Logs
A nice rest, finished my coffee from Pennys nearby, waited for all the muggles to disappear, retrieved the container and signed the log book. I used to live in Karori, its been nice to re-explore the suburb.
My Daughter has gone to a birthday at the Karori pool so I decided to go for a wander around and pick up some Karori caches.I seem to remember this cache used to be closer to library and I wasn't able to get it back then due to muggles.Today there was an old couple at GZ so I sat nearby and waited for them to move on. After about 10min they had left and I found the cache in a few seconds. Just as I returned the cache it started to rain.TFTC
Ok, so we found it. We actually found 2. Both nanos. One in the location from the hint and one within 2 meters of the first. Slightly confused. But never mind.
Having had a DNF close by, needed to find a traditional for the day, so tried my luck here. Found instantly with my first reach. Thanks boxhill
This geocach is actually the first one that I found,it took a while but I found it eventually .

I flew to Wellington today and am slowly making my way to Dannevirke. I am travelling with NZB. Greytown, back to the Hutt and Wellington are all on the agenda
Quick find and replace with no muggles around. Could not sign as the log is full. TFTC
TFTC! Second time finding this cache, as I have a new account, (My old account was Meco_YT23) anyways a lot of stealth required to find this one as there was a lot of mugles around. Duck Caches - #5
very small, my grandparent had some twesers luckly tho. halfway through log book TFTC
I had an hour to spare this afternoon so collected a few caches while in the area. A quiet Sunday afternoon and no one around. A nice quick find with plenty of room in the log sheet.

Did not see it first few mins looking but after we found it the clues made sense. But good fun and past time!
Enjoyed it though!!

I grew up in Karori on Campbell Street - only about 100 meters from this cache! It was placed in 2009 and I moved to Auckland in 2011, so for just under two years this was so close to home and I had no idea it was here.
I haven't been back in Karori since then, and I have been really wanting to see what my street and my old area look like now, so we came down here for a look around and a cache or two. This one was a very quick find in a very familiar area, even 12 years later. I have so many fond (and really clear!) memories of my time living here so it was really nice to be back.
Thanks for placing this one here
It is all fine and dry, but I signed in slot 35 of 36 so it will need a new logbook very soon.

Fairly certain this whole hide and the objects containing the hide have been moved wholesale down the road since I last attempted (dnf - had been muggled) but, looking at the rather nice redevelopment, I can see why. TFTC.
Found it! Nice simple hide. Didn't sign the log as it looked hard to get in and out.
500 finds in New Zealand!!! I've now made 500 or more finds in three countries, now I'm ready for more. TFTC
Found it with some help with kids but sadly didn't have my pen on me at the time I find it but went back and log it in
Out and about with Flowerydaze and once again to an area we were not familiar with. A nice sunny day to complete this one. A bit dismayed when we arrived to find a muggle right where we wanted to look however after killing off some time we were rewarded with the cache. TFTC boxhill.
We had already had a worry with muggles at the "Wright" Stuff cache we had found earlier in the day. This was worse as there was a muggle in the exact spot we needed to look, and he looked settled. I suggested to Talla64 we walk back to the car, and drive round the block on our way to our next target. Fortunately in those few minutes the muggle had departed and we went in quickly for the find. Lovely sunny day to be out finding a few caches. Thanks very much for the cache boxhill. Onwards now to our next target.
Really fun to find, good hints and packaging!! Would recommend to find this geocache.
A bit of patience and stealth required thanks to muggles, but a quick find by after that. TFTC. KTG
Nice and easy find with KTG. Co-ordinates are a bit off. But easy enough find. Had to wait for a muggle to get off the seat so we could look. TFTC
Out finding some caches and Adventure Labs before Wielka Sobota in Wellington event this afternoon. Easy find after a muggle moved away. I could not get the log out, I have a photo of the container. Thanks boxhill for the cache.
Hi boxhill
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Had a very long look with no muggles at night time knowing exactly what we were looking for but still couldn't find it.
That was so cool. Great spot and cleverly hidden. Sadly the canister was partially open and the log book too soggy to sign. Hopefully it will dry for the next person
Out and about with Demainiac today. A nice quick find here thanks to your hint. So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in its spot all ready for the next geo-hunter. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC
Busy place all right!
Managed to retrieve / sign/ return!
Thanks....
Library looks cool!

After passing by at a busy time of the day and deciding not to attempt then, I returned on a quiet Sunday evening. A reasonably quick find, still with some pauses for passers-by. The replacement cache. All good, tftc!
Searched and couldn’t find anything, new to this though so not exactly sure what to look for
That was challenging pretty sure where I found it is not correct spot have messaged owner but still there in approx spot for others to find.
