look at all the logs...area was shaved clean today, no cache here for sure. needs fixing.
Found the object named in the hint but no cache. Should have read the logs before.
Looks like this has gone. Spent a good while looking in all the holes and thru all the nasty gorse plant there.
Surely, the cache has vanished and owner should respond and maintain. But thanks for the diversion during a cycle tour. With a police background, I was especially interested in the history.
Kids were quite fascinated by this story. Cache found but quite wet. Had to use my vivid to write in the logbook as it was so damp!
A quick find while on my way back to Greymouth. Logbook was sodden resorted to leaving a calling card to say I found it. An interesting memorial to say the least. TFTC
Another bit of history as we travel along. No trouble to find and a convenient place to stop. SL. TFTC.

During our holiday trip in New Zealand by Campervan this cache was on our route. We couldn't resist stopping especially because the possibility to park the Campervan was good.

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.
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.
Found and dropped off Policeman TB. Not a police station but the scene of a crime for him to check out.
After nice surfing we had a little time left and used it for some caching.

A big monument for a payroll robber. Quick find and thanks for nice new log book. TFTC
Found with gracie7. Decided to start geocaching so I am logging all old finds. TFTC
I biked the 15.4k return trip from my house with nephew #2 and non geocachng sister. (Glad when we saw it coming up.) Really easy find - went straight and got it. The log book is really wet and only has about 2pages left, couldnt sign it with the pencil but I had a pen with me TOOK - Bike Spoke Reflector LEFT - Balloon and String.

Interesting spot, smashing memorial. Log was very wet but I managed to find a dryish spot under someones log from 2007. TFTC
Short little climb up the hill to read the information about the robbers.. Very interesting... Thanks for making us stop here to see this..
I have to admit that I´ve got difficulties to remember that cahce one month later... But I still remember that we were searching it in the rain...
TFTC #650 (my 108th cache with lemonCurd in New Zealand
).
Many greetings from Hamburg, Germany.

Since this was one of the more historical motivated caches, it's quite natural that Miss-Moneypenny doesn't remember it too well, allthough usually she remembers the caches much better than I do. But it was usually me who read signs and plaques, while it was Miss-Moneypenny's job to take pictures of the scenery

The cache was easily found.
TFTC!
