First cache of the day not found. Kinda disapointed. Will be back to try again.....
Looked all over the place even where it shouldn't be and nothing. Been up two or three times looking for it but this was the only one I spent serious time looking for it. Any idea if it's still around?
Nope, I couldnt find it. If I had of known that you where in the carpark, I would have asked for some help!! I found what looked like the container, empty of course and a little away from the hint. I might have been looking in the wrong place as the cords had me 15m away from the hint.
Nice cool day out at the Hunuas, still quite a few people about but this was easy enough to obtain. TFTC

Located it easily, but we had some problems to get the box into our hands. It laid very deep in its hiding place.
Thank you for the cache and greetings from Germany, kesteri

The falls certainly were a busy place today and so had to time the retrieval and replacement of the cache.

Cheers for the cache.

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 875. Thanks.
Hmm. No sign of the cache, but then when we arrived at GZ and read the description properly we weren't too keen anyway. Serves us right, really!
Shame to waste a good location on a small cache that you have to go scrabbling around in the mud to retrieve when there are so many high quality placement possibilities in the area.

Given that finding this cache involved getting my clothes dirty I flagged it away. Next time I will wear old clothes!
Thought this one would be alot easier to find based on the terrain rating. Good thing Caleb was prepared to climb under the deck and do army crawl to retrieve. TFTC

The falls were smaller by half from the last time I was here.
Approaching the cache, 40 meters to go, 30, 20, 19.... 30, 50, 104! GPS was completely confused. Decided to go on the 19m point, and used the clue to narrow it down.
This finishes off Hunua!

Brilliant day to be out for some Father’s Day caching... No problems with the find, once the muggles departed GZ that is. Awesome views, as always. Took heaps of photos.

Mugglemania on a day like this, but thankfully the cache can be retrieved rather quickly.

Found mid-afternoon and not too many people around thankfully. Plenty of water going over the falls - spectacular!
Many thanks
Many thanks
Thanks sp8sm8 for putting it back in a reachable location. It was never my intention to make it a difficult find.
Might increase the difficulty for the muggle factor.

After TT's log we approached this with trepidation, but we were early enough to beat the crowds, so a good search was possible.
Eventually it was spotted in the torch beam, but couldn't quite reach it. By lying on the wet deck and with arm at full stretch, I could just get my fingers to it, and eventually managed to move it enough to make the grab.
The difficulty didn't warrant that sort of hide so we didn't put it back in such a mean spot.

Had to out wait the tourists taking multiple photos, then had an extensive search. Area is fairly yucky and didn't much enjoy trying to locate the evasive container. After over half an hour gave up and went looking for a bigger hide.
Loved this location, petty someone decided to also use cache location to stash a dirty nappy away, not a nice find at first. Thank you
Second 2nd to find of the new Hunua caches. A picture-postcard view of the falls from this lookout. After several weeks of fine frosty winter weather there was far less water going over the falls than in the cache page photo. A pretty impressive drop all the same. Thanks.

Called in to grab this on on the way back from the Wairoa Lookout claiming another FTF for the day. A school group were making rafts and floating them in the pool under these beautiful falls. Fortunatly they were too preoccupied to notice what I was doing. TFTC
