Dunstan View (Central Otago) Clyde, South Island, New Zealand
By GaryMck on 24-Jan-05. Waypoint GCMKA8

I took the scenic route from Alexandra to Cromwell today, I managed to collect most the caches along the way as well as spotting some very cute tiny lambs We drove the Ute right up next to the GZ where I was lucky enough to move the right object straight away for a quick find. I added my name to the log and replaced in its hiding spot.Thanks for the cache

Wonderful views of Dunstan TFTC

I did not pick the best of days to come up. My vehicle is 4wd so getting up was not an issue coming down was a slow and steady trip. The rain made it very slippery. A quick find once the GPS settled. Nice to get an older cache. Thanks

That's a great walk up. Brilliant view today with the snow on the hills.

Drove up on a whim and was thrilled to see a cache nearby. This is officially my seven year olds favorite- signed as Emilia with a note how much she loves it. Especially the boulder nearby that looks like a trex

Cool to see such an old cache it such good condition. The container is a bit broken and could do with replacement to keep the contents dry. Cheers

Thanks for placing a cache up here. Heading home today but time for a bike ride up here this morning. I dont think I would be brave enough to drive up here but it should be fine enough on a dry day. Amazing views . FP

Took a wee bit of searching but got it in the end. Tftc

Easy cache ! What a view

Tftc

Great view. It took a while to find the cache, just so, so many possible hiding places that matched the hint. Got it in the end though & we loved exploring round the rocks. Beautiful spot, thanks for placing this cache & bringing us up here.

Beautiful spot well hidden but easy find

Cool

Great views from here. TFTC

Great views. Great day out. Tftc

Saw the sign to the lookout near lunch time so came up. I had confused it with the one in Alex so was steeper than expected. A bit of wheelspin in the camper but a slow 2nd gear climb. Rewarded with spectacular views. Picked up the TB now see if I can find the other one before the nasty but slow trip down. Definitely a fave.

Great views and great tors here. Took a bit of searching. Once I was positive it wasn’t where I thought it would be I changed tack and soon had it in hand. Easier than where I was looking!
Dropped TB
Thanks for the cache, GaryMck

Kia ora for the cache.

Made the the move down to omakau yesterday to start a new chapter in my adventures..had to come into Alex for a few things today and some caches
All done in town so time for a drive in the hills...this one took a good 10 min to locate just as I was going to give up so many options to look at..thankfully got there in the end..tftc

Amazing view from up here! Great fun driving up in the Jeep.

Out and about enjoying the history of our country and discovering hidden gems.
Today was the day for a drive up to the Clyde lookout getting the caches on the way. Found this one easily enough, after an earlier DNF....with no scratches from the bush
TFTC

Looked and looked but no sign

it was well worth the drive up here anyway

Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Oh heck I didn't read the instructions until I got up here in my little Rav. Gonna have to be very careful going back down the road1 again.

Good find by the boys, took them a little longer than the last find.

Last real trip with the 4x4 before I sell it. Very cool. Tftc

What a view! Found with Conbat. TFTC!

Found this just as some weather was coming through, windy as!
Found with Ice Diva
TftC

School holiday fun. Found it with annielin and downsouthinv. A great view. A good cache.

Tftc

A nice drive to pick up this one amazing views on beautiful day
We are on a winter road trip to track down all of the hidden creatures and find the elusive world turtle and one more step closer to my 1000 th cache.
Road trip with annielin and Abbykitt. Day three let's go !!!!!!!
more caches and more fun
Thanks to all the cache owners.

On the way home after finding the elusive creatures in Central Otago.
Wowsers!!!
I'm so lucky to be abe to visit places like this. Tftc

Long walk from the lookout park, but a quick find.
Reminds me that I am a Central lad!
Thanks

On ride from Cromwell to Clyde. TFTC

Made the 200m stagger up the hill as Searchwisely admired the views near the Lines in the sky. I spent 10 minutes searching, it was hot, it was windy, and i couldn't find. Googled to see what a matagouri was, but already knew due to bloody legs. Lifted a stone to see two lizards sleeping, but soon scuttled away. SW messaged me as she was locked out of car and i had the keys. I called the search party off, this will have to wait for another day. Thais for bringing me here.

Amazing views from up here, well worth the play in the 4WD. Thought I was going to DNF it but finally spotted the cache before giving up.

A bit of searching but found it

Thanks

Thanks

Found it with Arrowtown Venturers. TFTC

Staying in Clyde for the holidays so headed into the hills above for a bit of exploring. Great views! TFTC

Good walk up from the lower car park

Drove all the way up. Easy find. TFTC

Found by G and D

Great view,

Managed to drive here from the Nevis turnoff in the soft roader. This was an incentive to do so. Okay if the road is dry.

Great cache. Thanks

Well have an opp on my shoulder about 4 weeks ago and still got about 4 weeks to go before I'm back at work so I thought I would come visit some friends in Cromwell for a few days so was a great time to find a few caches. While we were up the Nevis Valley we thought it was a good time to go over the Hawksburn and grab a few caches up there as well. I'm very glad we did as it was a great trip and the view from this location was awesome. TFTC ☺

Hell yeh.. luckily i have a 4wd... walking wud have killed me thanks.

