Bydlíme kousek od umístění a když jsme dojeli do hotelu, po ubytování šli jsme ven na zajištění jakýchsi lidských potřeb, jako je jídlo a pití...No co neslyšíme, dneska už podruhé češtinu a to hezky jadrnou, něco panáček nadával a žena ho usmernovala...když jsem je oslovil jen cubrneli...nakonec jsme krátce zkecli a my se vydali sem. Chvilku jsme pochodovali a pak dle nápovědy miláček sáhnul tam kam měl a ona byla naše. Diky za zajímavý maďarský či novozelandsky příspěvek. Kes je v poradku.

We live a short distance from the location and when we arrived at the hotel, after accommodation we went out to provide some human needs, such as food and drink... Well, what can we not hear, today for the second time in Czech and it's pretty concise, the little man was cursing something and the woman directed him ...when I addressed them, they just shrugged...in the end we had a short chat and we headed here. We marched for a while and then, according to the help, the darling reached where he was supposed to and she was ours. Thanks for an interesting Hungarian or New Zealand post. Cache is fine.

Found the cache with my family was my sister's first! Tftc
 
11-Feb-23
This one took us a wee while but we got it in the end! TFTC Smile
 
07-Feb-23
Omg, took a little while longer than expected, lucky there weren’t a lot of muggles early in the morning. But big brother might be watching through the camera TFTC
 
23-Jan-23
It was close to 8 mitres away from spot in garden where there is bark chips. Tftc
 
20-Jan-23
Sightseeing in Wellington, Harbour, Te Papa Museum and geocaching. We had a successful day. Thanks for the Caches.
 
16-Jan-23
Never been up to this part of Wellington before. Quick find when gps settled
 
15-Jan-23
Found with MarkJ57 while visiting on our cruise. Thanks for the hide and a reason to explore your city.
 
14-Jan-23
Found with Peas. TFTC
 
12-Dec-22
Searched for 20 minutes without any luck. Maybe next time...
 
07-Dec-22
I'm a bit annoyed about this. I hunted around, looked at old pics and logs, and eventually found myself in probably the right area, but no dice. Nastya has a better geocaching brain than me - I needed her help! Will have to try again on my next visit here.
 
03-Dec-22
Staying in Wellington for the weekend. Mrs Rubbishparty thought we were here for Christmas cashing (shopping) and Mr Rubbishparty thought it was Christmas caching. The joys of marriage. In the end we did both. Quick find here as the cache was quite exposed. Otherwise all fine. Thanks Yeetrees for the smiley
 
02-Dec-22
Nice work on this one. Took longer than it really should have. TFTC!

Thanks for the great cache
 
04-Nov-22
Yay, finally! Tried this one ages ago but there were too many muggles. Nice and easy find, coordinates ever so slightly off, but truly hardly at all
 
31-Oct-22
Lots of people lunching in the sun. Retreated to find another day.
 
31-Oct-22
Interesting garden. TFTC
 
14-Oct-22
Took a while. Like lots of others I started in the wrong spot, but eventually found it tucked under the hint snuggly. TFTC
 
03-Sep-22
Gps somewhat out but read a few logs, paf, and thought more like a geocacher and there it was! Thanks.

Attempted at night and failes
 
20-Aug-22
Found it on IGD 22 on our way back from an event. Interesting little park. Phone co-ords wouldn't settle but perseverance worked and also a couple of hints from other logs (eg think like a cacher, and the other end of the bark garden). TFTC

There is actually another Hungarian memorial I know of in New Zealand! Down in the Deep South. And there is a cache!
[PWGT5 - The Hungarian Connection](https://coord.info/GC93Y24)

Easy find here, not too many muggles around Sunday afternoon - everybody must be home resting after the week-end.

Kia ora! Paldies!
TFTC, Yeetrees!

Found with ivss_xx. Interesting little park.

I remember coming here a long time ago and "did not search". I'm not a fan of these locations but today I was a block or two away finding another cache and figured I might have a go since traffic is pretty light on a Saturday afternoon. The first few places I looked yielded nothing but with the area remaining quiet I persisted longer than I normally would in a place like this. When I started thinking like a cache hider I realised where it should be and, lo and behold, it was. Phew. Over to the nearby seat for signing, popped the cache back and left somewhat pleased to have finally found this. TFTC.

