Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 60 - Franz Josef, West Coast - Otira, Otago, South Island, Nov Zland (asi 250 km) Rno bylo sice zataeno a 11C, ale neprelo, take dobr. Po sndani jsem vyrazila na krtkou vychzku na 2 vyhldky na ledovec Franz Josef a dokonce byl i vidt. Taky jsem tu odlovila jedinou zdej keku. Pokraovala jsem kolem pobe a mokad po Glacier Hwy a zastavovala u velijakch zajmavost. Cel oblast wetland je nrodnm parkem a zaazena na seznam UNESCO. A je to opravdu mokr krajina - pobe Tasmanova moe, do kterho st mnoho ndhern modrch ek tekoucch z hor a ledovc, taky jezera a mokady a vude kolem detn les. Pes vechny ty eky a ky vedou jednoproud mostky, i kdy si na Hwy, co je roztomil. Na konci jedn obce m zaujala smrovka ke galerii Petra Hlavacka. S takovm jmnem to mus bt jedin ech, tak jsem tam odboila a taky e jo. Pan Hlavek je fotograf krajiny Novho Zlandu a zejm dost spn. Prohldla jsem si fotky i knihy a jela zase dl. Dal zajmavost po cest byla zlatokopeck msteka z konce 19.stolet, kdy zde zlat horeka mla boom. Dnes jsou to ospal vsky, ale tehdy to tu asi tepalo. Prola jsem si muzeum tby zlata, nafotila star domky i hotely z t doby a odlovila pr keek. A pak u jsem odboila na Alpine Hwy smujc na Arthurs Pass. Tam dojedu ovem a ztra. Dnes spm ve starm a opravdu zajmavm a bizarnm hotelu Otira Stagecoach Hotel. Bvala tu stanice dostavnk, co jezdili z vchodnho na zpadn pobe pes hory, a u tehdy hotel a je dosud vetn devnho dostavnku ped hotelem. Zazen pall mall od staroitnost po divn krmy, majitel hraje na mechanick pino, ale piplil mi steak. Na jednu noc je to ale zbava. Ztra dojedu do prsmyku a bude-li pkn poas, vydm se i na njakou vychzku.In the morning I went for a walk to the viewpoints of the Franz Josef glacier and found the only cache in the area. The view was pretty decent, even though it was cloudy. Then I moved along the Glacier Hwy through the wetland area and stopped at caches and attractions. I drove to the center of the gold mining area and saw the local museum and old houses and hotels. After the Alpine Hwy, I started to approach the mountains again and ended up for the night at the slightly bizarre Otira Stagecoach Hotel. There's everything from the stagecoach to Gandalf and Gollum from The Lord of the Rings. So hopefully I'll live to see the morning . Thanks to everyone for the caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.

We spent a short time going back & forth trying to pinpoint where to look. The gps had us a bit away from gz which fooled me into not searching properly in the right place. Mr Curzzz checked behind me & came up with the goods. TFTC

Zuerst haben wir uns gewundert, wo die schne Aussicht sein soll dann haben wir gewendet Tftc

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Today, we drove from Harihari to Punakaiki and stopped here to enjoy the view. There was a couple having breakfast nearby - but they couldn't see, what we were doing... So we were able to sign our names into the logbook and hid the cache again. Yippie - another Found in New Zealand!!

MPLC Jolie vue

Traveling around this beautiful country while hiking, exploring, and caching. Visiting has been on our bucket list for years, so we're thrilled to finally be here. Wow, what a cool spot. A friend back home is a surveyor, so we took pictures to share with him. Located the container, added our ink to the log, and dropped off a trackable before admiring the view. Thanks for adding to our adventure today, Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl, Arkansas, USA

Dropping TB. Will log later.

Nice quick find up here on my way past today. There was a car parked up but no one in it which made things a lot easier. TFTC # 20,652

A busy spot on this road, 3 cars here all taking in the view. Cheers

Found about 10m from where we thought it would be. TFTC

Coords a little bit out, but a little bit of common sense instead of staring at the GPS and it was obvious! Nice hide, and an awesome view on a clear day. The monument is a cool bit of history too. Little bit damp in the cache but everything's fine and the log book is holding up.4th cache of the day. TFTC

Nice find

Nice view.

