The blocks have indeed been taken away. I Had a look around for the cache container but zilch. It's had a good run with over a 100 finds but it's time has come. Archiving now to free up this nice spot for someone else. Thanks to everyone who took the time to find it.
Quick, easy find.
No muggles ... weather was too nasty, and it was nearly night.

Found after a brief search by the light of the torch and then log signed by the light of the full moon. No muggles at this time of the evening after a day spent in the office. Popped back into its hiding spot and left gift wrapped
for the next cacher to find. TFTC

I love NZ xxxxTook geo-Gran to visit this one with her grandaughter's TB when we were paying another special visit to the Riding for the Disabled. Very slippery on the northern approach. Lovely day for it.TFTC.
easy find. 7 year old lead the way to this one. said hello to the horses too. swapped a wristband for a plastic coin which age 5 wanted to know why it didnt have a wrapper on it!(he thought it was a chocolate coin).
Found with Tramper Ted. This sort of structure is perfect for a hide - and satisfying to claim a find, thanks boxhill.
Liked the cache name and the hide to go with it. Keen to come back here with the bikes. TFTC
Got here to early for most people at 6.30 in the morning. Soon had the cache in hand.
Came here a few months ago but couldn't find it. Quick find today by Miss Paua Ranger. Took gorgeous hair clip and sheep TB and left some tumbled paua buttons. TFTC!
Enjoyed a nice wander around to this one and the nearby multi with not too many muggles around this morning. No problems tracking down the cache and though I would make it a little more chocka blocka with a GC

TFTC easy find for me but the boys were flummoxed, great treasures in this one - pebble and solider +hair clip and strap
As soon as we got on the right side of the blocks, it was a quick find for StreetWalker. Not too boggy at the moment, but the grass is longish and quite wet after the recent rain. Love the nicely stacked blocks - wonder if they will be pressed into service at some time?

Find #439 - The 19th of 24 finds on an amazing geobiking journey, where we parked the car at Petone Station, and caught the train up to Upper Hutt Station, and then rode back down again with our bikes! All fun. We'd been here thrice before, most notably to get examine, get co-ordinates for, and place a segment of our Hutt River Confluence Trail multi, we'd just never had the time to get around to searching for this one. It was soon found after about one minute of searching. Cheers boxhill. SL TFTC.

Found while caching with 'chelleopuff. She has now registered as a user but didn't sign log book at the time. SL TFTC
Did a bit hunting about for this one and turned it up in the end. Cache was in order, and rehidden safely as found after signing the log. TNLN
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Felt like the new kid on the block after I nearly disturbed the locals late at night. Mother Bird kept a watchful eye on me from her nest till I turned a corner in my search.
Yay! Found it! Almost missed it but then it suddenly made sense. Took cookie boy and put in purple monster.
Please note: Careful of the nest and baby birds near GZ...no need to disturb nest, cache not where nest is.

tftc. next finder might have to put the pen lid on. i put it on top of the container.
Great location for a GC. TNLN/SL Not to many walkers around as it was raining. TFTCCache disabled while I think a few things through.
No more finds after the 29th accepted until further notice. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Easy find today, had actually tried yesterday but only looked one side and had wondered whether or not it had been lost as I new there had been many more blocka there before. But after checking when last found realised it must still be there. Been out and about enjoying the fine days. TFTC

#100 Thank for this Cache today I made 100! My aim for the weekend was to hit this milestone. -TB
The horse in the next paddock was very interested in what I was doing. Either that or just wanted some extra attention. TFYTC #1151
Kids also enjoyed climbing on the blocks (as did the wife I think!). Quick find after what I think was a fellow cacher (under 10) made a quick dash to the cache and hoped we didn’t see . Enjoyed some time at the river with the dog.

TFTC1596 Nice quick find, had to refrain geopuppy from trying to eat the chickens! TFTC
Found after getting a KFC to eat by the river, then strolled along playing with the frisbee which came with the kids meal.
Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 186. No dramas with tis one. Thanks.
Excellent spot. As with previous comment, the trail around the site do give away the hide. The hint did not help. Took bungy cord, left plastic sheep.
This spot has changed since I was last here. Someone has done some heavy duty tidying up. Easily found due to cacher trails... does this mean I earn my tracking merit badge? TNLN and TFTC.
Not too many muggles around so were able to search with relative ease, but it did take us longer than we thought. NINO, TFTC
2.40pm. Quick find. Spotted by Grand son.

2nd cache of the day,found at 1.55pm rain had just stopped when i went out on the search for this one ,was a bit of stop and start with a bit of stealth as the muggles came out in force, found in the end though,signed log and was of on my next hunt TFTC
Was a bit rainy and soil a bit w t but not too soggy. Oh, and nice purple pen. LNTN TFTC
We also found this a bit easy. But it was a nice day so we still enjoyed the 'find'.
A quick find on a brief stop-off on the way to Upper Hutt this afternoon. Lots of places to look but fortunately the "geocacher's instinct" let me recognise the hiding-place pretty quickly. Signed log, TFTC.
