Its a shame but based on feedback sounds like the hiding location has gone and based on past expierence will have to try something new.... nearby..... different container.

Sounds like there has been a lot of work done in area will hopefully check around new year

We called in and had an unsuccessful look for this cache. It might be worth checking that the cache container is still there as the green may have been modified.

Thanks for bringing us to this place. Quick find, great coordinates. TFTC

Quick find on the way home from The Great Little Train Show. Selamat!

Another quick grab with nyochi

A good quick find :3

Found after wandering around the memorial. TFTC

Tftc. On way invercagill to gore. Couple of stops on the way. Cheers

Quick find once in right place. TFTC

Found on a caching journey into Southland today with Bitsprayer today. All caches found in good condition. Really enjoyed the challenge and the many hours spent on the puzzles caches 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 Neat cache container. TFTC

Also headed where I thought but needed to follow GPS. Cool container haven't come across one of these before.

I headed off to where I thought the cache would be only to find the arrow pointing somewhere else. So I changed direction and made a quick find where the GPS led me. TFTC # 12,490

On a great tour of Southland today. Zigged and Zagged quite a bit.
Thanks

Took a few minutes to hunt down, what a busy road. Thanks Bitsprayer

got well mixed up here and looked in the wrong tree for a start
Many thanks to all the COs who helped make our geocaching holiday a great success
We left home early April and returned 21 May 2018. We toured from our home base up to a wedding in North Taranaki then carried on heading south right down through wellington and on down the west coast and back up via the eastern side of the alps some times going around in circles. Our aim was to get as many smiley faces on the puzzle caches that we had solved but of course stopping for many traditionals, multies and others as we went. some time we biked the bike trails or walked but mostly by campervan. we enjoyed the quite back country roads, many of them were metal but we just travelled along slowly going from cache to cache. Most caches were in good condition and I will remark if we thought it needs maintence etc.

On a holiday trip in New Zealand was looking for a few geocaches places were beautiful and great thanks

nice container first one I have seen like this found after a bit of a search trying to make things difficult for myself tftc

Driving on our Southisland Trip with our MiniCampingmobile.

Down from Northland for a few days for a short visit and just had to make sure of a cache or three each day. Today the weather was a bit better, but still much more like early winter than summer.

On our way back now towards Dunedin. Parked up near GZ and looked around for a possible hide location. Initially went to the wrong hint location, but once I widened my search, the cache was soon found. Signed the log and replaced safe and secure as found. TFTC

Our journey around NZ continues. QEF!

Super hot day 31 degrees, dryest Southland year since 1901. Quick park and find, although did find a disused birds nest too, tftc

We camped just around the corner... grabbed the cache on the way to get some ice cream from the deli

A quick geocache find right next to our freedom camping and the dairy industry, who could resist the temptation to look for it? Certainly not ReCached and me TFTC Natalie247!

Cache #2182

Didn’t really know what tree it was in

Traveling Canterbury weekend. Got it this time. Tftc Natalie

On the road before 8 this morning to see how close I can get to my goal of 2000 by the end of the year.
Had a dnf here with Downsouthinv on the way back from GeoFest, so please to see that it was actually gone and we weren't blind. Looked in some creative places back then.
Quick find today after refreshing the cache and checking the hint. Initially looked in some of the places we tried back then, but they were the wrong colour.
Thanks for the smilie.

We spent a long time searching for this cache, as the constant traffic passed by, but weren't able to find it.

No luck for me on the way back from Oamaru with DSI.

I'll be honest. I have searched for this one three times now over the past year while passing without success. GPS has me almost in the middle of driveway so searched the obvious places either side under plants and under and in hedge holes at back of it. Either I missing the good vibe or it may wander around a bit.

Stopped and checked on way south and all good

I believe this cache is ok following heavy rainfall over last 48 hrs, however roads in the area have been affected. A state of Emergency is still in place - for upto date info on roads go to www.dunedin.govt.nz/road-conditions
A large portion of my caches have been in affected area and I am currently through work/voluenteering have to focus on other post flooding activities.
As I expect it will be at least 1 week until I can do effective maintenance runs to check and replace caches I apologise now if you were hoping to claim this for a dot day/Mary Hyde gold and it is not in its expected state.
I would be grateful for any comments on what needs to be done and help empty water and provide dry logs.

This one took some time to search. Luckily there were no muggles interrupting. Finally found from very logical spot at the coords. TFTC.

Quick find on a drizzly morning traveling up in a convoy on the way to Dunedin for an event. Due to the number of us, we have signed the log as SGCs (Southland Geocachers) TFTC

Nice quick one

Mr was hunting for this one with no luck so when Mrs woke up and realised what he was doing she got up and helped, think it was going to be a DNF but Mr pulled his touch out and spotted a bit of camo and found the cache. Signed log and headed home to a warm fire and hot soup, TFTC

Not sure what was happening here just after 6pm on a Thursday night but soon after stopping at least 30 cars went up this driveway. Bit hard searching with a torch when every car on the road stopped to pull in and go past me. No cache spotted in the obvious spots. Gave up as too much traffic.

