I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.
 
13-Dec-23
Unfortunately, this spot is no longer as accessible as it was when the cache was placed many years ago. As others in this series have been archived, and i am planning on moving away from New Zealand, I sadly have made the decision to archive this cache.

Dont grass to long not a great spot
 
25-Nov-23
Woah that grass is super long I dont even though where I was going! But oh well :/
 
25-Nov-23
The grass is way to long!
 
05-Nov-23
Dont know how you get down the hill?? Grass was too long to see where youre stepping beyond the gate at the bottom so might have to come back once its died off a bit in summer m. Cheers
 
05-Nov-23
Couldnt get over the fence, how do you get over there, is it a walk along the river?
 
05-Nov-23
Gate just down the road 80metres from gz follow river along to cords for the find much easier than stumbling down the hill. Aroha and happy caching
 
29-Oct-23
Sadly DNF. Is it on the other side of the fence?

Another one of this great series found and logged.

Infoferret has a few days of leave to use up and asked if I would like to accompany her on a jaunt to Napier. How could I say no???

Kia ora rawa atu for the cache MorganEd.
 
10-Jan-23
Our North Island Roadtrip from Whangarei to complete Tahi & Rua of the NZ Geotour - Day Ten.

We found this cache on a dismal raining day when picking up a few special Napier caches on our way past. Found with Lis's Crew. TFGC
 
10-Jan-23
With the Geotour coming to and end soon Yvettetb and I decided to go on a road trip to collect Tahi and Rua. Of course I had some puzzles at various places to collect and a few special types were added to the list too.

This was day 10. We travelled from Waipukurau, to Napier and then on to Taupo today. This was a bit of a detour but I'm trying very hard to collect this series. We got to within 18m from gz and realised that the shortest way wasn't the best way as you had to contend with an electric fence. With wet grass everywhere I didn't fancy a shock. We then drove to a lower point further away without an electric fence. I soon picked my way along the river bank then through tall fennel until I got to gz. A quick find there before heading back. I was overjoyed to get this one despite being totally soaked by the end of it. I definitely found it a fun experience although most wouldn't. Thanks for the cache Smile
 
27-Nov-22
I definitely left my dignity at the door, climbing over the fence and wading through long grass to this one. At least I managed not to faceplant, like a previous cache on the weekend. Found the hint location easily and the cache was in hand. TFTC MorganEd!
 
27-Nov-22
Having made it halfway down SH5 for the old virtual, we thought we’d carry on home via Napier-Hastings So CANZ it was! Parking was fine; we were concerned about the electric fence but a gingerly touch implied it was off. Only a single blackberry to avoid with bare feet. Cache was a quick find, and another clue gathered. Cheers MorganEd! Now onwards to Welly… 1,657 km & 7 charging stops by the time I arrived home.
 
15-Oct-22
Found it
 
01-May-22
This is one of my must do caches for this trip, it's my last one for the North Island. A couple of weeks ago Isis58 and I were in Auckland and between the two of us we had enough information to be able to find the NI semi final so now all that's left is the final in Nelson which is 19 kms from home. It was too dark to see if there was a proper way to get to GZ but after reading Isis58's log I figured I'd jump the fence and go down that way, I tested the fence first just in case it had been turned on since her visit and was all good, there was already a fair amount of due on the ground so was slippery going down. Found the cache straight away, log was very wet and I managed to write the date before my pen stopped working, neither of the two in the container would work so scratched my name in. I'm guessing by the time its found next the dents I made will have disappeared but I tried. Found at 10.14 pm. Thanks for the night time adventure MorganEd

17-Apr-22
Stay the night here went and got the one at Cape kidnappers in the early morning and came back decided to go to the gateway as it's wet and the grass is wet and the cliff looked overgrown whole lot of reasons really we got our feet wet though.tfOn the final final tour to finish TMGT. With daughter and Geo puppy we are on day one of 8days of geocaching.
Interesting Te Atiawa history. The cache was elusive but daughter #2 was surprised when we figured out the hint. Tftc
 
11-Apr-22
Not so much a DNF, rather a Did Not Attempt. Parked on the wrong side of the road in the rank verge vegetation as there's not much elsewhere to park. Carefully high stepped to the fence and noted the 'lectric' wire suggesting this might be private farm land. Also noted the even worse rank grass and weed growth, the rampant blackberry canes and what looks like a severe drop down a bank.
All up I decided this wasn't worth my effort, especially since one can not actually complete the CANZ series with some geocaches archived now.
But the views are stunning.
 
