Kia ora geocachers,
It seems that this cache is definitely in the wrong place. Disabled for now.
Stay safe,
TeamCV.

Thanks for hiding this cache TeamCacheventures, rolly2 I appreciate it. Another dnf
No finders for ages and a previous finder, again, interfered with the hide. This whole series needs a huge maintenance check.
No luck this time lots of trees and sticks around the place so lots of different crevasse’s it could be hiding!
This cache was probably the longest one to find of all along this walkway.
Went much further up than i needed to, then back down and around.. scratching my head as to where it could be.
Eventually thew caution to the wind and stuck my hand in and was rewarded with a geocache! Huzzah!
Having cached a good deal in Australia, i'm generally reluctant to stick my hand into unseen dark holes.
Love that there's no snakes in New Zealand.
Thanks for the geocache!
Find number 3840 !

Followed the hint, but didn't spot the cache, at first. Has a little poke around & returned to the first spot, soon discovered the cache once I was looking properly.
Today the weather was nice and so I went for a walk to Frankton Arm with the aim of catching caches on "The Frankton Trail". Greetings from the Czech Republic and thanks for the cache.
Díky za keš.

Found it and took a quick seat to log...the sun is down so hopefully we get treated with a nice sunset. Cheers
It's been slightly wet in this cache and a few papers only instead of a logbook. TFTC
Staying close by we were walking into Queenstown and collecting caches. Lovely walk along the lake and some great hides. Couldn’t sign log as it was very wet and I didn’t have any spare paper. TFTC.
Hi from Tauranga. Down with family for a few days to celebrate a milestone birthday. What better way to start the day.
I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

In Queenstown to celebrate a birthday, so decided to take some time today to get out adventuring around this beautiful area while it is quiet.
Haven't been out caching for quite some time, so making the most of it today.

No problems finding this one as we enjoy a morning stroll along the track. Thanks CO.
The trees around where the box was supposed to be had been cut so I couldn't actually get to where I thought it would be
Cycled the Frankton Track from Frankton Beach to the Queenstown Gardens this afternoon, with the aim of picking up a few caches along the way. Managed to find six all up. This was my last one. It was a quick find despite having to “cope with” muggles sitting and chatting on the nearby seat . #4922. TFTC.
A nice quick find thanks. Log was slightly damp, but still ok to write on.
Ms_KR and I are on a wee South Island break. Today we cruised around Queeenstown. We live in an amazing country, and today was one out of the bag. Glorious, weatherwise and the mountains were just stunning.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

With a hired push bike at my disposal I set off for a few hours ride from the CBD to Kelvin heights and back.
I didn’t continue further up the steps to see if paradise really was at the top. If it was, I might live to regret that choice.
Thanks TeamCacheventures

Cache had fallen out of its hide and was laying rather obvious...so on return I've wedged him under with the help of the smaller rock...hopefully he'll stay put for a bit longer
Tftc!

Having a lovely holiday in Queenstown and have an apartment on this track. Great place to get some exercise on my new e-bike and caches at the same time! TFTC.
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on our last full day in Queenstown. The plan was to walk along the lake front from the marina in the east to the Queenstown CBD. And find a cache or two 
.
Another good spot to sit, do the paperwork, and admire the view. TFTC.

All good here, many thanks.

I came from completing the Kelvin Peninsula trail to the Frankton Track to do this series.
The hint was very useful.
Cheers for the cache.

Found. Thanks creator. Having not been able to find the previous two, we were losing hope that there were any out there. So we're pretty chuffed.
I spent the afternoon walking the Frankton Trail today. A most enjoyable way to get away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Queenstown. No worries here. TFTC
Even found one of those rubber- like fidget things kids are playing with on the steps .
Another winter trip down to ski fields around Queenstown , Wanaka etc . and of course locating some of the newer caches or caches that had not been found on previous visits and so when the weather is not conducive to going up the mountains sight seeing was the next choice of action along with locating some of these caches . I am pleased to be able to change 3 blue faces to smiley ones this tour down here but it was disappointing that several of the Frankton to Queenstown cycle trail caches have been disabled and so the final of these is not found as yet .
thank you for the cache

Visiting Queenstown (from Wellington) for a long weekend and geocaching was one of the planned activities. No problem here, TFTC
I’m a bit slack on logging finds. Great to find them but trying to save battery by logging later often means I forget. On a visit to Queenstown as part of celebrating our grandson’s 21st birthday. Went for a walk with my brother and had some finds. Tftc
