By Kahn123 on 03-Sep-21. Waypoint GC9FX5N

A fun day out in the sun. Thanks for the easy find!

Nice cache, easy to find by E and J

Some fun little bike tracks around here. Cheers

Quick find, but completely exposed - not sure what the cover is meant to be as there was nothing obvious. The CO may want to check that the hide is still as intended. TFTC!!

many thanks

Kids loved looking at all the goodies

Good find if you know Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Lots of little goodies inside

Great wee find

QEF here with the hint supplied TFTC and greetings from the UK

Have revisited this log to drop off the TB officially.

.

I know the song but couldn't remember the title! Cache is all good. We dropped off a TB. TFTC Edit: Somehow the TBs page won't allow us to record that we dropped it off , but anyway, we don't have it, it's been dropped off in this cache and I don't know what else I can do. Maybe the next person picking it up can sort it out!

??????????????

Found it

I popped out for an afternoon drive and found a few more caches along the way. I spent most of my time finding caches in Centennial Park. What a great place. I would love to have more time to explore more of these tracks and trails. Found in the first place I checked as per the hint. TFTC, Biggles.

While I had some free time before Christmas I came here to fill the Centennial Park with smileys. Great walks around here. Thanks for hiding.

A cute hiding place! TFTC

It's Labour Day, and the last day of our long weekend visit to Timaru, so StreetWalkerNZ and I will look for a few more caches in the area before heading back to Christchurch. The last visit to Timaru was on a freezing winters morning, so we decided not to look for any caches in Centennial Park as the paths would be slippery. Not so bad today, though the bike paths needed extra care. TFTC.

#23184. I followed the bike track to GZ, only to find I could have stayed on the lower track (which was much easier) most of the way, and then follow a short track to GZ. Struggled to spot the cache at first; a photo on a log helped a lot! Took the lower track back. TFTC.

We enjoyed biking here.

JDScout and I are spending a few days in Timaru. We drove down yesterday and are staying in our camper van at The Top 10.JD spotted it first .

Cool

Found it

Great little site here how many people pass this way and not know it's in plain site , took a bit of ratching around to find it though, cheers for the smiley

Nice not to hard, third one today

A fun find. Left a wee treasure behind.

We are on our way to Dunedin for a train trip tomorrow. Did a wee detour as we needed one more teamwork attribute for a challenge. Enjoyed our walk here, took a while for phone to settle so searched some interesting places. Then the Penny dropped and made our way to where we thought it would be. Very happy to find cache and sign log. All good here. Thanks for the cache Kahn123.

Found

In Timaru on a wee geo mission and to have a wander around Centennial Park.
Nice quick find here TFTC

Being one of my favourite RHCP songs I had no trouble with this hint. It was an easy find once in the right spot. TFTC

Dakotacats knew exactly where to look - the hint meant nothing to me!! TFTC

Day 2 of geochaching, so much fun!

No idea on the hint. But quick find.

Time to go for a walk through Centennial Park looking for caches.

I had a good idea where the cache would be but still Googled the lyrics to confirm.

Cheers for the cache.

After driving nearly every street in this place, I need to stretch my legs... this little area made a good area to stretch my legs, and pick up a few caches along the way.. Thanks for the placement!

TFTC Kahn123, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 5 find(s) of 6 today, making this find #3710

Quick find, don't think it was well hidden. Will send pic to CO. Thanks for contributing to my walk.

Easy find. Nice and shady on hot day. Tftc

????

Back down this way fer work after a 3 year gap so a few new caches to find as well as old ones not yet found. Time for a trip to the quarry after work for walking and caching. Found after checking for song title then a short search. TFTC

In Timaru for a few days with U15 football tournament at Basil Arthur park.
A break in the games so popped away to find a cache or two...decided to loop around back roads then back through Centennial Park before heading back to the footy. A quick find and sign here. Thanks....humming the song as I made the find and sign.

Very clever idea with the song name!!

Found

Real quick find on a cold windy morning. Real wet n slippery trails. Tftc

Thanks that was a fun one to find

A quick easy find, fully visible, although probably cyclists riding past won't notice it. TFTC

TFTC quick find, excited kids

Track a bit wet after recent rain. Quick find at GZ Cache all good. TFTC

TFTC, from my home I can see the cache location, never realised it is used as a geocache site.

This one was quickly spotted and signed just before a cyclist wizzed past TFTH

TFTC

Easy find

Interesting placement of the hiding structure. Besides Geocachers and trolls, now a new type of person goes under here. TFTC.

A quick chat with Mr Google helped decipher the hint, although I could have found the cache without it I'm sure. TFTC.

In Timaru for the night and had time to go collect a few more smilies. Back in Centennial Park cache hunting again. Once I had looked up the Chilli Peppers reference I knew exactly where to look. Pleased that no grovelling was required for this one. TFTC Kahn123

We didn't know the song mentioned in the hint but we looked for a few minutes in the obvious spots then M stood back and saw the cache. Nice one.

A nice quick find thanks. The track I chose back to the car was a bit damp and looked slippery on the corners!

Ms_KR and I are on a midweek micro break, so we decided to follow the good weather to Timaru.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Quite an easy find. Enjoyed it

fun find

On a quicky weekend getaway down to the South Island (from Wellington). I flew into Christchurch on Saturday morning, and then drove down to Timaru for the night. Drove back up to Christchurch Sunday afternoon and flew home late Sunday night. My goal was to catch up with a friend in Timaru, and to target a few specific caches that I need, and a few others just 'cos. This is one of them.

Arriving at the cache location, and having no trouble recognising the hint information, it was clear where the cache was gonna be. Sure enough, there it was. Fortunately, the weather was keeping everyone away today so didn’t have to worry about being seen here. Cache all good, TFTC.

#3,962 - Saturday - 12/02/2022
traditional cache – small - 2.0/1.5

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://geooh-go.com)*

I’ve always loved that song but never new the name of it till now! A whole new meaning so thanks for the cache.

Pretty hidden

Either it's gone or in the middle of thick grass. Spent over 30mins twice went over evey inch of fenceline, bridge, big poles strainer ends.

This one was a quick find. - Thanks Bitsprayer

Quick find a bit in the open so covered up again.

Finally found it this time, only because it wasn’t covered properly

10/10.

Kohbin Found it

I was walking up to GZ and immediately knew where to look and i was not disappointed found very quickly exactly where it should of been.
Thank you for placing this cache for me to find i liked the container and the few swappables contained therein.
Cache in perfect condition ready for the next finder

Had a good look for this thought it was going to be a dnf but stubborn persistence paid of in the end...should have been an easy find but made it harder by over thinking it..tftc

Searched and searched but no joy. Will try again another day

Please know that we showed some friends the geocache before it was officially published. Thanks and keep hunting!

I really wanted to find this cache as it fits in for a challenge I am working on. No problem finding the feature but finding the cache took quite a while. Found very close to my first searching spot but hidden in a different way than expected. Great to have another hider in the mix. TFTC # 17,677

Easy enough although not where I looked at first. Interestingly the name and date of first name in log book is different to on line entry???

Nice to have some new coaches in the Scenic! Easy find with reshamfiriri. TFTC

Awesome find! Great clue!
