Had family waiting for us impatiently in the car, so didn't have a huge amount of time to look

Sunny and windy day. On our trip from Aoraki to Omarua. Greetings from Finland. TFTC
Had the whole massive Carpark to ourselves and by chance choose a spot right next to cache so only had to take about 3 steps to grab this easy one. V windy here today. TFTC
Lovely views in a quiet spot. Someone dropped their pen, so I thought its gotta be there. Very quick and easy P&G. Thanks

Today we decided to do the loop around Lake Aviemore and also walked up the Deep Stream Track. We managed to find 27 caches though had a couple of DNFs.We went round the lake in an anti clockwise leaving from Otematata. Quick find here having parked close byTFTCTim and Viv - ddm
We were driving back to Dunedin and stopped here to look at the dam. Me and my brother ( Prince Caspian) were here and Grandy helped us to find it.
#5.598Quick and easily found on a stop along our way and after enjoying a final view on the lake.TFTC says team mastba from Hamburg/Germany
Located several caches whilst ‘exploring’ the Kurow-Aviemore area today. This one was a quick find #6293. TFTC.
Returning back to Christchurch after an overnight stay in Alexandra. On the way, I intended to grab a few caches that would help with the South Island 300 minutes challenge, this being one of them. thanks for the placement, and thanks leja_leja for your maintenance.

Found cache open and thrown over fence, managed to find logbook after a lot of searching down the hill. Have put back together and placed where we think it should have been?
Nice easy find on our South Island road trip. A stunning view and the trees are just starting to show some autumn colours. TFTC
Managed to sign the logbook and it was more of a terrain rating of 2 and a half for me. Please note that CO’s ears were probably burning from the swear words I was using. Who knew that cookie time buckets were so strong but it gave me enough height to reach
Great view from here, quick and easy find. TFTC hill55.
Day 5 of a South Island road trip for RG1972 and I and today it is Lake Tekapo to Moeraki. A bit of driving then, and we need to leave time for side trips to the Cathedral cliffs and for a bit of exploring in Oamaru.
A pretty sweet day. There are hundreds of caches on our travels today, but we just drove past the majority. Nice views of the lakes on the left, and it’s the first time either of us have driven this road before and the towns like Kurow, although we have been through the towns that bookend the road many other times, from other directions. All caches found in good nick, and if they needed a bit of extra RITR paper they got it. TFTC all COs.

It was a lovely view
Day 5 of our South Island road trip and today is Lake Tekapo to Moeraki, with mini deviations along the way to the Clay Cliffs, Elephant Rocks & Oamaru.
A very cool day exploring & I've never driven the road from Omarama to Oamaru, so a win win!

Thanks for the hide!! Such an incredibly windy day! On holiday with our 5 and 7 year olds. Added a swap into the cache.
#19342. Nice place to stop and check out the dam. Bit of a stretch to get this one. TFTC.
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 2 of our Waitangi weekend to Kurow and surrounds. Today we are doing a loop trip, travelling the road east of Lake Aviemore, then up to Omarama for a late lunch back south to Kurow, finding 55 caches along the way.
I failed to find the cache, but SW, who has the height advantage, was onto it straight away. Good views indeed of the dam. TFTC.

On a roadie round-trip from invercargill up through the pigroot, out in the back country onto this road. Heading to Omarama. A muggle parked at GZ so thought I'd stop further away and make a cuppa and some lunch. Perfect timing he took off after my refreshments were done n dusted. Got to GZ was a butof an effort retrieving but i was determined cache all good and back in its hide tftc
Found this one on my cyclocache ride up the A2O from Kurow to the Aviemore Dam and back. I thought about stopping for this one yesterday as I towed my caravan down to Kurow but there seemed to be a muggle parked right at GZ. No problems today, the viewing area was all mine. [^] TFTC hill55.
Yes it is a dam good view. Thanks again for placing a cache for our enjoyment. SL. TFTC.
We Had a Break Here in ohr was to Belmore. Nur unfortunately we've forgotten our Pen.

Thwarted by muggle arrival, but wonder whether GZ is meant to be like the attached photo?
In Kurow for the long weekend and today's geoadventure started off with a walk up Kurow Hill. Plenty of snow on the hills but a beautiful winter's day and hardly a cloud in the sky! First mission completed so now to head to Otemetata. A nice quick find here and left a trackable...enjoy the dam good view Brian! TFTC
Decided to make a trip to Duntroon over the Dansey Pass. Lots of logs to find and sign and this one was one of them. Day and it begins again. TFTC
On a road trip south, enjoying the day and pic up some caches. TFTC

The youngest found it again!! Very handy having a six year old with you! Beautiful view
Found with nissan 65. Flew in from sydney for a short holiday. Hoping to see as much as i can on the south island and pick up caches along the way . Thanku for the cache.
Time to get out for a days caching and tidy up some ones we've missed or are new. Lovely fine winter day, GPS and phone at the ready. I found this one before Heafudd M, very unusual for this type of hide. TFTC
I've started my beautiful trip of the South Island in Christchurch, I've visited many beautiful locations. I've travelled via Lake Tapeko, from Dunedin to the most southern part of Bluff. I've then continued with a cruise in Milford Sound and then back to Queenstown.
From there on I've visited Wanaka and the Haast pass to the Franz Josef glacier. I went all the way up to the Abel Tasman NP. Richmond und Nelson as the sonnierst cities were on my list as well.
I've soon reached the east coast in Picton and Blenheim.
After a couple of days, I've then travelled back to Christchurch via Kaikoura.
I've spent a couple of days in Christchurch and it's surroundings.
I've visited many geological sites and have found many caches along the way.
I've travelled 3500km and have experienced so much.
Thank you to all the owners
