OMG the mozzie are horrendous. I was determined to get it with all the favourite points. I figured out the clue smile I was waiting for a flight and happy to sneak this one in before the weekends festivities. TFTC it was a good one

I thought that there were so many hiding places it could take some time., but the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC
We decided on a last-minute stop for this cache. I had seen a few people on their logs say they had it within a minute or two and thought... well, this shouldn't take long!!! 20 mins later, we were able to sign ( L@L and the date, just to keep it short so there is more room for more logs). It was somewhere we searched several times, and embarrassingly, it was a type of cache we have seen before (just better hidden this time). TFTC

A quick find in a lovely location with a great back story. Thank you for this cache
Maybe I have run out of caching patience today but I could not find this one. Thanks anyway
Not recommended to start your search from the riverside. I did a bit of bush bashing before giving up and approaching from the roadside. This was much easier. It looked like the container may have been raided as there was just the log, a stone and a small rubber monkey left. I added a couple of small swaps before logging and leaving. TFTC
A quick find on a quiet spot. I replaced the plastic snap lock bag for the log work one that is a little more water resistant. TFTC
I got this in the wind and rain and decided to take it back to the car to solve in order to preserve the integrity of the puzzle and my mood. We attempted to open for a while before giving up and looked up solutions. The missing piece proved a bit of an issue, but we were determined not to give up as this could very well be our last cache of 2023. We had success and logged out find. I left a few small swaps before returning the cache to its original spot. I have given the plastic bag an upgrade as I want to keep it safe from water. TFTC

While waiting for the chocolate factory to open for our tour and while it was still muggle free I thought I would take the opportunity to find this cache. A quick and easy retrieval before logging and returning. TFTC
A quick cache and grab. I should have worn more enclosed shoes due to the prickles. Only log in cache, so I added some swaps after logging. TFTC
We took the time on our trip to investigate the moraeaki boulders. The last time we were here in was raining sideways, and we gave it a miss. Happy to be able to include this on our itinerary this time. While we were on the beach, I noticed this cache on our way back. A quick detour and cache in hand, we logged and left. TFTC
Had a good look but think it is missing. Have messaged the owner of the cache.

We just breezed into town and already having one cache up our sleeves we thought we would try for another. A quick cache and a great looking container. TFTC
A quick find in a lovely spot. We loved the outdoor lounge set up and left a quality swap. TFTC
A quick and easy find. We stopped for lunch and thought we would grab a cache while we were here. Contents slightly damp so I left a moisture absorber sachet and some small swaps. TFTC
A very quick easy find for this cache. It is a shame the lady one kept going missing but that happens. TFTC
We had a fairly good look. We used the hint and looked at some of the previous logs photos for locations and have decided this has probably been muggled.
I decided once we were settled into camp that this would be an excellent time to grab a cache. I started my walk and at about 20% of the way up the hill realised Jandalls might not have been the best choice for this assent. Once I was there it was a very quick and easy find. I left some swaps as I figured this is likely to attract family cachers and kiddie cachers. TFTC the contents were nice and dry.
A busy muggle spot. We waited for one muggle family to leave to retrieve the cache. Just as they did two more girls showed up. Found it while they were not looking but then another family shows up from behind argh. Got there. Log very full with only one spot left to sign. TFTC
We searched for a bit. Nothing that for hint ribbon wise. Just blue at best. We had to give up at some point. Very disappointed we didn't get this one. Confident it must be there, but just very well hidden. TFTC anyway
29-Dec-23
A quick find. I left some swaps for future cachers. Very few muggles about. TFTC
I thought this was going to be super quick and easy. It turns out there was much more traffic than I anticipated. I must have looked a bit dodgy trying to look inconspicuous in between p paying vehicles. TFTC
A lovely spot. I had to wait for a couple to leave the seat bench in order to search for this. I made a swap and took a travel bug. TFTC
Oops.i think the segway tour guide might have seen me. A quick cache and grab with the contents of cache dry. TFTC
28-Dec-23
A get little cache and grab. We were in Glenorchy for Ziplining, which we loved. We are having a fantastic time in New Zealand and wish we could stay just a little bit longer (we will be back).TFTC
A bit of research before hand helped us find this much faster. It was uphill from GZ and the clues from previous logs helped narrow down the final location. The cache is lovely but the tree is what we really came here for. Have taken travel bug and left some swaps. TFTC
A quick find in a lovely location. Definitely worth the walk to the top four the view. I put back a best I could but being that I am not seven feet tall I needed a stick for the return
27-Dec-23
A busy muggle area with limited parking for the bus, I used the hint to quickly locate this one. It was exactly where the hint described. I didn't want to miss out on this one with a name like that!. TFTC
A quick and easy find. The cache was full of water despite the double plastic bags. I emptied the water out and tried to dry a best I could. No swaps in there, so I thought I would add a few just to get it started again. TFTC
A very high muggle area. I spent ages trying to look like I was getting a different view. Once I saw the cache I had to wait for a break in the muggles before making my move. I then had to step away in order to log discretely, before waiting until everyone's back was turned and quickly returned cache to original position. TFTC
A good spot to let the engine cool while I grabbed this quick and easy cache. Log book and contents nice and dry. TFTC
A quick cache and grab. Found the cache in good order but contents wet. We emptied all the water and tried to dry as best we could with the little time we had. Took two swaps and left about half a dozen in return. TFTC
Wow busy muggle area!. With the line up for the toilets I could have sworn a tour bus had just pulled up. I am waiting patiently in position until the general masses quieten down, when a small child starts shrill screaming. This diverts all the muggles attention and I got for the cache undetected. I sign my find and now wait for a quiet moment again. I think I was undetected but there may have been someone in a back seat of a car I could have missed. TFTC it was a challenge due to the high muggle area

I finally got to get this cache today. A quick walk after Christmas lunch. We have always found this a high muggle area. We did have to wait for three sets of muggles to pass through before searching again in earnest. We searched an area that we had searched a couple of times before. We located the cache and signed and logged before muggles came back. TFTC
A cute cache and grab. Had to use my pen as an aid in extraction. TFTC

Really wanted to find this cache as we took a spontaneous detour. GZ indicated the opposite side of the road from the river, but previous logs indicate riverside. Saw lots of blackberry, and as I am wearing flip flops it was not practical to retrieve. Thanks for placing anyway. A nice little side detour
