Having had someone else put a dummy cache at this location twice now and causing a whole heap of logging issues I have decided as this has been muggled that someone is either after this spot or really doesnt want a cache here..... either way would have prefered them to contact me and I would have happily handed over the spot. Nevermind. Hopefully new caches will pop up in the area now.
Found on our way down South to Bluff for the weekend. What a great wee spot! J & R enjoyed climbing up on this one. TFTC
I called in here a couple of days ago but had no joy. We were leaving town this morning, so called in for a photo opportunity. Luckily it had been replaced! A nicely hidden cache. TNLNSL. TFTC!!!

A local cacher confirmed that the container appears to have gone. Will be in the area within the next two weeks and take care of this.
Was pushed in a bit, almost didn't get my hand or the cache out in time before muggle rolled past. TFTC
A stroll down the street licking icecreams. Fretted for a while then heard the sweet sound of success. No pen - was left inside the locked van- will add photos of the two caches.
To help remove confusion have updated hint.
As I have replaced the log with a new one I will be contacting those who have claimed find but not signed the log.

Taking a road trip to Gore today and stopped at a couple of caches where there were some questions raised about them.
At 3pm today was out pretending to pose for photos and put in new log paper into the container as there was only two spaces left - the original container was in place and where I had originally hidden it.

We arrived just as another car pulled up but they were more interested in the nearby toilets so we made a show of taking photo's. Found with debsnz
We are traveling around New Zealand. We are so glad that we can discover this beautiful country. We enjoy it so much. This cache was found during our travel.
Thank you. Greetings from Czech Republic

After a long trip we found ourselves in "Howl to the Moon" where we enjoyed a nice dinner. It was already dark but just about 110 meters there was this cache to be found so let's give it a try. We found it with help of our pocketlamps. And we admired the statue of which we did not know its excistance . So we thank you for this cache.
on the way from te anau to dunedin we looked for some caches dtoped and found this one. tftc and greetings from germany.
Not being a big fan of Country or Western (Both kinds of music according to the wife of the redneck bar owner in the Blues Brothers film.) I didn't recognise many of the names on the monument.
Knew a few names in the logbook though.

Is freezing cold but MaryAnneRoger is showing me the sights of her old home town. TFTC 
Stopped at the big fish to have a bite to eat and could not resist crossing the road for a quick grab. TFTC.
Had to wait between busloads of Asian tourists. Man they take a lot of photos. Quick break in the traffic and cache was soon in hand. Tftc
I had been talking with a neighbour at the caravan park about geocaching and he said that he would be interested to take up the hobby so I invited him to join me today for a jaunt around the town to sign off a few. So he immediately joined up with GC.COM.This was the eighth we found.
We had come here earlier but there was a busload of tourists taking photos of the monument so we came back after they had gone.
Cheers for the cache.

Did a sneaky hunt after lunch. Thank goodness the Sleuth had a small hand. Great way to end a holiday. Cheers!
So cool to come here as my Mum was highly involved in the Country Music Club and hosted some of these artists, thank you for bringing me here, tftc

this one had a young girl using the inside curve of the guitar as a slide while the mother was busy with her phone. I gave up waiting and went and browsed in the nearby second hand store while waiting for them to move on. It was then a quick find.
On the way to Dunedin we made a quick stop for this cache. Thank you for the cache. Best regards from Germany. Family Holleradhiho
I didn't know that this was here, mind you haven't been here for a while normally bypass :O( Thanks for helping us rediscover Gore and for the cache
Found with Chosen1978. Good to see another cache placement close to the monuments that make Gore famous the world over. Easily found, TFTC

Even though the rain fell it was an easy guess to figure out where the cache was hidden.
Greets from Sweden!
Tack och bock!

I have found a cache near here in the past. It took two attempts to find. So maybe next time I come back I'll have success and turn this one into a find to.
Fun one! Thanks for showing ICEman and me this art work. ICEman needed to find a tort then the cache was soon in hand.
A bit of a hunt, it was pretty far in. Just managed to touch it and of course pushed it farther in 
. A suitable TOTT was found nearby and the chore was completed. Meanwhile Ms. Birdy photographed another nearby sculpture for a friend back in the US. Thanks for three nice hides, CO.

Found it yay.
Second find and really getting into it now.
We have lived in southland for over 3 years now and hubby didn't even know there was a guitar in Gore.

Pretty easy to find, not so easy to stick my hand through the spider webs 
something I should get used to as I get into this

NZ's equivalent to Tamworth, country music capital of Australia. Tamworth is not far from where we live so it was a surprise to find the NZ connection with the Tamworth garden and hands of fame. A quick find of the cache because of a crazily accurate hint! TFTC Natalie247, and thanks to the person who left the pathtag.
parislaura, Team Jacob and I flew to New Zealand for the 2015 Mega.
Never having been out of Australia before, this was a very exciting trip for me
What a wonderful thing is a Mega! Seeing fellow geocachers with their flags on driving around town, tooting at those who are at caches and meeting many new people
Today was our last day in Dunedin and we cached the area for a while prior to heading for Te Anau and then Queenstown.
We had a lovely day despite some drizzling rain and the highlight was meeting 'Dave', bundling him into our car and then being directed by him to Mt Cargill so that we could see the very impressive views from there
The day's total finds were 19
As we arrived here, we remarked that there had to be a cache hidden here...except none were showing on my GPSr
Seemed I'd not updated my GPSr last night with caches on our route so it was out with the mobile phone
Many muggle tourists were busy taking photos and so we did the same and retrieved the cache under that guise

After attending the mega in Christchurch, Locus Cache, Team Jacob and myself made a wonderful journey along the coast eventually arriving in Queenstown. We stopped at many wonderful locations on the way that have made wonderful memories of my time in New Zealand.
A quick find after posing with the nearby fish.
Thankyou for placing and maintaining this geocache for me to find. TFTC
