Quick find on a nice day. Tftc

Quick easy find

Just a few steps off the main track hidden away from Muggles. TFTC

Great fun

O is for Owsome! Thank to CharlotteAndJordy for replacing broken cache. A shame there ain't any TB's in Central, a thief has them.

Out here for day 2 of dog walking. I heard the container lid was broken so thought Id tick off my good deed for the day and replace with a container I had in the car TFTCC&J

Long walk from stewart town, but we found it. TFTC

the top is broken but all dry. Its a fascinating area

Thanks!

Wanted to get this walk done. Happy to tick it off.TFTC

Found this one quickly thanks. Unfortunately the container lid is broken and has a chunk missing, water may get in during a downpour now. Good place in an interesting piece of nz history, tftc.

TFTC!

Found the Cache whilst on a leisurely post lunch stroll. The pencil is kaput so BYO pen. Log was dry and in good condition especially given the rain we had earlier this week. TFTC

Need little adventure. Tough old times chasing gold back in the day.

Good cache nice spot, did notice lid on container is broken

Interesting landscape. The thyme smells amazing!

Nice spot, TFTC

Tftc

Don't need hint good location though

Another quick find, nice to have a couple of long lived caches to find in this area. TFTC

My 2nd find. Unfortunately the container is broken as is the pencil

I found it didn't have a pen to right in

A bit misdirected lol but fun. Loving the smell of oregano. Tftc

Touring with Tikitour, love the history and landscape. TFTC

TFTC easy find great way to finish the multi and loop

Down in the South Island on a roadie from Northland, with Dodge 1923.... interesting history and wonderful views everywhere. What an amazing place this is........unbelievable what the old timers did....Thanks for the hide.

Found it. Very secluded. Nice.

TFTC great find

The pencil was broken and I was unprepared with a pen of my own, so couldn't sign the log. The kids enjoyed the walk around the sluicings.

As mentioned by others, the lid is broken, but still dry. The pencil is also broken so suggest bringing your own. There was a red back spider on the bottom of the container when I picked it up, but it's been removed. TFTC.

Late afternoon but still 33 degrees. Cache may need a little tlc

A short detour to make an easy find here. As previously mentioned, lid is broken but cache is dry. TB not n the cache though
Thanks for the cache, Whitemoose_

Enjoyed a hot windy stroll around this historic site. Picked this cache up on our way round. The hidey hole was easy to spot, for a geocacher that is ., Not so easy for a Muggle. The lid is broken, but all dry inside. Thanks for placing.

Found it!

Cache lid cracked, log dry currently but needs to be replaced

+1TB wanting to go to Australia

Out for a walk with the geohound during our Xmas holiday adventures, we have been here before but thought it would be fun to come back and do some of the caches here

Found with Kiwimykl, refer to his log for details.

Taking some time out to explore the central area and beyond.
First time to bannockburn..not what I was expecting very cool scenery and nice walk around the loop ..nice quick find cache all good..

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I now live full-time in our caravan & travel the country visiting places we want to visit … we are now parked up at Lowburn for a couple of days, exploring in & around the Cromwell area … we headed out to the Bannockburn Sluicings for a bit of a walk & a look around … we thought it would be rude not to check out this cache on the way … found this with no issues, log completed & cache returned … pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally … TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #2,252 for us.

Found it

Found with Nutty Nora

Stepping back in time! Didn’t find gold today! Found with Piwaka54. TFTC

I needed to find at least two caches to continue with a personal challenge I had set myself.

I had the two I needed but it doesn't hurt to have an extra one in the bag.

Cheers for the cache.

A great place to explore!

A great way to finish the nearby multi with an Earthcache and a couple of Trads. A quick find. The lid of the container has split with the log evidencing ingress of rain but then having dried out. We put the log book (which is now bone dry) in a plastic bag and put the cache back upside down to protect from future rains. Suggest CO replaces when next in the area - sorry, we would have done community maintenance but didn't have a suitable replacement with us given log book size. Thanks pipedream for the cache.

Found while enjoying a wander around the Bannockburn sluicings with SJT_NZ, dropped off a Kiwi TB for further travels. Thanks pipedream for the cache all in good order.

Ann easy find at the end of exploring this amazing place

Tftc

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Container lid broken, log saturated

Needs to be completely replaced

Found after a couple of hours wandering around this fascinating historic site. I laughed out loud when I read the hint! TFTC

Having scoped out the new Lake Dunstan Cycleway while driving from Clyde, we decided to investigate some of the mining history near Bannockburn and grabbed this one on the way past. Easy find, although not quite where I expected it.

TNLN. TFTC.

Was exposed, but re hid

What a wonderful place. Really enjoyed our walk here. Dropped off our pathtag. Thanks pipe dream.

*Found on a nice day going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*

Headed down hill and had to turn back lol. TFTC

Thank you for easy cache looking at difficult at the start. Favourite point if I had one for the view and walk further if I’d had time

Great wee find

Found it thanks

Sunny day in central Otago out finding caches. TFTC!

Quick last found today in the Bannockburn loop track.

Great cache and walk! Thank you

Cool spot, the slucings walk was awesome

TFTC

Great spot

??

Good find, perfect for under the stars it was a gorgeous night walk

TFTC

So much easier to find when there aren't so many hint objects around. I did take the cross country route to get here so it took longer than it should have and as I was leaving I spotted a nice track I could have used to get here!

Found as part of a group and now continue on my own. TFTC
