Motupōhue (Southland) Bluff, South Island, New Zealand
By TheWanglers on 02-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4W94F

decided because the weather was ok today i would ride back to here, nice weather didn't last long, is that normal, well the moped didn't like the climb but it got me here, view is probably amazing on a good day but still saw a lot today, even snow on the far hills, tftc

The aim was to hire a bike in invercargill and ride out to bluff, but we decided to drive and just ride some of the way later. We did a quick loop walk out here in the days leading up to our big Kepler track hike. Before heading home and after a yummy lunch of seafood chowder we went up to this viewpoint. Thanks for the info and bringing us here.

Arrived at Gz on a cold , blustery winds and rainy day.Gathered answers as best as we can with those weather conditions. answers sent to CO. TFTEC

I had collected the information some time ago for this cache but never logged it. So I went up to the top again today. It was very windy and exposed here but what a great view. We had some fun with walking up and down the path due to the strong wind, one side was a struggle into a headwind and the other side you were pushed very quickly. It was very amusing. This is a very interesting area, and it is easy to forget the major volcanic activity that must have been around at the time to create this beautiful landscape. TFTC.

**This is a write not for now to keep my finds in order. Once I've done the homework I'll update this log. **I'm down from Paihia for the Dunedin Mega event. We did a lot of caching around there between Friday and Sunday. Then on Monday we went down to Invercargill. The plan was 1 day coming down picking up puzzles as we headed south. Tuesday was doing the Big I and the penguin series. Fortunately we also had time to collect Cliften Swing Bridge and Monkey Island. Today is Curio Bay, Slope Point and Bluff as well as a few in Invercargill. Thursday was driving to Middlemarch for the old Donovan cache while collecting a lot of solved puzzles on the way and generally doing most of Middlemarch. Friday we headed up to Christchurch where I was going to spend the weekend with my cousin before flying home on Sunday. We had a great day today despite having to wait out a few showers. Our initial plan was to do Bluff first but the tide was right to go and do the Curio Bay earthcaches and Slope Point first. We then headed down to Bluff. It was very windy here today and we got blown about heading up to the lookout. I was very appreciative of my wet weather gear keeping me dry. Thanks for the earthcache **No oyster was harmed in Bluff by this geocacher. **

A plan was hatched quite a while ago when the Dunedin Mega was announced to come over to the South Island again.I have only been to New Zealand twice before and I loved the South Island.So a chance to come back for a Mega was a no brainer for me.Everything was booked and I flew in last Saturday week ago after a bit of a delay.So now for a couple of days around Invercargill.So Day 11 of my Mega NZ trip begins and Im on my own again so Im just picking out random caches that I had put on my list.No rain but everything was very wet under foot and I loved walking through long grass (Not)After finding a big I around the country side now to concentrate on a few others.I headed down to Bluff to spend a few hours down there and check out the views.Made my way up to the Bluff Hill lookout and what fantastic views from up here in all directions.Did some reading and went for a walk around the area as well.Thanks TheWanglers TFTEC.

After getting the geocache. I made my way up to the lookout. Beautiful up here.

Great to see some sunshine on our extended post-Mega trip. Found with MummyPenny in a fresh gusty wind but with glorious views. Answers sent. Thanks TheWanglers.

Wild and windy and fantastic views, big enough to show the earth is round.Answers sent.Thanks TheWanglers

Now that the Mega is over, Isopeda, barb2e and I decided to head south to explore Southland. We are out to get a number and a variety of caches including old ones wherever possible.The weather is certainly much better than in Dunedin. This is one of the caches that we found and answers will be sent. TFTEC

CaptainVimes and I have crossed the pond to attend the Geo Toroa mega in Dunedin and tour around the South Island for two weeks.Amazing views from the lookout.Thanks TheWanglers and happy caching

The citys quiet enough youd think it was sleeping, but I know better. Ankh-Morpork doesnt sleepit lies in wait.I swear the fog's thicker tonight. Carrot says its "atmospheric." I say it's nature's way of helping people sneak up behind you. Saw something skitter down an alley just now. Could be a rat, could be Nobby scrounging for loose change. Probably best not to know.Then there's the usual suspects: the Guilds doing their rounds, all polite and "authorized." A "legal" thief is about as trustworthy as the sausages down at Hargas. Still, it beats cleaning up the mess when theyre "unauthorized."Only a few more hours till dawn. Which just means Ill be seeing everything clearly for the first time, and trust me, thats rarely an improvement.