No one around today

Driving past from trip away and blip was live when it wasn't when we were by days ago. The little woman said stop quick and grab a smiley before it goes missing again. Large box was found in hide not that well hidden and I SL. Checked over the goodies in there but TNLN. Maybe shift change at night wasn't such a good time but rehid it a bit better for it's size without being seen and carried on home. 1st to sign the new book. TFTC

all good again

New cache placed on way to Invercargill.

seems to have gone missing

Followed all the clues to where we thought it would be, but no luck finding it.

No luck here.

We hunted high and low for the this cache today but to no avail. We had a pretty good idea where it should be but no sign of it. Boo.

After a fun southern family holiday in the Catlins and Invercargill it's time to start heading for home (CHCH).....staying the night in the Waitaki just to break the drive...allowed one or two caches along the way (so it doesn't take toooooo long getting there!
Gave this a good look in the rain but no luck. Looking back now (whilst logging) I see Lions vs Lamb have added a note to their 10.10.16 'Found it' log that they checked on the cache Dec'16 and couldn't find it. AWOL??

At World’s End – New Zealand – One of our dream become true.

Our plan was to stay 4 weeks in New Zealand. But this wasn’t this easy to manage at work. So we moved spontanic the plan from march to november. We informed us before about point of interessts. The list was this long so we decided to go by campervan from the north to the south to have the most mobility. We arrived after way to much hours in Auckland and started there our round trip. At first we enjoyed the area in auckland and the north. In Waitomo we were able to see and enjoy glohworms in one of the famous caves. But this area had a lot of nice hiking trails were we could discovered the Piripiri Caves, Natural Bridge and the Marokopa Falls. This was already impressive to see and still the beginning of our adventure for life. The trip went on over Okere Falls Scenic Reserve direction Rotorua. In this area we enjoyed each hour, because each corner was different. We visited the Haumurana Springs – what amazing water -, Blue Lake and Green Lake and relaxed in Kerosene Creek. We liked all the water and in our travel guide we found a hike cloth to the Huka Falls, which ofcourse we did as well. All this flowers were bloom. One oft the Highlights was Wai-O-Tapu. The weather was perfect and all this colors awesome and the geysir a nice shower. By Campercan the to tour went on direction Tongariro Alpine with a short stop at Orakei Korako and the Tongariro River Loop Track. Lu like nice hiking tours and what could be the best for her birthday? Of course the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing. We started early in the morning and walked approximately 9 hours over gras, stones, snow and colorful water. Now we had to leave the Heart of North New Zealand and went over Taranaki Falls to the East Coast with the goal Napier. The weather was cloudy and often raining but a small sightseeing was a must have. The last stop on the North Irland was Wellington. But it was only raining and some streets were already flooded. That’s why we change spontanic our plan and only did the First Cache of New Zealand and went by ship over the Marlboro Sound to Picton. We went over Farewell Spit to the lonely Wharariki Beach with sea lions. On the way back to the big streets we stopped at Waikoropupu Spring and Janie Sesson Shipwreck and drove untypical to Karamea. In Germany we do not have this much and public caves and that’s way we enjoyed this area! Cloth to the West Coast we took a look at the Pancake Rocks. The weather was just raining and so we could not see the Franz Josef and Fox Glacier, but we still visited them. We leaved the bad weather in the hills and enjoyed the Sun at Ship Creek, Thunder Creek, Fantail Falls and the Blue Pools. Wow they were relly blue and this clean and deep. I never saw something similar before. About Wanaka we read a lot in our travel guide and looked forward to it. There arrived we visited the Puzzling World and walked around the sea. Queenstown the next town we drove just through because at this time there was a marathon and it was really campervan unfriendly. So we used the time and drove to Milford Sound and enjoyed the hills surround us on the water. I never felt this small. After we are landed again on land the trip goes on to the Chasm and Clifden Caves and the Clifden Suspension Bridge. Wow what an adventure. At the end we visited a few cities like Bluff, Duneding, Moeraki Boulders and Christchurch were our Trip sadly ends.

At all this places we looked for nice and unique caches which shows us places which we never would had seen without. We enjoyed the nature and wildlife each day and it was really an adventure for life. At the end we drove approximately 5000 kilometeres and felt this relaxed.
Thanks to all owners for placing this caches and this much informations which we got about the particular areas. This was an adventure for life for us. Thanks for this beauty time.

Thanks for the cache Natalie247

Cache found not that well hidden with only so many peeps signing the log. Tucked the 200ml camo sistema away a little better given it's proximity to muggle central. Plods drove past while we had great fish'n'chips from the local diner. TFTC and a QEF SL TNLN

Quick find on a day trip north with Kiwigeoswami. TFTC

Lovely caching day with Granville86A, and thanks for the new caches!