01-Apr-22
This cache is the whole reason I am in this area today. Very pleased that the electric fence was non-operational. It is clear that the waters have reached this point in the recent weather bomb as I tipped out about a litre of water from the cache before signing the wet log. TFTC # 18,268
 
20-Mar-22
After starting our bike ride of the Landscape Trail late, and having spent some time looking for other caches, I almost left this one for another day. Pleased I didn't - it made my day! A favourite from me. A worthy Hawkes Bay CANZ cache indeed.
 
04-Feb-22
Theres an electric fence along the fence here. It looks dodgy. I have a thing about going over fences.

 
06-Oct-21
Making this find was very high on our list today. Interesting location. Seemed a trifle dodgy but then one shouldn’t argue with Hobbits. One left to find followed by the NI semi if they ever let mainlanders back into Auckland.
 
08-Jul-21
I was totally distracted by the Hobbit house.
 
11-Apr-21
There are 4 travel bugs waiting to be taken on a trip!
 
04-Apr-21
Im finding the CANZ's are always somewhere just a little bit tricky or quirky - must be one of the rules! Sussed out the options for access and came upon the gorgeous little hidey hole. Thanks for another fantastic CANZ cache. Great spot.
 
01-Mar-21
Great climb down
 
08-Feb-21
We are cycling with 2 muggle friends from Black Bridge to Red Bridge and return via loop. We leaped over the fence and down. Cache soon discovered safe and sound. Thanks for the cache MorganEd
 
08-Feb-21
On a North Island motorhome excursion from Blenheim. A great ride on a perfect day today up and down the river. Not as much of a mission as we were preparing for. Not as far in as much previous I think. A good wee place and grand old tree. TFTC
 
08-Feb-21
My Approach from road side was not the best idea ..so down we go and soon found the hiding hole spotted..great and the cache in hand thanks MorganEd grabbed a TB
 
31-Dec-20
Well this cache took some effort to retrieve. Needed to climb two gates and avoid the electric fences. Once at GZ, I had to find a long stick with a hook and retrieve the cache a good metre + within the hole. After 15 minutes of slowly moving the cache closer to the entrance, while the wife shone a light into the hole we finally manage to retrieve the cache. Yay I have another CANZ number. Drop off a travel bug and replaced the cache within arm reach. TFTC
 
30-Nov-20
The main reason for this evenings outing was this one. I only got the Waikato one on Saturday so nice to pair with this one today. After hopping the fence near GZ I headed to Hobbiton at Bilbo's residence. After fumbling and failing to touch, I removed a large stick in the hole and shone my torch/phone into the dark. The poor cache was cowering in the corner and refused to emerge. Have messaged the CO and they are aware, logging with permission. T F T C MorganEd

All sorted after arriving at the bach so time to pop out to sample a few of the regions caches before dinner. A nice drive out partly along the Tuki valley and picked up some of the series along here.

It's that time of year again when we try and get out there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and my birthday the next day. This time we matched it up with a trip to Whanganui to see our daughter and the ever changing/developing granddaughter Kaiah. After the weekend with them we headed to Hawkes Bay for a 4 day stay in Havelock North which started off with rain but fined up nicely and finished the week well. A good break from home and plenty done and seen (as usual). Not huge numbers of finds but 22 adventure labs, the 4 TMGTs in Napier, a couple more CANZ caches and a few Virtuals as well as some other treats, T F T C to all COs.
 
26-Oct-20
Fantastic! Good thing there are no snakes here
 
27-Sep-20
A bit of a trip away to get out the Waikato, I decided to target some Eastern GeoTour caches. This trip ended up being 1294kms over the two days, and a good run for the car.

Couldn't resist making a find on the two CANZ caches in this area. Debated the best way in and decided the nearby driveway and over two gates would be the go. All good here!

