Logs
Biked from Pinders Pond to find this geocache, had morning tea and went back. 30kms.
Took longer than I should have to find the cache because I was looking at the wrong angle .
Container lid won't stay on and is rusted. A new container is needed. Old logs are sodden. Thankyou to the person who left a waterproof sheet.

Nice cache! We stay in Millers flat for the night, so this is a real good walk for the evening. Thank you!
Quick easy find while on our way to Pinders Pond paper very wet, have put somemore paper in - TFTC
Heading inland on our honeymoon exploring places we often drive past. Lots of history around the cemetery, a nice quick find. TFTC
Met my neighbour's from Alexandra. There were four people and one dog helping me find it. Good cache
Riding the Clutha Gold. Cemetary worth a walk-round. Cache needs replacing but thanks for bringing me here.
Found early this morning most people are still asleep at the camp! Thanks for hiding, the container and log could do with replacing at some stage.
A quick detour after lunching at the cafe to collect this one. My GPS was off a little but the hint helped. TFTC
When I got to gz I realised what the cache title was about. The neighbour put on some nice loud music for us. Thanks for the placement
Doing a return cycling trip from Beaumont with Mr i-gotit and Mr and Mrs KiwiChris and this was my only unfound cache on the route so I had to stop here before retiring to the busy nearby cafe. I was a little apprehensive because of the recent DNF but it was nicely tucked in at the obvious place. Thanks Debsnz for this smiley.
On our first bike trail Gathering a few caches on the way. Clutha gold is certainly priceless.
Spent 20mins scratching around but our first DNF. Will keep track of this one and maybe return if we see someone else has found it. Where was Norman!!!?
We had been staying in the area for a couple of nights and enjoying some of the Clutha Gold cycle trail, so didn’t want to leave town without looking for a few local caches.
We hadn’t long arrived at the cemetery and started looking for this one, when an elderly man (Norman, aka Larry) from a nearby house turned up at the gate and asked if we wanted to know where it was. He said he often sees people looking for the cache and occasionally comes over to talk to them. We located the cache quickly and signed it while having an interesting and humorous conversation with him.
TFTC debsnz!

Definitely lived up to its 1/1 rating. Parked right beside the cache and jumped back into air conditioning of the car to sign. Man, it’s hot today.

Decided to take a short break in Miller’s Flat and strolled along to this cache. Cold and drizzly so did not linger. Will return and have a wander around another day
Cache 424 wanted to cross the blue bridge so used caches as a good excuse this was cache 2 of 2, nice easy find just outside of the cemetery Cache is in good shape T4TC
Nice one with VDH56 and family. An older man wandered up to us and started telling us where to look but we had already found it, so explained to him about it as he keeps seeing people stopping here (don't think he is any the wisher).
Time for another find, a little bit tricky but found where we first thought. TFTC. P &Vee, and granddaughter Juliet, learning how to be a cacher
Biking from Beaumont to Millars Flat today so really pleased to be able to grab a few caches along the way
Thanks to the caches owners for placing and maintaining

Came up to the area with friends to see if we could get some of the last cherries of the season plus the nearby restaurant serves amazing squid, so well worth the trip on the lovely day.

Again easy if you choose the right one. GPS a little off to get me thinking more.
Caching along the back road. Travelling home from Wanaka. Paying respect to my wifes Great Grandfather.
A quick find in Millers Flat today. Located easily using the car as a shadow. A lovely peaceful spot today and a nice spot for a cache. TFTC [^]
Parked the vehicle in just the right spot to block anyone seeing what I was doing. A nice quick find here. tftc
Never thought I'd get interested in cemetaries but whenyou think about it they're a history lesson for us all. Tftc
#17059. We've visited quite a few cemeteries on our trip to Cental Otago. A quick find here. TFTC.
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 8 of our extended Easter break, today we are travelling from Clyde to Dunedin via Lake Mahinerangi on a beautiful Anzac day.
There was a camper van in the cemetery - what the? I suppose the neighbours are quiet. A quick find, third of 4 caches found in this wee settlement. TFTC.

One of several caches located today in the Roxburgh area, including a 40km bike ride on the Clutha Gold trail from Roxburgh to Miller’s Flat return. Great day for it and splendid scenery!
The cache was a quick find, our first one after lunching at the nearby tavern. #2403. TFTC.

Found on a cycle ride down the Clutha Gold Trail Roxburgh to Lawrence. A lovely ride with vistas of the Clutha River, the soft spring green growth on the willows and snow on the tops TFTC
Nice quick park and grab on my way past today. I love wandering round cemeteries but no time for that today as I've still got a way to go and time is ticking along. TFTC # 12,891
