As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

No luck with this one, used clue, thought it would be easy find, maybe its gone?

Nope - Grabbed Mrs Wonder from the van, and we both couldnt find it - think its gone - needs to be replaced - or archived - great spot

Great walk around the lake, and had a good look around the area but couldn't spot it. Will try again soon.

TNLNSL, TFTC
Took Team Chelmo's Geo-Friendship coin to visit it with me

A few muggles about, found with Chocl8~halo. Cache log full and damp. TNLNSL. TFTC. Lovely walk around lake.

Easy find, but had no writing instrument. Last recorded was 27/12/07 and looks like Malawi. Enjoyed the walk back to SH3 via Brassey Road. Watch out for a foreign money cache in Taranaki, coming soon. Oh, and btw, where did you get that elliptical container? Very Cute.

thanx for the cache!!

A quick and easy find. Didn't have any Tongan Pa'anga left so I couldn't swap for the cool arabic coin.

Found with my parents on a trip to New Zealand. Just got my logon now (May 08) and am backdating all my finds.

Found with traineediplomat. Sorry about the late log.

Great place as a visitor to Wanganui - had to wait for a wedding party to move on - didn't fill in log to many people about but did recover cache and replace.

Very accurate GPS reading, a first!
Fairly easy to find, nice walk preceeding the find.
Took Note
Left Kuwaiti coin

Quick find while also looking for another nearby cache. Didn't get to complete that one though, muggles eating their dinner at my GZ.

Debut at geocaching. Easy find following instructions. Was a little in view and could be found by muggles so replaced a little further back. I could get hooked on this passtime. Lots of fun for our family.TNLeft NZ 50c piece.Wrote date in log. Didn't have a user name then so put PBDJM with date and day on log paper.

A very quick find. Good container.
Uplifted the micro traveltag geocoin in the cache.

NZ trip cache #39

Nice easy find, not easy to find a park for a campervan but!

TFTC

Found cache after some careful looking - it is not all obvious but the coords are spot on. Thanks!

Found it ok.
Log is full, but there was still some room to write on the other side.

XC down in Wanganui on business with local vets... Managed to purloin a vet vehicle at lunch break to go hunt a local cache.. This was closest and easiest..
Parked right next to cache and didn't realise it was a park entrance till I got out of the van. Easy find.. No time to check out the park.
Signed log... very full but managed to squeeze XC monica on it..
TFTC #391

On an day trippers excursion to the river city. And all very pleasant too. Combined a walk around the lake with a visit to the seaside and a couple of caches thrown in for good luck.

Team cacher, Sweet P and I pounced on this one after a walk around the lake. And a clever little hide it proves to be too.

TFTC TNLNSL - the log sheet is getting close to full.

The Turtle strikes again!

Found the cache but forgot to take a pen to write in the log

Got taken by suprise by an elderly female muggle out for a walk. Tried to explain what we were doing but she looked at us sideways a little and went on her way. I guess these new fangled gps thingies are just too much to comprehend!

Last one for the day before heading back home. Nice to find a bank that's open on a Sunday.

No transactions, TFTC

A beautiful clear day, perfect for a wander around. Took a while to realise the hint was vital for finding this one! Spent about 10 minutes hunting and then left the area only to realise about 5 minutes later that the hint was so important. Returned to the area and had a lot less trouble finding the cache this time! Thanks for a lovely afternoon!

Nice easy find after a lovely walk in a great park. Thankyou.

nice little walk through the park, lovely.

Great place, had a really nice walk thanks. Found cache out in the open in full view so "easy peasy", re-hid better, I hope! Thankyou.

Hadn't been to this end of the park, so thanks for the journey

First cache for the day after overnighting in Wanganui. We did not attempt the "other" Virginian cache as I had no pictures in the PDA.
I was surprised to see the container right out in the open.
The printed labels really stood out. It had blown like blazes the night before so maybe it's "Cover had been blown".

I placed it a bit further out of sight.

1500hrs. After a great walk around the lake I hadn't seen for years it was an easy find.
Took nothing. Left aussie 20 & 5 cent coins.

Found it using new GPS delivered today as late Christmas present. Very exciting, the GPS really works! In old NZ 10 cents, out new 10 cents.

Had 5 sets of eyes in toe to help find this one. Thanks 4 the Cache

Our first find! The kids are hooked so hopefully we'll find a lot more.

Nice walk. Took 5p and left NZ 1 and 2 cent coins. Take a pen if you want to record your message in the little log. Smell may help you find it as there is a dead possum nearby! Thanks for the cache.

Nice place, enjoyed my short stroll in the park afterwards. Unfortunately had no coins for exchange...

Blåmes (Sweden)

introduced my kids to geocaching with this one...which was a good choice as it was a nice simple one for them to find...they were rapt!great exercise too and lots of cute baby birds

Found it at 09.15 hrs. TTF!.
Had to ask for neighbours permission to grab it.
In: Memorial coin
Thanks,

A surprising FTF!! We almost couldn't reach it as it had slipped further in but, with a bit of fiddling around, it was finally retrieved with the help of a stick. Many thanks for the special FTF surprise, it really made our day!!
Swapped three coins. Enjoyed our special search in the park. Thankyou very much.
