Good walk up. The cache container has no log, pen/pencil in it. The Italian Job was here....!
Found the cache all hidden but had no log inside of it, sorry didn't have a replacement with me, TFTC
Grabbing a few caches while lounging around the beach and a spot of shopping.
After grabbing the cache then back down the beach to Speakers Corner for a beer.

clever hide in a lovely spot with a muggle sat on nearby bench quite fancy the bond villain house for sale
Rory drove the GPS and it took some convincing to get him to take the walkway from the beach, rather than straight up the cliff face! Rory also found the cache. Boys were impressed with the camo. Collected Mathmatical TB and dropped off Go, Dog, Go TB.
Our second find in NZ. Picked up unite for diabetes tb and dropped off mathematical kangaroo tb.
Nice easy find thanks. Only a couple of muggles to content with. One advised us it was dangerous to go beyond the fence.......we agreed with him and off he went - dog in tow. TFTC
Quick find byt very muddy underfoot.
Log book soaked ( Needs Replacement)
Drained the cache container as best I could.
Picked up the 2 Geocoins to continue their travels.

Quick find to drop off some TBs. Walked along here several times on the way to Browns Bay. Thanks for the cache and great hide. 
Note: Cache was seriously waterlogged and the log book is 100% saturated.
Tip to other cachers: Wear old shoes, as it was VERY muddy and wet between walkway and cache.

ca 1600 and 1700. Had a quick look on our walk north then a more searching look when we returned to fewer muggles. No luck so deciphered hint but still no luck. Regular size container should have been discoverable but we have been known to miss them previously. I'll check next time we return to Auckland.

Put us down for a DNF on this one. Searched more than 15 minutes. The hint would make one think it is to the left of the sign, but that yielded nothing.

Has improved anti-muggle camo/location updated hint a little, will see how others go before changing rating.

Found easy enough the first place I looked. Hadn't been expecting it there but, hey, a find's a find. Took Pelee Pete TB and dropped off Fishing Bug who's a similar sort of bug really. Owners heard I was going to NZ and were keen for it to travel about over here... TFTC
#498 Numbers run locally to try and reach that next milestone!! Nice quiet Sunday. Excellent camo, nearly missed it. - Sth Africa key ring + TB Pelee Pete. SL. TFTC.
Whoa!!! After a few rainfalls this one was slip sliding away. Recovered after much mud being added to my footwear. However, all the contents were dry, and I took with me a rather neat whistle that I replaced with a South African key chain (found in Melbourne). After logging the find I walked a little way south to admire the view from Brownsy's Walk. The cache was replaced with much slipping and sliding. TFTC.
Finally sorted this one out...easy when you think about it but can't think too well with that sniper pointing at me. TFTC
Easy find in a very picturesque spot. This cache had been found twice before us today! A busy time but then it is school holidays.
Found nice and easy, lovely view, grandma had visited this spot many a time, now she knows the secret it holds. Last one for the day as it's getting cold and dark. t4tc
No problems finding this one. Actually, Martin found it. He has an eye for danger 
A quick find after a steep climb! Good views of the beach on the way up (and an excuse for a rest!). TNLN
Worth coming here for the view, had a chat with the next door people out on their drive. TFTC
Came the long way up and rewarded with splendid views during the climb. Cache rather exposed so spotting it was easy., managed to adjust the undergrowth to hide a little more. Care needed when replacing. TFTC
Lept out of the car, spread out in different directions but overall stick fairly close to the sign and fence.GOOD LUCK
bit of a mission 2 find as sum1 gave us the wrong clue so she could find 1st haha
Marvelous houses at GZ, had a good look around, got the cache without a problem. Decided to buy me a lotto ticket [^] grabbed TB - TFTC
Wow - the house have changed a bit since I last walked down here (about 20-25yrs ago) were just batches then. After a run of micro caches recently it was great to see something larger TFTC. - Gingerbread man coin + hair clips.
Was out and about today at the Browns Bay santa parade and thought we would do some caching before it all kicked off. Fun walk but sadly went to retrive the geocoin from the cache only to find it missing. On the visit we dropped off the Gingerbread Geocoin.
After initially getting close to cliff edge, back tracked and found it quickly, TFTC

Just checked today, its still there but had been moved a little out of reach, thanks for checking on it
Out with Glyn and BackPAQer today to see how many caches three guys can find powered only by Wild Bean Cafe coffee and ham rolls. The weather was wet but the spirits were high.
Took a bit of looking but found in the end.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.
