Nice wally.tftc

Been to Matamata earlier today and moving out a bit further. Enjoyed the drive as lots of sun and lovely views. Nice area to stop and rewarded with a great cache TFTC

Out & about while camping at Horahora for the weekend. Poor wally! Signed his visitor's book TFTC.

Wasn't sure what I was going to find here. Gave us a bit of a laugh when it was revealed. Poor Wally. Lol. Nicely done. Tftc.

Found with Angiekbox after 2nd breakfast! TTFC

With redwiccan, what an incredible hide. Many giggles had. A nice way to end second breakfast! TFTC

Wheres Wally? He dead cool hide..noticed this hide has appeared since we came past last..in fact it was placed 1 mth after we came through and cleared the area so it was a must do on our way to another cache I need for a challenge. TFTC

Found on a roadie to the Waikato with Tracy.g TFTC

Up from the deep South for a wedding, so out exploring the area. Nicely timed for the Cosmic Quest. Back along this road today as cachind is not good in wedding clothes. Hmm, a bit of a predicament, but seems Wally can indeed survive without additional help. Found, signed and returned. Off to Karipiro next. Thanks for the cache gogoguises - family cache# 3871 28 July 2024 11:32 am

We weren't sure exactly what to expect here but we love Where's Wally so were keen to find him in person.After parking nearby we soon spotted something suspicious and shortly afterwards we were excited to have found Wally, although we were a bit concerned about the predicament he had got himself into.After signing the log and pondering whether Wally could benefit from our assistance he assured us that he had the matter under control so we left him how we found him and headed on our way.What an awesome cache, thanks gogoguises for the nice surprise and very fun cache. A definite favourite point from us.

Out with Kiwi Does Stuff for a quiet Sunday caching mission in and out of Hamilton through all of the backroads. Poor Wally! Hes been maimed !!!! Loved the hide. TFTC!

Sunday afternoon / Evening mission with Reschedule. Taking some back roads to / from Hamilton. A quick easy, interesting find. We were hoping that we would have been able to find all the other parts, but I guess they are no longer. TFTC

#15,059. Park and grab on Buckland Road in Karapiro. The GZ was fortunately all quiet at the time of our visit. Quick find yes, Wally was here. The cache was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.Favorite point added for the delightful hide.*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.*---### LET US HAVE A BLOCK PARTY!!! ###On **May 3rd, 2025**, we will be celebrating 25 years of geocaching in **Rotorua, New Zealand** with a special **Block Party** event.

Thank you! This geo cache is definitely one of my favourites!

a quick find with a good hint

On a big days adventure with SN and Net to the Waikato. We were on our way home and had overshot this cache as we were too busy talking and not looking at our maps. A quick u-turn and we were soon at gz. We spotted the likely hiding place on our approach. Great parking here from either direction. We werent sure what to expect here, but loved the cache and your creativity here. TFTC

Heading home after a big day out....Mrs Jag reminded us to Saw the signs here. " Poor Wally!" Great Idea.....Favourite Point....

Down here from Auckland ; for a day of geocaching somewhere different ; with Jag50 and Net61. About to head home after a very full day...when MrsJag50 thought this one sounded interesting!Thanks gogoguises!Another very cool cache...very well put together....what a surprise we had!Favourite Point !

What a very cool hide. Wally was found. TFTC

Out around eastern Waikato with rattll today. A hot, humid day. Parked up at GZ, and rattll had found the cache before I'd got out of the car. I couldn't stop laughing when the container was revealed, I don't think that there's any question of where Wally is! FP! Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

Having a wee tiki tour around the place with matagouri, tidying up some unfinished lab caches and picking up a few caches as we go.This one really made matagouri laugh. Then I started laughing at him laughing. Not sure what anyone passing by would have thought Thanks for setting this up

That was fun! Took a bit to find it but once we did! Very nice!

Another find. Jumped when opening. JOH, T, and N.USA

Been in Auckland for the long weekend. Returning to Hawkes bay today. A bit of a detour stopping in along here for the caches. Spotted the cache easily and what fun as we opened. Awesome effort gone into this. A fav point from us.Thank you gogoguises - family cache for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 4873

What an awesome hide and an awesome cache. Gave me a bit of a shock upon opening. Worth a favourite point here. Tftc

Had to go to Hamilton so took a slight detour. Found the cache & screamed when I opened it. Well worth a fav point. Gave me a hell of a fright, very cool cache.

Haha, I went to the wrong signs bet those people were wondering what I was up to!! Found the right signs. Finally. Cool little cache!

School holidays so time for a road trip to Auckland and some caching. A rather wet miserable day but who cares when you’re collecting smileys. This cache brought back happy memories of reading Where’s Wally with my kids decades ago. Found poor Wally. Happy to add a FP. Thanks gogoguises for a great cache.

nice road for a drive . good views out over the country side. Good to see a cache with a difference. TFTC

Wally was located! The kids enjoyed this one, clever! Beautiful day for a few caches after the recent, relentless rain. TFTC!

What a cool cache! Stunning day here today in the rural Waikato. Family is away so it's time to go out and play... geocaching that is. More traffic than I thought would be around put here today but they may just be beating the tremendous traffic on the main roads. Awesome hide, well executed. TFTC!

KGD and I where on a mission around the rural Waikato. A great hide tftc

On the way over to Matamata so picking up a few on the way. Thanks for the placement. a nice quick park and grab.

An excellent little cache, well worth the detour. TFTC & FP.

Took the scenic route to Matamata... nicely hidden...TFTC

Wrong road to start with. Did a bit of back tracking an soon found Wally SLTFTC

A family joy ride… Cyclone Hale had kept us mostly inside. So on a rare fine Saturday, we decided to get in the car and go for a drive up Highway 1. A stop at Rangiriri Pub seemed better than staying home. Of course, we had caching business too…

Taking the ‘scenic’ route home… We’ve travelled this road a few times for caching, but the rest of the family have not been this way before. Mum was very interested in the nearby peach trees… That was an interesting hide! Not sure what to make of the ‘theme’ you’ve established… Thanks gogoguises. TFTC.

Clever cache - thank you.

Having completed Where's Wally #2 earlier in the day, it would have been rude to have gone home without collecting #1. The cache was a nice quick find and a very clever little cache it was too. Well worth a favourite point. TFTC

Out with ABCDF4 and eyespyben. Nice quick find. Enjoyed seeing the face of eyespyben as he retrieved the cache. Thank you for the placement.

Out today with EyeSpyBen and KGD to tidy up a few in the area. Neat cache. TFTC.

What a nice sneaky we hide like wally poor little wally found with abcdf4 and kaygeedee

Took a different route home so I could stop here and find a cache. Loved the cache design, thanks for the laugh.

Published

We had just arrived back in Hamilton from Auckland when FMZ said to me a new cache had just been published. So back into the car we went and raced to gz. Got to location and soon cache was found with an empty log sheet, an [FTF] for us, yay -my first for the year. What a lovely end to this day. Thanks for the cache and happy new year!

In the general area for a ftf and might as well do these nearby ones. Build up of traffic due to diversions. Very creative hide. Worth a fav point thanks

What a fun and creative little cache! Jägersmum and I were "in the area" sort of when this was published so couldn't resist heafing out here for a quick but surprising fun find. Joint [FTF] TFTC!!!
