Wandering around the local paths and a slight detour up the hill to GZ.Had to wait for a couple of mourners to wander off before the retrieval.TFTC
Easy grab during a short walk on the beach. Nice spot to rest and to enjoy the views.TFTC
We had been walking along the estuary and I saw this one and the others in this area but we saved them until after we were done with the other walkway. Great walking areas around here. Found no problem. TFTC.
Showing the kids some of the older relatives graves while in holiday. Grabbed this geocache while searching graves.
Cache is well buried under fresh loose bark chips, but hint still holds true. All safe and dry. Thanks for the placement and the view
I have always liked cemeteries. The joyful tombstones near the cache were so lovely. Coconuts3 and I had a great find here. Log full. Have put in spare paper but next person or CO PLEASE take replacement log.TFTC
Having a lovely day with busy paws. Lovely walk along the estuary then came here to the cache. A lovely cemetery with many well loves Graves. Thanks for the cache niteowlnz.
whoop whoop finally managed to find one before my father and managed to do so successfully 1 admitted he was distracted because he got a phone call
Beautiful find, and a visit with our love ones who lay near by.Log signed as H&ANga mihi
Three of us are in Nelson for a week ...driving through Motueka today and came to check out this cemetery!
Easy find by Jag50 here today. Thanks.

Day 5 with Supernannny and Net61 in Nelson exploring this part of the country. Nice quick find while exploring the cemetery. Tftc
Quick find on a biking geotour of Mot. Love the cemetary caches, thanks for bringing us here, tftc.
Many of my Maori whanau are buried here. Respect. I added an extra plastic bag and silica packet.
The cemetery was quite busy both with workers and visitors, but luckily not on this side. TFTC!!
Staying in the NZMCA Park nearby and went searching without geopup Finn this time. No long vegetation to contend with at this time of the year. Reasonably quick find today. TFTC.
The turnstile was nearby and somehow looked so dated. In fact the concept is old but their popularity was increased in 1916 when Clarence Saunders opened his first Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Memphis. It was the first self service store and had turnstiles at the entrance and each checkout exit. Tftc
A nice quick find thanks.
Ms_KR and I are off on a wee road trip to Nelson. Today we cruised around Motueka, after the morning rain had stopped.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

I started off fairly early in the morning but there are a few muggles starting to appear now. Once the coast was clear, it was a quick grab.
Thanks for putting this here

Nice easy find thanks cache all good I couldn't help noticing some very old head stones ..some born early mid 1800's..nearly 200 years on ..interesting
Out finding caches that have been published since our last visit. A peaceful stroll through the cemetery. Thanks for the placement niteowlnz
A very peaceful place to sit and contemplate the solid/life/etc. A bit wet to do that today though. TFTC niteowlnz.

A lovely few hours in Motueka, exploring, walking, snacking, chatting, chewing the fat with locals & grabbing a few caches along the way. Can't think of a better way to spend a few hours on a Sunday, on a beautiful spring day, with my better half, the handsome & delectable RNZ

We were a bit hurried here as there were some locals chatting just across the way, s9 it was a case of sign and replace as stealthily and quickly as possible. What I did see of the view looked pretty good on this nice spring day. TFTC niteowlnz.
I had pre-warned RG1972 that we were going to be doing a bit of caching today, because it’s one of the few days I have left (4 I think) where I need to for a calendar project.
So we decided to drive to Motueka and have a bit of a walk around.
A good mixture of caches and 6 adventure labs too, meaning the latest souvenir offering is safely bagged. We had lunch on the waterfront and RG enjoyed walking around the town she grew up in visiting old haunts and telling me stories, most of which can’t be repeated here.
Thanks all COs.

Before jumping in, I scanned the area for the most likely place and was rewarded with a quick find. TFTC,
Having spent a useful hour or so at a CITO event in Nelson I took the opportunity to head out to Motueka, a caching area I have neglected for too long.
Not much going on here today - probably less so than usual - given the weather.
Picking my way through the headstones, I spotted where I needed to aim for. Quick find.
Thanks niteowlnz

First time here having a look around and so I decided to come find this cache. Spot on coords and then the cachers camo led to a quick find. Thanks niteowlnz.
We needed to find five caches today and with a new cache nearby to this one I decided to head over this way. I had prefound this one way back when we were streaking, in case we needed to find a cache in the dark. But the streak ended before we needed this one, so today is the day to turn this one into a smiley. As I arrived there was a man on a lawn mower making cemetery all nice and tidy, so I just wandered along nice and slowly to make sure I could not be seen so while the mower man was heading in the other direction I went straight to where the cache was and the log was signed and returned as I found it.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley
