Looks like it has been muggled. Will put back next time I'm down there.

Came back for a good look. Nothing found.

Looks to have gone. Just a quick look as people in garden.

DNF - The clue made sense, but couldn't find anything??

I went where the map told me to but I’m new to this and I have never found anything. Searched and couldn’t find anything

Very easy if you come from the right angle

Nice hiding place tftc

My first find for Arrowtown

Very good️

A quick stroll around Arrovvtown between the snow and hail. Nice hide. Nice and dry.

I arrived here today to attend a Conference at Millbrook. After a 4 wheel drive trip up the Macetown Road I had some time on my hands. I put this to good use and found a few caches in Arrowtown. No worries here. TFTC

Found whilst on holiday with keylev, laval and NZ Iceman.

Thanks for the cache.

In the general area on holiday. Meeting with some friends for a wander and stopped at the cheese cafe for a snack but it was too full for all of us so I decided to head off for a walk with 2 of the mini-cachers which ended up being much longer than planned (well it always is!).

Haha this one was so obvious but I walked up oblivious to what I should have been looking for. The minis were onto it though - cache soon found, log signed and we were on our way again.

Thanks for the cache.

A visit to Arrowtown after attending Luma picking up a few caches. An easy quick find thank goodness cos the rain was coming down, cache all good tftc

After a video-conference with various visionaries, I volunteered to vault over to verify that the viscous cache had not vanished. Voila! There it vas. TFTC.

Easy find in a nice neighbourhood. Tftc

Great town for caching, TFTC

I found the log book out in the open not in a container. There was a round systema container near by. Have put log in that and covered with some leaves.

No find for us here, I got stung by a bee so we didn't look for long.

No luck for us today

????

Found it

Visiting ArrowTown from Kawerau BOP. What a lovely town, I love the historic places around it. TFTC

We looked around the fork in the tree for ages and then walked off and it all came together.

We really liked the log book and a Very good clue

Only muggle to worry about was the dog eyeballing anybody walking past. TFTC

Found this on my birthday yay TFTC

Arriving at GZ I was concerned to find an empty honey plastic pot and a lid. However all was well, the real container was close by! Signed the logbook and took the litter away. Thanks nzanz.

Easy find with Cympull

Found with Fisha1288
TFTC

Good easy find

Stayed at the camping ground last night, but phone was flat this morning. Studied up 3 caches around town, writing down hints, and drew a map of locations, and left phone behind to charge.
This was the Very first one of the morning, Very easy, love the basketball hoop across the road for local kids to play.

Found with mangoambs while touring Otago. Nice spot. Thank you for the cache.

Look for the V

Thanks for the hide! Found with work mates!

v-err clear !!

Dropped a tb

A nice quick find this morning, TFTC

On a 3 week road trip. Half way around my phone was damaged and I've lost all the data I had saved on it as to what caches I dropped in TB's. If I left one here please either let me know which one or grab it from me. Found quickly thanks nzanz

Cache 287 Quick park and grab in good condition, someone needs to mow their grassy verge lol

Day 2 of my 3 Day Geocaching holiday
On day one my cruisey trip up from Invercargill to Queenstown and I managed 35 caches along the way. Today I’m doing my first attempt at a 24hr challenge seeing how many caches I can get in 24hrs, start time 7am 13/10/20 end time 7am 14/10/20
This cache is cache number 25 At 1:57pm
Rock bug added to cache

As soon as we drove up I spotted where the cache would be. Very straightforward. As I was replacing it a neighbour, from across the road, arrived and called out "Fun, isn't it". We chatted for a while as he has done some of the local caches including the one at the top of the hill. That one we are not doing. LOL.

Coordinates had us looking in the wrong spot.

Great day for it. Tftc

Day 16 of my 2020 NZE (New Zealand Experience).
(My apologies for the delayed logging but I'm still in catch-up mode)

Seeing as I can't be in America right now, I'm touring around the South Island instead. During my time here I am aiming to find as many of the TMGT caches as I can (preferably all 41) and also as many Virtuals, Earthcaches and Letterbox Hybrids as possible, plus any Trads or others that will fill a hole in my D/T grid, my Jasmer grid, or else the last 3 remaining Hidden Dates on that grid.

I was last in Queenstown about 18 months ago when some friends of mine were touring around the South Island and I flew in to join them for a few days. I've been lucky enough to visit a few times now and yet the sight of the Remarkables never ceases to amaze me. My wonderful tour is nearing the end, and today I was planning on having a leisurely drive from Queenstown to Tekapo.

