No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Looked in what I thought wad the right place.....

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

Appears to have been tampered with and burnt to ashes

I am fairly new to this but I dont think it is there any more. There is some burnt rubbish under the tree and may be this was its fate. Chris

Drove pass this lovely park and thought there's a cache to be found! I'm pretty sure we went to the right tree however there was no cache. Looked and poked around, nothing was there Aww...maybe the next visitor could verify if they've found it or it's missing - Censations.

No joy with this one...GPSr took us to a tree...searched but nothing...couldn't search further due to many muggles at the park.

[:X]

Second find this morning while doing school drop off run ( luckily running early)

Wandered along past the Tai Chi brigade on the tennis court (luckily all facing away from GZ or things may have been more difficult)

GPS initially had us near park facilities but soon settled down & pointed in correct direction...

Cache soon spotted (all secure & dry)

Thanks bar-bq for the cache

Found with WANGAZ. Easy find. Picked a bad day to go as the park was packed of the Filipino Community but managed to get cache without anyone seeing.

TFTC

Nice easy find after dark. Absolutely no muggles about. Cheers Gav [8747]

An interesting find as we don't have Mango trees in NZ.
Looks like some school kids have found and logged the cache as well.

So many people at the park, but we still managed to find it and sign the log book without anyone noticing.

Found this afternoon with Stairman1, geodog and geodaughter. Obviously there was a big party at the park with muggles everywhere. However no one took notice of us lurking around the tree. Stairman1 retrieved the cache from its hiding hole and the log was signed and returned with not a head turned from all the muggles. TFTC

Had to dodge all the muggles to retrieve this one. There must have been 100 or more multicultural muggles in the park. However with a lot of stealth and cunningness, we retrieved this one without anybody spotting us. TFTC

A timely stop after all those Mother's Day coffees I'd had this morning; there were lots of other people celebrating the occasion in the park here today too. The mango trees were so massive that I could hardly believe they were mangoes - just gorgeous! Waded through the very long grass on the way back to the car. TFTC. =^.^=

The grass was in desperate need of a mow here although the playground area was in full use. Luckily we were out of sight of the Mother's Day muggles and found and replaced the log without drawing any attention. TFTC

TFTC. Nice Mango Stands.

Great location, nice spot but you have to be a little tall to get it, let alone see it. Retrieved the TravelBug.

Neat spot! Crowds of muggles playing in the park today. Voler & I grabbed a travel bug

well today was a bit of a mile stone as this was our 100th cache. I must say we played this one a bit dumb as I always read the previous logs and was all mixed up as we came from a total direction we parked in the car park .Then after about a good look around we came up with the cache and thanks to aussie lcrew before us the log was perfectly dry.
Thanks bar-bq
TFTC.Left TB.

Saw the big wooden fence and thought we might have to drive around but no, gate was unlocked. You can just walk in. No one in the park on a weekday. Cache found quic kly but log was wet and ruined. So back to geovehicle for replacement log and plastic bag. Dry out the inside of the cache and it was all fixed up ready to go again. Look out for the little ice cream stand.

The "stand" in the cache name is a word you don't see a lot now - for a stand of timber. After seeing the mango trees at Mayes Cottage we appreciated the importance of mangoes in history around here.

Our Tom Tom took us to the end of a road and we had a fence with a gate between us and the cache. Gate was unlocked so we just walked through for a short walk and fast find. Cache was a little visible. We tried to disguise slightly more with a couple of pieces of bark. As previous cachers have mentioned, the log was soaked and nasty and slimey. We were happy to replace it with a nice dry one in a ziplock bag provided by Bristracker. Bristracker also had a dry pencil which was also left. We wiped out the cache and cleaned out the ridges on the closure hoping this will help keep the water from leaking in. Thanks for placing it here. A very nice playground with lovely big shade trees. Managed a little CITO.
Took: nothing
Left: bag marbles

2nd time i have been past this one but each time has always been party near by.

On a beautiful, sunny day found the cache. For the owner a reminder that is was completely soaked. Barely able to write our log on it.
But TFTC.

In: KFC

Toto59 (Holland)

Nice easy find, log was still soaked.

Very wet I poured the water out but the log could do with some drying time.

One busy park at lunch time TFTC bar-bq

Lots of muggles and cache needs to be fixed very wet TFTC

Good coords made for a nice quick find in the rain. Dropped in TB. TFTC.

Lots of muggles about so we had to pick our moment carefully. TFTC

Cache #30 on our Gold Coast to Brisbane road trip. Park and playground teeming with people today. Took our time and exercised stealth for the cache. Took longer to put it back safely than retrieve it. TFTC, Biggles.

Grabbed on dusk on my way home from work. A few kids in the park but nothing to worry about. Thanks

Easy find but mega muggles, however using quick hands did the trick. Wife was beside me saying 'are you going to grab it or what', had great pleasure showing her it was already in my hand. Wandered away a little and filled in log. Then another 'hands are quicker then the eye' maneuver and we were out of there.
TFTC

Park full of muggles, had to return after dark! Easy find !
TFTC

found this one in the dark... knew where it was as I was here before, but was completely muggled out... today was fine though!!

Thanks Bar-bq

A quick fins.

This wasn't too hard to spot as it was uncovered.
With an overcast day it was a muggle free zone so no worries retreiving it.
Signed the log and replaced with a bit of folige over it.

Found cache TNLN TFTC Duggstr

A very busy park even on a damp morning. Took a couple of photos of a couple of very strange trees next to the car park of onbe tree growing inside another. Talk about strange ways to save space. A group of people where under the picnic shelter looked like they had just finished an exercise class.

