Looked but no luck today, from the sounds of the previous logs it may have been lost to the council lawnmowers.

Nice catch neatly done
 
08-Mar-12
I found it today but the metal holding it in it's place has rusted and it has now fallen off. I wedged it in the branch but Needs Maintenance ASAP!

Also, the log book has been wound into far, no longer accessible.

Good cache though!

Easy find! The hint made sense after we found it Smile

A bit of scrambling in the trees yielded the desired result. Glad to have had the chance to check the GPS at nearby co-ords as indicated in the description. TFTC

On the second try we found this, we were in the right spot the first time but didn't have a proper look...anyway found it, nice spot, cool cache and neat log boog, didn't sign it...tftc

Such a cute cache!
 
30-Oct-11
Hot Sunday so not much parking nearby and lots of people around. However found it ok. TFTC
 
22-Oct-11
Should be an easy find indeed... This was our last attempt for the day and it took a lot longer than it maybe should have. We weren't too fussed, we had the green to ourselves and we knew it was going to reveal itself eventually. After making the find we rewarded ourselves with a late lunch on the beach before heading back home for the day. TFTC
 
20-Oct-11
Great spot! Loved looking for this one. Beautiful scenery!
 
09-Sep-11
6am and a 2k walk to get this one nice lay out of the cache and great place to chill TFTC
 
16-Jul-11
Quick find. great views from GZ. TFTC.
 
29-Jun-11
I think I know where it was and this type always fools me. Will return soon with the eagle eyed half of thejaybees as she always finds these ones.
 
06-Jun-11
A very clever hide! Thanks for bringing us here. We thought we were on the wrong side of the road at first but as per the recent logs, we just trusted our GPS. We searched for about 10 minutes and finally located the sneaky little hide. TNLNSL - TFTC! Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin This one would probably be my most favourite WackyB hides. Big Grin
 
20-May-11
A very easy find as the cache was lying right out in the open. I was surprised it was still there. I re-hid it where, and how I think it should have been. WackyB maybe you could have a look at his one when you get chance. Thanks for the cache.
 
06-May-11
Red Face My apologies for the LONG! absence from Geocaching. It is with regret that some of our caches have gone, but I hope to be able to review, update, restore, replace those that remain in the coming weeks. I would like to thank all that have helped maintain some of our caches in the true spirit of Geocaching, and extended thanks to those that have offered help in replacing those missing.

- Andy Surprised,

Out and about with the Future Finder today. After a positive experience with the local takeways in Maraetai, we thought we would stop bye for some dinner before heading home...Closed! Well, nothing for it, but to spend the remaing few moments of daylight to finish of the caches out Maraetai way. The Pohutukawa coastline is very scenic. Unfortunitly the grey atmoshpere today discouraged the taking photos. However, the cold weather meant for fewer muggles and ease of parking. Nice and easy find in the obvious spot. Took only a moment to spot in the failing light. What type of container is this? I like. I like a lot! Cheers for the cache!
 
20-Mar-11
Lucky to get a parking spot just metres from the cache with lots of people enjoying one of the last warm weekends of the summer. My GPS took me to within a few metres of the cache, but spotting it took some work with a container that blended in very well to the area.
 
09-Mar-11
Wow, Auckland can be quite beautyfull!
Nice and easy find,
Thank you
 
07-Feb-11
Easy find if you trust your GPS
 
15-Jan-11
What a wonderful weekend. After having spent the day at Tawhitokino Bay, we drove back a different route to get some more caches. This one was a typical great WackyB cache: Great container, great camo, great logbook. The only downside was the abandoned nest with an egg in it nearby.
TNLNSL, TFTC
 
02-Jan-11
Great hide ... should have found it quicker than we did. Trust the GPS
 
13-Dec-10
Great place for a cache.
Had to use the tweezers though as the log was inside the container, left it out now though.
Couple of young hoons so we admired the views until they left GZ Smile

Found on an East Auckland and beyond cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. Starting to get dark now. Ordered our dinner at the nearby takeaway then off to do this cache while it was made. Torchlight illuminated the cache and it was quickly found. TFTC, Biggles.
 
13-Nov-09
Found with Biggles while on a tour of East Auckland. Ahhh "got it!" now, and we found the cache. Wink Found this one while our dinner was cooking, very nice it was too, we enjoyed it while watching the waves lap in on the shore. The log is now full so could benefit from some development. TFTC.
 
31-Oct-09
Managed to poke myself in the left eye with a twig while I was looking for this one. Thanks.
 
08-Oct-09
Quick find on a quiet day . Checked my new Oregon on the marker and matched the co ordinates exactly .
 
