Quick find Thanks

Found easily once we had located the little park which we didn't know was there! Dropped off tb. Sl. Tftc

Kids are on a roll with finds today!!

TFTC nice find in a great wee park did not take too long

In Christchurch with BCD doing an airport dropoff. Time to head back to Geraldine with a stop in Rolleston along the way. Nice quick find here when found right specimen TFTC

1st easy find for the kids. Wish they were all that colour!

All caches should be that colour, it would be much easier! Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 2069

Cool spot. Found but no pen inside so couldn’t sign. No trades either so has been pilfered by someone Will try bring something by next time. Thanks for the cache!

Back in Rolleston, back to this small park. I would disagree with the hint a bit. It's not a tree, it's a shrub, IMO.
Otherwise cache now all good!

TFTC!

Visited the GZ and yes the cache had gone, replaced with new cache a little smaller and its attached to the a tree with loose zip ties

A few DNFs, think that this was after I had seen some council workers clearing up the area. Cache is now an Orange box in a tree in front of the cabbage free.

Found empty container but no cache

DNF

No luck here today - found a container but not sure if it held the cache??

Found with Julius family while on Christmas holiday in South Island and Stewart Island. Logging now as I have my own account. TFTC

Another one found by lil Soso today. Glad I had the girls to help hunt. TFTC

Tftc

Real Bush bashing fun. Thanks team. No pen tho.

DNF
Looked behind two cabbage trees but no success...
Only got entangled in those pesky bushes.

A little tricky as overgrown now hehe!

Catching up with a friend for coffee in Rolleston. Made sure we left home a little early so we could hunt a couple of caches. TFTC

I think this may have migrated a little from where it's meant to be. Replaced where found. Tftc.

Thanks

Had cachelet #2 and #3 with me today and we headed out to do some maintenace in Darfield and surrounding area. Headed out this way to grab this cache to finish off Rollytown for now. Had a great play at the massive fancy playground near the pool.

Thanks for the cache StJohnNZ.

Quick find. TFTC.

Time to collect the missing caches in Rolleston. This was an easy find, but much more work to open the container. TFTC

Found a while ago with my two cousins had a lot of fun thanks a lot

replaced as found.

Lovely afternoon for a caching wander round Rolleston.

Forgot my pen but great hide!

Tftc #teamawesome. I forgot to take a pen to sign the log but i did take the trackable

Dropped off a travel bug that I found out another cash that I own in the city onwards little travel bag as you journey across the ocean swell

That was an easy find. Thank you.

Nice easy find!

Nice wee park. Tftc by

Was too dark out there. Will come back.

Nice hide keep up the good work

After making a fool of myself we found the cache. Great place for a hide

TFTC fun find

The trees were wet after last nights rain so not the most pleasant experience tftc

Nice easy find - lovely morning for a walk! TFTC

Awesome cache biggest I've found so far

I started looking near the wrong trees. The second attempt was much quicker and it was soon found. Our geo dog Jesse would love to be a pet therapy animal and is very good with children. TFTC

The kids over the fence were having a lot of fun by the sounds of them. St Johns do a fantastic job with everything they do thanks. one of my sons volunteers regularly as part of an ambulance crew and the other currently works in their call centre. TFTC # 11,620

Took way longer than it should of to find but got in the end. TFTC

Found 5/11/17.

Little muggles in bushes nearby. Didn't know until we found but I they stayed in the whole time. So all good. Tftc

Heard a few voices and wrongly assumed they were on the other side of the fence. So I was stuck in the bushes, thankfully in the right spot! Signed my name in full, unfortunately theroamingreliever only got incoherent panic scribble. But he was there! Tftc

Found it.

7714. Found the car seat first! Strange object to be in the bushes! No room in our trash bag for it! Thanks for the cache. Now a drive straight home. Iris and Rodney

You guys do a great job. Nice easy find tftc StJohnNZ

TFTC. Out with kotukuSI for a little fun after the Canada Day Event.
Sorry for the late logging - catching up.
Thanks StJohnNZ for placing the cache.

Checked on this for the owner. All good and still where was placed ready for the next finder

Wow! That was hard as we were trying to be quiet and stealthy but ...
. ? cheers

Extreme stealth was need for this as it sounded like there was a muggle over the fence 2 blokes hiding in the bushes found with abxt350

Bit if a look not too wet thankfully. Thought we were getting muggled but turned out to be Bald Ed. Tftc dropped 3x TB

found all safe and secure on a caching adventure with team_macdonald... i once devoted 12 years of my life as divisional manager, volunteer ambo officer, and instructor whew it was a real whirlwind and a lot of time spent standing on the side of rugby fields etc TFTC

2 July 2017 2:26 PM. MacPacParents found after close by event. TFTC StJohnNZ

A bit of a grey day but am out celebrating Canada Day. So why not find some geocaches and attend an event with my good friend Bbear44. We saw 2Wombles and PopMac as we headed for the alley way. It was a nice stroll from the event and a nice sized geocache. I picked up two trackables too.

Find out more about New Zealand's next big event [Oamaru Geofest](http://oamarugeofest2017.wixsite.com/geocachingevent)

Thanks. for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 4937 for me.

Purdiepurdie & I used the vent to launch an epic afternoon of caching. This cache was one of a few near the event.
Thanks, StJohnNZ for placing & maintaining this cache.

Out touring around the outskirts of Rolleston prior to attending the caching event to be held at a town park in 20 mins time. Pretty easy find as it was clearly visible in the hands of TwoSharpe as I approached from 50 metres. Nice one boys. TFTC StJohnNZ

A quick find but had trouble getting the lid off so sat on nearby seat. Big enough for a couple of small books. Was joined by another geocacher and he quickly signed the logbook and we returned the cache to it's hiding place.

Walked up to this one after being at the nearby event. Nice size. Found with Nosynel who took a couple of TB that had only just been dropped off. Cheers for the smile.

Found after attending the nearby event today. Dropped off two TBs. Thanks for the cache.

#2,774: Voluntary Smiling!
I came to this one with GeoYoungling #3 after the Blame Canada event today. Met another wayward cacher at GZ, so finding it was as easy as looking in her hands! All in good shape!!
SL/TFTC!!

Of course after attending the nearby event today we had to stop here for a find before heading home. Thanks for the cache.

Possibly gone? Searched for ages

A great morning caching with daughter! We set off rather early and so had a good taste of the frost. As the day went on, the weather progressively warmed up to comfortable temperatures; however, we did not measure the day in degrees but number of finds instead Thank you to all CO's for keeping us busy!!

On this cold, frosty morning, the stars were aligned perfectly... Husband would look after the baby, and mum and I could go out geocaching for the morning! Wahooooooo!!! Perfect, as I need to get the find rate up, but the baby hates being in the car... not very good for caching at all!!!! So a cold early morning start of waking up at 5.30am in order to find as many as possible before the clock hit 12 noon!

Mum popped out for the find here while I fueled up my energy supplies!

TFTC!!

Thanks for the cache! A good spot for a wee run around with the toddler Picked up a Trackable and also dropped one off. Cheers St Johns for all the work you do!

Tftc great big cache easy to find

Not too hard in the dark! Nice big bucket so left a TB. Thanks for the hide.
