I stopped in to check on this cache whilst picking up another one nearby, as I'd seen that it had been disabled.
It's definitely still in place, although it was slightly exposed due to subsidence/deterioration of its original location. I've re-hidden it about 5 feet further along from where it was, in a similar, but more stable (and hopefully, more covert) location. It's now well tucked in, and should remain that way unless manually extracted.

This cache has clearly been replaced, I last searched for it before it was disabled, and it certainly wasn't there then. Very quick find, and I sharpened the pencil too.
Found it today at about 1900hrs, The cache is definitely there,the log book has logs from 2009 in it and is super dry, I recommend enabling it...TFTC!
Well, it's still sitting there, and all in good nick. Market day today - and everyone is as observant as a stone. I could have worn a gorilla suit and not been seen. Recommend un-archiving!

Cache has been muggled, and rescued by a fellow geocacher. Will replace in due course.
Took geocoin. Replaced item. Third cache.

Very quick find, and few muggles around because of the holiday. A bit obvious with the strolled with me. Cache too small to drop in any of the TBs in my bag. TNLNSL. TFTC!
Nice quick find in the dark - I'm sure this would be much more difficult during the day. TFTC #2245
Had lunch in this area as so much choice to feed a hungry hardworking cacher. A safe place to park geomovbile. Took the geocoin to go on parole.
Had to wait for some take-away eating muggles to move on, then swooped in. Left GC. All quiet here today. TFTC
We were sufficiently out of sight for this to be a quickish and stealthy find, even on a busy Saturday.

I found it sitting right out in the open, so may have been muggled or just moved from its hiding place
Too many muggles about last time here. Not so many today so could spend more time searching, Found fairly quickly.
Not many mugglers around today as it is a public holiday, easy find for the younger cache finders. TFTC.
Came late in the evening when it was dark, only problem is I couldn't see much at GZ and didn;t want to use the torch as i'd draw attention to my self. Nothing else to do than poke my and in every possible location. Got it quickly.
Wished I'd known of this hide late last year when I began caching. Had some time to kill while visiting Porirua but couldn't locate any easy and nearby caches on my mobile; yet as it turns out I was just down the road from this one. Still I've caught up with it now.
Another night time cache so not too many muggles but still busy. Took nothing - left green glittery pencil
Found quickly so didn't have to spend long searching thankfully as there were plenty of muggles around. TFTC
Found easily without a GPS. Managed to act tree-like when a car of muggles drove past slowly. TFTC.
#38 or 5/5 on our afternoon cache trip. A quick drive-by for us as we stumbled upon an unnatural collection of *****. SL TNLN TFTC!
Quick find on the second attempt (high muggle count the first time) with few muggles about on a reasonably fine winters Sunday afternoon. 50th find of my fledgling geocaching hobby. TFTN
Jr taybee has this own account how am logging this old find under his new Username (Jr taybee) was log as part of taybee team 
have this one on the list to do there was no one around to day so had to do it tftc #0548
Found it on our 2nd attempt to look for it. It was a bit exposed, so covered it a bit better with a couple of stones

Found at dusk. Relatively muggle-light and the difficult lighting helps with camouflage. Evolution GC out, GeoGuitar GC in. TFTC.

Tried to put in a TB but too small. You'd think that this would get muggled but I guess if you're not looking for anything you won't find it.

Fairly quiet this afternoon, although junior Paua Ranger did nearly bump into a policewoman as she emerged from GZ! Thank goodness for kids, she didn't bat an eyelid! Left Pirates of Harriman IV GC
Not the smartest move to look for this cache on a late shopping night. But managed to sneak in and find no problems. TFTC Cheers!
Got out of the car, headed one way, then noted the numbers climbing (GPS had not sync'd from the car stop)
About turn, head the other way. Sent in the advance party, as a dazzle jacketed guy had spied us. He approached me, and asked if I was lost!
Aha, dazzle jacket states "Porirua City Council", thanks for being so helpful, but not sure I could advise you there was a cache so close to your front door!
He walks on, and my Nut, reaches for the cache, success! A very bold placement indeed.

1552 Was mucking around and shouldve read the hint sooner then it wouldve been a much faster find. TFTC
Managed to negotiate a diversion plea and escaped on bail without too much periodic detention. TFTCSL
Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 392. No problems in the evening of a very wet day. Thanks.
Had to walk right on past GZ as there was an argument going on between two car drivers at the exit to the garage. When they went I snuck back and was able to find the cache after a short search.

Didn’t get caught at GZ…. Lots of naughty muggles hanging out next door.

A quick find, and with almost nobody in sight after 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, easy to retrieve and replace. Signed log, TFTC!
Happened to be out and about in the neck of the woods this evening, so stopped by and caught this one.

What's the fun thing to do when you're in town and there's a cache nearby? Go hunting for the cache of course! 
Nice wee hide. No muggles about when we visited that made it a quick and easy retrieval. Thanks Barri-Ster.

She was glad that we were able to find a few caches along the way. Actually she sat and waited while this was found. Luckily the GPS was bang on so it was a quick pick up even with muggles all around.
Thanks

haha sooo funny...first and last time you will catch me sneaking around there!!!!! I liked the title!!
Drove past at lunch, too busy. Came back late afternoon with the 'decoy' kids who decided to have a play around the GZ - nice and easy, SL, TFTC. -spinning top, -tb, +skeleton, +fly.
Driven past too many times - stopped today as there seemed to be slightly less activity in the area. All good.
nice hide and easy find. waited for the vege market muggles to move on. -stickers + spin top. SL. TFTC.
Good little hiding spot and an interesting object. Made a night visit and no muggle problems encountered of course.

A quick find on my way to Bunnings this afternoon. A well placed cache, liked the hidding place, had no trouble with muggles by taking the right approach route. TNLN SL 1530hr TFTC
Thought we could grab a quick ftf but ended up with a stf one hour after the ftf... Quick and easy find.. Thanks for the cache..
FTF (15:30) Whoopee!!!!! 
, was working on the computer all day getting some paper work done and saw this cache come up, needing a break from the computer, hoped into the car and off I went, knew exactly where this cache was due to the fact that I use to come to this spot every Saturday morning for the Flee markets, good time to get the cache as no muggles were around as it was cold and being a Sunday afternoon, found cache within seconds, TFTC TNLNSL (768)
