Didnt find it, looks like the area has been cleared recently, will PM owner with a pic.
First geocaching experience with my 3 and 5 year old. Close to home and a fun start to hopefully many more.
Quick and easy find. I did not expect that container, despite having read the description so I was a bit surprised.
Looks like the cache has been muggled. Put back together as best we can. Found log and geocaching instructions outside the container. Put back in. Only found 1 of the listed 3 TB's and have picked up. Re hidden in same area but unsure if its the intended spot. Placed behind a concrete slab by the tree.
Scot has fond memories of the TV series, something to do with a certain actor she thinks. Quick easy find. TFTC.
Super quick find, surprised that this exists given the time it has been here. Another large cache which is always good to get. TFTC
Seemed to be the complete opposite of the clue. Not sure if the cache has been moved or if the clue is meant to be misleading. TFTC.
Out caching for the afternoon with Lycurgon, TFTC 
Cache was not where clue lead us to believe, maybe the CO could check?

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 18, In Auckland Region, Northshore. NZ Mega Auckland Day 3. Caching with Sol de Lune getting to the extra event activities. After a fun morning at the reserve the CITO was held in and an afternoon event tag swapping, we headed towards the evening BBQ event location, stopping at a few caches along the way. Most were picked for being simple drive bys. Thanks.

#6425. We were passing, and had to make a stop for a cache named after a favourite series. Nice little park. Cache seemed quite exposed so was not hard to find. TFTC.
We were heading south of the bridge today, so just time to pick up a few North Shore puzzles.
We were big fans of Blake's 7 so had to stop by to find this cache, even though it was a trad. All quiet at GZ and the nice big cache. TFTC.

Day 3 of the Mega and the day was spent attending events and grabbing caches in between. A fun way to spend the day...and to finish up with the BBQ down at the beach was very nice.
Thanks for all the caches and sightseeing around Auckland.......

Found it this morning as we headed away from our hotel to Auckland, then on to an event, then on to the airport to head home to Melbourne. I needed 7 today to reach the 1700 milestone, and I think we got there. Very nice container TFTC
Always tricky when cachers who are used to caching via daylight decide to cache in the dark. We enjoyed the night time view from this spot. Cache was discovered, signed and returned. Nearby house renovating, their fence is down...felt like we were traipsing through their backyard! TFTC
Out for a MEGA day of geocaching with Earthbound Chief & Co. A quick easy find. Felt a bit dodgy walking past clothes lines and trampolines in peoples back yards. TFTC.
Found this one while doing a little bit of night caching after the Fish'n'Chip Event. TFTC
Found during the Mega weekend. The weather turned out to be much better than expected, and we enjoyed exploring all the walkways, nooks and crannies. Many thanks to all the owners of the great caches we found.

Very well hidden cache. We went in the night time and felt quite dodgy with torches so close to houses. Took us a while and found it just before we gave up!

Checking in the Geocache. All good.

Took me longer than I thought it should! I could see several neighbours - and was concerned that they could see me - so my searching was quite gentle. Came up with the goods tho! TFTC
Just as well there isn't any time limit for searching for a cache. How could something so big be so invisible? The usual story though, you are about to give up and then you find it. Took a TB. TFTC.
This took slightly longer than it should have. I reached GZ as the skies opened up and the rain poured down. Took a good look around and moved around the tree twice whilst trying to keep as dry as possible. I was wondering whether it was still there when I took another look and realised I was standing next to it.

Looked for a wee while then suddenly there it was, had to laugh as it was so big, can't believe it took us a few minutes to find it, tftc
Trackable wasn't in the cache

The red underside - which was turned upside - was a bit of a give away... after a little searching. Went on an introductory caching with ZK-GXP. Loved the camo top!! Red underside tucked away safely again. Thanks!!
The Future Finder wanted to head out for some geocaching, so out the door we went. I really enjoyed Blake's 7 as a whipper snapper. Found after a bit of poking about. Cheers for the cache placement!
What a lovely little park! Yes, great to have a decent sized cache, err, data capsule. We couldn't find Chip the Clown Fish Travel Tag, but did leave a tiny croc. TFTC
One of four discovered during this evening stroll while dodging showers and other hazzards. TFTC
Nice quiet reserve. Nice to see a decent sized container, after all those little horrible Eclipse containers that CO's seem to use up here! The cache was found rather exposed, so I covered it with a little more native camo. Thanks for the cache.
Drove on over here just before the real start of rush hour, planning on returning just as it finished.
This was the first one of the morning. Parked on nearby, and took a look in the obvious spot. Wasn't there, but so I tried from the other side... oh wow. It was staring me right in the face! What a large and interesting container!!
So took a seat in the nice park, and signed the log and took in the fresh morning air before slowly heading to the next one.

Very wet slog to GZ but a decent size dry cache at the end. Left a pathtag took a duck. Tftc
Had come up to stay the night on a Grabone deal so were out visiting friends in the area. After the general conversation and laughing at the cacher they were fairly intriged by the whole thing and wanted to give it a go.
So off 5 set (+ Cats&Dragons) to find a fifth cache, a quick walk up the hill and along the road, down the road and through a nearby park to find that this cache (now just down to three as the others had headed home. Again No.1 newbe son found the cache and was amazed by it and loved the cammo as he looked in the same spot three times before seeing it. He's deffinatly hooked at this point. His Dad liked it that it got him off the cache and away from a gaming screen and computer.
Great first experience, for them so thanks for the cache
