As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,

Missing. Found stump no bottle

If the CO is not going to replace perhaps this should be archived. Or at least disabled until it is replaced. It hasn't been found since September as it's missing. Thanks.

Find the logical spot but definitely appears to be missing!

Enjoying a few days in queenstown and area. lovely walk along the river...looked in the obvious spot then checked the activity...perhaps a temproary disable might help.....

This Geocache has been removed by someone. I shall replace it shortly.

Dnf. Obvious hide but noone home

Stone in hole but no cache. Never mind will come back to do track another day

Woods hit wrong button

No luck for us here today - appears to have gone

As we were passing, we had a quick look. The hiding place, complete with covering stone was fairly obvious, but no cache. TFTC

No luck here and then read the recent logs and seen that it is missing. We will try again next time we are in Arrowtown.

First full day in NZ and I have the use of the car whilst my son is at work. Arrowtown looks an interesting place so set off in that direction.

Spent a while here but as soon as I saw the obvious place I had a feeling I was going to be out of luck, and so it proved. It may well still be there but I couldn’t find it today.

Are you sure it's still there?

Called by in case it was replaced already. Ideal little hidey hole.

This cache has been removed by someone. I will replace before the 07/10/17

High muggle spot. Checked in all obvious places.

Got the holly connection but couldn't find it.

Couldn't find it
We were searching by torchlight, and although we found a likely spot right next to the track, under the stones I the stump was no cache. A few other possibilities a little off the track were also empty.

A cold frosty morning walking along the river. Great place for a cache. Cache all dry and in good condition. TFTC!

Nice cache, thanks Holly!

We enjoyed a wonderful walk. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Frankfurt, Germany.

Tftc nice little hide. Love all the autumn leaves.

Watched as debsnz tried to make this one harder than it is. Found with debsnz

I tried to make this harder than it needed to be by scrambling around in the bushes while Aoraki stood on the path and waited for me to emerge empty handed - only to tell me he had already found it! Found with AorakiSheep

Found during a 3 day visit to Arrowtown

Nice easy find on a nice easy walk!

Good hide along a stunning path. Thanks for inspiring me to come here.

Love the location. Great fun. Thanks for a neat cache.

The Arrow River bike trails are a must-do in the autumn. The signature prickly shrub hinted the GZ's presence. Fortunately, no band-aids required after performing retrieval. TFTC!

Found with Juliamw5 TFTC

Dived into the bush and found a great hiding place, but ouch ouch , no cache.
Rethought the situation and bingo, there it was. Tftc

Quick find on a ride from the Bungy bridge to Arrowtown. Loved this track. TFTC!!

No one around just on sunrise today so made a nice quick find, first of the day. TFTC

Brilliant spot

A quickly found. Thanks for schowing this place and hidding the cache!!!
Greetings from Germany!

Spotted a tell tale sign as we were walking along and sure enough there it was. Visiting the area for the weekend from Auckland. TFTC

Quite appropriately named. My wife debdunord and I went on a short hike along the river trail and found this one. We also had to cross the bridge... because it was there. A rather warm and sunny day today. TFTC.

Thanks Holly, good cache.

Beautiful spot

Picked this one up a quick tour of the river tracks. tftc

Diverted into the bushes by mistake but then found it. Thanks Holly.
Log book has fallen apart so hard to find the latest - could do with replacing or at least a staple.
TFTC

Thank you for the Coach, it is a nice place to have a rest

Long weekends, Federico is invited by a friend in Queenstown, away from Chch very challenging, we decide to accept, the place attracts us a lot and we do not know.
Town located on a very beautiful lake, very much alive here are practiced all extreme sports, if you want to kill yourself this is the place you'll be spoiled for choice.
we will pass by the lakes already visited a few weeks ago but we go back willingly, on the way there are interesting cache and we will stop looking for them
The day after arriving in Queenstown we decide to visit this town, we were delighted here everything is slow, may not be in a hurry, incredible setting, the time has stopped
Greetings from Italy
Fine settimana weekend lungo, Federico è invitato da un suo amico a Queenstown, trasferta da Chch molto impegnativa, decidiamo di accettare, il posto ci attira molto e non lo conosciamo.
Cittadina posta su un lago molto bello, molto viva qui si praticano tutti gli sport estremi, se vuoi suicidarti questo è il posto adatto hai solo l'imbarazzo della scelta.
passeremo dai laghi già visitati poche settimane fa ma ci torniamo volentieri, sulla strada ci sono cache interessanti e ci fermeremo a cercarle
Il giorno dopo essere arrivati a Queenstown decidiamo di visitare questa cittadina, siamo rimasti incantati qui è tutto slow, vietato avere fretta, ambiente incredibile, il tempo si è fermato
Saluti dall'Italia

I was taking a break in Queenstown for a few days in between hiking the Hump Ridge Track and cycling the Otago Rail Trail and went out to find a few caches in town before heading out to Arrowtown with a friend from overseas, where I gave him an introduction to Geocaching. A nice quick find here before muggles came by. TFTC!

East find by the kids

Found with itsahoughthing on a walk along the river. We made a quick find of this cache before continuing on. Thanks for the hide.

Great cache

today was another nice day for our holiday trip in new zealand were we of course all found some caches along the way from Te Anau to Wanaka.