A quick find on a quiet Sunday morning. All good with the cache. Thanks
 
05-Jun-22
Nice spot
 
05-Jun-22
Very pleased to find this with Flossie110 after a previous DNF. Thanks for the cache.
 
26-May-22
Yay! First cache in years, really happy to be back at it. Just about to introduce my son to it, so used this as a reminder to myself if how to do it. Had forgotten the fun of it! TFTC
 
17-May-22
Booked into my accommodation and out exploring. Once I went to the corner by door I found the pill bottle cache.

Very difficult to be stealthy as lots of muggkes leaving the building and i think there was a camera too. Used a stick to move around the bark, starting at the small shrub, and of course it was at the other end of the bark garden.

Thanks for the hide, cool park
 
08-May-22
Difficulty: Major, hard to find but fun at the same time. Would recommend
 
16-Apr-22
Dont try this one at night. Rather tricky. Spent most of our time in the wrong spot
 
20-Mar-22
Sneaky little one! It’s on the other side of the path to what I was expecting based on the map. Quiet Sunday made it easy to avoid muggles
 
20-Mar-22
Fun hunt for this one! Not quite where i expected it
 
20-Mar-22
After a long time searching and not having geocached in years, finally found it on my birthday, happy birthday to me
 
13-Mar-22
The area was pretty quiet here today. Had a bit of a look around my GZ but there was nothing obvious to find. Read the previous log about helpful pics so had myself a gander and soon found the cache.
Thanks for the cache, opted-out user

Here on a quiet Sunday, waited for a Muggle to finish their lunch before realising I was not quite at GZ. Helpful photographs from previous logs showed me the way. Tftc!
 
07-Feb-22
Boy oh boy, that's a good one ae.

Lots of hint object to look through, but no luck today, just lots of rubbish. Smile
 
19-Jun-21
Not today
 
29-May-21
Awesome find! Was anticipating more foot traffic, but the location didn’t make my activity seem too strange. I pass by this garden weekly and never would’ve thought the location was used for something like this! Can’t wait to see the garden in spring TFTC!
 
20-May-21
Quite the hidden gem. Thanks for the attention to small places. Great find.
 
15-May-21
Under the bark, under something.

Detoured up here on my way to the bus station to catch the intercity back home. QEF TFTC
 
26-Apr-21
Logging 28/04. I found and logged this on the 26th but clearly it didn't go through for some reason. Nice easy find here, in great condition, nice waterproofing. Signed the log and replaced as found on my way to the railway station for my ride home. TFTC
 
24-Apr-21
Found it today. Much easier and hint was spot on! Tftc
 
24-Apr-21
Second time lucky and few muggles about. Found while out doing the Thorndon Ramble Adventure Lab. GPS was a bit off and thanks to extra hints from previous cachers we were able to locate fairly easily. Signed log and replaced where found. TFTC.
 
05-Apr-21
Not as central as we expected. Leave no stone unturned..
 
19-Feb-21
Quick nab in between muggles!
 
18-Feb-21
Had to get some shopping done at New World. Nice little park to come and read for a while. Thanks for placing the cache
 
07-Feb-21
I've always been fascibated by Hungarian history so this was a great find. Took a while with muggles and a broad hint but found eventually. Tftc!
 
30-Jan-21
Muggles everywhere! But we had a quick opportunity to get our hands dirty ️
 
29-Jan-21
Looked at night to make sure no muggles around. Got within 7 metres of GZ when Phil made the find. Now to buy some chocolate as a reward! SL TFTC

I'm from Northland and I'm on a 2 week tour of the South Island with my Mum and 2 of my children. We've been to Queenstown, Te Anau, Milford Sound, Mt Cook, Fox Glacier. We headed up from there to Greymouth to see the fantastic pancake rocks and went across the island on the Tranzalpine train. We then had a day in Christchurch and headed up on the scenic train from Chch to Picton and over on the Kaitaki ferry yesterday. We're having a day in Welly today and visited Te Papa before flying home tomorrow. I've picked up some special caches such as earthcaches, labs, virtuals and puzzles where I could. Our motel was nearby and we were all tired. I need a cache today as I'm trying to get a 50 day steak for a GIO licence so I zipped down here. It's my 50th birthday today and I nearly wrote my birthday year included on the log. Imagine finding a cache before geocaching began, lol. Thanks for the cache Smile
 