Had been staying at Bannockburn, and decided to go back this way as conditions were good and pick up this cache on the way..
Thanks for the cache GaryMck

Heading home after a few days in Bannockburn.Took the scenic highroad along Hawkesburn Road.Road dry today,would be difficult if wet.Cache found a few metres from GZ after a bit of searching.TFTC

Oh yes...worth the hike diagonally up from cv parked above the dam camp site. Tftc

We had driven up to the lookout and were enjoying the brief afternoon sun - so let's walk a bit further to this cache! Added a dry logbook.

Good 4WD country

Wonderful walk up here on a beautiful day. Log still quite damp but able to write on it. Pity I didn't check listing before leaving the car - I could have brought a replacement!

TFTC GaryMck!



You know It's Not About The Numbers

NEEDS TO dry OUT. Yes It was a bit wet. Would have let it dry myself but in a bit of a rush. After 1.1Kms walk...more actually ...from where I left the car, it was quite a jaunt. Lovely views and would never had ventured to this spot if not a geocasher LOL

The log book was rather wet when I found it today

Took us a little longer that it should have to find this cache as my GPS was out by 7m. Great view from up here, well worth the walk. TFTC

Found this on the way from Bannockburn to Clyde, after stopping to admire the view
TFTC

Kids more excited about all the skinks!!

A great spot for a cache. Fun drive up the hill and a quick find once we started looking properly. TFTC.

Great views from here and an exciting 4WD to get here. Not quite in the same place as co-ords, but we found it non the less in the area.

A quick find on another superb Otago geoday. This is what geocaching is all about.
Thanks for placing this cache!

Nice find after climbing over, under, beside the rocky outcrop but didn't need to climb anything - just walk around looking hard. I was determined to find it after climbing from the car park at the bottom of the hill. Thank goodness there were 2 pencils too as there was no pencil in "lines in the sky". Took 1 pencil back so I could sign the log.

Wow. The views just get better. And only beached the truck once on the way up
TFTC.

Magic view TFTC

TFTC!

Thanks

Drove right up to this one. Not the smoothest ride but testing for the old 4X4

Rode our scooter up here which was somewhat daunting at times but we made it! Great views! TFTC

Phenomenal! Ineffably beautiful. If you can, just come for the vista. Thanks Gary!

even better view but colder up here

great day for it

Very proud of myself walking up here. Stunning views. Found cache with Old Boots TFTC

Another good find heading slowly towards Dunedin. Tough track for my 2WD camper but made it to the cache site. SL TFTC

TFTC!

A v cosy nook

Wow great up here

85/155 in 5 days, found with wethreefourdices. TFTC
Amazing views greatful for the mighty cache mobile who likes hills

The 84th find of 150 in 5 days on road trip with Ingidayna. Go the mighty 4WD. Amazing views from up here! Dropped off TB. TFTC

Last cache off the beaten track for the day

Oh my goodness that is some special view! Too hot in 28degrees...

Whew beautiful

Decided to leave the poor van at the carparking area and ran up to GZ, it was only a 1.1km trip so not bad, awesome views up here and well worth it, it seems I am the first visitor for a wee while, thanks.
TNLN TFTC

Wow those rock formations are amazing - almost creepy. TFTC Cheers!

Wow. These rocks are amazing. The Rav saved my legs! TFTC

Took my car to certain point. To future Geocaches drive a 4WD it would be better. Found it after walking to it sweeting like anything! Another ANZAC find 9 of 11 found for the day!

My 2WD made it up... no probs! TFTC

found on the way home to cromwell over the top, lovely drive on a beautiful warm autumn afternoon

Got this far so pottered slowly on to Bannockburn

Nicely hidden, but got it in the end. Some good looking MTB'ing tracks up here too. TNLN, TFTC.

5851 Stunning views and impressive rock formations, an excellent spot for a cache, many thanks.

local map names a spot near rowing club as Dunstan View....we were going up to suss MTB track, so trusted GPS and went straight to cache

I had no idea what a matagouri was.
The GPS was very accurate, but it still took me quite some time to find the right spot.
Well hidden, but in the end quite logic.

TFTC

Scrambled up the dirt road from the lookout, and then spent 15 minutes climbing all over the outcrop.
I wasn't leaving till I found it, and the clue was no good to a visiting Aussie.
Nevertheless, it was worth the walk, and the view.
My thanks to GaryMck for bringing me here, SL

third cache in the area. great place on a fine evening. TFTC

Pushed on up the hill from Lines in the Sky, you could drive to these caches but the walk makes the find more worthwhile and the view more enjoyable. TFTC

Great view,enjoyed the walk up. TFTC

A hefty mountain bike ride up the hill, tough work but well worth it for the view. Thanks very much, maybe next time i'll carry on over to bannockburn.

be best with 4wd drive
