Found today with Campmotherandken so pleased as last time DNFd it but was cold & wet at the time! TFTC
Quickly found after visiting the vintage machines museum. There were even 2 kids playing!! Thanks for hiding and placing the new log rol.
A nice quick find in a deserted park. Fortunately Mr B had the required height. TFTC.
Finally find this cache and my lack of height was a disadvantage. Logbook was too wet to write on so added a fresh logbook in a tiny plastic bag
When our North Island trip was cancelled due to lockdown restrictions a new plan was hatched to head South instead. We have been here atleast twice maybe three times, so this time we came abit more prepared having read some past logs and having a good idea where to look. Unfortunately the log it too wet too sign and we had left accidently took our maintenance stuff out of the car at our accomodation so we couldnt do it for you. Thanks for adding to our smilies today. 
Day #5 of my Geotour.
Dunedin to Geraldine via Middlemarch with a couple of other diversions into the back of beyond for GT caches.
Getting dark now. Needed the phone torch on. GPS bouncing around. Nearly gave up. Eventually found by feel A good hide.

No-one using the slide or the swing. Some stretching being done under cover of the foliage...
Wet log unable to sign, photo attached. Need to be over 5 foot tall or able to climb.
*Another good find going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*

Felt a bit dodgy wandering around here late at night. Took a while, so thankful for a good hint. TFTC.
F pound while the boys did the museum. Took a bit of effort but got there eventually. Unfortunately the log was too wet to sign but I have a photo of the cache to prove I got it. Tftc
A bit of a tricky find with god telling me it was in the corner. About to give up and Haleyw1990 slotted it through a skit. Had to step up onto sturdy part to reach. Tftc
We found it but it was on the ground and opened, small pieces of paper nearby. We signed a damp piece and put it in a tree, so can still be found, and clues are still good (up high etc) if CO changes paper and place please let us know! Thank you!
Nice little play ground with no one there. GPS isn't pointing it out quite well.
Lock book is socking wet and about to fall apart. Couldn't write on it.
Thanks for hiding

Great weekend caching with Hinemoana. Drive by caching in the morning as we waited for the rain to stop. Thanks!
A crazy caching weekend with KiwiGS! We picked this area because on the map it looked like a lot of easy caches, although it was not quite the case. We still found many! Filling in time with a few drive by's waiting for the rain to ease. TFTC!!
Interesting cache construction. Log too wet to sign but was a good find. TFTC
#16733. Always good to set a DNF to rights. All quiet before 9:00 on a Sunday morn. Had to stretch a little to reach this one. TFTC.
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 2 of our weekend trip to Geraldine. We headed out about 7:30pm to find a few caches in and around Geraldine before another bike ride along the Orari River.
We had looked for, and failed to find, this cache over 2 years ago. It was missing at the time, and so we were keen to turn the blue face into a smile. After some needless floundering in the undergrowth, we moved our focus closer to the (deserted) playground where the cache was soon spotted. Thanks for replacing and TFTC.

Walked in circles for a while before the GPS settled down.
Nice homemade container. TFTC

Quick find. Could hardly write on the log as it is very wet. Needed to be in a plastic bag. Thanks for the cache.
I ventured out on my own today as yesterday was a day for housework.
Managed to reach up but for a cache instead.
Cheers for the cache.

Had the playground all to myself. I liked the recycled nature of the cache container. Thanks, BCD. #3092
The Dog across the fence let all of Geraldine know we were here,but it didn't take long to spot the hidey hole.TFTC
Got as far as the GZ but dog next door started to bark so decided to move on......
A muggle free occasion finally, time to go and grab it. And Hello Mr Unhappy Dog, you don't like visitors on my side of the fence do you! However, he settled down once I actually found the cache. Cheers
Day 1 of our 6-Day End of the Year caching trip to Dunedin. 2nd time here and 2nd DNF. Again the dog was going off and we just didnt have the time for a fruitless search. I now see WEKAs log and wish I had seen these while we were still there.
Thanks anyway.
Thanks anyway.
We failed to find this cache on a previous visit, but today it was a fairly quick find, although our coordinates were S44 06.232 E171 14.722. Even so, we're not sure how we missed it last time. TFTC
Gps took us further on then we needed to be but once at gz it was a quick find TFTC
2nd of our 6 Day Adventure down to Oamaru for [Oamaru Geofest 2017](https://coord.info/GC6M2V0).
The dog startled me with a big growling bark as I was reaching (he mustve been waiting for just the right time) we spent ages searching here even climbing up a few trees. We did find a blank piece of paper which looked like it couldve been a logroll but couldnt find anything else. Abit angry we didnt move on any sooner now that we see it was missing. Thanks anyway.

Quick find. Great to see some sunshine and our first visit to this playground Thanks !!
On a mission from Rolleston to Tekapo, Twizel, Omarama, Kurow, Waimate and home again. Found over 100 caches, which was the goal for the day. A bit drizzly for a start but beautiful sunshine through the Mackenzie. Thanks to all the CO's and apologies for the cut and paste.
This took a longgggg time to find! We were getting ready to give up when Geomum007 spotted the cache in the only place Busy Paws and I hadn't looked!!! Tricky wee hide.
TFTC!
