No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Cache is long gone...needs archived.

Needs checking by CO.

Probably gone, and looks like abandoned.

Hi, is this one still active?

Looked everywhere but couldn't find it. Looks like it hasn't been found in a long time. Starjammer/two guys and a girl - could you please check that it is still there?

Couldn't find this one. Did see a space where looked to be one once.

Hmmm. Found a 400ml sized space but could have been in the wrong place. Ah well, will try again.

Found it at 11:32, our 2nd of 9 finds today, and our 668th total find.

Sent to boys to hunt this one down

TFTC Starjammer!

Very interesting location. Easy find. Safe parking "nearby" people!!!

TFTC

A great position for sitting and watching for a break in the traffic, this didn't look likely but the cache was sheltered from prying eyes.
Thanks

Had a good search for this one undisturbed.

Short search to locate cache. Good area. SL TFTC

A little bit of illegal parking involved - fortunately a quick find!

Found this in the dark TFTC

Quick easy find

easy find TNLN

easy find like the tree hut near there

Been meaning to get this one for a little while but was never in the area long enough. Quick and easy find. TFTC!

Suffered my first geocaching today. Look out for splinters on the logs in this location!
TNLNSL. TFTC.

nice one cheers

Left the car some distance away, and walked to the cache site. A lot for us than trying to negotiate the motorways etc An easy find and a good spot to sit and watch the traffic roaring down the motorway. TFTC

2nd time lucky for this us for this cache. TFTC

Muggled by a mutt today,a very vocal foxie came roaring across the road and drew attention to me. I recommend accessing the embankment from the top of the street. Not sure why I didn't find the cache on my previous visit, but a quick find today. -geocoin. TFTC

easy find, Nice spot swings and very tidy the neighbor hood must have done the tidying looks good lovely street,very busy motor way, got muggled by a nosey old man chopping down little pieces of gorse which is good, he didnt speak but was watching while he was sitting on a seat.Put in World Ploughing Geocoin

2961. Herein lies a mystery - we searched this area for a long time last October, and nothing! But today - there it was - in place and with the original log intact. So, we a shrug and a smile, we signed the log and left.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Noticed the neighbours have a roadside 'patio' here. Don't know if this is a recent development or not. Got a nice photo of Bridge and ramps to post up, anyway.

Nice area to discover today. Really liked the subtle camo. TFTC.

Had us "stumped" for a little while then we decided to enjoy the view! Left a little purple purse and Umilik's Mosaic Gecko GC.

Found after a bit of looking! Didnt really know this place was accessable! TFTC. TNLN.

Was being spied by the oldies across the road. But managed to make a fairly quite find whilst Pohutukawa distracted them. Cheers Gav [3746]

Found this one whilst caching with Moneydork and Rediguana.

A nice spot. TFTC

An easy find, with the GPS being "spot on".

+ Jewellery bag
- Polished stone

Found by McAdies on our holiday around the South Island.
Nice easy find, Thanks! Dodged a couple of council gardeners mowing the grass.

Almost went past this one on the Motorway but pulled in at the last moment. Could have watched myself pull in if that seat had been a bit better! Thanks two guys and a girl for an excuse to stop.

This is my first one in a while. Found it with a friend it was a nice easy find. Took the tb TFTC

My log reads 24/02. It wasactually the 25th I was there. Neat little area. TFTC. + T.B, -hole punch.

I like this spot. Nice cache, TY. However I ended up at Tairei (sp) Mouth and missed a couple of planned caches. Nice day for a drive.

No probs, long time between drinks.

TFTC

The state Highway was busy. Lucky no one around to see me.

Great spot. Cache was easily spotted and looks like some muggle entries in the logbook but all nice and secure despite that. Tried to hide a little bit better with some dried grass as camo on top.

Reserve area itself looks well tended and appears to be looked after by the street residents with all sorts of interesting furniture and items placed around. But horrible smell, maybe it's their local compost bin as well.

Thanks for the visit.

We were close by so spent some time searching but didn't find anything. There has been a lot of weed eating done recently and the area is quite clear.

Fitted in perfectly with finding a waypoint for "Ghost Railway". Nice excuse for walking over the overbridge.

Nice easy find TFTC TNLN

Easy find with mollymop but forgot to write in the log book next time passing will. TFTC

This was our first geocache find , nice short walk from home. The two boys (4 and 7) really enjoyed hunting for it, and finding "treasure".
Took a couple of marbles and left a small item,. TFTC

Not sure what the proper appoach is TFTC

Balanced ourselves on the seat to fill in the log.. a well coordinated effort to stand again... and we were off. Played on the swings before leaving, much to amusement of a friend we'd bought along TFTC

It has been the closest unfound cache to our house for too long! Good to get it out of the way. TFTC!

Nice views of the motorway and traffic. There was even a place to sit here once. Too bad the seat is broken. TFTC.

