As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi

This needs fixing or archiving.

Yep, that looks like the remains of the container. D*mnit! I am so sick of replacing caches that have been stolen or mutilated.

Will replace asap.

Found the cache. The container was missing its lid, had the clasp broken and looked as though it had been burnt by someone/something... needless to say there was nothing inside

Went to drop in some TB's, cache was gone. Owner to check please.

Our first cache in Newzealand! We found it quickly and enjoyed the nice walk along the coast. TFTC and greetings from Germany!
(Note that there was no coin in the cache).

Remember looking for this one a while ago with no luck as it is a very busy place. Found today though with not much trouble, TFTC

Quick and easy. Dig the camo TFTC

out: skippy TB.

First cache for the day. Interesting camo. Left the aussie tb and a walrus

Fortunately not too many muggles around this afternoon. Nice view. Cache needs a new pencil and a new bag. Thanks for the cache.

Found a while ago. Nice day had. TFTC.

Found about a month ago while out with JK180.

Nice choice of colour
+ blue marble
- bubbles

Took some time, found it eventually.

found it
had me worried for a bit, but it was soon found.

the camo for the cache is very primitive, but i like it... it is most effective.

Quick find, TFTC

Wow - very easy find as it was quite exposed. I tidied it up and rehid it so hopefully it won't be muggled. Cheers Gav [2351]

Found by Stephanie with Kevin & Rob at 10:20AM during an extended stopover on my way home to Melbourne, with the rain clouds descending fast.

Simple find when you look in the right spot

I swear I looked there before, anyway was located and signed.

Found easily during de 2nd day of our honeymoon on the way back to our Hotel from Davenport, with the grat company of Toño and Marisa from Santander who didn't know about geocaching. Very nice place, almost deserted at 7:20 pm.
Time for a beer at the Davenport port after the walk to Maungauika. Greetings from Spain. No trade. TFTC.

Readily found.

Found with Mo'o after a nice day wine tasting.

Beautiful harbor views. No coin or TB inside as listed.

neat little hide that we found before the rangitoto event cache

-coin
+ card

thanks for the cache, good to strectsh the legs before the 18km or so hike around the island

found with tribe of 4, helirc and nofixedaboders

discovered this cache with my dad rick-a-mortis, heliRC & No Fixed Aboders & my best friend KAT! awesome walk.

A bit of time to spare before the ferry left to take us to the Rangitoto Events Cache so Rick-a-mortis, tribe of 4 & HeliRC.....so what does one do with spare time, go geocaching of course. A good warm up exercise leading to an excellent day out. TFTC

The harbour is completely still today. Thanks for the cache.

Nicely hidden, but easy to find. A good walking place for muggles so had to time myself when putting the cache back in its hiding place. Thanks!

I really enjoy this area & often go there on my day off.
Lovely walk, cool breeze and calm waters today.
The proximity of the park bench complicates things a but for this cache, but just adds to the brain part of it all.
Dropped off a lovely little tortoise that can continue it's journey. Picked up Georgia, the Swiss tennis shoe that wants to get to America before it's brother, Harry who might still be in Europe. Left WV pin too. TFTC

It was interesting searching with so many people around but they seemed more interested in what they were doing, which was good for us. Thanks.

I found this long ago under my previous log-in name but happened to be passing (whilst roller-blading!) so thought I'd check on it again.
Nice cache- nice views.
When muggles pass they tend to loiter...
TFTC
(And I don't recommend blading round there either!)

Good hide. Like the Camoflague NTNL

Visiting from California. Came over on the ferry to sightsee but when a rain squall forced most of the muggles to hang out under awnings I lifted my umbrella and hotfooted it to find the cache. Took the dorkfish geocoin and left Georgia TB, signed log. T4TC, my 725th found!

Another in my series of covering local caches to my workplace. Nice little run to here, which I must admit to having tried before, to no avail- quite muggle intense! No probs this time, though. TNLNSL. Cheers.

Found this nice little cache. A few muggles were about on this warm weekday morning, but not so many as to spoil the find. Added an aquatic geocoin, because it seemed appropriate!

Yes I can see why hunting at night time would be best.
Boys complaining because of the 'long' walk from the ferry, so no willing helpers to find cache. Went and looked at nearby anchor before going back and finding the local playground.

Found this one a while ago but hadn't logged it yet.

Beautiful summers day so heaps of muggles walking by. Went into stealth mode and sent junior Zorgon into hunt while I sat down and directed the search keeping a good lookout. Liked the camo around the cache. Most appropriate. Many thanks.

A perfect place for a stroll after lunch on this lovely day. The coordinates may be off just a bit, but it was easy to find. Great camo. TNLNSL. TFTC!