We are four ladies from Sweden on visit in New Zealand. We log as TULP (tigertassen, ursus67, lnganfans and pidjas). Today we took the tour from Dunedin to Lands end in Bluff. A long journey but much to see.A big thank you to CO for the cache.

#4053 Today is day 24 of my geocaching vacation in New Zealand. I'm driving the scenery route from Invercargill to Dunedin for [Geo Toroa (Dunedin, NZ)](https://coord.info/GCA7ZHD), the Mega this weekend and finding geocaches along the way. Found it! TheWanglers, thank you for the cache! -crystaloops from Taipei, Taiwan on October 24, 2024 @ 13:24:59 [GC4W94F] Motuphue (Southland) was a D1.5/T1.5 Not chosen Earthcache at the time of finding.

Four Swedish ladies driving around in NZ looking for caches. We found this. Ursus67 send the answer from us all. Thank you for the beautiful views.

D var det dags fr lite ventyr. Resan gr till Sydney i Australien och sedan vidare till Christchurch och Dunedin p Nya Zeeland .P resan ker Tigertassen, jag sjlv, ursus67, Lnganfans och Pidjas, vilket gr att vi loggar under det gemensamma namnet "Tulp". Tanken r att vi innan vi ker hemt ska ha beskt ett Megaevent, Geo Toroa.Hlsningar frn Sverige, sdra Lappland Then it was time for a little adventure. The trip goes to Sydney in Australia and then on to Christchurch and Dunedin in New Zealand .On the trip are, Tigertassen, myself, ursus67, Lnganfans and Pidjas go, which means that we log under the common name "Tulp". The idea is that before we go home we should have visited a Megaevent, Geo Toroa. Greetings from Sweden, southern Lapland

Zouave and I drove into the low clouds here, but we managed to get a few glimpses down to the sea. I've sent the answers for both of us. TFTC!

Found amongst the clouds with Gazania Rigens who has sent our answers.I include a pretty picture of our blue Toyota hire car and some of the visiting precipitation, reminiscent of our home in Scotland ??TFTC

Very blustery day today- we found the answers needed then headed for some shelter in the bush. Stunning view out towards Rakiura, we could see the rain on the water with a rainbow through it answers sent. TFTC

Visited the area today from Trangi before heading across to the Island. Limited visibility as low clouds. Answers have been sent to CO.Thanks for the new knowledge gained.Many thanks

Logging in anticipation of correct answers.Found alongside Sunflowers26 during a weekend in Invercargill. With a focus on Earthcaches this month, we decided to aim for some of the local ones, starting here. We probably didn't get the best views due to the weather (cold, wet, windy) but it was well worth driving up here - I enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't think I'd ever laid eyes on Rakiura before, even though I've been to Bluff once or twice. Also a nice little learning experience with the Earthcache. Cheers!

Nice visit to the bluff and a little walk up the hill.Learned something new Thank you for the cache

Greetings from BrisbAne Australia. We are on a 2 week holiday around the south island and today we travelled from TeAnau to visit The Bluff. What an amazing place this is. We were fortunate to have the best day ever with a sunny warm day. We were able to take our time and enjoy the view with no muggles around.Earth caches do take you to the best places and thank you for taking us here.