TFTC MorganEd, the cache was found in good order Very Happy Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 2 find(s) of 5 today, making this find #2216
 
12-Sep-20
Out today to revisit previously unfound caches-no probs today with this one-tftc
 
10-Sep-20
Over a year since we looked for this one and grateful for the CO replacing it. Took me a while to find. GSEL must have long arms because retrieving the cache was a stick job. Couldn’t get my arms in far enough. Dropped off a TB. Great views of Te Mata peak from here. Thanks
 
29-May-20
#8010. Day one of a geocaching road trip to Gisborne and back to pick up a few TMGT caches plus a number of other caches of interest on the way north. Travelling with Infoferret. After finding the first TMGT cache we headed east to pick up the CANZ cache. IF had already found it previously so recommended we park by the gates and walk along the river bank to this one. Sun had now set but a quick walk soon had us at GZ and the cache was retrieved from deep inside the lair. Signed and replaced the cache where found. Code collected. Thanks MorganEd for hiding it here. Cheers GSEL
 
24-May-20
Awesome spot! Lucky electric fence wasn’t on.. but there gates further on to walk back...
 
23-Feb-20
Yay, got this one at last! Only 7.5 years after my DNF when the cache was missing (I don’t come caching here all that often!). This one finishes off the complete CANZ series for me after having found the Gisborne one a couple of days ago. Just the NI semifinal and the grand final one in Nelson to go now. A quick find here this afternoon. Signed log, TFTC and it’s worth a favourite point .
 
21-Jan-20
Scared wire was on so took long route through gates.

So I have a week off between jobs and so I have decided to get a return rental from Christchurch to Auckland and spend 7 days travelling and getting all of the Geotour caches via a Gisbourne. Also tried to get a few extra cool caches on the way. I would say that trip was not for the fainthearted and as a solo driver it was tough especially with all of the roadworks and detours in place. I was glad to have visited these locations but if I was to travel this route again I would take at least 2 weeks to really absorb some of the local landscapes more.

Day 4; After a restful evening it was time to take a stroll around the park near where I stayed and then hit the road to Gisbourne. Again so many great caches passed but 12hrs travelling (thanks to roadworks and diversions) I got some of the main geotours. I think this was the hardest day for me as a solo driver, I kind of wished I could have done this part over 2 or even 3 days (with one day of no driving) but here I am and now I am so close to getting the geotour completed.

======== NZ Mega 2020 ========

Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 22 to 25 October 2021 (delayed due to Covid-19) . It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

20 years of geocaching worldwide.
20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
And it's 2020 - all the 20s!
Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of this event - you won't want to miss it!

Thankfully power was off. There just a few sheep to nudge out of the way.
 
03-Jan-20
TFTC. Slightly hard to get here.
 
28-Oct-19
The crazy Labour Weekend plan is now in full swing. McJandals, NZFlossy & Davidson Clan are joining me for 29 TMGT Caches, the Manawatu Shield & Stickman series then whatever we can find in between. Our final day - an early start and something somewhat surprising was the weather was horrible in Palmy - but awesome up here! I could see this was a pretty neat area but I wasn't really prepared for fence jumping today - got there in the end though. Cheers MorganEd - TFTC - I’d also like to acknowledge watcache, mar1sa & the TMGT volunteers who have given this trip focus, and all the other COs who have made this trip such an adventure - TFTC

**Trip Stats:** 1 car, 4 Cachers, 90 hrs, 16hrs sleep, 2481Kms, 29 TMGT finds, 238 total Geocache finds.
**Route:** Tauranga - Rotorua - New Plymouth - Whanganui - Palmerston North - Wellington - Napier - Gisborne - Rotorua - Tauranga

Day 4. After a couple of days in lower north Island we have decided to return to the BOP the long way to collect the TMGT caches, cheers for the adventure and history lessons.

With no mega this year, a plan was hatched with Team BOP to come to the lower Nth Island to get some numbers knocked off, so here we are and loving it!! I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these cache. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers
 
28-Oct-19
On the road again . Homeward bound and the long way Lots of fun with Team BOP on a long weekend and lots of great caches. Thanks to all the COs for giving us a cool adventure Good to get one more of this series TFTC
 
28-Oct-19
Awesome weekend away with the Team from BOP which this weekend consists of myself Philip.Perry, McJandals and Nzflossy. Weather not so good today. We are collecting the TMGT caches and getting a few other caches on our way. This Canz cache has been on our list fpr a while so a slight detour to get this.

I'm sorry I am very behind in my logs having recently lost a finger which makes typing very painful. Apologies as my logs won't be as complete as usual.

