caches! We stopped and walked for a bit finding a couple of the caches in the area. Thanks!
Mrs Moose was occupied with the young 'un so I took the other two for a walk. They had a great time with the ducks, watching the weeds in the water and finding this little container. Interesting read too, bonus. Cheers
Nice quick spot but a wait for a few muggles to pass before signing and replace. Lovely area I have never been to before. TFTC
Found the container on the ground (at least out of sight), so placed it where the hint suggests. As per a previous log, the logbook needs replacing. TFTC
I could not find it. My GPS took me straight to a place that fitted the clue but no success.
TFTC My son saw it straight away lying on the ground in the open so put it back under where we think it was meant to be.
Found it with two mates after school. 
Raining but luckily I found it within seconds, thanks to the hint.

Night caching after dropping ny daughter off to St John Cadets I decided to investigate this one. With headlamp on I ventured forth.....not dodgy at all lol found the cache quickly and read up on board. Tftc
Found this one some weeks ego, when I started my NZ-trip. Now - the 01. of may - I'm on the way back to Europe and have to wait for my flight from Sydney to Dubai. That's the chance to log.
Thanks for the cache and thanks a lot for traveling this fantastic country ..... although the weather wasn't very kind to us!!!
!!
Hope to come again!!!!!!!!!

Quick find while in the area to hunt for one we couldn't find when we first started out. Bit of rain but the ducks were happy. Tftc
This one has been on the to do list for ages and finally an opportunity to take the family for a wander through this reserve. An easy find to start the day. TFTC #56
#56Great little hiding spot. Got cache without stopping to think thanks to help of the hint. Quickly signed the log and read the sign while I waited for some walkers to pass. TFTC!
Our first time along this great walkway. Very busy today. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC!
Great wee walk by the river.
Nice & easy cache for the kids to grab. Cheers 4TC.

I'd been visitng the nearby cache & saw this was around, as well. How interesting! TFTC.
5813. This was missing in action on our last visit but we got it this time. Watched 4 year old practise his mountain biking skills, supervised by his Dad. Thanks for the cache. We have visited this area many times since starting geocaching. Rodney and Iris.
A nice little spot, but busy with the dog walkers this evening! Found with Mr Fitch +1! TFTC
Decided to have a wander through this pleasant little reserve and checked to see what caches were nearby. Discretely signing the log on the riverbank when I saw a family hunting around GZ. Not too difficult to figure out what they were up to! However their search was initially in vain as I had removed the complete cache momentarily. Replaced it for them to find, difficult as that was!
Nice to meet you all, Bigglesponies! I see you found quite a few today!

We got to GZ and started to look in the obvious spot. Then we heard the familiar cry of "Are you looking for something"?. The gentleman standing a short distance away was in the process of signing the log! Nice to meet you Tbird53.