Visited with Dali87 within our amazing trip around New Zealand. Thanks for nice cache ....................................................................... TB Koumesovo geopivo DDEV7M

We arrived in Invercargill today, flying in from Auckland. Tomorrow we fly to Stewart Island for some tramping and geocaching. So today we drove to Bluff as we have never been here before and there were a few caches that I wanted to find including this one. It was windy and rainy when we arrived but the sun soon came out, so had a reasonable view. I have sent my answers to the CO. Thanks for the interesting EC

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 57 - Invercargill, Southland - Te Anau, Fjordland, South Island, Nov Zland (asi 250 km) Uvtalo m slunen rno a 15C a motorki vude kolem. Southern Scenic Route je zejm vyhledvan nejen turisty. Po sndani jsem polovila pr keek ve mst a stavila se v zednsk li na WC a pak jela do Bluff, nejjinjho msteka Jinho ostrova. Tady cesta kon a zem taky. Dl se d jen lod na mal ostrovy patc jet k Zlandu a pak u jen na Jin pl. Na konci silnice byla keka Konec zem a tu jsem nemohla vynechat. Bylo tu mraky lid a hlavn tch motork, ale ke byla schovan v zeleni pmo na pobe, tak probhla trocha akrobacie po pobench kamenech a mm ji. Dal dleit ke byla naopak na kopci nad obc, kde je mal rozhledna. A nahoru se jede autem, ale star ke z ledna 2001 je pkn schovan ve velmi vzrostl zeleni, take opt boj s prodou. Ale nebylo to tak hrozn jako na Mt. Cargill. Vrtila jsem se do Invercargill, nakoupila v pekrn sladk i slan kole a toasty a vyrazila na dal st Southern Scenic Route, kter vedla jet kus po pobe Southlandu a pak se stoila do vnitrozem a dojela jsem u do oblasti Fjordland. Taky se hned na obzoru objevily docela vysok hory. Ne jako ty zaoblen zelen kopeky, co byly dosud vude kolem, ale masvn piat skalnat hory. Cel den bylo ndhern kolem 17C a slunce a v horskm dol pak naveer a 21C. Proda vude krsn. Jela jsem kolem nkolika jezer a mokad, pes ky, kde jsou jednoproud mostky, i mal osady a provoz tu byl u minimln. Cestou jsem lovila keky a dky nim navtvila teba starou kolu z 19.stolet i pkn star etzov most. Do Te Anau u velkho jezera jsem dojela a po 19.hodin, nakoupila vodu a colu, odlovila 2 keky a jela na motel. Je to m dl t po celm dni jet veer zalogovat keky a nachystat si dal na cestu. Jsem u docela unaven a potebovala bych asi dal tden nkde na tropickm ostrov, ale na to u nezbv as. Cestovn je prost krsn dina.In the morning I found a few caches in the city and then went to Bluff to the land end and to get an old cache on the hill. Again, a bit of a struggle with nature, but not so terrible. If you hit the right path, it works. Then I continued along the Southern Scenic Route around the coast and caches and reached the lake in Te Anau in Fjordland. Along the way, I saw a lot of beautiful places like the old chain bridge or the old school. I had a nice day. Thanks to everyone for the caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.

Dieser Cache konnte heute erfolgreich geloggt werden.Danke an den owner fr's legen und pflegenTFTCSchmerzbefreitBeautiful view!!

Did the observations on a very windy day. Good use of the local stone here. Submitted answers to the CO. Great views here today of a wild windswept sea!

Just sent the answers, managed a good view before the rain we could see made it our way! Tftc This photo taken just down from the view point itself.

After traveling around Australia with Oopie for 7 weeks, we have now been traveling with the camper in New Zealand for 4 weeks. Along the way we will of course also visit various types of caches in beautiful places, including this one.Because we answered the questions together, Oopie will send the answers with your permission.Thanks CO for creating and laying this cache.

