In the pouring rain...Fouond the spot with the 2 nails, but the cache had already been removed...never found it
I have replaced this cache with a small, well hidden Micro, hidden on the platform itself.
Have asked the moderator (nzmoderator1) to ressurect it so that I can update the cache instructions.

What about a Bear_left style attachment for the deck?
Something like a hollowed-out bit of 100x100 with some glued-on bolts? Or maybe bolts that unscrew?

Second time in as many weeks that this cache has gone missing. It's a great spot, so I'll need to try and come up with another solution.
We tried to find this one so after waiting until a couple had finished the fish'n'chips luch we went to work. There were a couple of interuptions for people coming to look at the view. After searching for some time we concluded that this had been lost again.

Found some remains of the old cache, confirming that it has been Muggled. Have replaced it with a new cache, hidden in a slightly different location.
Found the item mentioned in the clue, but no cache nearby.
Lots and lots of rubbish nearby.

An easy find, having a lovely view over Greymouth. Cache not too well hidden, so covered a bit more so wasn't in full view. 3rd cache for the day.

My first find, of many I hope. Turned out my GPS was on the wrong datum so was telling me I was 400 metres away, but found it nonetheless by the clue. - florida keyring + mini basketball
Fastest find of the day. Great view. No wind and the sun is shining. Swapped Painter Kiwi for Geo kiwi. Cheers.
Lovely view first thing in the morning.
GPS took us right to the spot.
Thanks for the cache

Magnificent view. Cache was found quickly after discovering some nasty things lurking at the side of the track. Added a Geocache 2004 token (1 of 12) and a log entry.
Thanks.
Thanks.
approached from the bottom after driving past twice with no carparks available. nice view from lookout. found cache easily from top. -address book, +screwdriver. Thanks.
We were hoping to find a travel bug on our second cache this day and we did!!!
The path was a little confusing and we were not sure to go in there but we were glad we did!
Only took the travelbug to bring to Holland, no trade.

After arriving in Greymouth we just visited the internetstore and we saw that there was a cache only 650 meters from the campsite.
A nice walking, a bit steep at one place but a beautiful view of the town, see and surroundings.

Well this was a trip down memory lane, use to live up Arnotts Height lots more development up there now. Well I was the one who had to take the short walk down the muddy track but didn't take me too long to locate the cache was well hidden.
Didn't take anything but probably left a party popper.

Found it without much difficulty, the hint helped heaps (and my friend Denise)! Took the Katie TB, hopefully I'll find another NZ cache. Left the Dasher The Dolphin TB, he's wanting to visit sealife around the world. And also left a Florida Manatee keyring. Thanks for the hunt and the view of Greymouth!
Another place I spent heaps of time, I used to live down the road as a kid, this hill was covered in mine shafts and caves we used to play in them, plus there was a creek that had a old swimming pool in the middle of it, the track were the cache is i most likley help make it, in my day the only house up here was Arnott Round House..

Went searching for this on the way out of Greymouth and found a travel bug wanting to head to Uluru. As we are headed home to Sydney in a week or so we thought we'd help out.
Checked on the cache.
+ Birdy Bot travel bug
- Rope watch (for a friend who was with us at the time)
- Plastic Wine Goblets (so that Birdy Bot would fit in the cache).

This was the first find of the morning. You get great views from up here even when it is raining and cloudy! Took the turtle and left an address book combination folder.

An easy find with the clue - although Sp00k walked right past it. Nice to visit Circumforaneous' temporary resting place - he has been around. Took the smiley keyring and left a turtle.
A pleasant surprise to see this cache was only 1km from our Motel.
Found it quickly without the clue, didnt see the travel bug.
Took flags and left shampoo and soap.
cheers, steve and ruth

Sorry Steve and Ruth, I picked up the Circumforaneous Kiwi in order to take him to Nelson.
Called in to see Circumforaneous Kiwi. His offer of a trip to Nelson sounds good, so he was left to look out over Greymouth for the time being.
Took Avon, left rope watch.
Thanks Moneydork.

The Travel Bug Circumforaneous Kiwi looked like he was missing cache life, so I put him in the cache.
If he's still here next week, I'll take him up to Nelson, otherwise someone else can help him on his quest.
