Freds Repose (Auckland) Hillsborough, North Island, New Zealand

As this cache has been out of action for too long and the non-active cache owner has not performed any maintenance, 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 un-archive it.

Will try to re-install cache in the near future.

We only had a quick look around, but regardless, no such luck. We did however find a pencil that looked like it could have once belonged to a cacher or inside a cache container!

After finding another cache nearby, decided to give this a go. Searched for about 15 mins before giving up. Strange how we struggle with the easier difficulty caches. Another reserve I have never been to.

TFTC, great find!

Great little find

Nice hiding place

Quick detour on the way home while out visiting. Interesting small park. TFTC

nice wee park hidden away here. quick find today thanks.

First time, nice to try and explore a new spot but couldnt find the cache, will try some others

Found this one pretty easily. GPS was at first pointing me towards the other side, so I looked there. It settled, and yay, other side, the one that seemed likely!

Sure enough, cache was there, and quickly spotted too. You just need to have a really good poke around ae, as it is pretty well hidden!
Dropped off a TB.

TFTC!!

A simple but very effective hide. Really liked this one. TFTC.

found on this date as part of kiwimonster

Enjoyed this cache which we found en route to the airport. Thanks.

Second visit to this spot with an additional set of eyes, success at last. TFTC

Amazing just how many not-well known little parks and reserves exist in the Auckland area!
Another [Fred. St Reserve] to go on open source maps and another cache found

MTFTC

Found after a brief search.

Obvious spot but nicely hidden. TFTC.

No luck with this one had a good poke around but no luck.

Wow! I would have never have known that there was a small park hidden here. This is one of the cool things about geocaching is that it can take you places that you would never typically go to. Anyway this was a quick and easy find with the camo blending in nicely. TFTC.

I love these hidden neighbourhood parks. I think without the cache here, I would never have noticed this parklet. Thanks for pointing it out and for the cache!

Found it after exploring the environs including an old tyre.
Swapped the dinosaur.
TFTC.

Wow! What a delightful little reserve. My 2 year old grandson loved to climb and explore in the nearby trees. Very pleasant.

Nice quick find. Shame i smashed the cell phone about 50m down the road from this one.

Good to be able to get this one as it completes my alphabet for the A-Z challenge down in the Kapiti Coast. TFTC

Nice simple cache. Thanks

Easy to find, quick log. TFTC and greetings from Germany
OUT: Coin

Secluded park. Found GC and left travel bug. TFTC

Easy find, TFTC

11.10am. Managed to find a park very close to the cache.
Made a quick dash and grab, cache was soon in hand.
Funny these small pieces of bush that don't seem well maintained by the council, could service the locals a lot better than they do.

Cheers M+S [:O)] (2035)

My third and final cache find for the day, way away from home...I must get out more!!! TNLNSL, TFTC

Number 4 today for the girls and I. Nice spot to visit. Thanks

Quick find here in a little reserve we would have never knew existed had it not been for a cache. Cache was slightly exposed so covered it up better with some natural camo before leaving. TFTC!

Easy find in an out-of-the-way reserve, that I never knew existed. Dropped a trackable. TFTC.

A nice easy find with a lovely walk along the harbour front nearby.TFTC

Quiet spot that would be easy to miss, Thanks for bringing me here, TFTC

First cache for a while since getting back to NZ... Just around the corner from my temporary accommodation... Nice easy find

- fish
+ foreign coin, ninja TB

TFTC

Had a very cute dinosaur (: TFTC!

Thanks, a great find!! Nice and dry kids had a blast finding it.

Thanks

A drive by cache on the way to some other caches around the area - the hardest part was locating the tiny, blink and you miss it reserve, with in car navigation sometimes being the Kiwifruits achilles heal. The "cache whisperer" was 2 for 2 at this point in the day and I am beginning to think my role is photographer and logger.

TFTC

(# 34)

A quick find. Drove straight past the reserve without noticing it.

Placed cache back in position with new log book and all dried out.

Removed cache to clean it up and dry out log book. Will replace tomorrow.

The cache was open and the logbook was wet then I found the box!

Very easy to find!
TFTC

Greets from a german geocacher

Nice and easy =] Definitely could do with a less soaked log book. TFTC!