Together with Travelser I'm going Down Under. We are driving around with a motorhome. After 7 weeks driving around through Australia we arrived the 2th November in New Zealand. For ten days we will cross the Northern Island and than for 2 weeks the Southern Island.During our trip we of course search for several caches. Most of them brought us to very nice spots, like this one.All the CO's, and in this case TheWanglers, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

Arriving in Bluff to catch the ferry to Steward Island, fortunately, there was time to visit the lookout. We enjoyed the view (in the sun with hardly any wind).Thanx for showing us this view !

1MinnieMoo and I made our way to GZ - with a small break in the inclement weather and noted down our answers for this one. Some fantastic views are to be had from here. It would be rude not to put an earthcache here. 1MinnieMoo submitted our answers. TFTEC TheWranglers

17/9/2023 Find #6542Day 9 of the Fangsoki/1MinnieMoo New Zealand South Island adventure. The weather today was rather uninspiring. But we had target caches to get. So we headed off this morning hopeful of a day of achievements. First stop was going to be the Bluff, but with the wet weather rolling in we decided to switch it up and head to our furthest planned for the day in the other direction and make our way back to the Bluff in the hope that the weather may ease a little. And as it turns out that ended up being a good idea. While the weather was still not amazing, and the chilly winds were certainly blowing us about, we managed to mostly avoid being out at caches while it was raining, only driving through the rain at times.We parked the car and dashed in to find the old Bluff Hill cache first, then decided to brave the freezing winds a little longer and head up the top to check this out, and in doing so claim the earthcache as well. Boy it was blustery!! But while I was up here I did do my best to run around in circles for a while and get my step count for the day up too! Until a car full of people turned up (who did not seem overly chuffed with life either). But with answers gleaned, we headed off, back to the refuge of the warm campervan. Thanks for the cache TheWanglers.

A nice earthcache at the Bluff Hille Lookout. A very nice view while a not rainy day !

A very enjoyable earthcache. Done with *Filser1* who has sent in our joint answers to the CO.

This was a great location to swing by, and we had nice chats with other tourists. Thanks for the cache, TheWanglers!

Day 7 on the South Island and it was time for Carø and I to leave Stewart Island and head back to Bluff. After arriving we headed towards this one. Very awesome to catch up with a school group from the very north of the North Island here as we gathered our answers. Thanks for setting up this Earth and bringing us here.

Answers were sent. I enjoyed the great view from here. TFTC!

Bluff Hill was the last real spot we visited in New Zealand. We really enjoyed being able to look down from up high and find some of the places we visited and others we heard of. And of course, always great to learn about local geology.

What a lovely side trip as we headed out of Bluff.

The short winding drive led up to a wonderful viewpoint and on a lovely morning there were views in all directions. Photos taken and info researched on the way down and sent to CO.



Thanks TheWanglers

Before I took the ferry to Stewart Island, I climbed Bluff Hill - especially to close the penultimate gap in my Jasmer Matrix. Then I followed the snail path to this vantage point. It's nice here!

Maybe try updating the cache name. By now, Groundspeak should also be able to handle UTF-8 characters.

Great vantage point and thanks for the education on the local rock formation. Enjoying our holiday from OZ. You have a great country. TFTC

Visiting the oldie cache on top of Bluff hill and admiring sights this ec was naturally logged. Greetings from Finland. Thanks for the ec

What an amazing viewpoint. Was a tad windy today. TFTC

Tftc easy find. Have brought a group of girl guides down on the way to Stewart Island!

Unsure what to look for here. Lots of little holes ?

The view is just incredible

I'm doing a road trip through Southland. Today's leg is from Dunedin to Invercargill by way of the Catlins and Bluff. Old School Challenge caches are the focus of the trip, but there's a few others to look for along the way as well. After finding Bluff Hill. I made my way up the spiral to do the Earth Cache. I was extremely windy at the top. This made it quite difficult to hold the page of questions and jot down some answers. I resorted to sitting down below the parapet. Lots of fun and an informative E.C. TFTC

.

