, nice areaSadly me and mothers eye are just terrible and couldnt find it at all. As a 14 yo I feel the need to wear glasses cause of this
Found together with my geocacher wife, team work is always better than searching solo, still could not find the cache lol, in the end message Co for help, surprised Co replied & gave more hint, still no find, suspected it might be missing, with Co permission, I always carry extra spare caches in case of emergency, this time it comes in very handy, in the end cache got replaced it.TFTC to Co, a very nice place where we sat there for our lunch later.
Found it with Ramakristan, took awhile to locate, the stream is beautiful, can sit here whole day enjoying the beauty.TFTC to Co, we love this place.
King Kid found it as we were admiring the serenity. Or just too slow to beat him to the cache
What lovely paper being used for this log. Cache in excellent condition and it's a lovely spot, much improved from when I was a kid going to scouts at the den nearby.Recommend this cache for people visiting coromandel!
What a lovely little place. Peaceful and quiet. A nice little hide but we forgot our pen so took a photo of the log. TFTC
Nice little spot by the stream. Across from the spot , there's a police station so try nut to look too suspicious. Otherwise, really awesome cache TFTC
Made the mistake of reading the incredibly clear hint, which took us directly to the Cache. Found with Entschuldigung9. TFTC
DNF, found the right spot but couldn't find for the life of me. Didn't want to search in the mud for too long
We are back in New Zealand to have the holiday we should have had 4 years ago, Covid-19 put an abrupt end to that holiday.We are in Coramandel Town with family and friends for the weekend and a spot of fishing. We had a great time out on the water and we bagged 24 Snapper.Greetings from the UK.This cache was at the end of the Ad Lab and was just a few yards from the motel where we were staying. Initially I found myself on the wrong side of the stream. Once I had realised this it was a short walk down to GZ. A short search at GZ and I had the cache in hand. Now back to the motel for some of the fish that we had caught.Log signed and cache replaced as found.Thanks to No Fixed Aboder for placing.Find 2 of 2Total finds 3676
Found after completing the lab cache. Heaps of kids playing at the playground! Thanks for hiding!
Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. Found with Fisha1288 Cheers, Cympull.
4-week family trip through NZ - Find #34!After dinner, we took a little stroll through Coromandel. This cache was a quick find thanks to a previous log 
.TFTC!
.TFTC!Given the accurate coordinates and very precise hint it seems this one has gone missing. ???? T4tC No Fixed Aboder,Civvnr&MissTreadlightly....(UK) ????Geocaching.com finds so far 11441
Was working literally upstream from this cache and as it's the only cache I have yet to find in town, I had to give it a go. So after previously logging a NM, CO messaged me immediately letting me know it's just been maintained. As I was still wandering town and had a takeaway meal, I headed back there and found the cache exactly where CO said it was - just not where the hint says. It's now hidden in a hole on the right side of the ponga stump. If hint is updated, then it's an easy find.Thanks for bringing me here.
Good coords and hint lead me to GZ, but area has been ransacked possibly by an over zealous Cacher desperate to find the missing container. Only thing I found was a vape flavour in the punga stump and and lip gloss on the bank.
2nd DNF for this cute little town. Wondering if possibly a previous newbie might be unknowingly retrieving the caches as their prize? in NZ for our 50th anniversary. Hoping to get our 10,000 find over in this beautiful country.
Schade das man in die Botanik muss. Ist schon recht zertreten hier. Trotzdem danke frs Herlocken
Looks like there has been a lot of activity around this cache. Found the spot easily enough, but maybe it has been muggled.
**17610** Free camping nearby the cache **Karaka Stream, Coromandel Town** was just across from the river nice short walk and easy find!Thanks No Fixed Aboder for contributing to the game by the placement and care of the cache. TFTC
The ladder ferns are slowly making an excellent camo..the cache was found in good condition signed the log and replaced as found thanks
The temperature is finally dropping very slightly and a wee speck of drizzle. This is a lovely spot. Thanks for the placement No Fixed Aboder
The lawn was crowded. People listened to a singer on the stage. The singer was not bad at all. I was quite surprised. If the songs would not have been themed a little bit too religous I would have stayed and listen. Thx to No Fixed Aboder for showing me this nice little town.
Out for a wander in Coromandel and decided to get back geocaching and introduce my brother. Tftc, lovely area
#694Peaceful scenery here- could hear the babbling stream in the background. This was an easy find thanks to very specific instructions . Thanks for the hide.
That was a little bit of a challenge! But its pretty much right where the hint said it was. TFTC
Together with Travelser I'm going Down Under. We are driving around with a motorhome. After 7 weeks driving around through Australia we arrived the 2th November in New Zealand. For ten days we will cross the Northern Island and than for 2 weeks the Southern Island.During our trip we of course search for several caches. Most of them brought us to very nice spots, like this one.All the CO's, and in this case No Fixed Aboder, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.
After traveling around Australia with Oopie for 7 weeks, we have now been traveling with the camper in New Zealand for 4 weeks. Along the way we will of course also visit various types of caches in beautiful places, including this one. Thanks CO for creating and laying this cache.
#5.772Chose the wrong pavement square first before rereading the hint and then quickly realizing the mistake and finding the cache.TFTC says team mastba from Hamburg/Germany
This was my last one here for the day. Glad to been able to get in walks and geocaching in before the rain comes. Pretty windy but enjoyable day. Not many green spots left here but will leave them for another adventure. Thanks for all your caches I have done today.
While a short stop in this beautiful town could I found this one too!TFTC Greetings, Schnitti
TFTCFound with Missy1803.We are Aussies on holidays...that might explain why I wrote the wrong date on the log.All was in good condition at this one, and our first NZ cache!!
1:05PM Quick grab. Made it across the stream with dry feet!TNLNSL TFTC Cheers M+S [:0)] 2915
Einmal um die ganze Welt,...Auf unserer Fahrt nach Auckland sind wir hier durch gekommen, haben pause gemacht und dabei noch den einen oder anderen Cache gefunden.TFTC Liebe Gre GM70 Unterwegs mit meinem Gatten Baumi_B
### Around the world in 85 days - Step 8 - New Zealand ###My wife GM70 and I are traveling around the world enjoying beautiful places in many countries.This was a quick find. After having seen so many beautiful murals in Coromandel Town it was a surprise to see a Grafitti below the bridge. The cache itself was right where it is described in the hint.TFTCAll the best from AustriaBaumi_Bon the road with my wife GM70
