Visiting from Tasmania. This is day 1 after arriving at Christchurch at 2am this morning. There's a bit of caching paydirt around Kaikoura, so we're into it. And this good little cache can have a favourite 'cos it makes an otherwise unremarkable find into a memorable one. Injeanious !

We live in Auckland, so we bought a car in Christchurch! We flew down and are driving back up over Easter weekend, weve got to geocache along the way! In the new car we have no pens, and I refuse to buy some when we have 1,000,000 at home, so apologies for some photos. I am hoping to find a cache w a spare pen! TFTC!

A summertime trip to the South Island, what could be better. Day five, and having flown to Christchurch and then driven to Timaru on day one, and cached around Timaru on day two, and back up to Christchurch to see a band play on day three, and then up to Kaikoura to see the same band play again on day four, it was time to chill out and check out the town. Along the way I'll be looking for Geocaches, and here's one I found. Yup, sang the song to myself as I searched, and it must have helped cos cache was found safe and well. --- Thanks to Injeanious for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Moved to Dunedin - drove the Picton to Christchurch section on Sunday. This was my only caching stop on the journey.Had a small detour over to this backroad to clear out another small part of the Kaikoura peninsula. This was a very hard search for me, until I stumbled across what should have been an easy sign of a cache. Tftc!

We were in NZ on a holiday hoping to spend a bunch of time geocaching; however, we ended up in ISO due to positive COVID tests! Once our mandatory isolation was over we were able to travel a bit and grab some caches on our trip. This cache was on the to do list for today. Cheers and TFTC.

G’day there Injeanious, we were in this area today and found your cache Rock Lobster (Marlborough) GC8FFCE. Our name was added to the log book at 10:38 am on 17 July 2022. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

We took up Geocaching on 3 March 2013 and this cache brings our total find count to - 13632.

A fun hide

It's Matariki weekend, the weather forecast looked good for Kaikoura so we headed here.
We're staying at the Top 10 and biked from there on our E bikes. Such beautiful views and a nicely themed hide . Thanks for hiding this cache Injeanious I appreciate it.
 
02-Jun-22
Fortunately the area was muggle free when I was here, as it took a wee while to fish this little fellow out of his hiding spot.
Thanks for putting this appropriately themed cache here.
 
25-Apr-22
Had a good look but didn't find it before the muggles arrived.
 
24-Apr-22
I don't recall coming over to this spot before. After we found the cache, we walked along a little path that I also don't think I've ever been on. Nobody around even though it was a long weekend, probably because the weather wasn't too good. Cute cache.