Great views this evening up here!

Came up for sunset. Pretty epic 360° views from here.

Nice to read a bit more info to learn about the geological area. I didn’t realize this stone was so special here.

Thanks for the EarthCache!

Went up the hill. We have fantastic weather today so got a good view. Thanks for bringing us up here.

We found our way here on 12 Dec to gaze at the stunning view of the surrounds. Spent a bit more time to get the answers and send those on. Ethness put the call out to ask if any local cachers were available to show us around, after we got off Rakiura and before our flight home. What resulted was a magic few hours including visiting here. TFTC and to the hospitality of the local crew - I had a great time.

Came up last night for the view and we werent disappointed! Lovely and quiet here and great weather too. Nice to learn a bit about the landscape while we're here aswell

Great view up on the hill today. I came up here for the old cache and found that easy enough. This earthcache was informative and fun, TFTEC Wanglers.

No view from the top - totally in cloud but still worth the trip up the hill for an earthcache and a very old cache! Answers sent to CO. TFTC TheWanglers.

It’s earthcache weekend so we had to find at least one on our travels. As I had to go to Bluff Hill this one was close by and definitely worth a look. Answers sent to the CO. Thanks for bringing us here.

Another earth cache to learn about the geology if Southland -Bluff in particular. Fantastic.
'Bluff Hill - Older than Aotearoa' -I do like that statement.
Good to visit the top of the hill -31 years after I was last in Riverton/Invercargill. The views are amazing -I spent a lot of time taking them in, I nearly forgot to complete the requirements to log this cache. More new learning about the geology of the area. Many thanks for bringing me here The Wranglers -favourite given.

Cache 850 ?? FOUND PRE COVID LOCKDOWN, was saving this one for earth cache day 2021 but needed to log now to reach this months mountain peak challenge. Answers have been sent to CO, it was a lovely warm day when we visited Bluff hill grabbing a couple of caches along the way, I stored away the info for this cache for a later date and the time to log is now. The views are always spectacular from the top of Bluff hill on a nice day but the wind is usually chilly, it was great to learn a little bit about these rocks which was pretty cool ?? ??T4TEC ????

While on a little tour of the lower south, being 15 years or more since last here thought I would do a little history lesson

Back from four memorable days on Stewart island and managed a couple of caches in bluff. There was a hailstorm then rain so we didn’t linger! Answers for this one sent to the CO, TFTC

A trip has been planned for 4 days away (1-4th May, 2021) to collect all off “RIMA” – part of the Pokai Whenua Geo Tour in the bottom third of the South Island including Stewart Island. This time round, there is myself, rustynz, Rebel98, FMZ and his skeleton called Bruce. We have picked up a car at Dunedin airport and will return there.

We have little time before we need to scuttle off to the Stewart Island ferry, but there's enough time to do this EC. The last time I was here (21-10-19), it was bitterly cold and raining, me and Rebel and rusty only did the old trad back then. But today the weather is much nicer and we were able to enjoy the views and get fotos and complete the details for this cache.

Thanks very much TheWanglers for this.

On a caching adventure with a group of Westies (rebel98, gorby, FMZ and bony bruce)

Was here in October 2019, but that time was time pressured, a little like this time too

It was gorby who said we should do the Earthcache, so here we are, in between some rain showers, taking pictures and gathering answers to the questions.

Thanks TheWanglers for creating the Earthcache, I hope the answers sent meet your logging requirements. A fun find today

Great cache on a beautiful Southland day. Well worth the trip up the hill! TFTC!

I arrived in invercargill today and soon set off to do some geocaches, despite the terrible weather. There was no view up here for me today. Tftc, answers sent to CO.

We stopped by this spot on our road trip of the deep south and Steward Island. The main objective on Bluff Hill was the old school cache nearby, but we had to visit the lookout as well, of course. Great views today.
Thanks for setting up the informative EC.

