We had a quick look for this, but concurred with previous logs that it is almost certainly missing, and now discover it has been archived.

This cache seems to have been muggled yet again.
Unfortunately I am immobilised at the moment, so the cache needs to be archived.

No luck this area looks trashed.

Oh no.... it was gone... Annie was with us and she said it was not there....
Never mind .. It was alvely day in Greymouth

Had a good look around, not in the fork of the tree, maybe its been muggled?

Good history to this, be great if the council put a new seat here. TFTC

Spotted some folk acting like cachers here as we were driving past. Turns out they were hiding things for a car-rally instead, so they have now been introduced to geocaching as well, which the mrs had heard of but not mr. She was going home to check the website!
So hopefully a convert!!
BTW - we grabbed the Tiki while we were there, and will move it on.

TFTC great spot fairly easy find Have left a Travel bug that is dying to get out and see the big wide world

Night caching with Ramadonis - it seems there is a container here now [:d] TFTC

It took a little while to decide on the best access to GZ. However, once there a quick find. Our last find in NZ (for this trip). Had a great time and intend to come back to explore other areas at a later date. Thanks to all who provided caches.

Hi,
we only found the plastic bag with the logbook and pencil. There was no container.
Greetings Team Gevatter.Tod

FOUND IT BUT THE CONTAINER HAS GONE. BAG ONLY HIDDEN.

We found this cache with Standa.Sefl during our holiday in New Zealand. New Zealand has very nice nature, thanks for all nice places. Greetings from Czech republic.

We spend great four weeks caching in NZ. NZ nature and the caches are amazing. Thanks for all the caches, the great adventure and greetings from Czech Republic.

Found this at midnight with the geoson.

Visting from Australia caching along the way.
Thanks for the cache.

It was a quick find on my way but I expected the cache to be like this. No Box - but at least there was a logbook

found with nephew #1 yesterday and with nephew #2 today. the listing says it has a TB but there was only a notebook in a plastic bag with pencil and pen.

Could there have been a wetter day? The river was running very high today and the rain just kept on coming.
Found the cache after parking at The Warehouse and walking the long way around, sqwelching through the water logged ground.

Pre dawn find - the site is a pa and an urupa (burial ground) so people visiting should be very respectful, not eating or drinking nearby. Removed travel bug 491433 and will transport to East Cape next week.

Nice easy find - cache is smaller than it says - not much room for swaps. Dropped off croc TB. TFTC.

A busy we spot for this one took a little bit to get this only because there were people having a picnic.....

Found this cache with my personal travel bug Ice Age Scrat along our 3 moths trip around the whole New Zealand,
14:30
very quick find, no muggles, TFTC

thanks, did know it was there

A noisy spot but everyone is concentrating on the road. Easy find even without the hint and a nice view too, thanks Moneydork.

A very quick and easy find with a bit of history involved. TNLNSL but noted that the log book was very full. I had a scan through for some space and came across a log by my brother back in 2007. I have seen his name in log books a few times before, but never this far from home. Accordingly I signed my log right alongside his... His handwriting is still terrible.

Found while doing the Trans Alpine Crossing

In Greymouth overnight, and just enough time to go find one cache, chose this one for its historical significance. Thanks. The logbook is un URGENT need of replacement, I had to squeeze my record in

During our evening walk we came here and found the cache. No plastic bags around the cache containers, please!

Visited this cache during my vacations here in NZ.
Quick find.

Time: 10:30pm.

We were on the Alpine Express and had an hour before returing to Christchurch. This was a small walk so we couldn't resist this one . TFTC!

Very interesting spot to visit, loved the history. No problems with the find. TFTC

101th cache! It seems I've done too much caching lately as a we got up to about the Shell station and I exclaimed "EEK! I can't find the gps or ipod!!" Yes there they were, sitting on the seat at the cache still! Awesome area - to think I lived in Grey for 4ish years and knew of the area but not the significance. Thanks

found with yo-mum, before i had my own handle. thanks for playing a part in getting me into caching =)

#428 (5/19 on a Greymouth -> Chch day). When we arrived a bottle-collecting muggle was around GZ, so we wanderred off to collect info from WP1 of The Pole Cache. When we got back the coast was clear, and the cache was an easy find. Was in pretty plain view, so left somewhat covered.

Quick find.

easy find on a rare sunny day
will need to replace log as book full

A quick find. Log book is full but squeezed our names in there. TFTC.

Showed all the respect I could muster under the circumstances. I bet they never expected the Pa to be surrounded like this! Thanks for the cache. Pity it's in such a bustling place.

no muggles around. bench is getting a little decrepit!