This is one of them. thank you for maintaining this cache.

Found on a trip to the Gibbston Winery.TFTC

On the way from Queenstown to Wanaka, a nice walk from Chinese settler park to GZ along Arrowtown river. Got wrong side to approach GZ and no luck to find this which was a few meters away. then rethink it should be along the track. Quick found and youger geokid was exited. TFTC

Good wee hiding spot.

Prickly find. Had to hide from muggles!

During our holidays in Newzealand we searched some Caches.
We wanted to do a walk to the Germans hill in arrowtown, so we came here too.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this box
arbor95

Together with arbor95 I am on a holiday tour in New Zealand.

We are two Germans, old friends since a long time. Together we visited a lot of other countries in the past, even before we started geocaching. [^]

For our trip we usually looking for some extraordinary caches.

Therefore we had mostly a lot of fun.

This one was on our way to the Tobin's Track and we signed the logbook.

Thank You very much for this geocache, for the challenge and for the maintaining.

Greetings from tripleclaus to radarnz.

Spending a sunny afternoon with MUEZ in picturesque Arrowtown: Given the crowd of mainly Asian tourists in this small town, we decided to go for a stroll along the Arrow River where we were able to find some caches without being disturbed and enjoyed the peace and quiet. / TFTC!

Enjoying the walk along the Arrow river and searching for some caches along the way. A nice easy cache. Our 200th cache so gets a celebratory favourite point.

Its a 3 week expedition, with The Seagnoid and Zara, round the South Island. Rakiura Walkway, my objective, is bagged, so its homeward bound the long way round. Its day 18 of our epic journey - Queenstown to Hawea today.
Enjoying a walk along this track, while checking out Hollys first cache. Had to wait for some muggles to move along here. But finally snagged and tagged. Cheers

Temp log more later

Find #953
We had a lovely day trip to Arrowtown after a recommendation to come here from friends. This cache was an easy find along the river walk we did. Really enjoyed the views up and down the river from the spot nearby. TFTC!

We must have looked suspicious as we dived in here. Just why would people put themselves through that sort of torture checking out Holly. An old man gave us a rather incredulous stare as he walked past and we were signing the log. Bu the had no idea what we were doing.

Thank you for the find! We looked too hard. It's easier than you think Torpedo and bunnzy

My second to last cache for the day. A nice little walk. I just need to pop up the hill to get today's objective.

Travelling around NZ for 4 weeks today we startet at Cromwell and came to Te Anau. It was sunny, a little bit cold and very windy. We drove through beautiful landscapes and on our way we found several caches.
Thanks for hiding and greetings from Germany!

This was a great little hide and a nice quick find.

Thanks, Holly, for a great cache and much fun trying to find it!

Today, on a nicely sunny day, we have made a 12 km walk in and around Arrowtown, enjoying the beauty of this little town and along the way picking up 6 caches at sometimes quite special historical places.

Our big thanks to all COs for bringing us to amazing places.

Good hide. Thanks.

We're staying at the holiday park nearby. The cache was easily found near this beautiful creek. Tftc

This was an easy find. Number 3 in NZ.
Thanks for cache Holly and radamnz

Found it with some friends. Took us a little while but hint was very useful!

Aptly named Holly. Good hiding spot. Found with hifiveitslivtime.

Tftc. What a lovely day

Always a good place to take the dog for a walk.

Nice walk, good day. Had to watch out for the muggles!

Tftc!

Journeying from Queenstown to Wanaka with FBW? discovering as many caches as we could along the way! Great hiding spot Holly! Loved it! Tftc

Holly's First Cache! Well named indeed! After a nice walk along the river, we came across a site that fit the description and soon had another find under our belts. We are heading to Wanaka for some skiing but might come back this way to pick up some other caches in the area that we missed! TFTC

T ftc. Great hiding place

Great spot! TFTC =)

What a lovely place for a cache and what a clever place to hide one. We came all the way from Auckland and this is the first we have found in Arrowtown. We didn't need to drink the tea today but future cashers will be pleased it is there. Thanks Holly.

Found on 14/08/2016.

In Queenstown for the weekend and off to the Routeburn for a Winter tramp. Grabbing a few caches on the way.
A nice quick grab in-between the host of passing muggles.

My first find in nearly two months on a half-day break from Queenstown. TFTC

Went on a big adventure with Wafflekitties and geo pups, had a blast thanks for the memories! TFTC.

Found while on a winter holiday with LCBuilder and our two geodogs. We spent 3 weeks travelling down the east coast and then up the west coast, setting our tent up at a different campsite each night. We didn't have any real plan, just went where the caches took us we saw a lot of awesome sights and will definitely have to come back one day as 3 weeks isn't really that long!
Came to check out Arrowtown but unfortunately it rained pretty much all day. Not so fun when you only have a car to shelter in.

Found on a bike ride on a cold frosty morning TFTC

TFTC!

SEARCH AROUND AROUND WRONG OBJECT FITTING CLUE.Broadened search and soon found it. Tftc

We are loving our site seeing adventures around town. This cache helped make our visit even more memorable. Thanks for getting us down to the river walk.

A quick find. Thankyou Holly for the cache and the smiley.

Fun find!
