After getting out to the Marine Maginot but being unable to take a photo, so no find, Taybeedragon and I headed here. Getting the numbers was easy, once we swapped ups with downs, as we started at the boatshed end, but we could not find the cache.
This one took me much longer than it should have - GPS mostly insisting that I should be swimming and I was distracted by the hint. Geobubs is not a fan of the low search and so I'd assumed I just wasn't low enough. After reading the previous poster decided to have another look today as flying solo and found instantly! TFTC #236
Found during my short visit of Dunedin, inserted between Te Anau and Queenstown. The only one reason of traveling for 3 days to Dunedin was the geocaching. There is quite unique occurrence of very old caches. Even four caches in Dunedin have GC code of two digits and one cache of three digits. Of course that I collected all those five caches. During three days I found exactly 40 caches including those five. From this five treasures I found as the first "Centennial Memorial" (GCB6C) from 2.6.2001, followed by "Botanical Gardens" (GCB2) from 12.11.2000, "Flagstaff Hill" (GCB0) from 11.11.2000, "Mount Cargill" (GCAF) from 11.11.2000 and "Unity Park" (GCB1) from 12.11.2000. Hopefully I will find some more unique caches like those during my last 3 weeks in New Zealand. Good place for this is also Wellington. The weather during my stay in Dunedin was not very good. It was strong and cold wind and little bit rainy. This cache was my sixth one in Dunadin. The hint "Under concrete, at corner" was for little bit confused. I my opinion, it is not hided under but next to and not under a concrete, but next to a stone. It took me quite long time to find this cache due to looking for the cache under concrete and also there were a people from the boating club very close tu this corner. Greetings from Slovakia Thanks for the cache.
Not so quick find, messed up the coordinate placement of A, B and was looking in wrong place for a while but TFTC amazing day today for it. Log book was a but damp
Another dunnas road trip caching up with kjr. Sunday mission ticking a few more off on our way to port Chalmers tftc
Played Billy Goat Gruff but evidently couldn't count, fortunately Bitsprayer had the numbers that added to the cheksum and soon the find was made.
Thanks

It was lovely down here this morning. Great little multi and a nice quick find. I looked longingly at the new virtual so close yet so far and wondered if I'll ever make it out there. I'll have to think of a plan. TFTC # 12,446
Nice easy multi, got sore ears on the walk back in the cold wind though. TFTC!
Just dropped my son nearby so thought I would pick this quick multi up. Lots of people on the bike path today.
While whiskasnz was rowing on the harbour I went for a stroll and found this nice cache. A cool multi which was easily worked out as I enjoyed the views below. TFTC
This is the 3rd of four multis that I'm doing today for the 4 x 4 challenge. It took me a bit longer to find than it should have. A nice little multi.
A nice quick multi before heading back along the cycle track. Watched the Maritime Fidelity leaving Port - quite a big ship at 183m in length. TFTC
Had two Mysteries and one Trad completed today so why not a quick Multi before going home on a beautiful day. TFTC PAF
Nice quick multi. Had to come back to complete as muggles lingered yesterday. Lovely spot. TFTC
Walked out to this one whilst staying in Dunedin for a couple of days. Enjoyed collecting the information and the it was off to GZ where a short search revealed the hiding place.
No-one was around on a drizzly day like today so there was no trouble with muggles today. I did have to recount the third set of steps as I discovered I was one short somewhere. Thanks 
I was muggled out of this on Tuesday, but today there was no=one sitting in the sun near GZ except me. I had time to retrieve the cache from its very close-fitting hidey hole. Thanks.
Conveniently at the Caledonian Ground for school sports day so sneaked out with Cacheasaurus Rex while no-one was looking (Sshh! don't tell anyone!) A nice quick find and back to the fun and games. Three times the cache page refers to Ravensborne but all other references to the suburb that I have checked have a 'u' in the name. The CO is usually pretty accurate in their research so do they know something the rest of us don't? 
If ever there was a reason to abscond from sports day, this was it! A quick counting mission with U.N.C.L.E, and after the smallest amount of dillying and dallying, the container was quickly in hand...cheers CO!
Found on 14/02/2017.
A nice quick multi on an early escaspe from work.

Discovered that coming late Sunday morning was not such a good idea. Found the place crawling with boaties. Collected the numbers I needed and retired till later in the afternoon. Returned 4pm to find GZ deserted. Signed the log with only a couple of seabirds for company. TFTC
Heading down to Port Chalmers with CazyCanyon, decided to tick this one off while going by. TFTC
(FTF) #115 @1132. Noticed this a bit after it came in and thought I'll give it a go. Texted a fellow cache to see if he wanted to come but he was busy so off I went thinking I would meet up with someone else there already looking for it. Get to the GZ to find lots of people there but to sail as the wind is strong today. I started to write down the cache coordinates and noticed that there was a number missing in the east coordinate so I made an educated guess and was right. I had not been over this bridge before so something new for me. As I was heading back to the car I was meet by CJ coming down the steps and we had a chat and headed off before the rain started. Do TFTC .
2TF - Hevic and I had hoped to see a movie this morning, but a mix up with the times meant I was suddenly free to head out and nab some caches. Unfortunately I arrived at GZ too late, as not only had Gadget169 been there, he was also *still* there. Ah well. Not a bad way to start my morning off given the earlier disappointment. An easy find and a long overdue catchup. Cheers!