20-Jan-21
My geosense brought me to the GZ on a busy lunchtime. Always good to find out more about the world. Thanks for bringing me to this little park! TFTC

It was kind of a grey Saturday and so luckily not many Muggles were around. Quick grab and log. TFTC
 
01-Jan-21
Great find! Third find in 2021 was a good one! There was no pencil so we couldn’t write our name, but it was still fun to find!
 
21-Dec-20
After work surge meant lots of scanning before taking quick checks but worked. TFTC it is still safe and well.
 
19-Dec-20
A day caching in Wellington. Here I had to wait for a muggle to move on. Thanks Yeetrees for the cache.
 
08-Dec-20
Found after more of a hunt than was probably required! Trying to avoid attention from end-of-day commuters combined with a bit of misdirection... Eventually got to the right spot. Tftc!
 
03-Dec-20
My first geocache and didn't know how or what I was looking for! Found it and was so thrilled. No pen on me but luckily I work nearby!
 
28-Nov-20
Well I was back in our capital and walking to the hotel and said to Mrs abxt350 ... There's that *#$$?@ cache we hunted for last time we were here. There it was laying in the sunshine for all to see. Signed and returned under, but may need a check to make sure it is where it should be. Cheers for the smiley at last
 
27-Nov-20
found it
 
27-Nov-20
Done and dusted!

Sadly could not find it
 
18-Sep-20
First one! Took a while and found a skeleton but also found this!
 
31-Aug-20
First find for us! How good
 
31-Aug-20
Our first find
 
21-Aug-20
Even at 5.15pm it was easy enough to avoid muggles by having a seat and pretending I was waiting for someone. Got my hands on it straight away. TFTC
 
05-Aug-20
No luck this time, even after scouring across the hint item for ages
 
01-Aug-20
On a trip to wellington for the weekend to give the scooters a good run and Armageddon we had to least find some caches in the area - thanks for the placement and enjoyed the locations on offer - cache all in good order
 
25-Jul-20
Nice to get this after a previous dnf. Thanks for replacing.
 
25-Jul-20
Took a bit of turning over of the hint item, in fact pretty much all of it, before I spotted the container... but got it. At least it was pretty quiet and muggle free at 10:30pm. TFTC!!!
 
24-Jul-20
Up this part of the town, so a lunchtime wander was in order. Last visit had to abandon due to too many muggles, but this visit their were way less of them maybe because of COVID-19?
Not much of the hint item around now, cache visible where I found it at GL. TFTC
 
21-Jul-20
The rain was a good distraction, far less people around than there may normally be I'd say. After finding a likely spot the cache was quickly found and returned. TFTC
 
21-Jul-20
Drove around in circles trying to find a park near the beehive. Finally found one, and 21m from this cache. Put the money in the metre, it was a quick find, then a walk around the beehive and some nearby caches before money ran out. Grabbed a nice coffee from Coffix for our drive north.
 
03-Jul-20
quick find tftc
 
27-Jun-20
I have returned again to Wellington for further training for my new job. This time I am here for a full week - from Wednesday to Tuesday, including the weekend - which work is paying for as it is currently cheaper to pay for accommodation and a daily stipend then it is to pay for return airfares around the country for us all.

So I have taken advantage of a weekend free to do my own thing and sign off a number of caches I didn't get a chance to find the last time I was down here. Headed out early on Saturday morning with the intention of finding a few caches, but ended up with a whole lot more, as well as a number of Adventure Labs and walking more than 23km.

I decided to spend some time exploring Thorndon, as I used to live there about 10 years ago, so it was nice to see what had changed. I arrived at GZ and it was still early that there were very few muggles around. Eyed up my options and managed to locate the cache in the first place I looked.
