Mystery of the Wellington Station Bell Woburn, North Island, New Zealand
By CrystalFairy on 04-Jun-19. Waypoint GC88Z1R

Once again we discover new things on our walks through the city. The train station, the parliament buildings and the churches are beautiful buildings.We enjoy a delicious coffee and browse in the shops. But our hobby is not neglected either and we can conjure up a few smileys.Many thanks to all owners and greetings from the Moorhelmi

Found with Gazania Rigens and Zouavesauvage today after a voyage to GC46. Nice and straightforward. Bell has a good sound to it too. Had to weirdly crop the photo to not spoil one of the answers. Thanks!

Found with Gazania Rigens (who has sent our answers) and Eriallo as per their logs.TFTC

It was good to get out of the wind for a while and admire the grand station building. The football fans made quite a bit of noise, let's hope their team won't disappoint. The answers were all found easily. TFTC!

Passing through station on the way back from catching transport to GC46... Surrounded by Phoenix fans in their yellow and black...Tftc

Happy New Zealand trip with geocaching.A pity were with muggle friends and cant visit as much as geocaches as we like. I appreciate all the caches we passed and visited.Thanks, CrystalFairy, for the cache. Greetings from Taiwan.

After a great few days in Dunedin, I had a one-night stop over in Wellington so made the most of it and headed out caching. A rainy morning didn't stop my half day expedition, I enjoyed visiting the sites in Wellington!Answers sent to the CO, pic attached as required.Thanks CrystalFairy for bringing me here.

Out with Nildran enjoying the sunshine TFTC

Out caching with TL. TFTC! Sending answers for teamlarcee and nildran.

Finally got around to logging while waiting for the train home.

Found the bell

A sunny but cold southerly and commuters diverted to busses for Hutt Valley. TFTC close to my 3000

#3784 I am on my geocaching holiday in New Zealand. Today is my day 3, and I walked around Wellington and found some geocaching here.Found it!CrystalFairy, thank you for the cache!-crystaloops from Taipei, Taiwan on October 3, 2024 @ 16:47:56[GC88Z1R] Mystery of the Wellington Station Bell was a D1.0/T1.0 Virtual Virtual Cache at the time of finding.

First time on a train for a very long time today so decided to knock this virtual off while it was quiet!

Found

Visited this months ago but forgot to grab one of the answers! Back today to admire the bell and complete the questions. Train trivia always one of those things to keep in the back of the brain for geocaching. TFTC!

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I live full-time in our caravan travelling around NZ, visiting the places we want to visit & doing the things we want to do and fitting in a bit of Geocaching here & there currently heading down to Wellington for a few days we caught the train in this morning for a days exploring answers were easily found answers & photos have been sent to Cache Owner pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally TFTC ...

Very interesting information about the bell, thanks for making it aware. TFTVRapu Taonga

We had a wander up to the capital last month to watch Boney M in concert.. it was ok but we also participated in a little bit of caching as well.. so at GZ we got the necessary info and then had a ride out on a train.. nice little virtual here thank you

On our last morning in New Zealand, we woke to torrential rain. But by 10am, things had brightened a little & we split up for a miraculously dry two hour window for me to find a last few caches, whilst my family returned to Te Papa.This was my next stop & my second visit here. The area was closed off when I was in Wellington three weeks ago but today I could gather the answers & take the requisite photo. I have already had approval to log from the CO & my photo is attached.Found at 11:29Cache #10460TFTC CrystalFairy

We tried Todo this yesterday but it was fenced off so in the city again and managed to get to the bell. Answers sent by Tizziewhizz as my email won't send. Thanks for placing.

Tftc. Came here yesterday but couldnt access bell so returned today.

Had a few minutes to spare waiting for the steam train to make its way back to take us home. TFTC on a beautiful Wellington day have lived here and used these trains for a long time and this was new history for me

A nice find while exploring Wellington, thanks for bringing me here!

Cruised into port today and then spent some time caching around town.Greetings from Answers sent - thanks for the cache!

