It is great to be back to see more of this beautiful country. Thanks for hiding this cache Natalie247

I don't remember solving this but it was showing on my list. I had driven past this earlier and without realizing this was here, thought it would be an ideal spot for a find. Cache was quickly located before checking out the view for a bit.

Rain has stopped yay.. time to explore again..and find a few caches before the weather turns again. I

Day 3 of our stay in Dunedin for the Mega and the rain is persisting this morning. Headed to the Mega to look at the gadget caches before braving the rain to finish of the Albatross puzzles plus any other targeted caches on our list. Signing as ACD today for Aussie Cachers Dunedin and including Icybeetas, Joolay, Kittykatch, GrimRaider, Smittengranny and isopeda. Tftc

Thanks so much ?? for maintaining and creating this hide Natalie247. Today Macpacmum, Jude _E and I are trying to complete the albatross geo art. Sadly we had a did not attempt at the last one as the creek was in flood.

Out on a rainy Sunday with Nosynel and MacPacMum. Had solved this a long time ago but had not been in Dunedin to look for it for years. A bit of water was lying just below gz but an easy jump over and the cache was in hand. Thanks, Natalie247#10791

Day 3 of my whirlwind visit to New Zealand.Today I teamed up with barb2e, SmittenGranny, Joolay, Kittykatch, GrimRaider and Icybeetas. We signed the caches as ACD (Australian Cachers in Dunedin) and went out on the Otago Peninsula.We had done a lot of puzzle solving in the months up to the GeoToroa Mega.Today's weather was variable and not as wet as yesterday.TFTC

At last, the day of the Dunedin Mega dawned, and most of the Aussie crew from Canberra met up early this morning. After enjoying friends' old and new company, we completed the Gadget caches. Then it was off to finish the Albatross series, which we had worked on for weeks in preparation for our visit, as well as a few other targeted caches along the way.Thankfully, the weather was much kinder to us today, and to cap it all off, we found every cache we tried for. Please excuse the generic logs. The caches were all great and in excellent condition, especially considering the weather that Dunedin has been experiencing.All caches were signed as ACD, Australian Cachers in Dunedin, which included Isopeda, barb2e, Kittykatch, Joolay, Grimraider, Icybeetas and myself. After signing duties were completed, the caches were rehidden where found. All COs are to be congratulated on their contributions to our game. Thanks for the cache.

Found with Kittykatch today. TFTC Natalie247

Collecting solved puzzles and completed challenges on a hill route into the city. Down for the mega. Please excuse the generic log. Thanks for placing each and every on of your caches, including those I can't solve or can't find.

Out and about with Willis007 and other members of the group QLD+1 finding solved puzzles and multis plus other targeted caches. Logbook signed and replaced as found. We loved our drive around here. Tftc

This is a great cache name to see in lists. No trouble finding the cache and a cute container too. Thanks for setting!

Love Angry Birds! Must look up why cabbage trees are called that. They look nothing like cabbage. TFTC!

We are four ladies from Sweden who are visiting Australia and New Zeeland We are logged as TULP This was one of the caches we found Thanks from Sweden

Here we met a local cacher D var det dags fr lite ventyr. Resan gr till Sydney i Australien ???? och sedan vidare till Christchurch och Dunedin p Nya Zeeland ????.P resan ker Tigertassen, jag sjlv, ursus67, Lnganfans och Pidjas, vilket gr att vi loggar under det gemensamma namnet "Tulp". Tanken r att vi innan vi ker hemt ska ha beskt ett Megaevent, Geo Toroa.Hlsningar frn Sverige, sdra Lappland ???? Then it was time for a little adventure. The trip goes to Sydney in Australia ???? and then on to Christchurch and Dunedin in New Zealand ????.On the trip are, Tigertassen, myself, ursus67, Lnganfans and Pidjas go, which means that we log under the common name "Tulp". The idea is that before we go home we should have visited a Megaevent, Geo Toroa. Greetings from Sweden, southern Lapland ????

Back in our hometown for a weekend of MEGA adventures.Weather has changed dramatically since yesterday but we will soldier on TFTC.

