Please try and be stealthy or subtle if at all possible!!!!!
You may need to gain some elevation unless you are tall!
Hope this third one is more permanent than last two..

08-Dec-18
Lovely little library. Quick find. TFTH
 
02-Dec-18
Cache is a little exposed. I hope it lasts. We waited for some muggles to leave, quickly signed the log book just as some more muggles arrived! TFTC
 
27-Nov-18
Nice quick find on a rainy walk Smile
 
22-Nov-18
A quiet place after the event, no traffic or muggles to really worry about. Cheers
 
06-Nov-18
After waiting for a bus that just wouldn't leave it was a quick find. I have never stopped and looked at this new library even though my supermarket is across the road! TFTC
 
03-Nov-18
This took far too long. We overthought the simple cache! TFTC
 
01-Nov-18
The first time I went and had a look I couldn't find it, but was driving past yesterday and saw it quite obviously so yay!
 
27-Oct-18
Tftc. Took us longer than it should have but we got there in the end.
 
Great clue thanks
 
09-Oct-18
Have sent down a new cache ......any day now ........
 
07-Oct-18
Looked in all obvious places
 
23-Sep-18
Good find, nice and easy!!
 
16-Sep-18
The hint is out of date, it's low! TFTC, a bit muggly on a lovely Sunday afternoon.
 
15-Sep-18
Finally. And even today it took longer than it should have and we needed to read a bit of recent logs. TFTC
 
09-Sep-18
Daughter found it within seconds! Thanks
 
07-Sep-18
Thanks for the find. Not at eye height anymore.
 
07-Sep-18
Nice find tools a while
 
02-Sep-18
#16112. Last cache of the day. I spotted it and direct Troodles to it. Good to meet the CO at her event this morning. TFTC.
 
02-Sep-18
Found with StreetWalker after a walk on the Port Hills. After attending the CO's event in St Martins this morning, we needed to walk off our calorific breakfast. It was a bit more challenging than expected, so it was good to get an easy drive by afterwards.
A quick find, but had trouble opening the plastic bag as one part of the top had ripped off just above the zip part. SW persevered, and got the bag open, so we left it unzipped. Now time to head home for a well deserved cuppa. TFTC.
 
01-Sep-18
Not eye height any more...Bend low and feel......
 
01-Sep-18
All good to go again!
As someone mentioned...the structure the original cache was on/in has totally gone!
Have put replacement in a new place ....down low....magnetic.
There is a nearby seat to sit and sign .
( Will change description and hint when I get to a computer )
Go find !!!!!!
 
12-Aug-18
Didn't find think you should see if it is dtill there
 
12-Aug-18
Hmm had a quick look while catching the bus but couldn’t see anything.
 
12-Aug-18
Will check when down here on 31st of this month.
Sorry....
 
03-Aug-18
Sorry for hold up....will be down to sort this in 3 weeks../ End August.
May need to change the hide...
 
28-Jul-18
Looks like this one has been taken Sad
 
28-Jul-18
Mmmm, no luck with this one... maybe it’s been muggled?
 
21-Jul-18
Sorry for the late logging. I had a great day driving around by myself finding caches to get the souvineers and work towards my MGSc, but not so much logging each of them. The plan was to find as many of the remaining Fresh Breath caches that I hadn't got the previous Saturday as well as any extras that I went past before heading into Christchurch for this event.

Well I see I wasn't the only one that couldn't find it so that means I wasn't going blind, glad to see it has been reinstated so I will have to try again next time I am in the area.

Even though it was getting late on a Saturday night there still seemed to be a steady stream of busses going past. I gave up after the second one in the hope that I would have more luck somewhere else on my way home.
 
05-Jun-18
Seems to be all good here after all!
Thanks for the heads up.
 
26-May-18
Add me to the list! Had a good look around, with the place to myself, but no love.
 
26-May-18
Will get this checked....seems as though changes at gz have compromised this cache hide ....
 
17-May-18
No luck this evening
 
04-May-18
No chance for us, maybe it is gone? The very specific hint should have made it an easy find - not for us today
 
27-Apr-18
My map was quite precise, so I immediately suspected a few places. A quick and easy find at night, no muggles waiting around here.

Thank you for the cache!

----------------
Visiting New Zealand for three weeks. After hanging around Auckland for a few days it was time to head south! Early morning flight to Nelson, a walk in Abel Tasman National Park with camping in Torrent Bay, then back to Marahau and a ride to Kaikoura. A short ride to Christchurch, then two rainy days in Dunedin and Invercargill, before beautiful hiking in Queenstown, Wanaka and Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. West Coast was tricky as expected but not too wet, then a rush to Picton to explore the North Island for a few days.
 
23-Apr-18
Grabbed between traffic
 
16-Apr-18
Out geocaching with David (Nodo) and Poppa (Sallies). Zach.
 
16-Apr-18
A super quick find.
Thank you. David.
 
03-Apr-18
Needed to go to the supermarket and decided to go across town to the one nearby so we could grab this cache at the same time. A speedy find and then patient wait for muggles to go before replacing. Tftc!

All done with work for the day, and taking the long way home before we needed to pick my daughter up from kindy!

Well, today ended up pretty productive with 3 finds! Woo hoo!! Smile
A few new ones in the area, made for some quick grabs.

TFTC!! Smile

On a big Geocachinground to get my 999th Cache, I was searching this Cache.
Almost got seen from the library, but they were too busy. Luckily

7772. Out and about on the bike after a weekend of nausea. Trying to clear away the cobwebs! Checked out some of our caches and found three others. This was number three for the day and another easy one. Funny how nobody takes any notice if you are on a bike, but always look if you are in the campervan! Thanks for the cache. Rodney.
 