It took me a few minutes to find what I needed, but the answer(s) have been sent to the CO. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!The day:I had a long way to go as I continued my solo travel from Atlanta, U.S.A. around the north island. I knew that my next stop would involved a 2 night stay which I was really looking forward to - getting up and driving to a new spot every day is exhausting!It was a little cloudy and windy in the morning but eventually the sun came out to greet me. I had a lot of caches to find, so good weather was going to be helpful if I wanted to make it to Wellington by the time I had planned.It was a great day of caching in New Zealand. I knew my trip here was soon coming to an end, so I wanted to enjoy every minute. Many thanks to the COs who placed and maintain these caches for folks like me to find.

Our first whole day in Wellington. Sunny day, nice caches. Greetings from Finland Thank you for this cache.

We (raija485 and I) have few days to search geocaches and explore the city at the same time. As for the weather, it's really nice to be here and move around (as long it's not raining).Thanks for the virtualcache and greetings from Finland!

Two Aussies in NZ for 6weeks. Just did 3 weeks in the South Island and now about to embark on our time on the North Island.While waiting for the Northern Explorer we had time to do your virtual. Thanks for this adventure tftc

On our sixth day in New Zealand we walk the beautiful Tongariro Crossing Alpine trail. This nice cache lay on our way.TFTCHennesAt the end comes the poem of the day.New Zealand By James K. Baxter (for Monte Holcroft)These unshaped islands, on the sawyers bench,Wait for the chisel of the mind,Green canyons to the south, immense and passive,Penetrated rarely, seeded onlyBy the deer-cullers shot, or else in the northTribes of the shark and the octopus,Mangroves, black hair on a boxers hand.The founding fathers with their guns and bibles,Botanist, whaler, added bones and namesTo the land, to us a bridleAs if the id were a horse: the swampy townsLike dreamers that struggle to wake,Longing for the poets truthAnd the lovers pride. Something new and oldExplores its own pain, hearingThe rains choir on curtains of grey mossOr fingers of the Tasman pressingOn breasts of hardening sand, as actorsFind their own solitude in mirrors,As one who has buried his dead,Able at last to give with an open hand.

Thanks for showing. - T4TC!

Old stations are always interesting to discover, Wellington Station is no exception.Thanks for the cache./herrFamaxe from Sweden

Mit 37 Geocachern, aus Deutschland, Dnemark, Luxemburg und der Schweiz, ging es auf groe Reise. Drei Wochen nach Australien und Neuseeland, beginnend mit einem Zwischenstopp in Doha in Katar. So lange und so weit weg von zu Hause war ich noch nie. Eine aufregende Zeit.Beim Geocaching lag der Focus auf viele unterschiedliche Cachetypen, aber auch besondere Wertungen, Challenges und besonders ein paar sehr alte Caches aus den Jahren 2000 und 2001. Aber auch natrlich ganz besonders die Geocaches, die zu Fu vom Hotel aus gut erreichbar waren.Natrlich wurde stand aber nicht nur das Geocaching im Mittelpunkt, sondern auch die Sehenswrdigkeiten der einzelnen Stationen, die wir besuchten, verdienten ihre Aufmerksamkeit.In die Logbcher trugen wir uns mit unserem Teamnamen "Downunder 2024" ein, Logbuchplatz sparend und effizient.Es war eine ganz besondere Reise im groen Team, das auch sehr viel Spa gemacht hat.Von Rotorua ging es heute mit dem Bus nach Wellington.Danke fr diesen Geocache. Danke fr die Ausarbeitung. Danke frs Zeigen.Lieber Gru aus Duisburg / DeutschlandAndyDieser Logeintrag wird mit Hilfe von Google bersetzt.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We set off on a long journey with 37 geocachers from Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Three weeks to Australia and New Zealand, starting with a stopover in Doha, Qatar. I have never been so long and so far away from home. An exciting time.When geocaching, the focus was on many different cache types, but also special ratings, challenges and especially a few very old caches from the years 2000 and 2001. But also, of course, especially the geocaches that were easily accessible on foot from the hotel.Of course, the focus wasn't just on geocaching; the sights of the individual stations we visited also deserved attention.We entered our team name Downunder 2024 in the logbooks, saving logbook space and efficiently.It was a very special trip in a large team, which was also a lot of fun.Today we took the bus from Rotorua to Wellington.Thanks for this geocache. Thanks for the elaboration. Thank you for showing me.Kind regards from Duisburg / GermanyAndyThis log entry is translated with the help of Google.

