Someone needs to invent a very tiny extendable ladder, lol. Tried the "step" but that didn't work either!! Will be back with reinforcements
Easy find. Have a digger here clearing out the stream. Looks like he's taking a break so in for the grab. Grab tb and left a purse behind. Tftc
Spotted the tree a long way off so the cache was easy find. What a beautiful walkway. Dropped off Albert the Gorilla TB. Please pock him up and take him to the zoo!TFTC.
2499 Today I am in Papamoa but the sunny weather has deserted me. Not quite Kookabura weather but definitely caching weather. Cache was exposed so covered after signing.
Found while out for bit of a drive during AIMS Games week with Jr Cacher Number 2 and two members of his swimming team. A nice walk in the spring sunshine and an easy find. TFTC.
Great cache in a nice park. Left a TB. While I was logging my fellow cachet decided it would be a great idea to take a dip. Lol he is usually white. We had a great walk, and now it's home for a bath! Haha TFTC
What a lovely area!!
Really nice place, TFTC and thanks for placing it here.
Nice place to come with kids, though the cache might be too high for younger kids..
Needs to be cleaned and log soon to be replaced. I took the red balls out as they were coloring everything red.. But couldn't clean it all. Have the TB and will place it soon in another cache

On a mission today to find caches in Papamoa...quick find here. A few children playing in the park but we were stealth. Thanks for the cache
After finishing a multi just up the road the Caniwi family and I grabbed this one quickly luckily the park was pretty empty.
Easily found and replaced by the kids. Tftc

Quick find for this one compared to the other Noodlekidz caches that we went looking for today. Nice cammo container.
Lots of birds chirping in the drizzle today. Not me - my feet are wet. Thanks for the cache.
No kookas here today all very quite nice we cache and quick sign thanks for a great cache
Why oh why did I start looking in Pine Tree !!!!.Some beautiful homes in this area.
Cheers

Nice quick find today. On approach thought this had been muggled as there is a plastic container on the ground. On closer inspection found the well camoed container. TFTC
This one was missing last time we tried, but success today. I immediately knew the musical reference in the title and sang a rousing rendition to a bemused Steed who hadn't heard it before. We realised how old the song is when we got to the last line - how our language changes!
I liked the glass dome beads in the cache, so swapped for a pair of earrings. We left the cache a bit better hidden than we found it, as it was very visible.

Awesome cache, clean well maintained with lots of lovely trinkets. Pretty little park love the bridge by the willow tree. Thank you
It was my plan to come out here on last night and get my daily cache using my nighttime method of one just before midnight and one just after, But a new cache popped up so the FTF was to tempting so change of plans and back down here tonight to pick this up then over to Live Wire to get my one after midnight.
Nice easy find here also discovered a TB so will move along

Yay our 100th cache!! Great way to top off the tonne before heading back to Hawkes Bay. Tftc
7049. Out for a day's geocaching in the Tauranga area with Nodo (David and Noelene) from Waihi. This was our nineteenth cache find of the day. What a nice area to live in. When Rodney's parents lived in Papamoa Beach Road this was all boggy paddocks! Rodney sat this one out in the car as he was feeling tired! We had the cache in hand after a reasonable search and signed it off. Now off to find a some others in the area. Thanks. Rodney and Iris.
4.35pm. We are spending the day in Tauranga with "Sallies" from Christchurch. Back tracked to the bridge then we were on the right side of the water. Noeline was quick to spot this one.
Thank You David and Noeline.
Thank You David and Noeline.
A nice place to bring people and a great place to run the dog. Thanks for bringing me here.
Found on our first geocaching adventure. Great swaps to get us excited. Thanks for the cache.
Out for a numbers mission in and around The Mount and Papamoa with 11HPG11 and iammrwalker today. With a very early start of 5am agreed on, it was going to be a long day compounded by the All Blacks playing before we left which meant a 3am alarm being set the night before. We all had a great time and a lot of laughs were had in between some frustrating hides, a really enjoyable multi and a couple of great field puzzles. All in all a very successful day with only a handful of DNF's, the weather keeping at bay for most of the day and 86 new smiles added to the map in a little under 13 hours of caching. We signed the cache log "Hi 1" an acronym of our caching names. A big thanks to all the cache owners for placing some great caches.
Cache sitting out in the open, covered when re-hidden. Thanks for the hide.

This was one of more than fifty Geocaches I found today in the company of HKB and 11hpg11. We signed the logs HI1, an anachronism of our handles to save on log space. We travelled over to the Mount and Papamoa from Hamilton, leaving at the end of the All Black/ South Africa test at about 5am and didn’t roll back into Hamilton until after 8pm. It was a long day, and the weather wasn’t the best but that didn’t stop us from having a great time exploring the area and enjoying the wide variety of high quality hides.
Nice obvious beacon ensured a quick find, we re-hid it better than we found it.

Out on a numbers mission with HKCB and Iammrwalker to clear out some of the caches in Tauranga/Papamoa area. We left Hamilton at 5am and had a full day of caches, a few DNFs, a refreshing swim in a pond and a whole lot of laughs. We signed logs as 'HI1' as an acronym for our caching names to save log space. Thanks to all the cache owners for the great variety of caches, puzzles and locations
Impressive tree. Thanks for the hide

My last morning in the Mt Maunganui/Papamoa area to pick up a few more caches before heading back home in the afternoon.
Had to wait for a couple of muggles to pass on by.
Cheers for the cache.

Biked around to this spot from Waters Edge and was at the tree before I realized it. Straight forward. Took a minecraft wrist band and left a dino and a sticker.

our first attempt at geocaching and we're in love. the boys loved finding this cache.
Every day we are traveling around is same but also different. Today we had again the pleasure to visit some very beautiful spots and were also able to find nearly placed geocaches. I thank every single owner for placing it and giving us with doing this an other good reason to come here.
Mallorcatommy and I were travelling through the northern island of New Zealand. What an amazing, breath-taking landscape! On our way we did some nice walks, enjoyed ourselves and found great geocaches. Thanks to all owners for nice hiding spots... We wouldn't have been to a few places without these little boxes!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Unfortunately no cache for us today must have flown away but we left a small swappable anyway
It appears that the cache had gone missing. A new container is now is place. We put the McGregor's swappable they left in the cache.
Go find it !!
Go find it !!
Great Park thanks for the opportunity of the cache, sadly I didn't find it
Will keep an eye on posts to see if kookaburra returns

There seemed to be only one place that was likely, although we tried elsewhere, but we are pretty sure the kookaburra has flown away.

Out and about for a days caching over in the Bay with Zorgon, to see what we can find, before Mrs Dragon and I head out of town for a short time.
This was our twenty first cache of the day and we arrived nice and early.
The Easterly wind was doing a great job at keeping the muggles away which is all fine by these cachers
Thanks for the placement
