Geocacheasaurus (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By stevecoxnz on 27-Mar-16. Waypoint GC6E8YQ

Not too far into the grass - good spot.

DNF too many grass cuts

TFTC took a while but after looking at the photos we eventually found it

Took a while cause Im wrong spot

Yea couldnt find this one either. Dont really know where to look. Little bit more of a location would help

Eluded me today - even knowing what I was after didnt help. There are only so many swordgrass cuts one can take TFTC

Himself was on a cycling reccy out this way so treated myself to a bit of light caching after a yummyasaurus lunch. TFTC. New hint def helpful.

Looked and looked but didnt find unfortunately

Felt like we were close, the cutting grass was too hard to navigate

I have changed the hint as ppl sometimes are not too happy with cutty grass so that should help.

we were in the area primarily chasing an ad lab point, but it's so lovely here that we decided to spend a bit of time exploring the area and picking up some trads as well.We timed things well (fluked it), and came here at low tide. No problems spotting the cache, but the log was too wet to sign (see matagouri's photo).I left one of my trade items instead - a grey whale.Thanks for setting this up Grey whale

In Beachlands/Maraetai with rattll this weekend, an area neither of us have ever cached before (and that's a rare thing in the NI!)A quick find, although tucked away out of sight. Log very wet, unsignable, so took a photo. Returned as found. Tftc!

Found it! Log book was a bit soggy, so couldn't sign it, unfortunately.

Thank you. Bit of leakage in there now so couldnt sigh log.

Found

Nearly gave up. Got a few cuts but found it. TFTC

Found with the help of the owner.

Great hide, really worth finding. With a little help from the CO, found with CamKerry.T4TC

DNF. Will come back with better leg and hand protection.

Didnt seem to be able to spot this one today.

Checked out cache today.still there

Shorts / cutty grass. Not a good mix. I gave this one a miss. Another day with the right clothing maybe.

We looked up and down, all around but couldnt find it. Maybe the wind or sea took it away

On another tidy up mission to Auckland with ABCDF4 and KGD this was first on the radar,
gps all over the place so start searchin, and some more searchin, then after a lot of searchin,
that little voice says ; found it, Mrs ABCDF4 was the finder so tick this one off, TFTC.
O that luvly cutty grass.

Back up in Auckland again with KGD and EyespyBen
This was a first find for the day
Nice to turn this blue face into a yellow smile
Searching in the cutty grass
A bit tricky but we got it in the end
Thanks

Up with ABCDF4 and eyespyben. This one was first on the list as we had been here before and all walked away with no luck. This time we had time and were determined to find it. Nearly about to give up when Mrs ABCDF4 found it. Thankful we signed and replaced. Thank you for the placement.

Above the water line

Found it! Its a bit hard. Hope you like dinos.

Those bushes are a bit evil.

Got cut up a bit whilst searching in the grass. Unsuccessful.

Got this one on my way back. Wonder what was the best way to get it. Pick the right spot and cache was there. Think logsheet squish at the bottle of container. Pretty wet. Pic of container. Have a pic of whole cache if needed. Tftc

No Luck for as today to much cutter grass
But we will be back

This took us awhile as we were a bit cautious with the little ones in the grass but they persevered!!

This one was a bit tricky. We had fun scrambling around looking for dinosaurs!

Enjoyed the walk along this beach but after the cutter grass got me I gave up on this one.

GPS was off but very cool cache

TFTC

What a stunning spot on this nice quiet walk along the beach. Just what we expected to find. TFTC .

Thanks

Nice area we have never been to before. Lovely afternoon to spend the Queens Memorial Day. TFTC, it took a lot longer then it should have! Watch out for the cutty grass

We passed this one since there were a few muggles walking on the beach. Fortunately, they were heading back to the carpark, but we went on to go for the other caches first.
Went and found the rest then we came back to this one, which ended up being really quick as we saw the cache in our sight. Bit of cutty grass but nice and easy.
Log all good and signed. TFTC.

Found it, be prepared for the cutty grass

Very clever. Our boy was excited to find this one!