On a weekend to Napier with Bennett24 came and looked for quite a few caches and this was one of them.

Tried to park as close to the cache as possible but that turned out to not be the most efficient way so went down to the main path in and that proved to be much better. Plenty of water about so got to splash through tthe odd puddle but got there in the end.

Lovely big cache and happy to sign in. Thanks for the cache.
 
10-Aug-19
On a caching weekend to Napier and Gisborne with Tuolei this was one of our must do caches for the weekend to get the last 2 remaining caches in the North Island.

We soon spotted where we needed to go to grab this one but the electric fence has us walking back down the road to the gate and then across a swampy stream area. Tuolei made a quick grab here as he took the right approach.

Cache is in good condition, thanks for maintaining this one, great to have another one of the series crossed off the list.

BTW - thanks to the CO for the offer of a cuppa and use of a TOTT. Sorry we didn't get time to take up the offer as we had a very busy day with finding 40+ caches (with some good field puzzles thrown in there as well). Hope to get back some day and catch up with you when we have a little more time in your lovely city.
 
13-Jul-19
Out caching with the cache owner on a great day in the day
 
13-Jun-19
Off on a 5 day mission from Northland to the East Coast with the main target being the last two CANZ caches that I had not yet found. The opportunity to grab some $25 airfares to Napier was just too good to miss, even though it was winter and the days might be short and the weather might be dodgy.

Day one though was a real mission, with early morning fog for the drive to Auckland, untold time navigating the long Akl parking lots, delayed flights before we took off and then again in the air before we could land causing a missed connection for the rental cache mobile pick up. To top it off, the weather was cold and wet, but I was still determined to try for this CANZ one before dark.

Arrived near GZ just before sunset and parked up at the nearest gate, donned the raincoat and headed off along the track and very soon encountered the first problem. The shallow culvert was now full of water and there was no way to get where I needed to be without getting wet feet. A great start to the trip...!! Luckily though, once at GZ itself, the cache was soon located, the log signed, the important code number noted and then all replaced safe and secure as found. Thx to the CO for doing a maintenance run and replacing this cache recently. Much appreciated.
 
02-Jun-19
This was one of the goals for today. As suggested, parked at the gate and walked along, hoping this wasn't private land. Took a couple of laps before I spotted the well stocked cache, tree climbing not required! Tftc, noted the code, and took one of the TBs to move along.
 
20-May-19
All up and running again sorry for the inconvenience
 
20-May-19
Parked at gateway a short distance from GZ, easy climb over gate then a short walk to GZ. Helping owner doing maintenance on cache, so was an easy find. lol. Nice hiding spot. Lovely view of the Eastern side of Te Mata peak. Dropped 2TBs. Cheers
 
19-May-19
Dnf. Needs better instructions of how to access from the road as there are only fences with electric fences and an obviously private property gate.

Staying in Te Awanga for the weekend. Mrs Rubbishparty playing her flute in a Mother’s Day concert. Did some of this series on bikes in the morning but reverted to petrol power in the afternoon. Found a few great Hobbit holes but no cache. Poked and prodded but no smiley.
 
23-Feb-19
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.
 
22-Feb-19
searched but came up empty
 
29-Nov-18
This was to be the first of the NI CANZ caches that I hope to find over the next several years. iT was not to be. I parked the e-bike up and I'm still nimble enough to climb the fence and avoid the extra wire held out from the posts. A drop down the bank and directed to a large specimen. I circled, poking around and then discovered an obvious hiding place with my garmin giving a reading of 0 metres. Nothing visible. I stuck my hand and arm in and still no luck. I found a stick and poked around but didn't hear anything to catch my attention. If it wasn't so wet I would have been lying with my arm fully in so there is still a slight chance that it is deep inside. I did extend my search a bit to the logs a little downstream. What a bummer.
 
