Broadleaf on Steep St path (Otago) Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand
By 111PAF on 25-May-16. Waypoint GC6JF98

Still where it should be but the log has got wet. It has had a lot of finds, time to let this one go.

Yeah nah

This is day three of a ten day trip down to Dunedin and back to move my daughter to Dunedin so she can get her master’s degree at Otago University.

The first two gruelling days were a mad dash to get there and unload my van full of her stuff at her new flat. I earned the eight days to drive back home finding caches all the way.

I followed a young lady down the path, which turned out to be a walkway to their house. As I started searching they both came out to see what I was up to. He had helped others find the cache, so he showed me where to look. I was thankful they didn't call the police. The coords should probably be about S45° 53.085 E170° 29.594. TFTC.

Quick find. Tftc

Quick find here once I went under barrier. Tftc.

Spot the drowned rat trying to cache in Dunedin. Between constant rain and missing caches, I would be lying if I said I’d be back. Bring on some sunshine for you locals soon! Thanks for the cache.

Found in the end. - Thanks Bitsprayer

Found with Dad. Some muggles on their balcony made things somewhat difficult

Couldn’t find checked all the trees, felt invasive into home properites

Great hiding place

Silly app not working correctly, this should have been logged on the day....

One close to home been saving as an emergency dot day .... and today is that day. Had to get MinionOne to drive me down and sent her hunting and bring the cache to me as I was really crook - am not going to have this single mark on my record - I want them over and done with. Felt bad as the phone GPS turned out to be 10m out.... but found yay. Now back to the sofa.

Went up the steps but had to keep going as muggles going down and then had to wait while jogger went by and then looked for broadleaf . Found then found ,quick sign before more joggers came by. Tftc.

Early morning caching before leaving Dunedin. No luck with this one. I really need to learn the name of Nz trees.

Quick find, nice little spot. Tftc!

A quick find with Tuitigger and searchwisely. Damp but writable. Thanks for the hide.

As previously said co-ords took us near to someone's home, however we widened search and found the cache. Log is damp. TFTC

Quick find after reading that it was 12m away. Steep St nowhere near Baldwin St though.

When in doubt refer to the title.

Out with the dog for a walk. TFtc. Log book a little damp but could still sign log.

Co-ordinates took me towards an old stump by someones gateway. Gave it a through check before realising that it didn't fit in with the title. Looked around and quickly spotted the object and then cache about 12m away.

Didn't find it but also had to cut search short when local muggles started having a fight at the bottom of the stairs.

TFTC.

Found with Lollipopcat and SpyDude13. Kia ora for the cache.

díky za keš

While visiting my cousin in Dunedin before heading up to Oamaru for the Geofest, we went out to find a few caches. Nearing the end of our day, this was the last for us but unfortunately I couldn't locate this cache (didn't want to search too close to people's house near letterbox). I saw mention of updated co-ords but didn't have all logs on my GPS and is not until now that I could see the log with them. Will see if I have time afterwards to maybe try again for this one. Love the steps!

Relatively quick find good camo.TFTC

Quick find with no one about. Updated coords from an earlier log took me straight to it. TFTC

GPS had me all over the place then decided to go for the more substantial items around. Enjoy all the different walkways. TFTC

GPS was well out but could tell this easily from the map because I wasn't even on the path! Easy find and scored a knowing smile from someone as they walked past. TFTC

Another found by the kids. Thank you

OCW GeoWench78 while walking/exploring Dunedin from the Radiance of the Seas...nice hide...TFTC!

Found with AF BEE while on a great geocaching vacation. Thanks for placing this cache.

Found with GreencGecko's and Seffnjarah.

Having completed a five day tramp over "Five Passes" in Fiordland National Park to claim first to find on a long unloved remote alpine earth cache, our reserve "bad weather days" are now free for us to go caching. So, we hired a car for a road trip looping around southern parts of the South Island, including a full days caching in Dunedin.

After a miserable cold morning caching in the rain, we bravely ventured back out to collect a few more caches. In our wanderings, we stopped and grabbed this one. Coordinates were a little astray, but some geo-logic got us there. Thanks for the cache, 111PAF

This was not far from our previous find so it was another convenient stop on our travels today. Initially we failed to find the cache in the spot indicated by the GPS but a quick read of the logs indicated that we should be searching further afield and it was Crookedpete who successfully located the cache for the group. TFTC

Good Reason to get out for a walk around town. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Gps off alittle but found it still

Second find of the day with a new friend. A muggle walked past us unpacking the cache and didn't even see us!