A very quick visit to Devonport before heading to the airport. Starting to rain to we were please ot was a pretty quick find (by Troodles) as we wouldn't have hung in there too long.

Good quick find, only the briefest of pauses as muggles passed by, fortunately the builders on the opposite building site were sufficiently obscured by the shrubs and vehicles. TNLN, TFTC.

Great cache.

Found with "The Moor we Hunt..."

TNLN TFTC

Found whilst out on a caching walk this afternoon. Had to use stealth, with people working on a boat close by. Good camouflage!. SL. TFTC.

Also logging in and out our England Geocoin.

Nice easy find. TNLN

What a great spot! Sat and watched the "Spirit" ship sail into the harbour as we filled in the log.
Uplifted the TB Virtual Wedding for a tour with Butterfly.

Quickish find after reading some of the blogs. GPS out by a smidgen. Cunning cammo!
- dice and mickey mouse + Bubbles and ball.
TFTC.

Found easily fortunately as there was a freezing cold wind. Off to the local cafe for a hot chocolate to warm up.

4.0pm. Parked the car and sat and waited for a reasonable gap in the muggle stream. An easy find. Liked the wrapping - it looks like paper rubbish caught in the scrub. The Diabetes TB did not appear to be in the cache. We left a new TB plus a whistle and bracelet.

Lovely day for a stroll by the sea

Lots and lots of muggles due to such a wonderful day sunny and windy! Found it in the end cleverly hidden.

TFTC

- butterfly stickers
+ Dr. Suess fish stickers

Interesting experience this one. Originally went down yesterday evening to pick it up but abandoned the plan when what we thought was a persistent muggle camped down on the nearby bench. Turns out it was Funkymonkey!! As we were walking away we saw him dive into the garden, so guessed he was a fellow cacher! On the basis that he was therefore not likely to be a muggle threat went back for a bit of poking around but in fading light missed the hiding place (we thought he may still have had it in his car, but I suspect we were just suffering from performance anxiety!).

Anyway, went back today and picked it up. Took the TB and left a geocoin. Many thanks for the cache, our first in New Zealand!

Quick easy find. Watched from the car as some other geocachers/maybe cache owners/weirdo muggles searched the garden right where the cache is. If they were cachers, they didnt find it, and if they were the cache owners, well, they searched a lot so they didn't know where it was.

Anyway, it wasn't hard to find. A nice little spot for a cache, although pretty busy muggle-wise.

Reading the logs it looks like "kiwicache" has the U4D TB, but they haven't been caching for a while so I guess it's gone.

In: Golf ball, Harry TB, King of hearts and 2 4c sailing ship stamps.
Out: 10 rupees

Thanks,
Chris & Vera.

Glad you found it; wasn't me you saw there. Must have been some confused cachers!

Rala could finish work some hours earlier today, so we headed off to the Northshore to get some caches there done.
Rumo rummaged around at the place the GPSr indicated, but Rala had the better instinct. When after his fruitless search Rumo looked where she pointed at, he immediately found the cache. Perhaps she had a better reception
Nevertheless, we enjoyed the great nightly skyline panorama.

Took: TB Flip or Flop
Left: Walrus

We found it easily after a visit to our friends in Devonport. Not too many muggles around as it was quite early on a Sunday morning. Thanks for the cache.

Bit of a cold windy day but still a few muggles about. Lovely spot for a walk. Quick find and off to find some more.
No trades, TFTC.

2.15pm. A quick find as there were not a lot of muggles out on a cold day.

Stealth reuired for this cache. Even though it was relatively early in the morning, the muggles kept arriving from all directions.
Just about got muggled by a fast moving muggle on a bicycle when putting it back.
TNLN
Thanks for the cache!

Found with family and friends , but never logged

Easy find after the boat workers went around the other side of their boat. Lots of boats out today.
In TB The great Kiwi chef

patience is something i am usually lacking, but needed plenty of it here today, both in retreiving the cache and putting it back.
TFTC, TNLNSL

10:10 What a great spot, pretty quiet muggle wise today. Not the most well hidden cache I found today.

Sorry to say no sign of "Shishou, China Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug". Thanks for the cache.

Swapped Diabetes TBs.
Cheers for the cache.

On the prowl with my two girls again, seem to be following in Tuftys footsteps, I think that may have been you on the park bench with your Korean student Tufty, watching us. Easy find on a beautiful sunny day, plenty of muggles about. TFTC

In- Navy tie pin, soft toy dog.

Quick find on a sunny Good Friday. Lots of people around but luckily no one spotted what we were up to.

Gave us a good walk along the Devonport seafront. Passed it on other side of road and wandered up someone's driveway!