We just had to stop along the way to find this one, too. It would have been easier without the puddle to jump over to get to GZ. TFTC.

We are four ladies from Sweden on visit in New Zealand. We log as TULP (tigertassen, ursus67, lnganfans and pidjas). Today we visited the welcome event, did some Adventure labs and talked to people. After that we went for a tour to log solved mysterys before going back to the CITO.A big Thank You to CO for the cache.

Nice to meet you again Natalie at the mega good to do another of your caches hope the pigs dont get there revenge

Day two of the MEGA, and matagouri and I have teamed up with watcache to explore the otago peninsula and get as many caches as we could, while braving the bitter cold rain and wind.Despite the weather we had a lot of fun.Thanks to all the CO's for setting up and maintaining these caches.We signed the log as watratmat

This is one of the many puzzles we solved before coming to the Mega. These ones were out here and AMRO needed a Challenge sign off further up this road. Thanks for the caches. Time to head to the CITO and we're all quite wet through.

Found while out and about caching during the mega event

Out and about again today, despite the weather, another quick find here, TFTC

Four Swedish ladies driving around in NZ looking for caches and. We log as TULP. Thank you

Theres more than one way to skin a cat. One is noticing geocachers on the side of the road, signing a logbook! Thanks for the find!

Outnabout with Chamad, Snickersallan, Ardom & Bluewattle on my first ever trip across the ditch. Log signed as QLD+1 to save some space. After a week of caching around Brisbane and at events last month with other Geo friends, I couldnt pass up the opportunity to hop on board for a NZ Mega adventure. Another great day for caching.

A quick find on my way to the mega greet. Thanks

Visiting Dunedin to attend the Mega Event this weekend so in the meantime looking for caches. This cache was found in good condition. Thank you for placing and maintaining it for our enjoyment.

We came down to Dunedin for the great Mega event - which was really good ! - and had had several days either side , for caching up either side of the harbour and other caches around about . It was a shame that the High cliff road has been subject to the weather patterns and heavy rain and blocked the road . T he Weather either side of the mega was reasonable, but both the saturday and the sunday were rather wet . . sadly. there are so many caches all around this area so even after 5-6 days of caching there are still hundreds of caches to be found . With so many caches some get lost in a bit of a fog . We took nothing and left nothing here . Thank you for this cache .

#15,316. Flew into Dunedin today to attend the Mega event this weekend. I am geocaching with geobuddy Infoferret. After picking up the rental car we headed out out to grab as many as we could today while the weather was still warm and sunny. We ended up with a good haul of 47 caches. Now heading out to get some puzzle finals on the Peninsula and stopped to find this one. Although I knew where to go (having just checked the map), IF did the navigation and took us on a rather interesting circuitous path that eventually ended up just around the corner from where we were parked. The cache itself was found after a short search. Signed and replaced as found. Thanks Natalie247 for the cache.

Found while caching on the Peninsula with Busypaws

Beginning to rain as we reached here, but a find and another smiley . TFTC very cute!!

Day 10 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc. We arrived in Dunedin yesterday and today we hired bikes to ride the Otago Vine including a ferry ride across the bay.We managed to collect a lot of the puzzles we had prepared for and I think we only had a couple of DNFs. It rained, the sun shone, the wind blew, it was calm - the whole gamut really.Thanks for contributing to the fun Natalie247

Day ten of our epic New Zealand Adventure with The Morris.We have at last arrived in Dunedin.We spent today riding the Otago Vine clockwise, collecting caches as we came across them.Stopped at Port Chalmers for lunch then caught the ferry to Portobello.Mostly a nice day except for a bit of rain just out of Portobello (but we soon dried off).A quick puzzle, and a similar quick find.Thanks, Robmc.

Glad to rectify my not finding this cache back in Feb 2014. Easy find. TFTC

Tried for some other caches nearby that I couldn't work out, but this was very convenient. Pretty rough out here, lots of slips being cleared. Tftc!

I enjoyed the puzzle and the find today. No muggles about thankfully. TFTH

A quick stop on the way back from a walk.

