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.

Poor seat

Seat has been demolished with the tree felling, oak tree logs and branches over whole area. See photo

Due to a tree falling over I have disabled the cache until I can visit and replace/ find a new location.

30/11/22
Oak tree has come down.
Location of cache has been affected.

Busy morning with a walk along the river...followed by cow hunting!

Got back to the car which we had left in Oak Street ; and drove the short distance here and the cute cache was duly located.

Thanks !

A quick park and grab here with Supernannny after visiting some of the many cows in Morrinsville. This cache was not quite what we expected, but once we spied it we knew it had to be the cache! No time to stop and explore the Murray Oaks Scenic Reserve has we had caches to find before the forecasted rain arrived. TFTC

Found this one on a trip to Morrinsville and it has been awhile. Too early for muggles so I had the area to myself. Took a few looks and then there it was TFTC

Last find on our way out of Morrinsville, it has been a successful impromptu caching trip.
Nice quick find here, found just in time as a few dog walkers were just arriving nearby.

Sorry no pen but 13/11/22

Found it

Awesome first find!

Nice one, TFTC

A nicely hidden cache. TFTC

The muggle who came for a ride found this one!

Could not find, sure someone has taken it.

Easy Very Cool container

Managed to grab it first try. All good.

Found by Blenheim Bear on a wee day out looking for a cache in international caching day, new to this area and it too my three try’s to find a cache, maybe they are just harder in this area. This one gets a fav, nice constructed cache. Thanks for the cache all good today. Blenheim Bear

Love these ones.

Did not find which was a bummer because I’m sure someone has taken the whole container

We headed out to do a spot of caching around Morrinsville this morning. After a pleasant wander aroung the town's cows we made our way out to Murray Oaks Scenic Reserve. The seat was a bit too damp to want to sit on, but looking underneath quickly revealed the cache. Thanks.

Found it!

Found it

We stopped here for a break..how convenient a geocache was close bya quick seach soon revealed the tidy camothe log was signed and cache replaced as found .any thanks for the hide

A convenient place to stop for lunch on our short caching tiki tour. Had to wait for muggles to leave but all ok. Thanks for the placement

Easy

Found it

Found it

Quick easy find on drive with the car club. Remember the last cache here a while ago. TFTC

Second finder today! Puppy enjoyed it to

Found it,
Good hiding spot

Driven past here so many times before, but nice to finally be able to stop today on our hunt. Eventually spotted what could be the cache. Really cool. TFtC

Driven past here millions of time so had an idea where the cache might be. Round & round then saw something that sort of fitted but not really. Cool cache. Tftc

Very cool....

Found whilst out with keylev, cragger and NZIceman.

Thanks for the cache.

Found whilst out with keylev, laval and NZIceman.

Thanks for the cache.

Day one of our family holiday and had picked out a few specific caches to collect along the way as I’m heading for a big milestone one.

Super quick find - have seen one of these before.

Thanks for the cache. Found with NZIceman, cragger and laval.

On a mid week ride in the area. Easy find thanks. Tftc

A perfect place for lunch and to find a cache also. We have been to this reserve before for a cache. TFTC.

On our way to Te Aroha for the morning and stopped to sort this one on the way past. After signing the log we followed the Mustang GT car club all the way to Te Aroha. Great to finalise some close to home caches. All good here, TFTC!

We (ABCDF4 eyespyben and myself) had decided that after the event in Hamilton to do a loop and complete the new Adventure Lab cache at Matamata. A stop on the way home so I could grab this one. Thank you for the placement.

Quick find here today. Was very windy with few muggles about. Great cache container and so nice to see a cache here! Not as much rubbish as usual lol. It must of blown away. TFTC!

A convenient place to have a bit of lunch and grab a quick cache.
Thanks for putting this here for us to find

(# 7099) A flying visit up north by flying into Hamilton and then hitting the road up to the Coromandel primarily to get some geotour caches. A quick find on my drive. Thanks for bringing me here.

Good quick find to start the day. Thanks

Heading south to Matamata a quick side detour to the Oaks.

Quick stop here while in the area, a couple of muggles about but they were far enough away to still be able to search. Needed to check a few places before it was found. Thanks for the hide.

I get to Morrinsville two or three times a year and have done most of the caches in the area. It’s good to see a new one in this reserve. One of the first ones I ever found, around nine years ago, was situated very close to this new one. It was a quick find today. #4719. TFTC.

2.45pm. Had to wait a few minutes until a couple finished their cup of tea and then it was a quick find.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Returning to Hamilton so a quick stop in the shade tftc

I’m supposed to be attending an event in Huntly right about now. I’m so late, my warped logic has me around Morrinseville. I’ve only strayed off course by a few kilometres…

Lots of through traffic, so it was handy to drive right in and park alongside ground zone. This should have been a straight forward hide, but I’m feeling a little bit rusty. Thanks parrydise & tonisch13 and TFTC.

Failed to find it in the quickly disappearing light

Saw this published a few weeks ago but only managed to have time to grab today (we go to morrinsville frequently) was really windy from the cyclone that has just passed nz (providing high wind warnings to the north island).

Thanks for the find! I had always thought a cache was needed here too! Pic only shows a small amount of debris we saw from the trees.

Pulled in for a quick find, thanks to the hint.
Signed the log and replaced as found
TYFTC

Missed on the initial quick check but picked up quickly with a more thorough search. Not many cases s around today. Thanks for the placement.

Heading over this way to meet family
Nice hide stop to eat the Big Doughnut
Thanks

Nice easy find thanks

slight detour to collect this cache.
able to park right beside this one.......tftc.

Quick stop on the way home so I thought, I should have looked at coordinates instead of winging it. As there were muggles close by I spent a lot of time in stealth mode only to give up and then realise I was at the wrong place. Lol Once I was at the right location the cache was quickly at hand. Lots of traffic passes this spot make sure your quick. TFTC

Going to my cousins place for a swim on this hot, sunny afternoon and decided to stop off on the way to grab this recently placed cache. Had no trouble with the find and liked the cache container. TFTC

Published

FTF! Been quite a while since we had first to find, just happened to be driving past at the perfect time! Tftc, last time we did a cache here there was a very dead possum next to it, so quite pleased to not repeat that experience

Well there we have it second. All good. Red light again from tonight. Great to have found this cache. Thanks CO for placing it

Nice cache. Did on the way to work

I saw this new cache on my emails this afternoon but there were already two finders. Bit of a shame to miss out on a local FTF! There was originally another cache here when I began geocaching but it was archived so it’s great to have another one here. Jumped on my bike to go and pick it up, TFTC
