50 Geocaches

In the April school holidays Grandma's A team began geocaching. Our first cache was nearby about 5 minutes walk from home. Since then the team of Charles, Christopher and Grandma has found 21 caches in our local area. Charles and Christopher found 28 more ( plus two they located but could write in log due to muggles) in South Africa. We have place one cache of our own which has been visited five times. Our own cache is called Tana's Track. It is near several other caches in the Wainuiomata River recreation area, including the oldest still active cache in New Zealand.

In South Africa Charles and Christopher place a travel bug in the TB hotel (Palm Tree TB Rest Stop in Polowane). So far it has not been moved.

One of our favorite caches in near Opiki Palmerston North . Check out this interesting website about the bridge.


To celebrate our 50 finds or places we have bought a 50 geocoin which we will start on a journey from the first cache ( Hezka Prochazka) we found.

To quote from Charles speech ( for which he gained a disticntion in the NZ Speech Board exams) " There are thousands of geocaches all over the world. Thousands of people enjoy geocaching. I (We) find it fun. You could join the fun and look for "treasure" too."