We were down in Invercargill for a week then travelled around a bit and we passed quite a few caches and i went out to The bluff to look around once again after 40 years! when we took the now grown up kids while touring the South Island in a red VW which our daughter still uses! (1968 model)
I dont seem to remember this monument/tower being here back then but maybe ?
Lovely views up here all around . Loved the big murals in the main st esp the birds brilliant which i took photos of. - and the little white flowers at side of path up at the monument .

Amazing views, although we made the walk up and down at night. TFTC. Went back the next morning for a light look.

Day 15 of my 2020 NZE (New Zealand Experience).
(My apologies for the delayed logging but I'm still in catch-up mode)

Seeing as I can't be in America right now, I'm touring around the South Island instead. During my time here I am aiming to find as many of the TMGT caches as I can (preferably all 41) and also as many Virtuals, Earthcaches and Letterbox Hybrids as possible, plus any Trads or others that will fill a hole in my D/T grid, my Jasmer grid, or else the last 3 remaining Hidden Dates on that grid.

I haven't been this far south since my very first holiday to NZ back in 1988, so this part of my tour is a chance to pay Southland a long overdue visit. And of course this is my first time here as a geocacher, so plenty of scope to find caches galore! Today's plan was to spend the morning in and around Invercargill before making my way over towards Monkey Island and then meandering my way up to hopefully get to Queenstown by nightfall. Having had a bit of damp weather over the last day or so, it was good to get the sun back today.

Having treated myself last night to a powered site for the campervan at a motor camp, I was feeling clean and refreshed as I set off to drive to Bluff. There were a few people around, fellow tourists I guess, as I pulled up at the carpark at the end of the road. Then it was a pleasant stroll along the spiral footpath to get to GZ. Once there, I was able to enjoy the fantastic views and gather my information, and take plenty of photos.

Thanks for setting up this Earthcache. Worth a FP for encouraging me to visit here.

I am finally logging this Earthcache. Jude_E sent in the answers to this earthcache on the 17th December 2019.

We are continuing our caching journey with AF-Bee, GeoWench78 and 6ftzp&1/2zip. This is a day to take in the sites and grab some caches. What a view on this very clear day. Thanks TheWanglers for being a CO and providing us with a chance to learn. This one gets a heart from us. AF-Bee sent the information on be half of the group.

On a caching trip with Bennett24, travelling around Otago and Southland collecting TMGT caches, oldies, solved puzzles and anything else interesting that we thought we would enjoy. It is the third day of our trip and we are travelling between Tuatapere and Tokanui and collecting a few goodies. After getting the rare old trad near here I was keen to get the earthcache too and was very happy to collect the info for this one.

Took the walk up to GZ and while wandering around met a work colleague who was also holidaying in the area. Quite a coincidence

Answers sent to the CO - hope OK to log - thanks for the Earthcache..

On a caching weekend to Otago and Southland with Tuolei to pick up old caches, TMGT's, CANZ, solved puzzles and any others that caught our eye along the way. We had a 4 day long weekend planned that would take us around Dunedin on the first day, Tuatapere via Sutton, Balcutha, Mataura and Winton on the second day, Tokanui via Riverton, Invercargill and Bluff on the third day and then back to Dunedin via the Catlins on the last day. Overall we did 1578km and picked up just under 100 caches and managed to knock off most of the caches we had on our list.

After grabbing the nearby elderly cache we headed up to the lookout point and stopped at all the info boards to gather the required answers for this cache; have sent them to the CO. Great views from the top and interesting to see the smelter looking out over the harbour that obviously has a large influence in the area. TFTC

Round the world trip Made it to New Zealand and will be traveling all around the Islands. Spend some hours in Bluff.

Thanks for bringing up this cache!

Vielen Dank fürs legen und pflegen und beste Grüße aus Leipzig!
Thanks for hiding and many greetings from Leipzig/Germany!
