Kids loved this one thanks!

I loved this one and found it to be an easy find without needing to turn on GPS as the clue was good enough. The cache was actually very visible and almost out in open so when hiding it I gave it a little more cover to prevent it being muggled.
Thanks for this great cache - I love the bling!!
The log book is nearly full, I found space a few pages back from the end.
I had had this one on my radar for a few months as I thought I could get it while my son was at Softball at Kilbirnie park but the timing never worked out.
Today I had a blissful free couple of hours and needed to be in Kilbirnie so I was very happy to get this one and the nearby Red Herring.

Good one. Nice camo ctnr. Quite a gold cache Thanks.

Clever hide. Do one around. Think they were all running around the park. Cant get over everybody in short sleeves. We are from Central Otago and are well wrapped as we think 16 C is cold.

Had an early finish at work so popped out to see if I could find a cache for leap day. Parking was sparse so parked a wee way away. Found it after a little hunting, but realized I forgot my pen, lucky there was one there. Went back with daughter in the weekend as it was one I thought she would like. Signed log as C and L.

#1585 The tenth and last of my LEAP DAY caches. Have to wait four more years now. TFTC

Another quick cache just as it was starting to get dark. TFTC
 
17-Feb-16
It's the middle of the day. Parking is plentiful, so this is a quick park & grab. The cache was clearly visible from the steps when I arrived. I have tried to tuck it further back out of sight but there's not much room.
 
13-Feb-16
Took us a minute to figure out the clue, but once we did was an easy find, thx

Okayness and I had some spare time this afternoon after some events in the city so decided to walk from our accommodation to search for some nearby caches. There was a party going on nearby, with lots of people outside when we got here so carried on up the walkway. Came back later in the evening and all was quiet. Found it where we thought it might be. So much gold! TFTC

Loved the bit of bling Nice quick find very obvious, tried to hide it a bit more.
 
23-Jan-16
Parked in our motorhome right here so thought it would be rude not to do this one.

Quick find despite all the muggles but put it back closer to where it should be.

#1240. Found while running a lunch time errand. Pretty quiet this time of day. Cache safe and sound - however. Probably only about another dozen or so logs before this will need a new log book.

Thanks for another smilie to keep what is so far a relatively short streak. A caching day is a happy day.

Thank you Smile

My grandad and I found this cache while on our seventh day of our New Zealand trip. We were exploring Wellington as a day trip. After finding a cache in the nearby park, we walked over to this one and waited for muggles to come and go before making a quick find. Interesting items inside the container! Signed the log and returned before heading back to our accommodation for the night. TFTC!

Needed to grab a cache in the North Island and South Island for a challenge I saw a while ago (now I need to find it as I didn't keep a note of it!) so this one worked out nicely while on the way to the airport. Cool cache, took me longer than it should've to find it! TFTC DjaliDjinn, #8101

Woohoo gold! Love this cache, so beautiful and sparkly. We came here as a park and grab on the way to buy a notebook for our very first hide, so exciting times! Lovely to see such great themed cache. Thank you.

#1347. Thank goodness there was gold in them thar hills. After 2 hours of hunting this was the only nuggets I got for my effort tonight. One missing cache, a muggle park-up by another cache, traffic jams in Newtown and a multi too complex to finish at night. So relieved this was a nice quick find before I needed to check the hint. Really nicely themed cache as well. Thanks for placing it here. Cheers GSEL

Busy locale on a Saturday afternoon. Muggle management was a feature of our visit and find.
This was a straightforward find in a nifty hide hole.
Enjoyed the gold theme, thanks.
Log signed, cache then safely re-hidden, just as found.

Working on a couple of goals this week so took the unusual step (for me) of popping out after dinner for a bit of night caching to keep the numbers ticking over. Despite the soft breezes Wink wafting through the capital the temperature was quite mild and with an absence of muggles, and abundance of parking this turned out to be a rather pleasant outing. Another well themed cache from DjaliDjinn, many thanks.
