After walking thru the park this one was a dissapointment as the dog walkers leave their bags of poo everywhere. Can send a picture if required.
I think I have found it... A large bin. However it is full of dog poo. It has been dragged out of it's spot and is sitting on the man hole. I have taken a photo that I will send you over the day tomorrow.
Unable to sign the log, as with all contents it is missing. The "bin" is open with dog poo in it.
Suggest cache be removed, or, better still updated. It is a great place to visit with an interesting waterfall nearby. Also, plenty of bird life as the bush regenerates. TFTC.

An easy find. It’s a real shame that lazy dog walkers are using this as a rubbish bin.
Very cool. Is geoblindness a thing, cos I looked straight at it and didn't realise until 5 mins later that it was what I was looking for. All safe and dry here. TFTC
Over shot this, ended up doing about 4 more stream crossings than we had to. Then had to do them again in the opposite directing. All good fun. Fantastic cache!
wow you must’ve gotten some crazy looks putting this in the Park. Found the wrong man hole to start with!
Well I've seen some big containers in my time but this is the most outsize one ever Even bringing it to the site would have meant a few interesting comments from passers by TFTC
I'm not sure why I'd left this unfound when I found other caches in this area. It's not like it was difficult to get to or anything. So I bowled up today having forgotten what kind of cache I was searching for when I spotted something rather conspicuous. Is that it? I checked the cache size and thought "very probably, yes". There's no room for any doubt that this is a "large" cache! Nice to find a proper log book in there. Last time I found a large cache it had a silly little log that could have fitted in a micro. I have this to give this an FP just because large caches are always fun to find - and they're reasonably rare. Very nice. TFTC.
Great cache and all in good order at GZ. We were on a Keas (scout) hike and stopped just here for lunch. As we were moving off I flicked on my Geo app and quickly made a small detour. I was sad I hadn't looked earlier and brought the boys up with me but then maybe 80 kids at once would have been too many even for this which is the biggest cache I've ever seen!
Delves into coppice around GZ… looks around for Tupperware container… gives exclamation when beholds cache! Thanks Pseudo duo
No problems here. I wasn't sure what to expect once I'd entered the bush, but I needn't have worried. The hint is spot on.

Found this one on our way to the waterfall. Certainly couldn't miss this one! tftc
Wet trainers and trousers to dry. Might have been better if woobell could have stopped laughing. Thanks for the experience
Well this would have been easier if we hadn't seen the wrong manhole first. Mrs PomsAway tried to cross the stream at a run, missed a step and fell into the water. As she retreated to the bench to dry off I spotted the correct manhole and quickly found the cache.

#513, 18 December 2016Great walk into a beautiful area. Found it with not much trouble. Had to work for it tho! Made a good swap. Great cache
Thanks for an awesome cache! Kids enjoyed exploring the contents and will be back soon to add to it
A quick easy find of a substantial cache. Unfortunately the lid had been left off the inner container, and everything except the log book is wet. TFTC
Found on my afternoon run. Lovely area. Largest cache I have found so far!
Thanks from Prague =D

My objective today as it can count towards
GC3R540
Jolly Green Giant Challenge (Dunedin, Otago)
I've already got 15 caches towards it from Dunedin but while visiting Wellington I thought that it would be nice to get one from outside my home area. Only four to go now.

# 349. With 5 geokids in tow (only two mine!), this was a perfect cache to find. Bounty galore, made their day. Tftc!
Great spot and not to many muggles. The lid makes a great seat while signing the log.
"it's Christmas!" says Queen Bean. What a fantastic Cache! Brilliant size and a beautiful hidden oasis of a location.we took some swag and left lots of bigger items that don't fit in other caches. Thank you.
Fantastic hiding place and the biggest cache we've seen! Three year old enjoyed the walk immensely thanks to lots of muddy puddles. Blackberry not a problem at present.
I braved the cold and went for a late afternoon walk from Jay Street. The container was soon spotted (be a bit embarrassing miss it really) and I signed the logbook and scurried back to the warmth of the car. A good sized cache to get my road trip under way. Cheers and TFTC
Much evidence of the recent floods on our walk up the valley today. No water problems with this impressive cache with the contents all nice and dry. Good to see such a lot of swag. TFTC
A nice walk into the valley here to make an equally nice find on a large hide. Thanks!
Nice find with Just-Lookin & Princess Emily.
Out and about finding a few caches before an event in Petone.
Good quick find - thanks for the cache.

The sun was shining, no wind and picnic packed for a day out with tmann421 and Princess-Emily collecting some local caches before heading to the event in Petone.
Princess-Emily directed us to GZ and made quick work of finding the cache. No such quick work on deciding what to swap

I took control of the GPS and led Just-Lookin and tmann421 to this spot.
Opened up the cache and thought it must be Christmas ... now what to swap

I was thwarted by approaching muggles when I first arrived at the GZ so I carried on to Waterfall Express and Time for a Pico. On my return I had to wait for one set of muggles to pass by but as soon as they were almost out of sight another set of muggles had come round the corner. I decided to push on to the cache anyway. Luckily it is out of sight of passing muggles (unless they're looking directly at you).
A wonderfully large cache with treasures galore. I dropped off a smurf of some description to add to the hoard. TFTC

Quick find - certainly unlike any cache we have found so far! Didn't have lovedit with us today so will have to bring her back for this one armed with a toy or two. Tftc
Some of us are big kids at heart! Largest cache ever found by us - great fun, thank you.
Hard to miss as you said, awesome and a good opportunity to explore a park I hadn't really checked out before. TFTC
#241. Had to visit this one on Christmas Day. An easy find and nice to see a large cache container again. Lots of child friendly stuff inside, especially for the boys. We left behind a small Christmas wrapped gift. TFTC
Had a bit of difficulty finding it as went up a few different paths and got a bit wet but well worth it to see Master 6's face when he found it. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas!
TFTC. A large cache is good to find! Now for the long slog uphill to the car. Left a TB And a pen. Cache in excellent condition. TFTC