Together with 37 Cachers, we start a journey to Australia and New Zealand via Doha.In Qatar we spent one night and had almost one full day before heading to Sydney.In Australia we visit the cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Cairns. In New Zealand will be Aukland, Rotorua, Wellington, Blenheim, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.To safe Logbook space, we signed the logbooks with our team-name "DownUnder24".Our Teammembers are:\_gc_, AmoebeST, AndyausDu, B@cker-1, Biggidag, Brummelbren, CacheTaucher, cooljo, Fotopinguin, Freizeit-Tina, Gazelle5111, GEO Karen, GoanToni, Hfi1, hupsi-1, karrai*, Leilah03, lenny love, Lupus54, Maxipimpf, muschel3, Ollilein, Opaundenkel, penalty96, Rheins, Simowl, sozioma, Sr. Elli, Team Zyanor, viko76, Webmasterrollerin, Whlhase, XenSuoThank you for the Cache.

After arriving in New Zealand we (Team Downunder24) discovered the beautiful island ???????also by looking for some caches. ??"Mystery of the Wellington Station Bell" was one of my personal favorites of the day, because I like virtuals a little bit more than other types of caches. ?? As described in the listing we looked around for the required log conditions. That wasn't difficult in our large group. Answers were sent from our team. We are about to leave the North Island of New Zealand ???? and continue our bus tour on the South Island. Thanks CrystalFairy for showing that detail??

Together with 36 other geocachers, the KiSt team undertook a very long trip to Australia ???? and New Zealand ???? for three weeks. On both the outward and return journeys, there was a stopover in Doha, the capital of Qatar ????.We experienced a great deal on this trip and gained many very different impressions of the two countries, their nature and their culture. Of course, the main focus was on visiting as many caches of as many different types as possible and also all accessible old cans. However, we also made sure to visit many special places of interest and to gain as comprehensive an impression as possible of nature and its flora and fauna.To save the logbooks, we usually signed in with our team name **Downunder24**. For "special" cans, however, we have not missed the opportunity to leave our nickname as well.This beautiful cache is now also one of our finds.Due to the large number of caches visited, it is unfortunately not possible for us to write an individual log for each can, which is why we would like to apologize to the owners for this collective log.We also met other cachers at some of the events and were able to share our experiences. Many thanks to the event owners!Of course we would like to thank all the owners for showing us the great locations, the sometimes tricky puzzles, exciting multis and wherigos, as well as the interesting virtuals and earth caches - TFTC!!!---In der Besetzung KiSt unternahmen wir zusammen mit 36 weiteren Geocachern fr drei Wochen eine sehr weite Reise nach Australien ???? und Neuseeland ????. Auf der An- und Abreise stand dabei jeweils ein Zwischenstopp in Doha an, der Hauptstadt von Qatar ????.Wir haben auf dieser Reise sehr viel erlebt und viele sehr unterschiedliche Eindrcke von den beiden Lndern, deren Natur und deren Kultur mitgenommen. Natrlich lag ein Hauptaugenmerk darauf, mglichst viele Caches mglichst vieler unterschiedlicher Typen und auch alle erreichbaren alten Dosen zu besuchen. Darber haben wir es aber nicht versumt, vielen besonderen Sehenswrdigkeiten einen Besuch abzustatten und uns von der Natur und deren Flora und Fauna einen mglichst umfassenden Eindruck zu verschaffen.Um die Logbcher zu schonen, haben wir uns dort meist mit unserem Teamnamen **Downunder24** eingetragen. Bei "besonderen" Dosen haben wir es uns aber auch nicht nehmen lassen, zustzlich unseren Nicknamen zu hinterlassen.Auch dieser schne Cache zhlt jetzt zu unseren Funden.Aufgrund der groen Anzahl der besuchten Caches ist es uns leider nicht mglich, zu jeder Dose einen individuellen Log zu verfassen, weshalb wir uns bei den Ownern fr diesen Sammellog entschuldigen wollen.Auf einigen Events haben wir auch andere Cacher kennengelernt und konnten unsere Erfahrungen austauschen. Vielen Dank an die Event-Owner!Natrlich wollen wir uns bei allen Ownern fr das Zeigen der tollen Orte, die teils kniffligen Rtsel, spannenden Multis und Wherigos, sowie die interessanten Virtuals und Earthcaches bedanken - TFTC!!

Caught the train out.A quick find and honestly, I've never noticed this bell before. Obviously, there are muggles everywhere.