Hello to Mr. and Mrs. Maccamob. Nice to meet you both.

I may not have arrived at the cache site in the easiest manner, but I no complain. The cache found fairly quickly in dry condition. SL. No swaps. Thanks.

Found by Mary & David at 1455. Ah! So that's a mango tree. Learning something new at every cache. A muggle appeared just as we put the cache back. No, it's not a muggle, it's PesceVerde! We'd recently done 3 of his caches, so we introduced ourselves and enjoyed a short chat. Our thanks again to Bar-bq.

Found this one nice and quick before work. TFTC!

Popular park with the locals, none seemed too interested in a passer-by!

Hughe trees!
Fortunately I was tall enought, Or can you rent a small mini-muggel from the nearby site for assistant

I was the second visitir to this cache today and spotted the container from 20m out... It was sitting in its hidey hole with no cover at all and was quite obvious... Luckily there was noone around today due, I assume, to the rain. So I had plenty of time to conduct business and tuck the container away with a little more cover to keep it safe...

Cheers bar-bq.

Millions of mini-muggles about but none tall enough to reach the cache after i signed it and placed it back.

woooooohoooooa
We just found our first cache.

Thankyou!

Found with mtbikeroz, tic toc, and rorus.

An interesting spot, nice park area, and of course the highlight was there was a cache to find! Had to content with some muggles but all OK.

Those Mango trees are HUGE. I never knew they grew so big. And they had mangoes on them too.

Found with Captain Tomato, Tic Toc and Rorus on our local caching trip. Thanks for the company. Thanks for the cache too. (logging now when I have access to a pc)

Easy find, although I am a bit short at 5'6"!

I came here for a family picnic - sat down and turned on my pda gps. cache 50m away it informed me. a short stroll for an instant find returned to my chair to write in the log
tftc

The joys of being tall. was right at eye level and found quickly. TFTC

What is it with huntsmen these days? Another cache with a guardian, and I only discovered him when I held the container in my hand. Dropped it rather quickly. TFTC

Nice Playground park with patox... nice warm weather

lovely park sunny

Found this one in the dark, while being on the phone. A classic.

TFTC, wemwolf

found after a day of school with geobrother and geodad, an easy find for the geotwins, TFTC TNTL

I was out today with Geobub tracking down a few caches. This was the second, and a pretty easy find, even if I did have to stand on the stroller to reach the cache!!! Signed the log at 12:30pm.

A quick find though Dad had to get it I`m just not big enough and it looks as though someone tried to burn down tree by putting coals into the fork

Out and about today with Mrs HappyHarries to nab a few caches while the kids are at school.

We drove around tyring to get to GZ but ended up in a dead end, but luckily this dead end had a gate!! Through we went and the cache was soon located.

Thanks for the hunt Bar-bq

Out today with Mrs K-six. My GPS took us down a dead end street Lucky for us there was a gate in the fence. TFTC.

I hope the mangoes that didn't survive died with their boots... er... roots on. SL TFTC Bar-bq

Easy as. Found with LolKate, JustRobbie and GoldenChild. Never knew this playground existed. Very cool.

lovely park! In and Out quickly. TFTC

A quick and easy find. Some interesting playground equipment in the park.

An interesting looking playground near GZ. The cache was found easily - have never seen mango trees this big before, they must be at least a hundred years old! TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 1:44pm. Picked the right place immediately to find the cache. Cache safe and well. TFTC

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Walked straight up to this cache. Signed log. TFTC

TFTC. Nice easy find

Lots muggles kids were playing around during birthday party.
They were busy not notice me while I was stealthing away.
Found it nice.
TFTC

FIRST TO.... RE-LOG.. Easy to find! TFTC

Don't know which cache I found now as it had all the logs starting from IF's FTF message. This is a great park and thank heaven they saw fit to let the mango trees remain. TFTH

Cache has been muggled, nowhere to be seen .
replacement cache in place . Please try and hide it again after you have found it , there has been a lot of logs saying that they could see it as they walked up to it .

What a nice little park. Snagged a park in the nearby private estate and enjoyed my stroll to GZ. Cache doesn't seem to have any cover and may need some attention. TFTC

Have a quick - look up. Too many muggles at the park. I am sure no cache there so would be lovely if anyone can check up. Thanks.

Came at the park from the wrong side but there was a gate in the fence.

To my surprise the park was extremely busy. The locals must have organised a BBQ for Monday student free day.

Luckily it was obvious where the cache was and it was simple to extract it and walk away to fill in the log.

Similarly, the replacement was easy with everyone busy with there own things.

Could see it from across the park, was out and about with Claeton, we took the opportunity to hide it a tad better, TFTC SL

Located in the company of Smeeagain we were surprised that this was still here as we could see it from across the park so signed log and hid it better
TFTC TNLN SL

This was quite an easy find and the GPS lead me straight there. Nabbed, logged, returned.

Busy day in the area today. Found this one while keeping an eye on the muggles in the playground. No one seemed to be looking at me. Guess the clipboard, hat and biro disguse is working well. TN/LN/SL.

TFTC yook stickers and left a duck. great park lots of open space to play footy too. had a great day geoing. thanks

Out and about on the bike this morning
How far can a man-go ? Well at least as far as Kuraby [:o)]
The stand is quite a sight too !!
No fruit on the trees yet but judging by the flowers there should be a bumper crop in a couple of months