Arrowtown is always a favourite place to visit whenever I am down this way. Today was actually my first visit as a Geocacher so I was seeing it all again through different eyes. I had targetted Tobin's Track as a cache I wanted to get, and figured that I would look for this one on my way back out of town.

This was effectively a quick park n grab for me today. The cache was an easy find. There were no issues with it, so the log was duly signed and the whole lot replaced as found before going on my way again.

Thanks for placing this cache.

TFTC! Nice one

Jude_E had already found this one. We spent last night in Arrowtown and are planning on exploring Queenstown and Arrowtown in the light snow. Thanks nzanz for creating this hide. It was find 8683 for me.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021

TFTC!:)
Looked at the wrong place first.

Arrived at Arrowtown, settled in, time for a little stroll. So with hats, gloves, puffy jackets and coordinates we dared the freezing temperatures. And there's an interesting object with, yes, a vvvvery decent cache behind it! Now we can scurry back satisfied to the warm house

The Walking Access map at http://wams.org.nz/ shows that this section isn't public land.

Queenstown council maps https://www.qldc.govt.nz/do-it-online/maps show it's a vacant residential section. So definitely private land.

Love the title of the cache now ! Tftc

Visited again to sharpen the pencil today so we could write our names in the book! Couldn’t leave a sharpener because there weren’t any spares in the supermarket, but should be good for the next people!

Found this one pretty easily, the pencil in the cache was blunt though, so might come back and sharpen it tomorrow

Y just ugh

Thought I wouldn’t find it. Coords are within tolerance. Read the description and hint again. There it was. Just think about it! SL. TFTC.

Very easy is diffrent. The coords point behind the fence and even if the cache not lying there it should be taken into account that people (in this case a couple mowing their lawn) already get suspicious when somebody pokes around in the vicinity of their property.

Found with MrsC on our NZ travels from the UK, thanks.

An interesting walk around Arrowtown. Found with mr c on our travels from the UK thank.

Dropped TB

Nice wee find while having a lovely mid week break in beautiful Arrowtown.

Grabbed while visiting Arrowtown today. Tftc.

Nice, we put stickers in it

Nice find

Today we went gold panning in Arrowtown where we also found a few caches, then drove over to Kelvin Heights where we walked around the golf course and found some caches there.
We found this one easily - TFTC!

Found on a caching two day journey into Central Otago and Southland with Bitsprayer. Really enjoyed the challenge of the puzzle caches and the many hours spent to unravel the coordinates. Also great to travel along the many roads in the area. Many thanks to the various cache owners for placing and maintaining their caches. TFTC

Log book soaked, so replace log book, and new bag.Thanks Bitsprayer

Quick detour from the River walk. Log book is too wet to sign. TFTC

Too wet to sign log after today's rain. Easy find.

Found it! A log book a bit soggy!

Very wet. Tftc

Found a bit on his left the Open so rain got in to it

Yes. Someone left the lid off. So the book is wet and not in good condition.

Very wet, so just a photo. Thanks.

Got it once we thought about the clue and the hint. High muggle zone!

Good

TFTC! Love the view of the mountain range.

Quick little find. TFTC

Here again, all is well awesome spot

Found it

Had us a bit stumped but great clue

Easy find behind valve post

Easy peasy!

Tftc!

Last find from a stroll into town! The little caches were very excited to find this one! TFTC

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 6 of our extended Easter holiday in Central Otago. Today we are heading to Queenstown and Arrowtown, our main objective: a couple of solved puzzles plus an old cache.
Heading out of town, we stopped for this cache. Had to expand our search area to find the hint object. TFTC.

#17027. Made hard work of this one. It took a while to get the significance of the cahce name and the hint, and then a while longer to spot the hint object (it was a little to the right of where we made GZ to be, and a little overgrown). TFTC.

No toys but good spot

Vvvvery nice clue!!

Dropped off TB

Great little find grabbed trackable tftc

Traveled from the West Coast to Queenstown and did a little stopover in Arrowtown.
Searched for a few Caches around the area.
This one is especially difficult as there are a lot of muggles looking out from their windows!
TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Was on an early morning hunt for Arrow caches. It's turns daylight fast here, so much for stealth. Returned days later in the dark this time to check it hadn't got muggled. All good.

Thank you

It was extremely easy to find

Done it

Traveling around with Twisted Sista in South Island. Excellent hide! TFTC

Very nice

TFTF, finally grabbing a few caches before leaving lovely Arrowtown this morning