Found it.I couldnt get to the sing to read it. The tracks were closed today. The bell is right next to my head.

We visited the Weta workshop in Miramar today, what a great company. Afterwards we have been on some original Hobbit movie places. Finally was a little bit time leftover for Wellington. It is a pity that New Zealand is that far away from our home. TFTC forestcats on world cruise 2024

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 63 - Wellington, Wellington, North Island, Nov Zland (pky ? km) Hned po sndani jsem vyrazila na p prohldku msta. Wellington je msto vtru. Sice bylo krsn a cel den svtilo slunce, ale fiel tak dsn vichr, e mi bral i kiltovku z hlavy. Jinak je to moc roztomil hlavn msto Novho Zlandu pln park a soch v ulicch. la jsem kolem ztoky, pstavu a krsnho ndra a dl do parlamentn tvrti a cestou si prohlela ve mon a samozejm taky lovila keky. Nebylo to nijak snadn, neb u vtiny tradiek nkdo sedl a earthky a virtulky mly dost nejasn otzky, tak jsem netrhala dn rekordy. Pkn byl novogotick devn kostel sv. Pavla i nov art deco katedrla. V Nrodn knihovn jsem la na vstavu slavnch dokument - smlouvy uzaven s Maory o zem a dalch podobnch. Nic moc - v podstat cry potrhanch zaloutlch papr s neitelnm psmem a podpisy. Pro Zland to jsou zakldajc dokumenty, ale kdy to srovnm s naimi o hodn starmi dokumenty s krsnm psmem, kresbami a peetmi, tak m to nijak neoslovilo. A jet po m hlda chtl, a si nechm taku se vemi penzi a kartami leet na zemi ped mstnost. No fakt nevm, co bych mu s tou takou na tch sklennch vitrnch pokodila. Pak jsem obhldla soubor starch i novch budov Parlamentu, ale dovnit se sm jen s organizovanou prohldkou a ty byly pln. Nrodn portrtn muzeum byla pln pohroma, ve vt sti chystali njakou vstavu a ve vstupn sti bylo pr modernch obraz. Pro se to jmenuje portrtn galerie, netum. Myslela jsem si, e bude obdobn jako v Londn, ale rozhodn nen. Ndra je velik a pkn. Krsn opraven star budova se vm potebnm a moc pkn nstupit s kvtinami. Tam jsem si zala na toalety, kter tu jsou veejn, ist, zdarma a vude. I v nejmen obci jsou jasn oznaen smrovky u silnice, kde jsou toalety. To je pro cestovn velmi pjemn. Dokrela jsem do Muzea msta Wellington a to ukazuje v docela pknch expozicch historii msta a taky jeho katastrofy jako zemtesen a potopen velk zaocensk lodi v ztoce apod. Vtr se neutiil, ale alespo trochu zmrnil a po 16.hod a to u jsem mla veho pln kecky a la do pjemn hospody na pivo a konen na mule. Novozlanan jed mule slvky nikoli ern jako my v Evrop, ale zelen a obrovsk. Ale byly dobr a pivko taky. Nejvt a nejslavnj mstn muzeum jsem si nechala na ztra a po oberstven jet obela njak parky a pknou marnu. Pak u m i bolely noiky, tak jsem to nabrala zpt na penzion. Ztra je taky den.Today I had a walking tour of the city of Wellington and I managed quite a lot. I visited the National Library, the National Portrait Gallery, the City Museum, old and new cathedral and, at least from the outside, the set of Parliament buildings. And also many parks and waterfronts and train stations. I also hunted for geocaches in many places. The city is very pleasant with lots of parks and statues, but the wind blows very strongly.

As youngest team member of team GO_Jack, I want to do some virtuals during my six-month trip to New Zealand and Japan.On my first full day in Wellington I take a long walk through the city past various sights. If applicable, the answers to the questions have now been sent. The photo has been edited in such a way that the answer to one of the questions is no longer visible.Our oldest team member is the real train fan, but it was an interesting story.Greetings from The Netherlands.#3.574 - CrystalFairy TFTC!

Interesting history, I recall noticing it years ago and wondering briefly what it's purpose was, then getting swept off with the office-suited humanity, out of the station and off to work

Headed into town to go to the dentist today and picked this up on the way past.Soon had bell found although as a previous person had mentioned I too was surprised it was so small !!Answers soon found and sent to cache owner by tmann421 for us both.