Found with Themontaguesnz tftc

Found With oisinnz
Thanks for the interesting cache tftc

Nice place

Found it! Wow,that was hard

Checked on cache today…. Still there.

We are enjoying a fine morning wandering along the shoreline collecting a few caches along the way. We were pretty certain as to what we were looking for here, but the Geocacheasaurus was somewhat elusive and took a little while to locate. TFTC.

We looked and looked but after the second cutty grass cut, we gave up and headed further up the beach.

Got it

Took a few minutes to find but got it in the end, awesome idea!

Ta da

This was a great one, our cat helped us find it.

Checked on cache today, it’s still where I put it. It’s not on or under the tree .

Two of us looking but did not find

Had quite a hunt round the tree but no luck

What a fun cache found it 20/3/22

sneaky!! tftc

Hubby decided to investigate something more closely and came up with the goods! Another great hide and deserving of a fave point. TFTC

Nope, not today

Just checked cache……still there in its cave.

I feel like I got the clues I just couldn’t find it

Did not find

Took some time to find it, but got there in the end

Not today try again some other time tide coming in.

Had a look, after not finding it, I checked the hint, I thought I was looking in the right place bit its was subjective on your stand point.

Returned back in time to find my dino with a seasoned guide to point the way, found the cache after a little poking about.

Now the cache is back in place and I have to either walk on water or brave the treacherous wilds to find my way back without getting any wetter than I am.

Couldn't find it maybe a few more hints would help

Checked cache.....Still there.

Cache is still there.

Will definitely come back to find it...

Struggled with fading light - will come back earlier another day.

Cache replaced.

Gone missing. Will replace soon.

What an awesome spot for caching - loved this series along the beach! Unfortunately though, after a small string of finds I was unable to locate this one. I searched high and low, but I have the feeling I was in too deep.. maybe next time!

We could not find any signs of this one in spite of thorough search - with a repeat on the return journey!

alert level 2.....lets play again

Due to the covid 19 situation I will be disabling all my caches until we no longer have to self isolate. Anyone logging one after this date will have the log deleted. Stay safe.

Friend got scared finding it was a good hide

Found it quick an a bit easy.
TFTC. Comateam.

Another cache found along the beach. Cache signed as team SEAC to save space on the log as we had 4 (I think) different caching names between us (by now a few had headed off to other unfound caches in the area as they had the others down the beach).

Argh a dinosaur!!!! Love the camo! Although the container position looks a little painful TFTC!

Cool cache for a very windy day

Awesome. My favourite cache so far

Good one. Distinctive

Love this container! Typical Steve cache another clue down to help us unlock the next souvineer! TFTC Steve!

Man that made me jump!! Great geocache Thankyou

Cool cache

Nice cache. Very clever hiding place tftc

Found it! First try revealed nothing then we came back and the coordinates has updated/ improved and lead us straight to it

Rebuilt it's cave. Should be easier to find.

Good cache - meow (found a while ago with my mum Raven_eyes)

A funny find, TFTC

Good news was the tide was our as we rarely check that out first or seem to get lucky.A lovely stroll along the beach here picking up the caches.Once we located the right area it was a nice quick find.Great container and first of its kind.Very suited to its hiding place.

It was a beautiful day for a stroll around Pine Harbour with my geolad, and as we've never been here before it was all virgin Geocaching territory for us too.

The tide was busy encroaching onto the beach when we got to GZ, so we were hoping for a quick find as we still wanted to go for the two additional caches available without being cut off.
As it turned out, thanks to the hint it was a very quick find so we were able to sign the log and be on our way to try to outrun the sea!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache

Found today with the help of TwigNZ, TFTC

Super creative! It’s quite rocky! The kids loved climbing around for it.

Headed out this way to join up with a group to cache at Duder's Reserve. Left a few hours earlier to find a number of caches that I didn't have a chance to look for on my last visit in the area.

I had to lose a very friendly dog that was following me so I could go off in search of the cache. Didn't take me too long to spot once in the right location.
