Good spot. Tried enlisting the help of a park ranger who had worked there for 7 years. She had no idea the park had a 060902. Maybe she will figure it out n the next 7 years... TFTC!

Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #2119

Explorer bus dropped me off to these lovely gardens. The cache was quickly found giving me time to relax & enjoy before next bus arrived. Took TB onward.

Found during our holiday in New Zealand, thanks!

We like the rose garden and have visited it several times before without realising that there was a cache. Our daughter was really excited to find this one.

Left the good geowife up on Parnell Street shopping while I came for a walk this and one other cache.

This was a great little park (another one in Auckland that I have found) and a great place for a cache. Found it within a few minutes, signed the log and returned it to it's hiding spot and started the walk back to the shopping.

Took coin for a trip to Australia, left nothing & TFTC.

Cheers,

Found this one on a quick tour with my Dad, Moneydork.

A great we park.
Was raining when we did this one. TFTC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 3:35pm. This was a good hide and there was nobody about so easily found and returned. Lovely roses too. TFTC

A lovely day to take the kids geocaching during the school holidays. This was our first cache today. Noted in log book that one of the kids lost a small soldier (probably near cache) If you find it please add it to the container for him... thanks. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Lovely park we hadn't been to before.
Avoided the large groups of people wandering around and made a swift find at GZ.

A wedding group was gathering, Nice park, we really enjoyed this cache, thanks!

These gardarns are fantastic!

Forgot a pen, so did a 'rubbing' log. Cheers. (That's us by the butterfly sticker)

17:45 What a cool little park, enjoyed the views and the roses. The night was falling (dam this day light saving business), so I didn’t stay as long as I would have liked too.

Thanks for cache guys, great spot.

We made a stop in this lovely park on the way to Kelly Tarlton's. (We are visiting from Canada and our younger son wanted to see the penguins.) A quick find at GZ. We took the Cache Cow coin, which we'll move to another NZ cache, and left three geocoins, one of which is not activated. Thanks for the cache!

Nice park with great view to Auckland.

Quick find in a nice spot to finish off for the day. Quite surprised to see some traffic cones placed around a nearby bunyan pine warning of falling pine cones, until we saw how big they were. Ouch!!!
BTW Nice placement, thanks for the hide.
TNLNSL, TFTC.

3.00pm. Must be loosing our nack!! Thought we would knock this one off on our way to visit friends in Parnell this afternoon but ran out of time before we had located it. Our GPS took us out onto some clear grass area similar to the earlier log. Could identify nothing with the hint info. Oh well, another time.
[8d] M&P.

What a timing. We just had returned home from the long tour Whatipu/Pararaha Gorge and this cache listing jumped into our mailbox. 3.2km from home + car and shoes still warm: Off we went.
Rala soon found out that this place bore a special memory. In the small round place around the fountain she and the students and staff from Carlson School had had a picnic the day before one of her beloved students died. Together, we stood there for some minutes and talked about that memory of having spent a beautiful and special last day in the life of a child.
The cache was found pretty quick when we ignored the fact that our GPS was pointing into the middle of the open and flat grass area. The hint was useless in the dark, so cacher instinct had to do the job. Afterwards we looked up and saw the thing that the hint referred to. Nice place.