# #7,126 #----------I had attempted this last night but the guards were being funny about people entering the platform at night. This time, it was much easier to access. Took me a minute to find the bell, its much smaller than I expected for some reason. Got the answers and sent them to the CO. TFTC!!! ----------> All geocaches are signed as mmmPIZZA or mPZ

Bit difficult because Station was closed.Thanks

We (findbobi and me) had 3 great days in Wellington, seeing the city and finding many caches.Thank you for a good time

I am with Muggle on a three and half week trip to NZ. Nothing serious, just the well trodden track every NZ tourist does who is coming from the other side of the world and has not the chance to come here more often. North Island is done, Auckland Coromandel, Rotorua touched. Now it is two days to spend in Wellington before the ferry goes.In the morning muggle is so kind to check whether the pillow is as quiet with the other ear as with the 1st one. I am alotted two hours of caching. I was exploring the beehive and the railway station.I was walking through the station to locate the bell. Unfortunately half of the station was fenced of because of some works on the rails. I hope works wont last too long.Thx for hiding.

GZ is gated off owing to close of line for maintenance works. Ongoing till 7 January inclusive.

A final cache for the day while I waited for my train. Somehow I've never noticed the bell before, despite waking past it... Probably hundreds of times!Thanks for the prompt to stop and look, and thanks for the cache

* dronnord * ...\*""*.,,.*"",..,*"",..\Very interesting. TY for this EC.I edited this pic to remove one of the answers. Best I could do. Hello from Canada.

I had so much trouble seeing the bell, a couple of times I was standing right under it and still couldn't see it. Idiot. Got there in the endCheersSteveo

Day 2 of our trip to Welly. Thank you for bringing us to the station to learn the mystery about the locomotives mystery bell.We havent seen many trains whilst in NZ. Nice to see an abundance of trains here. Answers sent to CO. Greetings from England

After traveling around Australia with Oopie for 7 weeks, we have now been traveling with the camper in New Zealand for 4 weeks. Along the way we will of course also visit various types of caches in beautiful places, including this one. Because we have solved the questions together, Oopie will send the answers with your permission.Thanks CO for creating and laying this cache.

Together with Travelser I'm going Down Under. We are driving around with a motorhome. After 7 weeks driving around through Australia we arrived the 2th November in New Zealand. For ten days we will cross the Northern Island and than for 2 weeks the Southern Island.During our trip we of course search for several caches. Most of them brought us to very nice spots, like this one.All the CO's, and in this case CrystalFairy, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

I was staying not far from here. I enjoy my stroll around the station and the history with the cache. Thanks.

Sent the answers we could get to see from limited access.

Interesting virtual, as I like the bell. 10 for 11 today

Back in wellington for my 6 monthly visit to catchup with old friends. Today's a public transport day on the gold card. Tftc

I spent a while watching the trains here (bringing out the little boy in me) and finally got the info and the photo. What a fun place (from a guy who lives near a freight only line). Cheers

We arrived aboard the Ovation of the Seas this morning and were blessed with warm, sunny weather. What a fun stop while exploring and caching in town. Our answers have been sent via the message system and we appreciate the CO developing this virtual cache. Thanks for adding to our adventures today, Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl

Enjoyed doing this mystery cache and learning some history. Tftc

Find

This was the first of the two Virtuals for me this morning and once I spotted the location the required info was grabbed easy enough. I think I was just at the very start of the rush time so it wasn't too busy but was clearly building.T F T C CrystalFairy.I was in Wellington for a meeting and my walk from the car park to the meeting location had me passing two Virtual caches which seemed easy enough to 'find' while not eating in to my transit time buffer too much.

Down in Wellington for a couple of days whilst NZ Iceman is on a course today I'm out exploring...yesss!

Found all the relevant information and enjoyed exploring here today.

Thanks for the cache - answers have been sent through.

This was an amusing virtual.
I was looking around everywhere in this gorgeously big old building for a ginormously big old bell, with no luck.

Then I found it.
Ok. Sweet as.

Thanks for bringing this bit of history to my attention with a virtual geocache, and congratulations on receiving a virtual reward!

Such a beautiful station. TFTC

Tftc!

After a busy day visiting Somes Island, we headed here to get the last icon I needed for this months spin the wheel challenge.
