The stump has been removed by Contact Energy. Cache which fell out, has been passed on to ajbenn.
Took a few minutes to locate this one as once again I had nothing but the co-ords to go on. Jen made a cuppa while I was out searching so very pleasant little stop with the obligatory great views.
Many thanks
Many thanks
A quick find by Mum - couldn't drag the younger team members away from the lake! Gorgeous views from all angles, much appreciated
TFTC - cache could have done with maintenance (new baggie...) but I didn't have my normal kit on me...
Another easy find with SuBee in a very atmospheric spot - thanks for bringing us here.
Not in the most obvious place but found it when I paid attention to the clue. TFTCThis entry was edited by trampingkiwi on Monday, 06 June 2011 at 10:51:54 UTC.
@1603 What a marvellous view from the cache site. The lake was dead flat calm and the day was sunny. We spent some time here having some food and a drink.
Thanks Bitsprayer.

Thanks Bitsprayer.

Luckily I had the apprentice with me as I thought the cache had gone 'walkabout'- the obvious spot was empty but he sniffed it out. Hawea is a lovely spot! TFTC.
Trying to get 1 at every stop . Nice easy cache close to motel. Beautiful spot. Tftc
Really cool spot! Even though it tried to rain on us the water and surrounds were looking fantastic. TFTC.
Fantastic spot on an equally fantastic day.. came for a walk while he went fishing to find this one. Staying at the camp ground while on our sth island caravaning holiday.. Swapped tbs.. Thanks
We first thought the cache might be gone but found it then really quickly! T4TC and greetings from Switzerland!
#81 for me, found at 11:35am. Found after some hunting with younger Yankees, lots of great places to hide a cache around this spot. Very windy day, but warm and sunny. Traded one small rubber toy for another, compliments of the youngest Yankee. TFTC Bitsprayer.
1115hrs Easy find thanks. Caught a small salmon off the boat pontoon opposite. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
A quick found. Really a nice place to make a stop and have a view over the lake.

Found it at 06:24, my 23rd of 32 finds on a South Island wander, and my 785th find.
Quick find on an early morning walk.

We are on a caching holiday from Australia and dropped by this cache. Our first find for the day, and just before the rain started to fall. The wind was pretty cold but we still enjoyed seeing this lake and the cute wee nob. A quick search soon had the cache in hand – no TB despite one being listed. TNLNSL TFTC
Great spot for a bit of breakfast... loads of paradise ducks in the background...Quack Quack
[6:30am] Frogged around for a while in the dark, eventually came back to the right spot and found it OK. Took nothing. Left "Elizabeth" travel bug.
Found while on a trip from Australia to Queenstown for a work conference with my mate Marshy (Blacklegend17) who came along for the ride. One of 220 finds for the 8 days we were on the South Island. Drove out from Queenstown for another night of caching and another find. TFTC.
Part way through our New Zealand South Island Geocaching adventure. With my good mate and caching buddy, Marty (quasar3671). Our entire track was from Christchurch to Queenstown then on to Dunedin and finally back to Christchurch. 220 Caches in all in 7 nights/8 days.
Another night find. Cheers.
Another night find. Cheers.
Stupid GPS had us 6 metres away....why do we not look at the name of the cache more often! Cold and wet today so a quick stop.

SAB took some fotos of the nearby fly agarics, SAM found the cache. Unfortunately in the morning we got only fog over the lake.

Nearly got blown off while looking for hidey holes. Got the right one in a minute. TFTC
Pitched our tents to dry in the wind at the local camp and headed out for a couple of night caches. No troubles here. TFTC
After being disappointed as the cache site looked destroyed we tried for a second time and could retrieve the cache finally.

On approaching GZ we thought that the cache would not be there because the stump was quickly deteriorating. However, checking the information led us directly to the cache. TFTC
My heart dropped as I neared GZ. The stump looks like it has a very hard time recently. Pieces of the stump littered the ground all around. Fortunately the cache was quite okay in it's hidey hole. TNLN T4TC.
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 spent 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.

This was the fifth day of our vacation in New Zealand. This was our 23rd cache. We drove today from Haast to Te Anau – a long drive but very beautiful and, of course, we stopped for several caches along the way. Pretty spot with a few boats anchored close by. Thanks. Greetings from the Lowlandfamily from The Netherlands.
My gosh that water is blue!
Wee man came up with the find as he chased the lizards out of the way.
Great spot for a cache and a quick stop to boot.

Quite easy find.
After several days of rain (or cloudy ) it was beautiful sunny day so I really enjoyed the view.

Was staying at Hawea camping ground, when for a walk at night and found it by torch light. Swapped beer bottle top for monster truck toy.
There was a sign on the gate, that forbits the entrance. But we didn't saw it