A great cache! Lovely to sit down on a bench of somewhat dubious quality and watch the sun start to set.
TNLN

Cheers,
Docmarty

Lovely find with a neat friend new to caching. TFTC

Went to the wrong side of the fence to start with but was quickly found when read the page properly. TFTC.

Number 5 tonight, TFTC. Nice wee spot and picked a time when it wasn't so busy on the road.

Felt very watched as I was doing this one - but cache was easy to find - perhaps too easy - I covered in with grass as it was in plain view. Perhaps those that live behind the cache already know about it.

[Find #308]

Wow what a neat wee walking track and cache site, rather nice to sit on the bench and watch the sunset, enjoyed the sights and smells on such a lovely warm evening, thanks.

Clever hide, lovely place to sit in the sun - the rest of the world goes past very fast.
TNLN, TinkyWinky

Co-ordinates took us exactly to the spot. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Interesting place, quick find.
Took Idaho pin and cow magnet, left mini scissors and holepunch.

This cache brings back memories, we all used to come out her quite often during the motorway construction to watch the big machinery and if I remember right we often stood very close to the caches position. One of the things that still fascinates me is the hidden underground bridge. The â€Ghost Railway – Walton Park†cache refers to the many coalmines that used to be in this area and where the motorway passes under the Old Brighton Rd bridge it also passes over a bridge completely hidden underground. This bridge was built over an old coalmine too prevent the road collapsing into it.
Thanks for the cache and the memories.

Found at night. TNLN, TFTC.

[i found this one] under the seat which was verey suspicious.

Not hard to find but I am sure people driving by wondered what we were up to TFTC

Awesome wee spot to sit and watch life go by. Gave the lady across the road a wave. Got the coin - first one we have found so will look into what to do with it now.
- NZ Fern Geo Coin, Jumping Bean and a Key ring torch.
+ Singing Smurf

Close to home and easy to find:)
Thanks for the cache

YAPIDKA. Easy find on my way to the airport.

Swapped keyring torch (ex Da'an Forest, Taipei) for Australian keyring.

Dropped GSV GPS NZ Geocoin.

Bagged this one at twilight while woman across the road who watches was sitting down eating dinner. Nice easy find. Nil swaps. TFTC.

What a great use of the area and an interesting little garden and seats etc. Quick find. Took Team Fish Eagle GeoCoin. Left water pistol. TFTC

Nice spot. Very warm morning, with the hint object giving some extra shelter. + Geocoin (fish eagle)

Interesting spot so exposed. TFTC TNLN

Quick find although had this feeling you were being watched as you approached the cache ,cache was bit exposed so hid it a bit better

My first find. Not to hard but the lady over the road likes to watch what you are doing. Left a Key chain and moving the travel bug on.

A quick find. No point trying to hide from cars racing past at 100kph.
Took West Chester TB and Geocoin, LNSL. TFTC.

Nice find after a short detour from the business of the day in Green Island. Thanks.

No porkys required today as GSV and I stealthed over the hill top to find the cache. Nice sunny day and boy it was A touch difficult coming back to the chocolate lock up.

Dropped off two t.bs.

Lunchtime dash with The Bohemian. It was quiet, too quiet ... well that is if you ignore all the traffic! Nice views on a sunny day today. TFTC!

Cheers,
G.

Second go, used new cords, walked up to spot and there it was.
TFTC,+Unite Diabetes travel bug.

Found with Ridders76. TNLN TFTC

Walked past it and we spent a wee while looking and almost got muggled as an old guy came over and asked what we were doing on out way back to the car. Wasn't too worried about being seen from road as people were zooming along. Nice spot.

After finding the cache told pork pies to a nosy old man about what we where up to. Fairfeild is very differnt these days with the new high way. TNLN.

Found using the old co-ords (I've just seen the new ones and they look better). Nice spot to watch the traffic go by. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache.

Found in the end, once i remembered, that it was 15m out, plus cache had water in it, you might what to change the container to a snap-lock for better water proofing.

Grabbed the TB.

I have spent a lot of time at the yard close by with the Bitumen Sprayer.

Many Thanks Bitsrayer

Need to dry out cache, and check coordinates

2nd to find. GPS 16m out for us.

FTF. Felt a little exposed here! Should have worn my hi-vis vest and no-one would have taken a blind bit of notice of me. As an earthmoving machinery buff since a small boy (and some people never grow up) I spent a bit of time "trainspotting" in this area when the works were occurring. The job was completed very quickly (given the scale of the project). It was actually all built in a fraction of the time it took the "authorities" to plan, consult, obtain consents and generally faff about over it. An article on the old Ruston Bucyrus shovel on display nearby (visible from the cache) has featured in a British magazine called Classic Plant and Machinery. My GPSr was indicating 17m to GZ at the cache site. Using the hint helped. Just followed along the hint "item" until the cache appeared. Unfortunately the logbook is a little damp. TFTC.

Ah I was probably on the right route (I have just read the hint and it makes sense), but didn't think it was right (and so I gave up) as the distance didn't make any sense. I will be back !

"Antequera Spain" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug added to cache
