Croc has swum to warmer shores. Thanks for all the finds. Area available for potential new hide(s).

Forgot shoes gorse hurts your feet

Looked all around, read all the last clues from people, tried coordinates, didn’t find…

Waded around didn’t find ️

Branches have been cut. Wonder if it’s gone. Good excuse to come back!!!

Should read hint next time. No turning for MH.

NZ is back at level 2 so we can go geocaching again. Please wash your hands and stay safe. Happy caching!

IMPORTANT: Due to New Zealand's recent State of Emergency declaration and a nationwide lockdown due to commence at 11.59pm Wednesday 25 March, this geocache is disabled until further notice. Logs from now until the lockdown is officially lifted will be deleted. While geocaching is a fantastic was to get physical exercise and support good mental health, there is risk of spreading the virus by many people handling a geocache. Not worth the risk. Stay home and solve a puzzle instead! Kia kaha. Be kind. Stay home. Wash your hands.

A great hide. I really liked the camo. You could easily imagine these in the lake. Large beach around the lake today as the level is very low. Easy stroll through the bush to the gz. TFTC.

I get it. Haha that's a bloody good hide, half thourght it was an iguana doing the camo. TFTC.

Out kayaking the lake today, so had to call in and have a look for this cache while paddling past. Quickly found once we reach GZ. Co-ords where spot on. TFTC

Goo d hiding took us aboat 10 minutes to notice it but worth finding

First time in this area, specifically here at the lake, quite numerous farms are for sale...

Found the little one straight away but it wasn’t that easy to squeeze it back in its hide

Ha ha! One of my favourite little finds so far. Has a bit of a bite to it. Thanks for the cache

I was working in Kaeo today so went to check on this one on my way home. I parked in Onekura Rd and had a nice stroll down to the lakes edge. The lake was much fuller than last time I was here so I had to approach gz from the other side of the tree this time. There was a bit of gorse around for the final bit but not too much. The cache was spotted lurking where I saw it last. Co-ords today on my phone were S35° 10.071 E173° 51.544. Log was nice and dry, happy hunting folks

This is a sad dnf after a hard slog though horse. The veiw was nice

Fun cache, very appropriately named!! Tftc

Excellent cache. Lake very low and lots of flying ants about.

Such an awesome cache and in a beautiful spot too. Tftc

Checked up on this one today, all in good order and ready for more visitors. Happy caching!

Nice walk down to this one, past the cache guardians

Took 2 photos

TFTC, cute camo

Neat walk in bush to the lake shore brought us to an idelic setting. Once the cache was found did the name make sense and I would never want to come across one of these here. Very clever. TFTC

The third and final cache for the day for me. Such a lovely view of the lake from here. I loved the rocks to stop cyclists or motorcyclists hooning down the track. Another clever and interesting cache hide. I look forward to coming back to this lake sometime for a fun kayak to get the Hairy Little Dwarfs cache. Thanks for bringing us to this side of the lake Skaga

Yay my 3rd FTF in a day. Visiting the vet with my fur all nearby so was lovely to pick up this oh yes well. Hmmm interesting camo cache. Just hope it stays in the tree as sure as don't want it by my kayak thx. Even the dog had a bark here. Meet another two fur balls and some local kiddies heading down the track for a cool swim. Tftc love it.
