Had time to stop on the way back from the mountain. TFTC

Nice new log for her for Mothers's Day!
Interesting corner of Turangi, TFTC

Replaced Log book. Cache has been rehidden in correct original position to suit additional hint. Please replace it in the exact same place and cover carefully.

It is important to replace the cache exactly where you find it. If for some reason you have to change this position please let us know so that we can check and edit the cache notes accordingly.

Who put it in the flax bush??? Cache has been removed for maintenance.

Easy find in good condition, however the log book needs replacing. It's full. TFTC.

????? When you have more experience at this game you will learn about "cache creep" where caches that are not replaced correctly can move slightly from the original position. If you had looked past the end of your nose you probably would have found it! Everyone else has!!!!!!!!

On corner tree. Yeah right.
????????!??????????????????????????????????????????????

Did today with Wandering Dragons. Last successful find on our trip.

Cache #363

Cache #1035 - Took a little while, but saw the previous log about cache creep and then quickly had it. Nice little spot. TNLNSL. Did with Violet Butterfly. TFTC!

Last successful find from our long weekend. 33 for me and 27 for Violet Butterfly.

Widen search area a bit and a good find!! Found with Byron_NZ on a wee tiki tour

Took a minute for the GPS to settle but when it did it pointed straight at the cache. Interesting history. Thanks for making us stop here.

Found at 11:28 AM GAFF1 in the company of Phetlern. A quite corner that we were able to search without any interference from anyone - very quite indeed. Plough and an anchor symbolises immigrants and settlers quite clearly enough.
Thanks Punga and Paua

Our visit to NZ began with the Mega, today was the last day of what has been an amazing and wonderful time travelling with the Pprass team. It was very interesting to see all the implements around which highlighted toil of a bygone era.

NOTE TO CO: Log is full, full, full and needs replacing please.

Another short stop at the start of our trip down south. Around the bushes some people were chatting, but it was just far away enough to search and log unnoticed. Thanks.
