I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
I need to disable this until I have time to check, repair or replace. In the meantime if anybody else is keen to take over ownership of the GC I'm happy to transfer it to you. Kache Cat and Kache Rat have other interests now-a-days.
Find was a bit easier than I assume it should have been as cache was left on ground signed log and tucked into a nicer spot CO might want to return cache to where it's meant to bd
Took the two boys who both saw it at once and proceeded to fight who got to open it. Luckily no muggles about! Tftc
Thanks first one we foubd but no trinket so our daughter didnt wanr to put her trinket in. On to next one!
Hm, Last find Yesterday and hint gave not many options, but I couldn't find it ...
Parked up on Mt Pleasant Rd. Got out of my car and there was a rather unpleasant looking dog not too far where I parked, so I crossed the road to avoid any possible confabulation. Wandered into the park in jandals wondering why the heck I didn’t put on my gumboots. Got to GZ and the find was an easy one, no moans from me about that and I replaced the log paper. Then I had to make my way back to my car so I wandered along the road and was wondering where the heck is my car!!! The damn dog put me off my bearings, I soon realised that I had walked past it about 100m… what a twat I am!
Great cache it took us a few attempts but that's because at were looking for a green container... Its now in a plastic bag. Log is dry thanks again
Found , but was in bad shape spread apart. Put it back together but Needs a new log
First fail for the Winstone Wanderes. I feel let down and distraught. (Kidding)
Checked the shrubbery and gate but unable to find the green screw topper cache

Didn’t find the cache but did find some tasty apples so not a huge disappointment
Nice park! Cache suffering though - no screw top and log gone as an FYI to cache owner
I had never seen this park before. Also as I am currently trying to maintain a daily caching streak and today I needed to get one within the confines of a work lunch hour. So after reading the logs on this cache, it seemed that it might be a quick find... and so that is how I came to be looking for this particular cache. I am really glad that I looked at the logs before coming here as one of them indicated the type of footwear that would be best for this situation... and so I came prepared! As I walked through the park there were a number of muggles initially hanging around... and so while I headed to GZ I took a few photos along the way to hopefully give them the impression that I wasn't some kind of weirdo hanging around a kid's park in the middle of the day. I will share some of these photos with this log. It is worth noting here that by the time I was close to GZ, the muggles had basically all walked off. So once I was at GZ, it was a nice straightforward find which helped me out a lot as I have a very busy day. So I signed the log and put the cache back in its spot. So thank you BushNavigator for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. It also took me a while to get the significance of the name of the cache... a bit slow I know... but at least I got it in the end... TFTC! FYI - Today is day 391 in a row
We visited this park yesterday intending to search for the cache but it was pouring with rain and the ground near GZ was very boggy. Normally we wouldn't let that stop us but we were on our way to lunch and didn't have a change of shoes so decided it was best to try another time.
Another time came sooner than expected as today the weather was much nicer making a return visit impossible to resist, this time with some spare shoes.
A mother and daughter were in the playground but fortunately they were enjoying themselves so much they weren't paying attention to what was going on elsewhere in the park.
It was soon apparent that our decision to leave it yesterday was a wise one as the ground was indeed very damp and muddy and the journey to GZ was a slow one but once there the cache was found quickly after a brief search. The contents were a bit damp but still in good condition and it was nice to find a larger sized container.
Thanks Bush Navigator, Kache Kat and Kache Rat for a great hide and for bringing us to this lovely park hidden away down a street we would never have come down had it not been for geocaching.
We spent some time walking around and enjoying the peace and quiet. TFTC.

Nice find..container and log a bit wet..needs maintenance...have put log book in a sealed bag
Woohoo. Easy find. Cache is wet. If someone could bring some plastic would be good. Tftc
Thanks itsme93. Well hidden definitely.
Great cache however another gate which is more visible confused us. Thanks!

