Paradise Lost (Auckland) Pinehill, North Island, New Zealand
By TheWonderStuff on 15-Aug-07. Waypoint GC13DTY

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 the last reviewer note.

Hi TheWonderStuff

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer notes, there has been no owner maintenance . The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Lots of roadworks in this area over the past year, suspect cache is gone.

Hoping to sort it soon

Getting there - sorry

I’ll get there and sort it

Cache location is a green powerbox, not allowed any longer as a hiding place. Needs moving somewhere else, and it's not there anyway.

Another DNF needs a check please

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

GZ in open but no container to be found.
Thanks anyway.

Wasn't able to locate!

Wasn't able to locate. Searched quite thoroughly

The grass had been trampled on right by the cache with gave its location away so it was a very quick find.

A bit of a live one but not dangerous. Found it easily because the grass around it had been disturbed. The view has changed a bit since the photos were taken.

We found it!

First day for level one COVID-19 as well as school holidays and the shops were super busy - as were the carparks. Nice warm day for a walk around the outside of the mall, while most of the muggles are inside the mall. GZ has changed a lot over the years, and there is evidence of work being done very close to gz. As we approached, we spotted the hint item and soon after had the cache in hand.

All good here, the cache is accessible. The landscape is already different from the photos on the cache page. I can see that other cachers have been looking (or at least have attempted to look) inside some HV boxes. No need to open anything here. TFTC

Cache now in centre of Road works so cannot enter

Cache now in centre of roadworks

Nice find. Scratched in the wrong spot first.

Had some spare time to fill in between my appointments and waiting for GAR to finish at his meeting so caching is what comes to mind, right? This was my second stop and a fairly quick find. This area is changing so much all the time and a lot under construction. Thanks for the hide near enough for me to walk to TheWonderStuff!

Quickly found the right spot thanks to the hint. TFTC

Quickly found the right spot thanks to the hint. TFTC

Interesting views, still seeing so much change in Albany. Thanks!

Pictures are great although many changes still happening. Nice cache. Thanks

Needs a small pencil

Photos didn't line up as fence missing and didn't wanna touch the high powered electrical boxes

Out on an impromptu geocache hunt, forgot my pen! TFTC

Was an easy find after finding a parking spot.

So many buses not enough carparks

New container - already to go.

I’m getting this replaced - please don’t archive yet

Need to replace

Gone Burger

I shall add my DNF to the list.

Not there

No luck today :/

had a look everywhere but was not there

Very busy spot. Looked very sucpicious. Couldn't find on detailed inspection so we gave up. Lots of work going on in this area so wondered if it'd been removed.

Nice easy find while clairemcsk was on look out.

Quick easy find in a very busy spot!

Found at night time after going to the movies, TFTC

After a day of caching around albany it was time to get the bus back to the city but not without one last find.As we approched the gz we had a good idea were this could be and turns out we were right.Quite a successful day for us.

Powerful fresh breath. Thanks for the cache.

Saw something of interest as I approached GZ and managed to take cover for the find. Love the green logsheet...even if unintended I saw the humour in that. TFTC

I'm off to see the new Star Wars film nearby, so left home a little early to take in the view (and this cache). Thanks!

We love these types of caches, similar to one we've made before. Albany is changing so much, certainly a busy corner. TFTC

Had to come to Auckland for the day and since we arrived earlier than expected we thought we could do some of the closer caches. TFTC

Great place to hide it, had fun looking for it

Thanks for the quick find

Easy find. Did not have a pen handy to sign log

Nice easy find on the way to work! Tftc

Tftc! Was found during a trip in Albany.

Nice quick find today - in good condition. TFTC.

A quick visual spotted the cache location. Cache is surprisingly dry. TFTC.

A nice quick find while I was in the area. These features usually scare me but this cache was tucked away nicely where I didn't have to stick any fingers

On a quick visit to Auckland today for shopping (her) and caching (me).... ) A nice walk up the hill to a view being obscured by dark rain clouds. After waiting for some passing muggles, the cache was found just where it ought to be.

Signed log and replaced. TFTC

Found after a game of football near by. No developments in devonport so we have to travel up here to play our home games

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

Waiting for contractors to show up to get some site work done! Quick grab right up the hill:)

Quick pick up here today , nice easy find for young geocachers.

#143. Nice easy find. TFTC.

A nice easy find this morning, all in good order, TFTC.

Master Wyatt found it, before I even had a chance to search the area.

Thanks for the Cache - first find in NZ!

Sun was actually shining at GZ, althought the wind was howling. Nice quick find, all good. TFTC.

A quick find before dinner tftc

The friend I was staying with had to go work for a couple hours tonight, so I decided to run some errands, and find a couple caches - taking her to work, and dropping her off - at least then we could spend more time catching up on life!!

Nice and quick find here. Noone about, made for a quick grab!!

Consec caching day # 1317

TFTC!!

Cool cache. Was looking for something more mircro but must have been replaced

Looked around for a bit and was about to give up, when I saw it. Lots of cars driving by so had to feign talking on my phone. ;D

I was out today for dinner and a movie, with my other half. Tapas and X-Men, not a bad evening at all. We had some time to spare between the meal and the film, so a little exercise seemed in order, grabbing a cache seemed like the best excuse. With the weather, just about, holding back from a down poor we headed over to GZ, where I almost immediately had the cache in hand. Log signed and replaced, everything still in good condition. Thanks for the bit of information on the area and of course TFTC #552

Got a wee bit excited to find an empty log....but then realised that hundreds have found this one already, its just a new log. But its still another smilie eh? TFTC

Replaced with a eclipse tin . Couldn't find the old flat cache

This area has changed alright, it will keep changing, this huge open field will no doubt be home to more commercial buildings, as if we need more!

Is it somewhere deep in the bush?

Sadly this GC log is looking a little worn and unreadable, replaced in the same spot I found it

Looked for this one a couple of times on the way to the bus station. However had a really good look tonight and finally found it.
Unfortunately the log is a little weathered, and in need of maintenance.

Spent some time looking for this cache but couldn't find it. Is this one still active? Area seems to have changed somewhat.

Easy find while trying to look inconspicuous.

Forgot my pen . Great cache. Well maintained.

Found but needs a new log book. Tftc

TFTC. Needs maintenance and new log book though. Signed on a peeling corner. Great cache concept.

Needs maintenance

Quick find for us at dusk, as per other logs there was no room for signing hence the photo evidence of find. Thanks for the late night walk, 1000th cache for this calendar year, Yay! TFTC

Interesting cache concept. Log book full

Log needs replacing

Easy find. Log needs replacing

No room for signing the log. Nice idea though.

Not a lot of change in the view yet. TFTC

I really liked this one. Its the first like it that I have seen. Thank you.

Dem dem dem... Another one bites the dust.

Find #505. Thanks for the cache. 6/06/2014 13:51

Found after an inspection of GZ with alpenmilch80. Nicely hidden. Thanks!

Quick find during the dark hours. TFTC

Oh my god! Brilliant hiding place! We almost gave up.

Bit of a hunt but finally found it

A five minute hunt and a little luck and cache was in hand...tftc

Nice view. Tftc.

nice quick cache in albany

We looked all over the place but couldn't find this one. Our first fail.
