Found it. Took me a long time to find! We searched anywhere and then boom we found it. TFTC- MaxGamingood. 
I found it. it took me a lot of time to find it but eventually found it. TFTC!!!!
The last morning in Beachlands for me and rattll. We went for an early morning walk to find this one on a loop around Leigh Auton Reserve. A cold morning, heavy dew on the grass. A bit of a hunt required at GZ, rattll eventually found it on the other side from where we'd been looking. Lid missing, but log still ok. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!
This one took a wee bit of a search before it was spotted. My reluctance to take my hands out of my pockets, on this frosty morning probably didn't help Thanks for setting this up
Being back in the area of Auckland and having some muggle friends with me I opted about for a nice (loooong) walk, and they joined me they seemed a bit exhausted after some hours so off we went to waiheke island to visit some vineyards Well foundTftc
A pretty straightforward find here. Not sure were all the previous comments relate to. TFTC
Found it. Couldn't access the cache as you need to push through the bush. But it is visible
With family leaving me in peace for Christmas Day I decided to come to the area to spending the day caching. Heading back to the car. Loo0ked in the easy option but not there. Once I changed sides I soon had it signed. Thank you for the placement
The weather just keeps getting better and better today so we are loving being out here looking. TFTC and for bringing us here .

Took the dogs for a nice early morning stroll to GZ and the cache was a nice quick find - thankfully. TFTC

More due to a constant stream of dog walkers, cyclists, joggers, so Sunday arvo is not the best time for this one.
Given the type of container there were only a few places this could be. Had to wait for various people to pass by, but once there was a gap, this wasn't too difficult to retrieve and sign. Thanks! Nice park for a walk.
It's my Mega weekend road trip! This is day two, a bulk find day, attempting to complete the Crayola 64. Will expand on my logs, post photos, qualifying caches for challenges, etc. When I get home. TFTC

Decided to get started on Beachlands as I had this on my radar for quite some time. Perhaps summer isn't the best time for caching for me as I regularly get rashes on my arms due to grass allergies. Anyway, since I was out here...
Read the logs as my GPS located it on the wrong side of the bridge as well. Found it on the other side. Got to see a 1/2 rotting hedghog, though. YUM! TFTC

Mr 6 did some ground scrambling and found it for us. Absolutely no one around on this beautiful day! Thanks
I was really needing to get away for a day, and since interregional travel still isn't a possibility, the best I could do was crossing the 175°E line 
Caught the 7:00am ferry over to Pine Harbour, where I had never been before, and spent the day walking to Maraetai with plenty of stops along the way. Not a big caching day, with 7 finds all up, but it was great to be near the sea and far(ish) from home on a beautiful day.
This was my first find of the day, nice and easy although like some previous finders I was searching on the wrong side at first. Had to wait out a lot of dogs and muggles as clearly this is a popular spot, especially when the weather is as nice as it is today. Cache is all good. TFTC!

Found it… I was lured to the wrong side for the first 5 mins… easy to find when you look in the right place.
Tried to look for it with the clue under and couldn't find went to the middle
checked this cache and everything is in good order, added a new log paper. Happy caching
I don't think the hint is very helpful. However, the cache appears to be missing so maybe thats why the hint doesn't make any sense 
Last cache of the day and a nice and quick one to expedite my return home, thanks. Added name and replaced as found and time to moan about the traffic/driving stadards etc.
My original aims for today were quite lofty, and not really achievable but one can dream eh? I planned to get the last missing aspect of the Virtually anywhere in Auckland at Waitawa Regional Park, go up to the top of the Clevedon walkway to the lookout to complete the Adv Lab there, do the Duder Regional Park walkways and get 'all' (lol) of the Maraetai caches. Well that was a mission too far and I willingly dialled back the targets as the day progressed. As it was I managed over 20 caches and had a great day so that was awesome. Thanks to all COs for their caches.

enjoying an easy cycle ride. got to gz. found on opposite side to our direction pointer. good location still. tftc
Hoped for a quick find but alas there were so many muggles about today that it limited the amount of investigation that could be done.
Saturday afternoon and time to explore Beachlands. Had to wait for the dog walkers and a runner to move along, then a fairly quick find. All good here. TFTC
I gave the hint to Mr 7 and he raced off to search.... he soon had the cache in hand! TFTC!
Decided to come for an afternoon walk and collect some caches at the same time.Parked nearby and started our walk.Took a look on the wrong side tried the same approach on the other and it wasn’t long until we found.The magnet was very strong.
Looked for way to long to find nothing. My mate even fell in the creak looking under the bridge. First one I've ever looked for and definitely the last. What a have
No problems here - I looked one side and he looked the other and I was the lucky finder! TFTC
CO, you can remove the "needs maintenance" icon as all is well here. We read the hint, so I realised that if we started fiddling with the boats (like the last person) the bridge might actually fall down as the bolts are holding it up. The description fitted the item that we found in exactly the place the GPS was pointing to. What a lovely park.
Today I had spare time to go out and find a few caches before I had to head to the airport and home. The weather was very changeable and I had to dodge a few showers along the way. Nice one. Found the cache in the second place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.