24-Mar-18
We needed some groceries and decided to check the GPS before heading into the store. Yup, just a few steps away so cache first, groceries next. TFTH supernannny
 
21-Mar-18
I had some extra teaching duties this afternoon, but that meant that I was staying in town for the event, and with a couple of hours to go caching, too! The only thing was that I was not really dressed for it... Luckily no issues with the dress code here, and luckily the bust had just left, collecting all the muggles standing by, so I had free range! TFTC!!
 
21-Mar-18
Found the cache easy enough. Looks like some muggles have also discovered it by the last couple of logs. Tftc
 
22-Feb-18
It was quikly but funny, thanks Smile
 
03-Feb-18
Easy but fun find.
Tftc
 
27-Jan-18
Right by New World. These caches near supermarkets mean I don’t have to shop.
 
27-Jan-18
Casual enquiries about bus times with someone waiting, whilst one of us snaffled the cache! TFTC

Twelveth stop on today's cyclocache ride from Opawa to Halswell and back. I rode past here earlier this morning but there was a lady waiting so I didn't stop. I remember this area from when I joined the Farmy Army and shovelled liquifaction mud from around houses in Wades Ave and other nearby streets. There was nobody around when I biked back in the afternoon so with the hint a very quick find was made. Thanks for the cache supernannny.

Last one of 72 caches located in Christchurch during a 13-day Christmas/New Year holiday. Stopped to look for this one in the rain. Had a quick hunt before a mini-bus pulled up, followed by a big bus. Waited for them to depart but they weren’t in any rush. Carried out the errand we were in the area to do, then returned to the cache a short while later. This time it was a quick find. Now back home to Wellington. #1611. TFTC.
 
03-Jan-18
A quick find here while heading to the supermarket. JD and I signed the log as Jeje. Tftc.
 
03-Jan-18
Found after a great afternoon Geocaching. This was the last as we picked up supplies at the supermarket. Tftc!
 
30-Dec-17
No problem with the find but there was no log in the cache so back to the car for a sheet of notepaper. After replacing the cache I read about all the history and so really appreciate the link between that and the cache title. TFTC supernanny # 11,745
 
26-Dec-17
Had to wait until the people at the bus stop had left and it was then a quick find.
 
26-Dec-17
Cricket was rained off so went caching. Cleaned up some caches close to home. Got some tea while here too.
 
25-Dec-17
No problems locating today after Christmas lunch. Thanks for the cache

24-Dec-17
Out doing some last minute caches before Christmas TFTC
 
19-Dec-17
Walked to GZ, spied the cache and wouldn't you just know it, a bus rolls up. It must have been running ahead of time because the driver gives me a wave and then just sits there.
Oh well. Better do a quick lap of the nearby shops and hope he leaves soon..... Success! TFTC.
 
25-Nov-17
In Christchurch for the weekend with my partner and while she is doing a 2 day course I came up with her as it isvthe perfect time to log lots of caches and try to log 2000 before next year. TFTC
 
23-Nov-17
Quick find on the way to school pick up, nice hide
 
20-Nov-17
Out on a Mad Monday Mission. Grabbing a few around town and surrounding area.

Thanks for the cache supernannny.

Nearing my 500. Quick find. Tftc
 
20-Nov-17
Sat and logged and then had to wait for muggles for a while to return. Tftc
 
17-Nov-17
A nice quick find in an obvious spot. A nice new library!. Cheers.

Ms KR unfortunately had to work this weekend, so I went for a few caches around town that needed a wee bit of time to finish off. Cheers.
 
05-Nov-17
Took a few minutes to find kinda hard tftc
 
29-Oct-17
Found it neat place
 
25-Oct-17
Interesting read, thanks supernannny.
 
10-Oct-17
Thanks for the cache. Quick find, but as sitting and logging a large green muggle mobile pulled up beside me and I had to act nonchalant while it idled. Finally stopped raining after a few wet days.
 
02-Oct-17
TFTC.
 
29-Sep-17
Helping at the school walkathon I was stationed on this corner checking off pupils as they passed. I took advantage of a gap in the traffic to grab this little cache. Tftc

Nice easy sunday morning find. No muggles. Tftc

Went past the other day but then the bus stop was full of people so didn't even attempt this.
Now, biking back from Opawa Sunday market, the bus stop was completely unattended and we were free to make our move.

The library looks real cute Smile

TFTC!

St Martins is Womble Barbara's old stamping ground.This area has certainly changed,since the 40s..
We had to be stealthy,to retrive it,but we're good at doing that..TFTH
 
08-Sep-17
TFTC. I saw this published but was just too far away to have a look earlier. I have watched this buildings rebuild with interest. It's a cute library.
Thanks supernanny for placing the cache.
 
07-Sep-17
A great place to hide a cache and a quick find given the location. Could be quite a challenge at certain times of the day. Nice to see the brand new library now back open. Tftc
 
04-Sep-17
Today was challenging. I am on a mission to get my calendar statistics up to 5 each day. The next challenge was work, followed by dropping youngest son at work, then finding time before leading my Kea Club at the Scouts den. Mission accomplished thanks to your hide.

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

Thanks. supernannny for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 5040 for me.
 
02-Sep-17
Swung past in the late afternoon. Drizzling and not many around. Easy enough to make the find and sign. Nice new library. Cheers.
 
02-Sep-17
Decided to give this a try on a miserable day. The strategy worked! I over thought the first places, - - then there it was. CO might need to plastic bag the log, it's not weather proof and I tipped a load of water out. TFTC and now the sun has come out. Cool