04-Oct-09
Easy find with the help of the hint, we loved the container and lovely location. Noted that there are only 3 blank entries left on the log sheet, will need a new one very soon. TFTC
 
02-Oct-09
When I found this cache I liked the great container but then the logbook is certainly different.

My GPS was spot on in reference to the Bench Mark.

Cheers for the cache.
 
25-Sep-09
This one took a little longer than it should have to find. Very pleased to finally spot it. Haven't been to Maraetai for many years - and the beachfront still looks pretty much the same. Thanks for the cache and the childhood memories it brought back to us both.

XC and TK out and about on cache bikes... heading towards lunch but had to stop here first...
Parked bikes in handy spot and walked to GZ.. XC has had a go at this one before resulting in a DNF so said "Fetch" to TK and sure enough in 20 seconds she had it in hand. Mumble.
Nice container. Signed log and replaced.
TFTC #1010 now time for some food.

A school holiday afternoon caching with AC.

Had a sit in the sun, and didn't feel like moving for a while.
Lovely sheltered spot with great view!

TFTC
 
04-Jul-09
The rain came down as we were searching, but found it before we were to wet, but that was it for the day. No-one around on a day like this, so we were not interupted!

28-Jun-09
WHAT A COOL CACHE & LOG!A VERY WET DAY DIDN'T DETER US-AT LEAST THERE WERE NO MUGGLES AROUND.REALLY LOVED THIS ONE-TFTC
 
13-Apr-09
Camo meant cache blended in well - missed it on the first pass. Great views indeed. Noticed a muggle watching us, so acted like a teen couple and he then prefered not to watch! hee hee!

2nd go at this cache this weekend. Was determined to not leave without finding it. Yee Ha in the quiet of the morning and little cooler, I found the cool cache. Great hide. Must have been the sun putting me off 1st time. SL. TFTC. Smile
 
08-Feb-09
Drove slowly past cache on 7th, looking for parking, noticed someone appearing from the bushes and another laying on back with arms up a tree, surprise, surprise, they were geocachers ROSMAR. They hadn't found it and after a quick look I too packed it in - too tired and hot after day of caching on way to event cache. Realised on way back to campervan that I had locked both sets of keys inside (not the first time I've donw this while geocaching either Red Face, thankfully MAR had thin enough arms to get through the slightly open window and lift the button [^]. Anyway came back today and found fairly quickly to make my 2nd find of the day Big Grin. TFTC
 
07-Feb-09
Realised I'd never logged this one - found with Seattle's Best, Kayaknkiwi, Indiana Jill and a friend. Talk about beating the bushes! Good thing it was getting dark or we would have been highly conspicuous. Of course, IJ found it in the end, she (nearly) always does! TFTC
 
07-Feb-09
Out caching with the team afternoon while at the BBQ event, well we searched, searched some more, getting dark or should I say it’s dark, torches came out. Then whooolaa, nice find by Indiana Jill with her trusty torch!! Fantastic camo!! Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC!
 
07-Feb-09
The container is great. The log book is a way cool! Searched for this cache in the dark on our way home from the Oh Man A BBQ Campout event. This may have been easier in the daylight, but we perservered until Indiana Jill's torch caught a glint that shouldn't have been there. TFTC!
 
07-Feb-09
Hmm, this was not an easy find.
We found this one at night, really dark . . . I think the torch meeting the shiny steel made it possible. Was a really hard slog until I stuck my head all the way in to the foliage. Glint! Ah . . . then moved closer to get it and lost sight of it. Had to go back to first position to get it in focus again. Ah, got it.
Hooked is right but rather precariously so an adjustment was made. Hope it is ok with owner. Didn't mean to mess with your arrangement but was afraid things might fall in to obscurity.
 
06-Feb-09
So busy around this beautiful coast today. Fortunatly no one around the cache. A good hide with an excellent container. TFTC

Very busy at the beach today, but not at this little spot, though the cows took a distinct interest. Ingenious container and excellent log. TFTC.
 
13-Dec-08
A very cool little cache! Well hidden, but an easy find. We were a little concerned about the number people around, but were suprised you found such a quiet spot! Beautiful view! Loved the way the logbook was in there - very cool! TFTC
 
29-Nov-08
Found cache with friend timmcc, never wrote my name in log as didn't have an account then. Was a good find though!
 
29-Nov-08
Excellent hiding spot. Excellent container. Excellent log book! It's obvious a lot of work went into this one - and it was definately appreciated!! Was a good day out. Thanks for the cache!
 
09-Nov-08
There was a young couple enjoying the weather right by the cache - had to abandon the initial pass. Got some food & drink nearby, planned out the next couple of caches, then returned.

my coords were .898, .067
 
01-Nov-08
An afternoon along this coast. Great to find this one as I didn't find many of the others. Cheers.
