Seems like this cache has disappeared. Am Archiving due to being unable to replace and ensure ongoing maintenance. Thanks to all that have found this cache

Found hole, no cache

After work and waiting around to Time Warp, i spent the next few hours caching. Quite a few muggles out and about and a ton of tourists everywhere.

even with the 4 other DNF's i looked anyway. Nothing....

Because I saw kids take it when I just got there

Popular fishing spot and maybe some kids have taken it?

did not find

Found hole no cache though,

Had fallen out of hole, placed back in correct spot

Well hidden. Cache in good condition

Slippery;)

Slippery find

Well, that's funny. It's 2 days short of the 6th anniversary of me finding the cache the first time. I took sveppi here because at the moment we are targetting older caches to complete our Months Placed matrix, and she didn't have this one. I remembered roughly where it was but not quite how to get to it. I think I made the same mistake as last time and ended up on the wrong side of the stream at first. Today the area is very busy with a 7s tournament at the stadium and plenty of cricket matches on the ovals all around. The grassed areas around the cache are unlocked for parking. Since I parked near the bridge over the stream we headed off that way. As we got closer the place started to look familiar so I knew we were on the wrong side. Double-backed and sveppi managed to grab the cache, only to notice that the pen wasn't where it was supposed to be. So it was a quick 150m walk back to the car to supply sveppi with the tool she needed to legally log the cache!

In town with fanfan-77, and we are planning a bike ride later. After a few errands around the shop we headed off to grab this cache. A "special" for me as it fills in a month on my placed matrix. Found after a false start on the wrong side of the stream. Thanks for keeping an oldie alive. Cheers.

Wow great trip. Had heaps of fun

Found with livee_nz while over on this side of town at night. Cool spot for a cache. Nicely hidden away from the road. Had a slip going down the stream bank, but worth it to find the cache. Thanks

Definitely needed to read the hint for this one in the dark. I managed to not slip but georunnermatt wasn't so lucky tftc

Wow what a mission. Again another find by the amazing Adaz1

After a careful climb down the bank, the cache was soon in hand. Quickly signed and made our way back up the hill. Tftc

Wasn't sure how to approach this one but got down bank. Clue was very helpful. Log book full and needs replacing. Thanks for the placement

Nice area for a quite spot of fishing....found it ok log full tftc

We were in the area as daughter had rugby tournament this weekend. Checked to see if any caches in the area and bingo there was one just 600 metres away! So with a break of to find. Took a little while to find this well hidden cache but got there in the end. Tftc an of course a smiley?

Bit slippery great fun first geo cache

Quick find on a lovely spring morning.

Quick and easy find while in Rotorua with a grandchild

1492 Was on the wrong side to start with but once on the correct side I was able to grab and sign. Didn't see and TBs in it.

Found it

Sorry having trubble finding this one

Didn't want to attempt this one today as I am on my own. Will be back when I have some help

My little and myself had fun finding it and heresyou gotta go down to the river then look up

first one for the day in the beautiful sun aroha and happy caching

This is my first find it was awesome and fun looking for it thanks

A quick park and grab. The clue was slightly confusing but found the cache anyway. Tftc

Our family dropt our TB "JO" at this geocache for us.
So he can travel back home to Holland.

Tftc! Cool little find

Easy find but terrain is more than a 1.5. Nice little area tftc. Dropped a tb

Dropping tb

Hard to find. No toys... So we left one

Caches found quickly and in good condition - to replace I just jammed it back in there as best I could - it shouldn't fall out. I had actually forgotten about the Stream series - I really need to figure out where I'm up to on that - cheers Cach Hunter1

First cache of the day as we proceed to do the touristy things.
Went a bit deeper than needed at this place, but as we adjusted ourselves it came into sight.
All was well with cache and added some trinkets before we left.
Cheers

Easier than I thought

I have logged this cache as part of 12-12-12: A Challenge? http://coord.info/GC42CNY
Princess drew the short straw and scrambled down the bank to find this one - thankfully it has been relatively dry so not too slippery! nice quick find TFTC

In town today to test out some new bikes for work so once that was finished I had time to find some caches.
My last find today (2 away from 600) but time to pick my mate up so had to go.
Found this one under the hint area so I signed and placed back as securely as possible.
TFTC

PS - No trackable present

Holy moly..rainy day was not ideal ... great hide!

This cache took us around 10-15 minutes of good searching to locate. We eventually had the container in hand. SLTFTC. Thanks for bringing us here !! Nice hide.
[:o)]

Great little hole to hide a cache. Thanks for bringing us here

#1121. I grew up in Rotorua and used to spend so many nights trout fishing in this stream. I remembered this exact bend in the stream as well. The stream bank is eroding away near the cache so be careful getting there. Had a few holes forming under my feet as I searched for the cache. Soon found in a nice hiding spot that fitted with the hint. Signed log. Still dry. TFTC

Awesome, our first one found!

Last for the day. Close to home

Decided that another night trip was on the cards, and not being one to turn down a mission I was keen to tag along. We needed to be back home by 2.00am as I had another caching mission on Saturday and needed at least a few hours sleep.

Left Hamilton about 5.30pm and headed south. We had a rough plan of tackling the new breakfast series and to get whatever else we hadn't found on that side of town. A pretty successful mission with only 1 DNF (which we were pretty sure was muggled) and some really cool caches to boot. Thanks to everyone for the great placements.

Last one of this series found, thou still missing one set of numbers. Had previously hunted for this one but I think it wasn't in it's rightful spot so I missed it. Quick find tonight though.

Ex-streamly slippery!

sneaky lil hiding place

So many pungas. ..

Almost gave up and almost ended up on the creek! Great fun ☺

Nearly dropped this cache and myself into the river! Cache had fallen out from its home. Popped it back along with a new bag and pencil TFTC

Great hiding place for the cache, very slippery this morning and hasn't showered for a good number of hours. Be careful going down the bank, fantastic cache over all. A bit musty smelling though

Cache may need a little attention. Getting mouldy and wet.

Took a bit of searching but found, almost lost paperwork into stream, sound and sound as it was.

My son found it, awesome

Not so easy to find but managed with my nephew scrambling through the banks and pungas. Tftc

Slipped down the muddy bamk twice trying to find it. Looked everywhere. Found a few suspicious holes but thats all. Gave up.

Tftc

Dad found after nearly giving up, thanks lovely spot

TFTC! A few bitey sandflies by the water, luckily it was a quick find

Found site no cache

Found the hole but no container

Found an empty container close by but contents were gone??

Crazy place. Green dot clearly was on other side of river. Slippery. Quickly gave up before we landed in the river. Terrain difficulty should be higher.

Epic trip down the bank. Tftc

Yep with the back to the stream looking at a Punga was a good tip. At the foot of it in the soil.
This was our first find ever! We're hocked, Yeya!

Found it no prob. Couldn't see a hole it could have been hiding. Found it sitting on top. There is a track you can follow further around the stream. Easier than clambering down the bank.

Thanks for the find.

A bit of a mission to get to but got there in the end with wenzwill. Beautiful day for exploring. TFTC

Glad we got there before the rain,the bank was prety slipery. Good hide,nice area that i wouldnt have otherwise known about. TFTC

I like exploring to find this cacheTFTC

A quick find, but not where it was supposed to be. It was lying on the ground in the open and so after signing I replaced in as good a spot as the hint suggested.
TFTC

Long time since this one has been found by the looks. The hole has caved in, may need repair. Picked up TB Kupe- to move him along on his trip to Paris.
