Had a good look around even got up to my elbows in a hollow in a tree but alas did not find...
Two goes now with no find! However I dont have a GPS yet, so may have been looking in the wrong place.
Found on the way back from a Church camp at El Rancho.
Took "Essex Kiwi's Help for Heroes (TB447K7)" Geocoin that was still listed in a cache in Bay of Plenty...

Found on a long journey from Wellington to Hamilton, a quick find and a welcome diversion. TFTC
Another driveby that we have finally stopped for. Cache was easy to find as the camo was starting to come of the lid and the bright pink underneath sure was eye catching! I replaced the container upside down so it would be quite as obvious.

Ah, a flying-related cache - always a favourite with strike-a-light
We walked around in a bit of a circle looking for the right spot to search and I enjoyed the nearby nasturtiums too before finding the cache in a likely spot. TFTC

Quick diversion on the way back from braving the crowds at Otaki. Better at Geocaching than bargain hunting! TFTC
Caching on our drive up to Lake Taupo today. Enjoying the drive through the North Island. TFTC!!
Taking in all the great sites of NZ in a short time is impossible. This right after the NZ mega. Can't ask for much more....
TFTC Happy Cachin!!!!

First Geocache Site! Introduced to it by my dear friend Zissas. Would not have stopped here otherwise. What a great bit of history!
the gps was a bit out here so we searched the wrong tree but found it in the end many thanks 
Found it, many thanks. Found it on the way home from the Horowhenua. One or two Muggles around, but it was dark so no trouble.
The rock is missing its plaque! [:-(]. LillianaVess and I turned up about lunchtime, and had to dudge a couple of muggles, but that didn't take much effort. Cache retrieve achieved!
On our way to Ohakune, so a few caches on the way were in order. Found with no problems. TFTC
Great day for a hunt, found the cache easy enough... Cache still in good nick... Camoflague starting to come off. TFTC
TFTH, lovely spot, the bottom of the cache is damp so toys in it are getting wet, log is ok though, left finger light, took nothing

Cache found with Krtik together. There we spent 6 weeks in NZ on bicycles. Nice trip thru both islands, interesting nature, wildlife, people, campsites, geocaching, etc... I'd like come back sometime...

Nice quick find, and muggle free when I stopped (not so 5 minutes later!). TNLNSL. TFTC!
After having bypassed this cache on a number of times due to muggles in the area it was fairly quiet here today. Thanks for bringing us here and for the interesting snippet of history. TFTC
Nice one
Was a little hard for the short kids. Lots of geo-track squashed grass around. TFTC.

found at alternative closer option, after searching the first option. Was wedged in tight and well covered.
Hard to envisage where the flight could have been and a shame the plaque is missing. Thanks to your notes the sign coming into the rest area wasn't as cryptic as it must seem to other visitors. NINO TFTC
Found this morning on our way to Porirua. Geo found this one while Magz was spending a penny. TFTC
Good first find for the day - on the way to Palmerston North

The brass plaque is missing off the rock, but otherwise, all is well at Will Scotland Memorial. Found with Brightspirit.
#59 Found by miss dannyboy quick find TFTC had to make it look casual as a few muggles were about.
Find #706. The penultimate find (35) for the day as the we finished up our caching expedition in the Paraparaumu, Otaki & Levin districts. We found so many caches today that our total finds rose over 5%, and our caching karma (our finds divided by finds on our caches) actually dropped, because we found too many!
Caching burnout took hold at this point! But nonetheless, it was a quick find, despite some muggles coming back to their cars from walking their dogs. Hopefully this cache is still here in 2014, when the 100 year anniversary of the flight occurs. SL TFTC Yeetrees.

Quick and easy find. Unfortnately plaque has gone from memorial stone, hopefully just for R & M. TFTC
Enjoying the road south and picking up caches left and right.
Thanks again for placing another SH 1 cache.

A nice new log book and a nice hide. It seems a bit wobbly so I hope it doesn't get blown about. I tried to make it secure. TFTC
Have replaced logbook and container and put it in a new location as the area is a bit more exposed now
Papa's driving from Palmerston North to Wellington to catch a plane hope - quick roadside stop. Interesting local history. Salamat!
Bit of a hunt around both the logical places eventually turned up the cache at the "other one". Nice location and a place to stop and eat the ice creams. SL collected TB to move along. TFTC

On my trip around the world I first visited the States, travelled from there to Australia and continued my trip in New Zealand.
Terra Fox joined me and we made a four-week-tour in NZ driving from north to the south and back again.
Geocaching can take you to spots you would never visit and so I used my trip to find some caches in every state and country.
Thank you for this cache and greetings from Germany

Wow this road is busy! Had to pull over to the left going north & walk across the road so left the juniors in the camper while the Big Fuzzys did this one. TFTC
We chose the nice shady layby here to stop for a picnic lunch. There was even the bonus of a cache nearby! Interesting history on the plaque. Thanks.