18-Nov-18
nope-gps had us in the middle of the river-checked what we thought were possibilities but no joy
 
26-Oct-18
nice area with the views over the river to the hills. TFTC
 
04-Oct-18
One week off during school holiday time, combined with some cheap flights made a great adventure in the HB and Gisborne area, popping into BoP a couple of times also. I had great fun and I am grateful to all CO's who placed the caches for others' entertainment!!
Today I decided to have a big day and see if I can break 50, and I did, even with a few extras! And the CANZ was a must do for sure.
Nevertheless, when I got close to gz, parking was not ideal, and there was a barbed wire fence, complete with an electric fence behind it. I was thinking, there must be a better way in, as it is very obvious the landowner does not want people coming through here. Reading the logs I identified a spot a little down the road, with suitable parking. However, at this point there was a rather large very clear sign advising that this is private property, and one should not enter. Well, it may refer to just one side I thought, as surely the cache has survived here for 6 years. So I jumped over the fence to the right, waded through long grass and other vegetation (lucky we are not across the ditch) failed at crossing the creek with dry feet, and eventually arrived at the very obvious gz. However, the whole time I felt extremely uneasy, as if I was going to get shot for trespassing. It would be great if the CO could confirm on the cache page that the landowner knows about the cache, is happy for cachers to access it, and provide a suitable access point. I do not feel too good about getting onto a well fenced and marked private property to get three digits. TFTC!!
 
12-May-18
When we made our last-minute decision to come to Hawkes Bay, the chance to pick up this cache was one of the deciding factors. Late this morning we headed out past the Te Mata Hills and over the river. Parked nearby, read a few of the logs, and soon worked out how we should access GZ. Walked in and quickly found the cache. Another step closer to the North Island semi. Thanks.
 
06-Mar-18
On the road for our first venture into the North Island with our little caravan to explore this part of the country. It is not a caching expedition as such, but we do manage to stop for one or two []. We’ve been on the road now for 16 days since arriving in Wellington and have made it to Napier. Had a variety of weathers, but mostly ‘good’, and have already seen and discovered lots of interesting things about our country that are new to us. Our travels brought us to your cache, as we travelled north, many thanks, MorganEd, for bringing us here. We’ve had great fun so far and look forward to finding a couple more caches as we travel on our way. At last a decent sized cache in a good place so a favourite from us. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-18
Short walk to find this one. TFTC
 
03-Feb-18
Parked at the gate further down from the cache and climbed over 2 gates. Followed the track which led us straight to GZ. The cache was nicely stashed in the Hobbits hole. Grabbed the 3 digit code and signed the log. TFTC and the placement. Cheers Smile
 
16-Dec-17
Found with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

We are staying in Napier for a week in the middle of our two weeks over from Aus, catching up with family and friends and doing a bit of sight-seeing. Today we set off in the car with Mum to visit just a few places, but not overdo it as I was sick as a dog all day yesterday with some awful tummy bug.

We drove the back way to the Tuki Tuki valley. I grew up in Havelock North so this area has great meaning to me and it was neat to be in the area again. I kinda feel that belonging thing here. It has changed a lot, and yet also hasn't. Looking across at the back of Te Mata Peak we saw the new walking track they have carved up there. I can understand why some people don't like it, but at the same time I want to come back when it is open and walk up there myself. Razz

Prior to seeing that, I stopped at a couple of lookout areas and took photos. I have pics at home from the same area 20 years ago, so it will be interesting to comparea them. When parked near this geocache site I read a couple of logs and went down the road a little further and through the gate then through the second gate to teh right. Its pretty overgrown there but great I don't need to be concerned about snakes over here in NZ! Very Happy

I found GZ and used my phone flashlight app to look inside and there was the cache. Yay! This CANZ cache was on my 'Must Do' list and I even remembered to write down the code. Well, take a photo of it, anyway. Wink
Thanks for this cache, MorganEd. It gets a favourite point from me for the location, which has a much deeper sentimental meaning for me than I shall go into here. Smile

In Napier overnight after a good day yesterday setting off from palmy at 10am after work got caches alog our way attending an event in Napier had a nice meal and drinks and a lot of geocaching chit chat. then this morning it was time to set off and get some more caches Mr watcache decided he would bike one of the trails while Mrs watcache went off in the car heading Clive way and out and beyond. A tricky one this one with private property on the fence with two paddlocks on it electric fencing, i went up the road down the road, asked muggles who owns the property, they had no idea so I had to get the code being all this way out so off i set climbed the fence yay the next gate just opened not locked or electric fencing, but then another obstical a small stream had formed so it was to try and jumpit without getting wet feet, no chance of that it was too wide so wet shoes socks and feet it was, it wasn't going to beat me. then searched at likely location no luck rang a friend said i was in correct spot so got a stick tried again i heard a sound that sounded strange so in deep i went and yes finally some luck it was the cache,signed the log and placed the cache back where I found it well not as deep shall i say thought i would be nice to the next geocacher looking. Thank you for placing a cache here. TFTC yay got the code.TFTC