I headed out to Portobello this morning to find a cache or two before my flight home. Not too worried if a few go unfound, there's always later in the year to round up what I don't get to this trip. No worries here. TFTC

Oink, oink, oink! I found this cache while out biking and caching along the coastal path from Portobello. A nice easy find here, although I had to wait for some people walking to go past. Thanks for the cache and puzzle, I like jigsaws!

Found with KJR. TFTC

After staying the night at the nearby Larnach Castle AlpiSteve and I made our way to Portobello for coffee and caches. Easy find here on our way back to town TFTC Natalie247Make your way to Dunedin for New Zealands next large multi-day event. GCA7ZHD Geo Toroa will be held on NZs Labour Day long weekend 26-27th October 2024

Im visiting Dunedin for a few days. Muggle-hubby and I have travelled from Queensland to Christchurch and then down through Timaru and Oamaru to Dunedin where muggle-hubby is playing Basketball in the NZ Masters Games. Im here to watch his games, but I have my own game to play: 42 caches in 4 days. I have a list: Oldies, Challenges, high Favourite Points, Letterboxes and Whereigos. And then other caches that I come across if the time permits.Today, before muggle-hubbys basketball games, I convinced him to come for a scenic drive with me to tick a whole pile of Peninsular caches off my list. I found all of the caches I was looking for, thanks to the COs.I have a love-hate relationship with Jigidis. I love a physical jigsaw, and enjoy Jigidis unless theyre 564 pieces of black and whiteIve done one of thoseit wasnt fun.This one was fun, however, as was the well-themed container. Always a fan of the extra effort that goes into an interesting cache container, Ive dropped a Favourite Point here.Thanks, Natalie247, for the fun.

Very cool container TFTC

Solved a week or two back. Took advantage of a still, sunny morning after the big thunder storm to go for a ride and collect. TFTC

I stayed in the car (dodgy parking/stopping on side of road) and sent GeohoundandI in for the cache. She wasn't impressed and came back full of dead gorse and seeds.

Out clearing some the near to home caches.Solved last year but only got around to find it today.TFTC

Out for a NY bike ride with HRDentist. Solved this one a while back, now finally an excuse to pick it up. TFTV

All good here

Found with CO. Thanks Natalie247

Out and about on day 9 of my South Island Tour and day 3 of "Wellingtonions Gone South: Dunedin Edition" with NZ_B, TwigNZ, Mr-Mcgoo, Itchyfeet2020 and matagouri. The target of this day was cleaning up some of the peninsula. All logs signed as MINT. TFTC

(# 8326) The Wellington crew are on another mission. Included are Itchyfeet2020, NZ_B, TwigNZ, Matagouri and TaybeeNZ. As usual quite a bit of hilarity. Day 3 was more centred on the Albatross series around the peninsula. Signed as MINT.Thanks Natalie247 for bringing me here.

A visit to Dunedin by Wellington geocachers NZ_B, Itchyfeet2020, TwigNZ, Mr-Mcgoo, Taybeen NZ, and myself. Signing as Team MINT, targeting old caches, Wherigos, and whatever else we can find.This puzzle had been pre-solved, so stopped nearby for a quick find. All good in the container. Tftc!

A group of friends have traveled together to Dunedin to collectively target a whole bunch of caches, primarily because of their value in terms of Jasmer Grid filling, or for certain Challenge Caches that we have elected to try to achieve.M.M.I.N.T.T are Mr-Mcgoo, matagouri, Itchyfeet2020, NZ_B, taybee nz and TwigNZ. Some logs were signed this way, some were signed as M.I.N.T for expediency, and some (mainly Challenge Caches) were signed with individual names.Day 3, and the main focus of our day would be hitting the Otago Peninsula where we hoped to find many of the Albatross Geoart series, especially the Challenge Caches.I got out of the car and wondered if I needed to go high or go low. I picked low, and that was the right choice as I was rewarded with a quick find.All was fine with this cache and contents, and we soon added the team name into the log before replacing it all as found.Thank you for setting up this series for all to find.

Day 3 of our Dunedin Invasion with six welly cachers. We have lots of plans and caches to find - probably to many - but with many of the very targeted oldies now done, day 3 can be a bit more play. Today is the peninsula.This was the only puzzle of the day I had not pre solved, so set about doing that straight away to ensure I could claim the find. Thought we were going to be prevented by a string trimmer work, but they were further along and a great find made today. All logs signed as MINT.

