#4673A quick find here and all in good condition. Went for a drive to a previously unexplored area, I never knew about Braemar Springs. I went t and checked out the swimming hole as well. Thanks for the cache.
In the area so thought we would pick up a couple of caches we had missed previously. A quick easy find, but the visit to the springs was well worth it. TFTC
Rocking it down these roads on a Friday night caching binge, we never knew this was down here but how cool, TFTC and the location!
Visiting Whakatane for the long weekend. Had a great bush walk at Matatā up the hill. Ended up very hot and sweaty. Well what better way to cool off than visit this spring and take a quick swim. Soon cooled off and hungry for a great picnic. Oh we also found a smiley! Thanks Geckoh. Happy to add a favourite point for this pleasant location
This was an enjoyable cache to find after attending the "Farming Like Grandad" country fair which was wonderful. Easy find...always a great hide from Geckoh....thank you!
Wow sure is rockin on the Braemar 
. Hugely for sure. Always enjoy driving the Braemar as very fond memories from a child growing up in the area. Family fireworks, lovely local farmers and neat kids to play with.

It was a reasonably fine Sunday for a drive, so let’s go exploring. The Eastern Bay was looking particularly good…
A visit to Braemar Springs was high on our list of priorities. We parked and wandered back to ground zone. The hint and our cache sense helped to make a quick find of this well positioned hide. We took the TB to move along. Thanks Geckoh. TFTC.

What a cool spot this ended up being. Had no idea what was at the end of the road. Glad I check it out. A fav added for the location. Tftc.
One last cache of the day, on the way back to camp. Braemar Springs rocks! and the cool water was the perfect way to soothe away the efforts of the day.tftc!
Such beautiful clear water in spring nearby. Hint made for a quick find. I have a friend with a place nearby so had been to this lovely spot before.
Nice tidy hide granny was out and had it on a flash ..poor old grandie had no chance we ventured to the springs lovely spot with a few locals in residence ...enjoyed the history first time to this spot so a big thanks for making me find it
We are doing a "tidy up" of caches in the area that always pop up when we are 'out of town'. I had no idea that there was a spring here. After finding the cache, we continued down to check it out. What amazingly clear water. We had all bought our togs but it was a bit cold for us, although I was keen to return in the afternoon. Thanks for bringing us here, geckoh.
Nice to visit this spot again but as I approached the heavens opened so I drove in and had a look. It has changed a bit and looks really good Cache was in place and all dry. TFTC
#14,540. Second to find. Park, walk and grab on Braemar Spring Road in Rotoma. Fortunately, the GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Relatively quick find. The cache was in excellent condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.*Thanks for the geocache placement, and for bringing us to this site, and **.T h a n k s. .f o r. .t h e. .c a c h e.**.M a u r u u r u. .k o e. .n u i. .a t u. .h o k i. .t e. .k e t e r o k i.*
Yay, how exciting, getting a (FTF) while staying in the area.
And it's a very special place for us as this is where we made our first recorded cache find GC29EB back in June 2004. It's funny looking back at that log, with the young rattll's being named and swapping sweets.
The place sure has changed a lot since then. You still wouldn't get mrs rattll into that cold water - that'll never change!
Thanks for putting this here and for the walk down memory lane.