Easy find, log book soaked though.

TFTC

No trouble with the parking, just a little muddy. Quickly spotted the likely spot and the cache was soon in hand. Logbook was wet, though I could still sign it. Looks like the area has been pruned extensively. Good to see the cache survived. Cheers for the smiley!

The only problem here was deciding where to park the car.

+ a marble, - nothing.

A quick find. Log book is rather soggy.
TFTC

Super fast find while passing through. Took TB. TFTC.

GPS kept sending me to different copses of trees, but I should have just trusted my instincts and the search would have been a bit faster. Great spot for a cache and my daughter and I enjoyed it! We took a little page of stickers and left a glass marbled bead (for lack of a better description). TFTC and on to the next!

Coords a bit off for this one but found it in the end. Drop TB. TFTC.

An easy cache to find with a muggle relative. The apples on the tree nearby were tasty too. I covered the cache up a bit as it was showing when I got there.

Went to the wrong tree to start with but got there in the end.
TFTC.
Find #38

GPS location was dead on, but based on comments here I didn't trust it.

Took smiley face magnet, peg, butterfly.

Added green fish, dinosaur charm, now White figurine

found me a lovely black feather too tftc

Found with a friend

Thanks Uncle Brian. A nice straight forward find in an area I have previously explored.

Dropped a friend to the airport this morning and had some time before work, let's do a cache - no one around early in the morning. A quick find, the GPS was spot on for me.
TNLNSL TFTC

Quick and easy find, GPS was playing with us a wee bit.. TFTC

Initially started looking in the wrong area as the gps was playing tricks on us, but found it eventually. TFTC

Nice quick find today. SL TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Quick find once I started to look where it might be hidden rather than where my GPS was saying it should be.

nice and quick find while out with snakelion, had dropped by last week but got wet and gave up before the rain got worse - much more enjoyable in the sun. TFTC

An easy find with evilno9. Nice way to enjoy the spring sun, while hunting for this little treasure.

TFTC

Quick find on way to CITO event. Picked up coin. TFTC

Found while in town for a training course.

superquick find after the CITO event. took tinkerbelle TB TFTC

I was in the neighborhood before a CITO event. Thanks for the cache.

Finally got back to this one after driving passed a couple of times. Interesting little spot. Did some swaps - took small dice and xmas decoration, left butterfly and smiley - and managed to squeeze in a couple of TBs from Hamilton gardens last weekend. TFTC

Took a while to find this one TFTC

maro!

Our first cache find for the day on Queen's birthday long weekend. Nice wee spot in a nice week hide. TFTC.

Nice spot. TFTC.

Ooops, briefly mistook next door garden for reserve - a wee hidden gem! Lovely to be out for an afternoon's caching with the 'team' and KnK had this in hand nicely. TFTC!

Who would of thought a reserve was hidden away in there. Thanks for brining us here. Thanks for the adventure! TFTC.

Nice stop in a bird filled neighbourhood park.

KnK made the find. Thanx for the stop.

Sorry for delay in logging! Life gets in the way of my caching sometimes.

Nice quick find while working in area

Wow! Big Cacher says he walked past this reserve every day when at High School 30 years ago and never saw it once! TFTC

Nice easy find. TNLN TFTC

Nice spot. Well done.

unusual spot with clue that didnt relate to much but after a bit of a hunt around it was found by dad.

An easy find - for my wife, that is. She made sense of the clue while I was still staring at the undergrowth!

Lovely day for a spot of local caching. Found it with Gillibeans.

Nice quick find here. TFTC

+ Meeple

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 957. Thanks.

Quick and easy drive-by find while I was supposed to be working. Thanks.

Good easy find finally! GPS was all over the place...
Nice park
Thanks!

3rd time lucky Yeppy Man I am loving this great way to get fit.

Nice wee researve....took GC...TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Quick stop on the lovely hills. I let mum and the kids find this one and Zachary 5 came up with the find.

Dropped of a coin.

TFTC

Nice reserve nearby to where we are staying on a brief visit to Auckland. Quick, easy find - Co-ordinates spot on. TNLNSL TFTC!

Another nice easy cache while visiting this part of town. TFTC

Nice Quick Find. TNLNSL (Logbook a bit damp)