Found with mrcleverclogsnz, nice to have a quick find Gound wet underfoot but the Council have very recently mowed the park.
Found with Granny, a quick find meant I had a longer play on the playground
Bring your bug spray, there are mozzies about. Easy to spy once you've got your bearings.
Saw all the other notifications about needing a new log book so I have left a log sheet in the cache today when I logged my find. Very nice little park but I think the Auckland City Council has crossed this one off their mowing list longish wet grass . . . . . picked up a travel bug to move along . . . . . TFTC
As the weather was so fine today afternoon I went for a walk around Mt. Eden and searched some geocaches.
The park was really nice, I enjoyed it The cache is well hidden!

This is a neat park. Was nearly tempted to play on the cool looking slides. TFTC
Venturing out into the vines was a bit scary but got the cache and looked through all of the lots of names in the log book. TFTC
Nice easy find lived in the area for years but had never been to this little park before! Thanks!
SisterCorny travelling Asia and Oceania for four month, now in New Zealand.
Today it is sightseeing in Auckland, close to our Backpackers around Mt. Eden.
This one took longer to find then we expected, but in the end, we found it, not that difficult...
Really nice park, no muggles around. TFTC

Really a nice day for geocaching, and this park was really nice to walk in. The cache was found quickly, and is in good shape.
TFTC!
TFTC!
My caching and walking round through Auckland continued and brought me here to this nice park. My instinct told me, where to look and so quickly i was able to get my hands on this one and sign it's log.
Thanks for bringing me here, hiding the cache and keeping it alive and well

Having almost lost my phone at the previous cache when it fell out of my pocket into a pile of leaves, it seems that I did lose my pen as I arrived at this cache with no way to sign the log so have taken a photo to prove I was here!
This is a really good place to stash a cache. It is out of sight for most of the locals including the playground. A lucky spot and a good hide. TFTC
lol took us a while and lost two pens jumping around to g re the out of the mud haha thank you!
Third find of the day with GERNITA, nice quick find. Cool park for the kids. TFTC.
I highly recommend doing this cache when the weather has been dry for a couple of days. That, or wear gumboots! The picture doesn't do justice to how wet or muddy my feet are but I was determined! Thank you for the hide
My son Antek found the cache. It was his first one and he was very excited. He replaced the red car with a blue one. Thanks for this cache, it was geat experience for my son and we discovered the lovely park.
Argh the grass is boggy as, mud mud all over shoes and up legs. quick find of cache. Day two of a 4 day road trip from Hawkes Bay to Auckland and back to collect as many caches as we can. Log signed as b&p.Tftc
Love how this takes you to these neat places, I've been past this street a million times and never knew this park was here. Kids loved it. TFTC
A relatively quick and easy find at the edge of a very pretty suburban park. I play bowls down the road and never knew this park was here, so it was nice to come and have a look around. There were a few muggles around but the weather started to close in and they left which made for a good grab for me. Good size and a bit light on trinkets so stocked it up and headed on my way. No pen so take your own writing stick. The TBs are long gone I suspect so don't go looking for those. TFTC.
Quick find but realized after searching all my pockets that I had left my writing stick back in the car at the top of the hill. Perfect time for the rain to start :-/ tftc.
Quick find. Didn't like. Very close to private property. Thanks and greetings from Latvia!

Simple, easy find wanted to be quick due to incoming thunderstorm but proved a quick find anyway!
Was doing a bit of caching in this area today, as it is one I don't often get too, so I thought I may as well make the most of the opportunity after dropping junior NewlynFam off nearby.
Headed into the reserve, noting that there were a few mini muggles playing and hoping I wouldn't look too suspicious. Luckily, the phone took me away from where they were playing, and I read the hint and headed for where I thought it would be hidden. A quick search turned up nothing though, so I headed to the spot a few paces away that I had seen on approach, and had thought would be a good hiding place. Should have listened to my geo-senses, as there it was! It was a bit exposed, so I hid it under something lying around at GZ so it can't be seen by a casual observer.
The TBs listed in the inventory were not present, unfortunately. I dropped off a dog TB to carry on it's journey.... PLEASE only remove it from the cache if you intend to log it and carry it on properly.... I have had a few TBs go missing lately and am worried that I am going to be blacklisted!!!
Thanks for the hide.
