Is this one going to be enabled? It's been over a year and a half rather than a few days now.
We found the cache pretty much out in the open and swimming with water - we couldn’t sign the logbook so have taken a photo instead. Will need some owner maintenance.
A nice peaceful spot for those resting here.

Was in the Pareora Valley picking up a few caches today and enjoying the lovely first day of the New Year of 2018 in the South Canterbury. What a nice day not too hot a bit cloudy to start with and then the weather cleared up to get a beautiful clear fine day.
After finding GCMRCE - Whale of A Time (South Canterbury), this was the next and final cache that I had on my list that I wanted to find today as I was heading back out to Waimate. As I neared GZ, I decided that I would park in the entrance way of this cemetery and from there it was a nice little walk to GZ. Arriving at GZ, I soon manage to spot the cache very quickly as it was sitting there out in the open , had to do a bit of a reach and stretch to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced it back as found.
Thanks motoguzzi500 for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (12888), now it is time to make my way back to Waimate to pick up Mrs Yeetrees so that I can go and visit family.

2nd of our 6 Day Adventure down to Oamaru for [Oamaru Geofest 2017](https://coord.info/GC6M2V0).
A quick easy find in the quaint little cemetery. The grass had been recently mowed but with the heat of the day is was now dry so no problem with wet feet for us. 34/48 caches for the day and 250 for our trip. Thanks for placing the cache and adding to our smilies

Only 5 months from letting BCD get the FTF I got around to grabbing this cache. ( of the cache placement was where I found it, then Status Quo enabled a cache in private land.....) cheers for the cache, managed to get home before the southerly hit us. Thank God for heated grips
#14013. Getting damp feet was a recurring theme of the long weekend. Interesting cemetery. TFTC.
Found with StreetWalker while taking the scenic route back home to Christchurch, via Cave and Pleasant Point, after spending an enjoyable Easter break in Timaru.
This was the first stop of the journey and it was pretty soggy underfoot. I told SW I'd get the cache as one of us might as well have dry feet for a little bit longer. But separating me from GZ was a large puddle, and another hazard was what looked like an electric fence. Called SW over to do the search (his reach is longer than mine), but managed to find the cache just as he arrived at GZ.
Another cool wee country cemetery. TFTC.

Nice easy find on a caching trip with team_macdonald TFTC contents a bit wet but log book nice and dry
Nice quick find here. Every cemetery deserves a cache and a nice place. Tftc found with rayzr2. Cache had some water in it but logbook was ok
Never knew Pareora had a cemetery and as I wandered around it looks like it is still in use.

Yippee ftf. The sweet taste of success is always good when you find after someone's dnf (sorry Andrew ) . I can see why it was missed cache is 35m away from posted coords (have taken a way point if Co wants it ) but a stroll around the cemetery quickly revealed the hiding spot as per the hint tftc
Hi.. and thanks for the info....I will update the co odinates ASAP!! Moto Guzzi 500.
We were actually driving up Beaconsfield road when the email came through. Within 5 mins we were at GZ. Unfortunately we could not see it anywhere around. Found the monument which was quite interesting, I also found a gravestone of someone that I knew from a few years ago. I could do with some extra clue .... (please)
