Found it despite the fact it is now archived - was working from an outdated PQ. The container is still sound - but he is right it does look like rubbish - if I was someone picking up litter around the place it would be easy to mistake it. TFTC (462)
a bit squashed needs a better container and you can see it from the rd a bit wet ans bag is broken looks like rubbish
Can no longer maintain, so archiving.
Thanks to all who visited and the info about the origins of the sign.

Made a quick find, though more in the middle now. We see that the cache has been archived between our finding and logging. Can't say we saw the same problems as the previous Finder on the same day. Thanks.

Interesting reading the history of this spot. Should have been a 2 second find, but when faced with several options, I will always choose the very last one 
Found with Mporokosa. Once again had to use my GPS as a mobile ph to distract passing muggles. TFTC
I must look like a local-A car stopped and asked directions to the footy field. Couldn't help them so they took off and I found the cache! SL and thanks
Out this way in the late evening for a friends birthday tea. Before heading home stopped for a couple caches....this being one of the lucky ones. Quick find under the cover of darkness...thanks.
Took longer than it should due to a lady and a dog that wanted to sniff at everything (the dog, not the lady!!)
A quick find. I noticed a number of these signs on the roadside between here and Oxford. TFTC
Crossed the road to make an easy find, but before the log was signed, some slow walkers appeared, so I put it in my pocket and went around the corner to sign it. Replaced without further problems. SL. TFTC.
found with eddie3576 and yadaMe

Located cache quite quickly. Very busy location and not easy to be nonchalant remaining unnoticed as one searches. Someone asked for the history of Bells. Information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Branch,_New_Zealand Bells was one of the small sidings or station with loading ramps. Driving from Rangiora towards Oxford there are a number of remnant buildings and old track foundations, bridge abutments and so on.

Very interesting little triangle of Reserve, quiet despite quite a lot of traffic.

Have replaced cache container and logbook, as the old one had rusted thru.
Now a 60ml screwtop container, containing logbook, pencil and sharpener. It's a bit of a tight squeeze, so have put the sharp pencil end into the sharpener to make it fit better.

Not sure if this was a cheat or not. LOL
I was out for a cycle ride and had my GPS with me because I wanted to finish Bald Ed's Tour de Poynter cache before riding out this way.
Did not intend to do any more caching, but was passing this spot and remembered seeing a Cache come up for here....
I did not have the co-ordinates, but just stood round and thought "Now... where would I hide it ?" Tried a couple of unsucessful spots and then with luck found the right one.
TNLN but thanks for this one

we grabeed a couple of cache near the main route as we passed through....good one
5/9 on a rainy Saturday afternoon caching with Streetglider NZ - nice hide - lid of container has come away but still dry and in good nick TFTC (121)
Like the name, found and replaced this one easily. Had a nice chat to a muggle lady walking her dog. She thought I was texting on my cell phone!
Nice One!!!!!!!! Have no idea to the answer of your question, but then that leaves us with our own imagination. For once Murphy's Law did not pervail. Found on the first choice. Enjoyed our afternoon in Rangiora. Well done! Thanks
The cache name made much more sense when we pulled up. Found the cache in the last spot checked. TFTC
Nice little area. I asked a local about the meaning of the name. A train station was there when there was a train line up to Oxford

1200hrs What a little beauty. When we got there it looked like every rock had been turned including the front ones. The Italian Job was here.......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
Parked my car here to start the cycling part of my geocaching tour of Rangiora. Find #2. TFTC
There was a bit of a hold up with this one due to us following the clue of another cache!!! I do not admit responsibility. TFTC
Have had family from Holland that have got us addicted. Thanks for being our very first Cache... Loving it Thanks heaps
Thanks heapsOut in Rangiora with Old Boots & Rosie. A near miss with the Postie on her bike at GZ. Quick find. TFTC
