On a quiet morning Old Boots and I went all round the box looking high and low even getting down on hands and knees. No sign of a cache did we see. The lenghts of timber we left mostly in desturbed as wet and yucky. Hope it is still there but not for us today.

Nice hide.TFTC
 
22-Feb-10
Had a thorough look around but no luck. I see this one was found only yesterday, so it could be that I just missed something obvious. It seems the restaurant has closed now - the signage has also been removed.

I stopped by this cache last night to show some friends their first cache. However in the dark I didn't spot the cache on the far side, abit disappointing for their first cache. I returned this morning and could see it today. I returned it to where it should be.
 
26-Jan-09
It looked like the container may have been blown by the wind from one side of the object to the other. We were able to reach it however. TFTC
 
10-Jan-09
Took a bit longer than I should to find this one as I was looking for a smaller (more common “Hexy†size) cache container. ThanksSmile
 
05-Jan-09
Thanks for the cache.

Nice little place which I pass by at least weekly.

While looking for the cache I spied a white thing bobbing in the water at the end of a near by boat ramp. Turned out to be a van which was well submerged.

Umm, the listed co-ordinates for the cache should have been changed when the cache was moved. As it currently stands the cache is not at the listed co-ordinates. Please modify the listed co-ordinates to the actual cache location. Cheers Gav
 
26-Oct-08
Found it fairly easily after I'd wasted a few minutes searching at the listed co-ordinates only to find that the cache wasn't there. Not all of read the cache pages when turning up at a traditional cache. Cheers Gav [2646]
 
26-Oct-08
Did this one with Moneydork.
 
26-Oct-08
I suggest contacting a reviewer and asking that they move the co-ordinates for you.

Finally figured out what those wee flags are on this GPS - extra waypoints Smile TFTC

Dunedin, this spot in particular, must be windiest place ever today.
 
30-Sep-08
2237. This was an interesting place to bring us to that we would never have known about. There was a dark storm brewing as we walked away from the cache, that looked very ominous but thankfully it didn't come to anything and the day continued to be OK.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney
 
22-Sep-08
Searched in the old coords before realizing mistake, still took a bit to get the hands on.
 
22-Aug-08
looked under, next to,and on top but no joy,will try again
 
15-Aug-08
i was waiting for a muggle to leave.Then i found it.
 
21-Jun-08
Second time lucky! Much easier in broad daylight than in the dark last time we tried. TFTC
 
Took two visits - the first to claim a super bean and leave a Chinese puzzle, the second to return with a writing stick to sign the book! Was going to donate the pencil from my car, but wouldn't ya know, it's disappeared again... TFTC
 
25-Apr-08
Our 3rd cache of the day. Being Anzac day, it was very quiet here with no muggles about at all, so managed to get to the cache without too much trouble. TFTC.
 
19-Apr-08
Not sure if we picked the right time (9:00pm-ish). Not many muggles but looking around such a facility in the dark with a torch perhaps looks a bit suss. Couldn't find it but will return in daylight for another look.
 
14-Apr-08
Didn't want to go near it at first for fear of helicopters. didn't see the geocoin?
 
02-Apr-08
The hint helped. Night-time was a good time to go. TFTC
 
02-Apr-08
Scrambled around on the ground for a bit, untill... presto! There is was. Cheers
 
25-Mar-08
Glad to get this off the list, last time I looked it was missing, no one about today.

Thanks Bitsprayer
 
25-Mar-08
Went to the listed coordinates and could not find it so read the listing properly and found it quickly. TFTC.
 
23-Mar-08
Late Sunday afternoon visit and not a muggle in sight, great!
Much easier to find these ones without mugglephobia I feel.
No swaps, TFTC
 
15-Mar-08
Well, H is for High Tide, and Hexy, and Helicopter.... Very accurate coordinates and an easy find. Well under. Cheers and T4TC. Left letters as some others did not have any left.
 
23-Feb-08
Did not locate this hide and we searched fairly far and wide at new coords. We were totally at the correct place.
 
13-Feb-08
H's abound in this cache, and we're doing the whole alphabet so thanks Hexy. This one for the boy, good looking on his behalf.
 
10-Feb-08
found it. took a bit of poking and prodding but got it in the end.

Caching afternoon with nephew and introducing overseas cousin. Muggles leaving the mentioned location caused us some caution.

Nice and quiet at this time of year, no activity in the shops and the restaurant was closed. Picked up "All Black Teddy". Added a (needed) pencil sharpener. +cake gnome, -tin. TFTC.

26-Nov-07
Easy find - cache a little exposed but tucked back in a little better.

Took U4D TB - other TB's/coins are not there.

Ww were in exactly the right place, but thought the cache was just another bit of rubbish at first glance. Checked clue, then looked again. Went back later with gloves and several rubbish bags and cleaned up area. Years of rubbish caught under dead grass along the fence. Looks as though the area gets the "DCC contractor" treatment- the contractor is only paid to weedspray, so don't expect them to lose money by picking up rubbish as well. Could future people take a bag and take a few minutes to collect whatever new rubbish has been blown into the area?

Well, I got caught. I found it without too much difficulty, wrote in the logbook, put it back and in walking back around the container, I bumped into a muggle who demanded to know what I was doing. He works in the building across the street and had seen plenty of people doing the same as I had, so he was just curious.