Another quick find after a busy but exciting day. Evidence of lots of tree felling so pleased to see the GPS was leading me away from there. TFTC #9917

As the coordinates had us in a carefully cared for area by someone's gate, we decided something was wrong, so checked previous logs, which confirmed this. We walked further up and soon found the correct tree, although finding the cache itself took quite a while. Our coordinates were S45 53.085 E170 29.598. TFTC

Day # 1 in New Zealand on a geocaching holiday-trip with visits in Thailand, Australia and finally NZ .
I had so much looked forward to return to this beautiful country, and now I'm here again - awesome!
Spent the day caching around in Dunedin, trying to concentrate on the "old & the famous" and to cover all available cache-types in the region .
Mission accomplished!
At the end of the busy day I was happy to count 22 finds of 7 different cache-types (including my own event in the evening [^].

The coordinates let me onto private ground.
Studying the previous logs helped me to correctly locate the object . It was 15 m off. Once spotted the object, the cache was quickly in my hands .

Hey - Dunedin, you have awesome caches [^] [:X]! Almost all in great shape, especially the old ones. [^]
So thanks to all Dunedin Owners involved [:X] [:X] - two of you I was happy to meet in person at the event .
Cheers from Germany Sure i'll be back some day !

A quick find today. Used the hint.

Found about 12m up from posted CoOrds. Just looked for the broadleaf.
Lots of foot traffic today.

After spending a bit of time faffing around outside someones gateway I read the logs and headed up a bit to find it. TFTC

Found with Frame Fam - TFTC

Found with kerynz

Found quite far from where co ords lead us to. On a 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc 111PAF. Find # 3733

A quick find on this visit, makes a difference when you search the right tree.TFTC

A bit further up than the instructions say but found a broadleaf tree and found it TFTC

Was up further than the coordinates gave us but we soon had this in hand with a little help TFTC!

Nice little spot! TFTC

I thought that I had found this one already but hadn't logged it. So I went and checked. Actually no, I hadn't found it previously. Made for a nice quick find after work. Thanks

A bit of a tight squeeze. TFTC

Eve07 soon had this one in hand.

Found on 9/08/2016.

Out do grab some caches in the dark... Great fun.
Got there eventually.

Quick find early morning walk

found it

We danced around a little up and down until tunfisk noticed a giveaway sign - awesome to have so many pathways around Dunedin, there is always one handy when you need one TFTC!!!

Found after a CITO with CJ-Curry, GPS was 14m out, had us staring at a flax bush for a bit!

I'd been to this one before and been out-muggled, but with Hevic's help and a bit of logic behind me this time the cache was found. I realised I shouldn't have been out-muggled the first time. Ah well, a win is a win. Cheers!

Found it with group

GPS bouncing around a bit so J decided to head up a bit further and was soon in the right spot and then found straight away! TFTC

Had to wait for some muggles to walk down the steps before we could make a quick grab. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

As it was a lovely sunny morning it seemed like a good opportunity for 2 out 3 members of Team HvsH (1 human & 1 canine) to go for a walk around the hill suburbs and find some caches. To be honest the dog wasn't a great asset. She was great on bit between caches but hopeless at finding them. The missing human is far more useful!

Had to come back to this one as there seemed to be people around and I couldn't think of a reason to be lurking about. Second time I managed to go straight to it, unseen I hope! I got a good workout today!

Wonder if it was Hawksvshondy that we saw?? Found with debsnz

A couple of quick finds on my way to work. Thanks.

Easier in the dark, spotted it straightaway. No muggles around either. Thanks PAF

Another quiet pathway.

GPS was all over the place but after we extended our search found quickly. TFTC.

TFTC.

Had to expand the search a bit

Enjoying discovering these paths

Quick find, thanks! I do love your caches

A break in the weather means an opportunity to go out exploring for the morning. And to track down a few caches. Thanks for the incentive to enjoy a warmish winter day.

the last one on an early morning assault, and by crikey...it seems the caffeine withdrawals hit us hard, as this took the longest to track down due to a bouncy signal. Still, found without incident, and a great wee hide. TFTC.

Signal was bouncing around a bit here, possibly due to all the moisture in the tall bushes and trees up this pathway. However, that was compensated for by one of the excellent hints that this CO always provides. TFTC.

(FTF) #64 @1109. As there were many emails that came in I missed this one and started heading back out of town when I noticed that I had missed it and thought that this would make 5 FTF in one day and bet my last one of 4 so I had to go back for it. It was a bit off in the coordinates and had me lost for some time. But I decided to try some other trees that seemed a bit more likely up the path a bit and found it in the end. TFTC