Love the illustration on the cache page.Day 3 of The Wellingtonians are in Dunedin tour with TwigNZ, Mr-Mcgoo, Itchyfeet2020 and matagouri, as well as TaybeeNZ who decided to have a few days of his South Island tour with us. We are targeting specific caches -oldies, wherigos (thanks to the Seagnoids new caches on the Wainuiomata Hill road in Lower Hutt), a certain jet and hopefully a certain bird. Of course, there will be days of laughter, no doubt at my expense During our time here, all found caches were signed as MINT, regardless of whether 2, 3 or all 5 of us hadn't found it previously, or with individual names for Challenge Caches according to whomever was claiming the find.Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Natalie247.

Read the hint out to mum while we parked up pretty much right next to said hint object. She jumped out and got this one first!

Car parked at gz but was my so a quick grab.

Stopped for this on my day trip along the Peninsula. Quick find, cache all good and dry in its hide tftc Nat

Solved at home and ready to find on our way past. As we approached -uh oh- road works. Thankfully this isn't in the area they are working on today, so we grabbed it on this cold and windy day. Found with Debsnz.

Had solved sometime ago and were happy to see a good pull in area where we parked so our car hid our activities from anyone passing. Found with Spoonz2

We had a day on the peninsula exploring the Pyramids and then the waterside road back. Enjoyed the puzzle and stopped on our way back to our stay. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Natalie247.

A straightforward puzzle and the appropriately decorated cache was a quick easy find. TFTC

A quick park & grab. TFTC

Full log to come. ***3rd** Wheel challenge **Daily** Out & About! **6th** of 20. Mystery **12pt 79pt***. tftc

A nice quick solve and find. The cache is in good order. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I are heading to Invercargill for a tramping club 75th jubilee, so we left a bit early in hope that the weather would be fine, so we could get a bit of caching in. So far it has been good, fingers crossed for the rest of the time away.

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

I want to be at the Dunedin art gallery now, but just one more cache! Thanks Natalie247

Kia ora for the cache.

Find #7165
Found on March 16, 2023

We are from Abilene, Texas, USA and have come to New Zealand to visit with a friend. We plan on going after different Cache Types while here. We will also find geocaches while going sight seeing. Today we are out with Bitsprayer and Drawp. Awarded a Fav Point.

Thank you, Natalie247 for placing this cache for all to find. We sign log sheets either as Love Cachers or LCers.

Driving over 50 miles to have...
Rusty barbed wire ripping through your clothes...
Curious rattlesnakes that come out of nowhere...
Itchy mosquito bites on every inch of your body...
A 40 mph wind gust blowing sand into your ears, nose and mouth...
Cactus needles getting stuck deep in your hands, arms and legs...
Thorny Mesquite trees scratching you up from head to toe...
Some or all of these things on a hike through 101° heat...
To sign your name or trade a toy...
SOUND LIKE FUN TO YOU?

It does to us, we're geocachers in West Texas! - {Taken from a Greater Abilene Association geocoin.}

Got it thanks all good TFTC

Great day caching, in Dunedin. Thanks Bitsprayer

This morning was a great time for a bike ride and today was a dot day for a puzzle cache. The hint was obvious and a container with a nicely decorated lid was quickly found. Thanks.

Easy find today on a quiet ramble collecting Peninsula caches. TFTC

Nice day to be out and about. Thanks.

Not too difficult to solve - despite all the green! Quick find at the final. TFTC.

Found with dad. TFTC.

Quickly sorted out the puzzle on my phone and after getting the other newly published cache with P&Vee we both headed here for a quick find. Joint (FTF) #146.

Got here at 2pm with MrMagoo72 but discovered that WilbyWarrior and P&Vee had beaten us to it. Nice container neatly hidden TFTC.

Rushed out with MacBayMeri to find this one, hoping to be first as we were quite close, but we were beaten to it. Nevertheless, a nice quick find. TFTC.

I like these types of caches, Joint FTF with WilbyWarrior.