So, I'm driving from Palmerston North to Napier and decide I "just have to" collect another CANZ cache. This didn't appear to be too far out of the way. That is, until I started driving there and realised there was a big river in the way. So instead of being 10km away it was more like 50km of driving. Just to get this one cache. I parked up near GZ and wondered how I'd access what looked to be the logical item to hide it by. Thankfully I had internet access on my phone and could read back through lots of logs that indicated it was ok to cross the gate that says something like 'no entry' and then over a couple of electric fences. This was interesting with 2 kids in tow. Finally made it to GZ and the cache was quickly located. Great size, thanks. A very interesting adventure to get here but at least I have another code and it was a bit of fun too. Cheers.

Heading to Clive today for Cito Event. Needing event caches for a challenge that the Squirrel and I are doing so this will end up been a very long day.

4.15pm - Had met the owner of this cache at the cito event. She advised us to park at the gate that said private property and enter from there. So over the gate, couple of electric fences and we found it. Thanks for the directions. SLTFTC
 
12-Nov-16
With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... A cross country adventure. Our intention is to attend the local CITO Event... Then we are free to target whatever catches our attention...

We decided that this small trail would take us to Hawke's Bay CANZ... And so we arrived. We spent the early afternoon with the CO and received some pointers about the best approach here. Yes, there were warning notices, gates, and an electric fence to navigate. We managed to find our way in without much difficulty. There were lots of young thistles surrounding ground zone, and these may become problematic for the jandal brigade in high summer. The cache was a quick find and another to add to our CANZ collection. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC.

Found it over the electric fence - had to ignore the no trespassing signs but found it safe and sound. Might want to consider an alternative spot? - N

In Napier for the weekend, grabbed a few caches in this area. Straightforward find. Thanks for the cache.

Got as close as we could but the GPS wanted us to go well into a paddock with quite a bit of a bank over the fence, however it was pointing to quite a likely hiding spot so over Mr Rattll went. Sure enough, that's where it was. Quite an awesome looking tree to.
Left a pet rock -a monkey. Thanks MorganEd

Everywhere we go, we stumble into canz caches, I would love to say we planned it, but nope, just always were we want to be, which is great!
Parked up, and had a little read up, sussed out a way to get to gz, once hyjynx and myself were there locating and extracting the cache was simple.

Good views and hint item.
Hyjynx left her camera in car, so can't upload a nice shot, but it was nice Very Happy
Also I write the code down this time lol
Cheers

Pulled up to find this one but could not see any possible access way that didn't involve blackberry...

I made a special trip down from Auckland to finish the North Island CANZ caches before I head down to the South Island for the Mega. I plan to make a loop of the South Island to get the rest and finish the series before I return home.
With this goal in mind, at the CANZ: Hawke's Bay somehow I wasn't able to read the sign. Besides the CO must have permission from the land owner, right? Do I need to invent any more excuses?
After jumping one fence and going through the next, I crawled under a temporary electric fence, hopped a small stream, made my way to GZ, and found the cache. (Terrain rating might be higher for this approach.) TFTC.

P.S. By coincidence, we spent part of our honeymoon 26 years ago on a ranch a few kms from here. Quite amazing when you consider we were living in California at the time.

After trying to understand how to get to GZ via private property we made the move and cache was in hand. Made the mistake of not taking a picture of the code. Back to it again. First of our North Island CANZ. Tftc

Hmmm looks like a trick place to get to, as says private property on the gate, we walked up the road and couldn't find any other access so we jumped the fence and the other electric fence. Soon found the cache tftc

Cool find and a beautiful location. TFTC!

Pretty sure we could see where it was but was no access

Could see where this one probably is, but no access because there is an electric fence and the gate entrance locked and the sign says "private property".

Thanks so much to our caching friends jodiporsche who helped us out with this one while we were completing their Tuki Tuki Trail. Kids were passed over the electric fence and able to run down and complete this cache themselves. Very cool and awesome spot. Thanks for cache Morganed!
