We hope you enjoyed exploring and discovering the local history in the communities of Aotearoa New Zealand. The Tuia Matauranga GeoTour has now ended. Thank you to the community for all the great logs, photos, and Favorite Points over the last 30 months. It has been so fun!

With family

Found yesterday during our explore of Timaru. Not too many people out as it was looking like it might rain

Pretty hard but found it lo

Our Friend met us at the Beach,and she got a lesson in Caching,and it was a quick find.TFTH

Yay excited it's our first coin, thanks

Good find, had to come back and try again

1525. 1:12 pm. What a wonderful urban/ seaside Park! A real asset for Timaru. TFTC(with a very helpful hint).

Checked and in perfect condition ready for the next finder

A quick find despite the big tractor mower. There was a seal warning sign out but I didn't see any seals.

Easy when you get right post

Cool spot , nice wee hide

Yay found it!

In town with Mr14, he had a preseason game of football in Basil Park (washdyke). Wholst they were doing their warmups i ducked out for a couple caches before the game.....
Lovely autumnal day with lots of people around. Nice quiet gz so easy enough to make the find and sign. Last for the moment, time to boost it back and watch the game.
Thanks.

Quick and easy find here.

Just followed the hint!

Great walk so far!

Thanks for the geotour cache!

I had a bit more trouble interpreting the hint. I guess it depends on where you stand and how close things are to where you want them to be. Nevertheless, I eventually found the cx. TFTC.

We've just spent the night at Caroline Bay and did this cache in the morning nice and easy!

There were plenty of these trees to choose from. But the obvious one was the winner! I’m not sure which ranks first for the most loved home of caches… fax bushes, agapanthus or cabbage trees? TFTC

Enjoyed it

Thank you guys

Last day of our road trip, we are tired and skipping the multi, as we want to sleep in a real bed and warm place tonight. Nice quick find, visible from 2 meters, so we pushed it a little further, visible from 50 cm now. Both container and logbook are in good condition. Thanks for hiding!

On the hunt for some GTs in Timaru after the Labs. Have come to snag the Cabbabe tree. Cheers

Day 3 - Wednesday 22 December - Lake Pukaki to Timaru, Ashburton. We cached around Tekapo this morning. Mt John road was closed so walked up from the lake. Then headed to Timaru for some TMGT and PWGT. Left aafter dinner to spend the night in Ashburton

The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby and I are of on another Geo adventure this time to Mt Cook for 5 days. Met up with Bullertrout and Bro on the way down. Lake Pukaki was fine but Mt Cook was wet and wild with the Hooker Valley being closed due to high winds, so did not stay long. We went exploring Tekapo, Timaru and a round trip to Lake Coleridge. Short trip and very tiring but awesome.

Love Cabbage trees.

Part of a big trip with Taybeedragon to explore Mt Cook. We explored a little of it but there was gale winds, lots of cloud and rain. Some of the tracks had been closed and others were right dodgy given that we did not have our foul weather tramping kit. We had booked to stay for two nights but left the same day. More time to explore Timaru, concentrating on GT caches. So now I have been to Mt Cook. Still yet to see Aorangi.

Thanks

It was under a rock not behind post. We have put back under rock.

Beautiful spot!

A quick trip away from the hometown brought us here for an overnight stay. This one was quickly found after a wander around the area. Thanks for the cache

Cache number 4406

Nice, easy find. On a trip that would’ve been the Bandquet

What a lovely area to explore after work. Went out to touch the water and see how cold it was and it was potentially swimmable - although I did not have the correct equipment for such an activity. However, I was prepared for a dash of geocaching. A quick find in a quiet little spot tonight. TFTC. TNLN.

So easy to find

Thanks

Thanks

Level 2 lockdown enables us to find the geocaches others place for us to find

i would prefer that my caches are not the ones spreading the virus keep safe

Good spot

Found it!!

Out chasing a few today.

Found on very cold morning

Great find on our walk

checked and all good ready for the next finder

Easy to access

Busy today. Tftc

Yay found it thanks

TFTC

A bit soggy from the rain but a good find. thanks!

Took a minute or two to move away from the title, and spot the box. I tried to camo it a bit better when I left it. It looks like it was lucky, as the debris nearby suggested a few 100mm of water more, and it may have floated away. TFTC.

Found it

Nice quick find after an afternoon walk around the gardens and park TFTC

Day #2 of my Geotour.
A short drive from the previous TMGT cache followed by a short walk. A quick find too.

Thanks!

A quick find which was blissful after our two previous ones. Hint spot on, all good with the cache. TFTC RAYZR

#9450. This is the last day of my Easter geotour adventure in the South Island,. Been travelling around with Infoferret since Friday and we have been in North Canterbury, West Coast, inland Otago, inland Canterbury and North Otago/South Canterbury. Now in Timaru and heading north to Christchurch today but have quite a few caches to do around Timaru first before we head up towards Methven. IF had already done the TMGT caches in this area so dropped me off and went to do some adventure labs and get some breakfast and lunch supplies.

I headed along the path and soon found a row of cabbage trees. Yes they are versatile trees. The dry leaves burn very well and make a great fire starting material. Something to remember when you are in wet bush and looking for something to get a warm fire underway. Signed the logbook and replaced the cache where found. Gathered the code word. Thanks RAYZR for the cache.

TFTC. Nice find on this warm blustery day. Really enjoying the breeze and walk

TFTC

No pen but took traceable DDNRGF
Thank you from Howard and Kath

I’m stopping in town for a couple of days while I do some work at a couple of our South Island sites and as I’ve never been able to explore bits of Timaru I thought I’d make an early morning start.

Even in the Dawn light it was a nice wander through the park. Some early morning walkers held me up here for a few minutes but after that I dived in for a quick find.

Dropped off a TB which had been snagged by a finder today.

Thanks RAYZR

Found while visiting family in Timaru. We went for a walk around this area in Timaru. It has been well set up with the various walking tracks and the boardwalk. Thanks for the cache

I saw someone sitting on the bank a distance away so did the old 'tie my shoelace' trick to make this find, sign the book, then return it without anyone being any the wiser cheers, RAYZR.

TFTC RAYZR, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 4 find(s) of 5 today, making this find #2468

Easy find on Caroline Bay on a warm, overcast day.

Tftc,all good has not eaten all the cabbages

Just had enough phone battery after following a multi around to duck over here and pick up this one. Nice easy hint. TFTC. Back to car to continue my TMGT road trip. In this case very very slightly north. Two more in Timaru.
