Nice quick find

FOund with Granville86a, after enjoying a picnic in the park. TFTC

Found with Chosen1978 on our wander through the park after lunch.

There were a couple of muggles at the picnic table when I arrived so headed off to grab a couple of other caches in the park and grabbed it on the way back tftc time to head home.

Found on a drive around Waimate. Weather stayed fine for us. TFTC.

We came at this one from the back entrance, and we did wonder how all the cars got in . . . Found with Aoraki Sheep and Woody104

Found via the back entrance, soon found the answer to the question "How did these cars get here then?" When we drove around the corner for another.
Found with DebsNZ and Aoraki.
TFTC

Had to covertly duck into the bushes as a number of cars at GZ, hope no one thinks we dumped all the rubish in the bushes. Found with debsnz and Woody104

Easy find whilst caching in the park. SL TFTC TNLN

found with axllal today, nice day out caching in the wimo area, cheers for this one.

Got it.

We were shocked with this park. This should be a great camping, but it was more a sad piece of a green area. Nothing to do here, in the middle of the summer.
cache still in same spot in good condition

Found it.. Eventually

What a lovely resource for Waimate! We stayed at the NZMCA park overnight and picked up a few caches in town. Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache.

That was easier than the last one. Thanks.

Got a bit confused, but found it. Tftc

left trackable, good find TFTC

TFTC
easy find

Thank-you for bringing me to this beautiful area.

Tftc, its a shame there is so much rubbish in this beautiful park

Found it but was lookn for a much bigger container

Came back for a second go. Finally found it. Good excuse to come back to this lovely park. The hint helped

exactly where it said it was, thank you.

Don't go through the gate. Look behind the tree with a difference.

Nice holiday park. The residents are very friendly. Tftc

Spending a few days in the Camping Ground,had to scratch around and finally found it.TFTH

tftc

fine

Our first cache for the day. PC Sniff's GPS took him straight to it! Thanks for giving us a good easy start because the weather wasn't too good and I don't think it would have taken much to make him turn around and go home instead of spending the morning wandering in this beautiful park.

A great wee place to stay for the night TFTC

Direct under our car... well, not quite. But very close and the last find in the park before heading home. TFTC

Just a wee note to let you know Knottingley Park is closed,due to the Gale Force Winds last week.There are lots of Trees down in there,so we didn't go in.Cheers Barbara & Terry.

Good hide. In the park with my new Grandson. TFTH

We needed the hint to help us as we had approached the cache from the other side. The junior dakotacat soon found the cache, we all signed it and then continued on our way through the park. TFTC

Our GPS invited us to explore this park further but with so many trees about it would be a challenge. And so it turned out to be. After inspecting many nooks and crannies Junior Dakotocat came up with the goods. Oh! for younger eyes !!!

Very frustrating. Found the old oyster container found by previous visitor, but not the real thing. Grrrrr, will have to have another go

nice park nice trees nice day nice find

A lovely area for cachers with lots of different ones to find. TFTC

Nice park to have a wander around. Needed the clues to finding the cache. First time I thought I had found the cache I picked it up and it sloshed. It said it was oysters and well past the use by date, so very glad I didn't open it and searched more for the actual cache.

found it

Good

nice park, will have to comeback one weekend and have a good look around, not just during lunch on a week day. tftc.

After a disastrously bad streak along this strip of road, Geomum and I were grateful to finally lay our hands on a cache. Didn't even realise this little park was here! Thanks.

Nice walk in the park TFTC

TFTC! Found with purdiepurdie on a caching expedition.

TFTC. This is the tame and ordered portion of the park. The roses are looking beautiful at the moment. The cache is in good order.
Found while flobberworm! and purdiepurdie are down south on a caching break.

Found with Emvy_us on day six of our southern tiki tour while attending the Dunedin Mega. TFTC.

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. TFTC

Found on my way home from the MEGA event

Fabulous park, we have been so impressed with the parks in New Zealand and this one is another great example. Thanks for bringing us here on our way back to fly out to Oz after a great mega event. Tftc

Our 6254th overall find.

Found on the "Gangsters" NZ Mega 2012 trip with steeba, The Rats and Farmer Frentzen. Found quickly from the wrong side of the fence.

Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache. Stats for our trip can be found here http://www.campersdownunder.com.au/geocaching/NZTrip/stats2.html

A quick find during a run around the park.

Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache.

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

One of the last in this area we soon had this one after coming through the gate.
Thanks

Found as part of the Gangsters- The Rats, Farmer Frentzen and Big Matt and Shell- as part of our NZ Mega Event Tour 2012.

Thanks for bringing us to this nice park- somewhere maybe to remember for camping! TFTC!

NZ12. After getting a spot in the van park in town I came out to this reserve for a few fantastic caches. This was first and only a short dash for this one. Thanks.

This had been a big day caching this was #101.Lovely park just wondering around doing the last few in the park to stretch the legs a bit.Really enjoyed the park.Tftc

Too early to camp over for the night so had a good walk to find a few caches.. TFTC

First cache inside the park, followed the arrow and low and behold whats that bit of artful disguise? Onward ho for a stroll around the park. (After completing the rounds tried to drop of a TB but muggles were about - oh well.) TFTC

What a fantastic place

Nearly muggled again. We've been lapped three times by one dog walker.

TFTC. First of many in 3 days I hope

Quick find...

A quick find on a big caching day from Christchurch with Kiwi Moose. Don't know why I missed it last time.... Thanks for the hide.

Container has shrunk!
Thank you for placing this cache.

TFTC - good condition

Thought I might have been a FTF, then realised it was a replacement cache Went through green gate, only to spot the cache from the wrong side and needed to back track...Looked traditional, and not invisible.... TFTC TNLN SL

New cache and log book in place.

A little wander before tea as Fri is our last day and we have to leave early in the morning.

Not a chance of finding this we did a 30 min search but gave up due to muggles.

Found recently after 3 DNF's - weird - add me to the DNF list.

Awesome cache! Very simple to find really good for beginners! Found this a couple of times with other cachers lol!

DNF at 16:13 today.

Looked in all sensible hint locations but to no avail.

We tried.

We looked hard. Sad to say not successful.

A find for PB at this one! TFTC
