3 Grey Ducks Rolleston, South Island, New Zealand
By Hamstick on 20-Feb-19. Waypoint GC83R0P

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

I no longer live in Rolleston so can't easily keep an eye on it.

The cords were all over the place so extended search and then found quickly. TFTC.

There were no Ducks in residents today.It took a while to track down,because our GPS wasn't playing the Game..TFTC

Quick find on our day of Caching. TFTC

Came to Rolleston for the Event and then spent afternoon and early evening caching. We searched along time here, got feet wet in mud turning over every stone. Sadly not for us today.

Found it

Been here so many times and didn't know there was a geocache. Find it.

Almost gave up on this one

Good wee hiding spot

It is tricky

Enjoyable stroll in the sunshine; TFTC

Found it

Found some inquisitive ducks but sadly no cache

Found it

The last cache I looked for was a DNF. SO glad to have found this clever wee thing so quickly. Maybe I should stop on a high for the day?
A neat wee park here, I'm sure it's even better on a warm summer day.

Find # 3842

StreetWalker and I both needed at least several finds today for a calendar day, and Rolleston had quite a few newish caches we hadn't found, so despite the inclement weather, we headed south west.
Nice spot, which would be even nicer in summer! We were watched by one grey duck while searching. Luckily I approached from the right angle so was able to spot a likely hiding place and there was the cache. Nicely done. Thanks for bringing me here and TFTC.

#17252. I thought the cache might be in plain sight, but it turned out to be well tucked away. Troodles found after a short search. TFTC.

Took awhile but found eventually, tftc.

Really clever cache. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful spot. Lots of ducks around too. Sl. Tftc

Hadn't been out caching for the day with mum in forever, so had arranged today as a day to colour in the calendar a bit more, and find a whole bunch more caches if possible.

We ended up with about 40 for the day, along with a few DNFs, and ended up somehow all the way in Ashburton - that was not fully expected - but the places caching takes you! Haha!

Was so great to tick so many off, and great to just have a day of annual leave off motherhood too, while hubby looked after little miss 2, so I could head out & play!

Thanks to all the COs that we could have this day!

TFTC!!

Geocaching date with daughter for the whole day, yipee! The hardest part was to aim for those neither of us has found, so there was a slight overlap. Great fun and good chats along the way. Not quite sure how the parking is on top of the cache? TFTC!!

could not figure this one out!

In Christchurch with BCD doing an airport dropoff. Time to head back to Geraldine with a stop in Rolleston along the way. Spotted the 3 ducks no problem but took a bit of wandering around before BCD finally had his hands on the cache TFTC

Up in the big smoke with kjr to drop off my niece at the airport to good excuse to grab a few on the way home .
Couple of kids trying to fish rubbish out of the pond so was able to locate this without being noticed tftc

What a special spot, wouldn't have known about it if not for caching. Ducks were disappointed that no treats were forthcoming, I felt a bit mean! Cache all safe and dry. TFTH

This is a nice location to hide a cache. I had to check a few places before I found the treasure which was hidden a bit better than I expected it to be.

Great cache tftf

Nabbing a few of the newer Rolly caches on the way home from work. There's lots of lovely parkland out here. Thanks for the cache. Inundated by ducks of course!

Out on a Mad Monday Mission to tidy up a bit of Rolly town with TG and we stopped by to do the deed. Yes, one, two, three and number four being the cache indeed.

Thanks for the cache Hamstick.

This was a great hide. Even after I gave master 13 the hint he found it bit brushed it aside not realising that he had already found it lol

On the way to dinner in Rolly and this was on the radar. Not long to duck shooting season either, off to peg out my maimai this weekend Lots of ducks in here having a nice time in the cool shade. Cheers

Nice easy find on a great day out and was visited by some real ducks too. TFTH

Besieged by real ducks who were obviously used to humans. They came right up to our feet. Such a pity well meaning folk feed them bread. (We could see the bag tags on the ground), but a fun little find and a place we had never been to. Thanks.

Some very real ducks here today as well as the permanent residents.
Coords point a bit away from the spot, towards the street but the cache is really not hard to find. Just move a bit closer to the pond if you cannot
EDIT: Should be spot-on now that CO has changed them.

Went out for an evening stroll across Foster Park and down the path towards Faringdon past the ducks. The cache took an embarrassingly long time to find. It really isn't that difficult!
TFTC.

A lovely spot to rest and watch the ducks (grey and otherwise) an easy find on a sunny day. TFTC

Cool wee spot. Gosh rollytown is spreading fast! Quick find and sign. Cool first cache and nice placement! Cheers.

quick find tftc

Finished at the gym and saw the icon on my phone screen that new mail had been received. A new cache...mmmm for where will it be I thought. Ohh look in the neighborhood.
Where....and when was it published...ohh look 10 mins ago...
Supermarket shopping went by the way side, will do that after this, on home and a dash the the gz I feel.
Arriving there was no persons about, so with phone in hand went to look for the hide. Mmmm not where gps was pointing to and it was bouncing all over the show dark clouds rolling in. Cache sense took ahold and ventured to where I thought it might be. Cleverly hidden but obvious to a geocacher.
Boom!
{FTF} #firsttofind #founditfunckydance yes...yes...yes! stoked...
Now back to the adventure at the supermarket..yuppieee.
Loved the hide and how well the log has been secured and safe from the elements.

Surprised to find this 3rd to find but it was raining. Worth getting out of the car for. Got slightly challenged finding our way out of this subdivision! So many new places to go caching! Tftc

A quick and easy find. Decided to come back home via the south side of the Waimak. No logs seen so we were possibly in for a first, but no we were way too late. Thanks KM for the personal notification! Cheers

We planned a wee walk and a drive to Oxford today as the weather was supposed to be rubbish. Turned out to be pretty good apart from the 2TF in the rain at Rolleston.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers
