Buckley's Chance? (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By Bay7 on 22-Jan-15. Waypoint GC4XKE0

I am regretfully 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.

Hi Bay7

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Had a good look with my mate but couldn’t find it anywhere. Think it may be missing?

Had a good search around, but could find today unfortunately.

No go.

Still not my day, but i will persevere. Also park was busy and without child or dog look a bit suspicious!

Good find

Ez

will head back another day for a better look!

Spent the best of part of hour, scrambling around the bushes collecting mosquito bites and scratches but no cache. Don’t understand if hint is to be taken literally or something else. GPS won’t corporate due to the foliage I assume, maybe today just wasn’t my day or the cache has muggled, either or. Some hints would be appreciated.

Cool little park though.

??

Found it after not too much searching, nice placement. Still don't understand _eulc eht_ though?

Great hiding spot, took a while but found it! Didn’t sign but will come back later!

Took a step back and wahla!

If you like to be eaten alive by enormous tones of mosquitoes this is the right place for you
I had to ask previous Finder for a little help.
All ok here exept the hungry mozzies .... .
【T】【F】【T】【C】

Dang! First ever hunt and I failed!! Luckily the park is near to home so will be back

Ehh, after rumbling through the trees and getting scratches, I found no cache. I had other caches to find, so I was under time constraints. It must've been a good hide

Well it wasn’t a super quick find I was hoping for. But after a few minutes I found it easily, just had to take a step back.

All good here today.

Thanks for the cache!

Daily found in November 2020. TFTC

I had a spare 15 mins before my appointment and wondered what sort of chance I had ? I was fortunate enough to make a quick find with no one around but the difficulty arose on replacing the log and bag back in the cache. A couple of people had come into the kindy and sat watching mildly curious in my being there. I stuffed it in as quickly as possible under a rather tricky situation. Whew! Tftc.

Haha, definitely look at the clue...

Lovely little park, and plenty of little people about enjoying it. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the cache.

Here second time to help nette1234 ....really prickly gz...lots of bags of dog poos in trees..
No joy..

Woo hoo...She stepped back...looked elsewhere and found it!
Thanks!

After a 20min search, just about to give up. Looked at a different angle. And there it was.

Our first ever! Fun camo, bring your good eyes.

Great time to look as no one around, but couldn’t find. Will come back later.

No chance to check on this one lately, but if G2 found it - it must be all good !

Great little hide!
Needed help though as I was under observation.
Allok
Thanks!

Out for another Sat Morning Mission with Helefant. Making our way around Mt Roskill picking up a few finds. This one did take a while once we read a few logs we tried a different approach and there it was. Nice park. SL. TFTC.

No luck today.

People in Plunket rooms ad crunchy leaves

Next time.......

Kinda hard but found in end

so good holy that was epic

Way too many leaves and organic matter, no luck

TFTC. Tried my best to put PP on log. Very damp. Lovely wee park with a few families enjoying the play equipment and the Plunket Rooms mini play equipment.

Picking up some mystery at the museum finds today; been meaning to get this one for a while so this is a good excuse. Log here is soaking wet, managed to scratch an ‘ahb’ on there

I have looked for this one a number of times. Today my luck came in. Thanks Bay7.

Found by my daughter's but we forgot a pen for the log

Found by my daughter's but we forgot a pen for the log!

Headed out early to find a few caches before meeting up with TheWonderStuff. It appears that someone has swept up an entire garden's worth of leaves and dumped them right at GZ. I didn't want to spend too much time rifling through a wet pile of leaves.

Spent too much time searching through the undergrowth so decided to move on as I had other caches to find.

Spotted it after looking elsewhere - nice container.

On a road trip north, enjoying the day and pic up some caches. TFTC

Logbook was totaly wet. Put a new one there.
Greetings Die_Asseln

Very secretive playground, nice cache. TFTC

Yay

Waterlogged unfortunately!

It was nice and quiet when I stopped here after work, so had an easy search and made a quick find, TFTC

Thank you

Yipee, probably visited here more than a dozen times. Ten of those times, the park was in use, and as a adult did not think fossicking around in the shrubbery while children played near by was a good idea. The 2-3 times I had the place to my self it was a simple DNF.

But not any more. Cache log has dried out since the last finder but new paper is required.

Out getting a couple of caches near to home this afternoon.Stopped nearby and walked to this quiet reserve where we made a nice quick find thanks to the accurate co ords.Cache was very wet which meant we were unable to sign have drained out as much of the water as we could.

Just couldn't find.

Took us a while after we came within 5m of the cache. Thanks to Bay7 for a challenging find.

Not too hard to find, however log is almost full and a bit wet. TFTC

Auckland Day 1: Royal Oak - Onehunga

Back in Auckland for the month, and it’s time to pick up yet more caches that I have yet to find for some reason or other. After sleeping off the jet lag this morning, it was time to go get some caches after lunch. I was driven to Pah Homestead where I started my long walk, and ended off the day by the Manukau Harbour. Very good fun, thanks to some brilliantly constructed caches in this part of Auckland.

The following is the specific log for the cache:
This park was a little bit of a detour, but I decided to go for it anyway. The small reserve for deserted today, so it was perfect for cache hunting. I spent the longest time rummaging in the bushes when I spotted something on the ground. It looked cache-like and there were logs within... gasp, it’s the old cache! Amazing! I guess this counts as a find then. I could not find the new one though. Hope it is still there. TFTC!

I remember coming here a while ago, but there had been a string of dnfs (I think) and we didn't really search too hard. Today we put some more effort in and found the well hidden cache. Thanks!

Got a few mozzie bites trying to get this one. Took a little while to find, but got there in the end. Tftc

I was passing by and saw this had been replaced so stopped and made a nice quick find of the cache. It's always nice to turn a frown upside down

Although the park was completely deserted we still felt quite conspicuous due to the nearby houses.
As we approached GZ we saw a plastic bag on the ground and it was the type you would typically expect to find in a cache container so we wondered if the cache had been muggled.
Fortunately after a brief search we were pleased to find the cache safe and sound although the log was quite wet due to the plastic bag in the container having a hole in it, so we made good use of the random bag on the ground as a replacement.
The cache is now tucked away where we found it and is a lot drier thanks to an impromptu CITO.
Thanks Bay7 for a nice hide in a park we had no idea existed.

Search for 10 min but no luck.

One last look and found it.

Unfortunately the gardeners keep throwing this Cache away with foliage.
I have replaced it again. Enjoy !

Hey... just wondering if this cache has been updated?

Will check on this soon, may need to look at moving it as this will be the 4th replacement.
Cheers

Despite being with a previous finder we couldn't find the cache

No luck finding it, it may be buried under the tree clippings and new growth

So many mosquitoes!

Dear Cache Owners,
I am a German guy who stays in New Zealand for eight months.
My English is not perfect, so please don't wonder if my log entries sound a bit strange. Thanks!

----------
Not longer hanging, its no at the bottom of a tree. Lot of mosquitos here!
Thanks for hiding!

Found it thanks! Not hanging any longer but still there

Woohoo! After 3 previous unsuccessful visits, I have finally found this cache!
There was no one around, so was pretty quick to find. The tree has been cut back a lot, leaving the cache in plain sight so I hope it won't get muggled! Cache didn't match hint but co-ords are right on Thanks for the cache Bay7!

Tftc, cache location might need some maintenance as it didn't fit some of the descriptions (ie was on the ground)

Our second find today. Two very excited children. Cache was detached from hook, have tried to reattach as best as we can

Out for an early walk before work so stopped in here after a DNF yonks ago. Now l know where the cache is l recall a lot of tree branches were down after a big storm which must have been covering GZ. No problems today, nice quick find. TFTC

DNF

Nice great for the kids

I had an early start at the office this morning and so come afternoon tea time I decided that it was time for a quick adventure to get a cache near by as a way of getting some fresh air. I had seen this one on the map and decided that it was worth taking a look at as people had indicated in the logs that it was a quick find. So after finding a park, I initially sat at the table taking a phone call which was the perfect cover as the park was full of muggles. And so, after sitting for awhile I pretty much worked out where the cache would most likely be thanks to your hint. And, blow me down, as I was sitting at the table, my eyes adjusted and there was the cache. Hiding right in front of my eyes. The trick now was to choose my time to make the grab as I didn't want to look like some kind of weird guy hanging out in a kid's playground area... and when the time was right I made the grab without being spotted by anyone nearby. The log is in really good condition. And once again, waiting for the right moment I put the cache back nicely and then was on my way back to the office. So thank you Bay7 for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. It was also nice to see some of the first signs of spring as well. TFTC!

The day is passing by, and little rebel and rebel98 are needing lunch, and I mean now! luckily a pie/cake shop is not far from GZ. So with paper bags full of goodies, we sit at the picnic table near the cache, enjoying the Winter sun

Well the GPS bounced a little, but on increasing my search area, I spotted the hide - could even see it from the table once you knew where it was! love how it can be seen but hidden at the same time. Thanks for the replacement, good to turn the frown to a smiley.

Quick easy find Tftc, Nice sunny Day out with Rustynz and little Rebel.

Nice, quick find

This was a cool find

It looks like some chopping was done to the tree. Wondering if it is gone now as we couldn't find it.

After not finding this one in it's previous muggled incarnation, it was nice to make a nice quick find in the awakening dawn this morning. TFTC which is my "Cache of the Day" to continue my daily streak: Day #118)

Took a while and using the hint but got it

Found it after a frustrating search, love the eclipse tube

Muggles everywhere! Had to use a bit of stealth TFTC

Had to wait for muggles to disappear so played on the playground. Then spent a few minutes hunting for it. KaiyaBug found it!

I drove back and forward looking for a walkway of some sort to get to the cache but not finding one I looked more closely and could see the cache is at the rear of the Plunket place. Upon arriving at GZ, I thought OMG, this IS impossible! So many places to search, but I persisted, and started one end and worked my way to the cache after just a few minutes. Nice to see a new log, pity it wasn't for a FTF chase! So it wasn't too hard to find and returned it the same place. Thanks for the maintenance Bay7.

Replaced, all good to go. Please ensure you replace cache properly so it doesn't fall into undergrowth. Thanks

Is the CO able to check on this one please?

Not there

Will check on this soon....

Did not realise this cache already had a few DNF, and with evidence of the tree being pruned in the past, suspect its gone. Perhaps needs a check by the CO?

First one for us in NZ. Bush around and it looks like it's been recently pruned. Live 2 mins walk away will come back.

No luck finding this one today.....

Between the 4 of us, no luck today. We shall return!Yay for the park. Had a good play.

Got upset when I saw the strings hanging from the trees then saw a likely location and there it was. Pretty cool cache.

Thanks it's our first one ever so super exciting for the kids!

Couldn't see it. Lovely wee park though. Hidden gem.

One last look and I found it! worth hanging around