G'day from Australia!!!Stumble Trip had been in NZ for the past 6mths, working on the Milford Track. Stumble's Mate flew in to meet up with her and we spent the next 2wks traveling the beautiful South Island in a camper. Whilst the weather wasn't favourable for the first week, we had an awesome time and travelled some 3,200+kms, seeing some beautiful sites and staying in just as beautiful campsite along the way.Thanks to all the CO. Unless otherwise stated, all caches were found in good condition.

Replaced wet log

Beautiful views from up here. Cache was easily found. TFTC.

On my way home and getting some caches for a challenge. Cache is damp but signable. Thanks

What an interesting spot, what nice views! The logbook is wet, unfortunately.

Our Southland expedition has come to an end. We're heading home and between heavy rain and snow showers just can't help ourselves. Caches need to be found. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache.

Our last cache for the day on our way home from 10 days in Southland, driving in appalling weather conditions but a break in the weather when we reached here. A quick find.
Thank you for placing this cache.

Day 7 on our holiday in New Zealand. Today our tour is going from Fox Glacier to Punakaiki. We also visited this traditional cache, found it, and signed the logbook.



***T4T$ - Many Thanks to cacherskye for hiding and maintaining of this cache s*** ️

The complete month march I am travelling on both Islands. Christchurch heading south, next the westcoast. AbelTasman-Wellington-Rotorua-Hahei and finally Auckland.This was one of the caches I found; thanks for showing me the area.

Tftc and greetings from Czechia.

I invited another to come with me to see what geocaching was all about.

We initially went to the wrong moniment.

Out: TB.

Cheers for the cache.

A very nice view, great stop on my way from Fox Glacier to Hokitika. TFTC!

Back on the coast after a trip overseas heading to westport to start a new job..

On the way north I stopped for a break, walked a little bit around and found the box.
Thanks for hidding.

AliGle and I were traveling around the middle and upper South Island, with the main focus being the completion of the PWGT3 and PWGT4 GeoTours, but we found a few other caches along the way. Stopped here for a break on our journey, then wandered up to look for this cache. It wasn't where the GPS suggested, but there was really only one place it could be, so an easy enough find. Picked up the TB. TFTC!

In the South Island with Vistra mopping up the PWGT caches in the area. Thankful to have left the rain in Auckland behind us, it is turning out to be a warm, sunny day here.

Stopped here to take in the view and stretch our legs. Coordinates for this one are a bit out, but we quickly found the spot where the cache was hidden. Great view!

Wonderful day beautiful views

awesome first cache! great spot too for the view

No joy for us today! GPS said it was ON the monument, had a hunt around using my spidey senses but no luck

Happy NY

Thanks anyway
C&J

Well….I logged my DNF. Hopped in the car, spun around and said ‘wait a minute…what are the chances?’

Apparently very high as the cache was soon in hand

Thanks

Yes all good here. TFTC

Great day on the coast. Thanks Bitsprayer

Stopped in to pick this up while travelling through to the top of the North Island. Had christmas at Hawea camping ground and now begin our journey north. Looks like a great day for a roadie to ReeftonThanks for the cache cacherskye

Feeling the Christmas stress we left everything behind for the day and set off to Ross for some maintenance free geocaching. I feel that all we have been doing lately is maintenance so its nice to actually be finding some for a change. A super quick find in the obvious spot didnt even need the GPS. Then we went to check out the nearby plaque and started reminiscing about the previous cache that was here sometime ago. Still a nice spot for a cache. Thanks for hiding this cache and adding to our smilies

Nice place to stop for lunch and admire the view.

Nice quick find thanks.
My dad was called Leonard and was a chartered surveyor.

Search for a while but at the end it was easy to find. TFTC..

# Found with mobi12 November 10, 2022 Greetings from Vastmanland Sweden

Our GPS was telling us to go over the bank. Definitely not. A nice new cache and what a great view. Thanks for the placement

Tftc

Stayed in Hokitika last night. Was only going to go as far as Ross to get the adventure lab but when I saw this cache listed had to come for the ftf. No views today as there is light rain here
