I am amazed that this one lasted over seven years in its hiding spot. But, it sounds like it is gone again and so it is time to archive it.

Cache for the day time. I was quite tired, so I left work early. Had planned to get this cache yesterday, but with a different route home due to errands, was set on it for today.

However, I left my GPS at home, and phone was playing up!! I knew the hint, but had no coords, so I started searching every hint item - nothing...

Luckily after about 10 min the phone remembered itself, and we were off!! Then I relised I had been close in my estimate of location - but not close enough!!

Consec caching day #1131

TFTC!! Smile

Cute little surprise
 
16-Sep-15
Was in Christchurch for work today so just had to grab a cache on the way back to the airport. Parked up and wandered to GZ, noted some muggles playing rugby in the field but as luck would have it I was able to spot the hidey hole very quick and barely missed a step as I made the grab and kept walking to a quiet corner to sign the log. Such a lovely spring afternoon today and would have liked to do more caching but have a plane to catch, will make up for it at the mega next monthWink

Carried out the same maneuver on the way back and no one was any the wiser, thanks for bringing me to this lovely park!

Second find but first time was muggled. This tine logged early in am, just got it back in hidey place and council garden staff asked what we were up to. Left her checking out the website on her smartphone. TFTC
 
15-Sep-15
Found with TregearP. Managed to attract the attention of the Council worker although although not to the location of the cache per se. Had a great chat, and potentially a new geocacher in the making.

All in good order, TFTC.

Thanks for sharing the interesting history of this park. The homestead would surely have been impressive and beautiful. The cache was an easy find as I spotted it peeking out at me as I approached. Replaced it in a more hidden fashion. TFTC

Visiting from Montana, U.S. Watching my nephew play rugby, they won! I had down loaded Christchurch caches so fired up the GPS and this one was just 70m away. Walked over and made the find. Little water in the cache so tipped it out. Log book was a little damp but still signable. Many thanks for this great cache.

On our way to play mini golf we popped in to grab this cache. Never stopped here before, minis asked if we could come back 1 day, I didn't see the point now this cache is a smiley face. Told them we'll go find another park with caches we don't have, smiles all round! TFTC

Suffering a bit from the damp but still there. Added a small swap since the cupboard was bare and the cache size can tolerate small items. TFTC.
 
30-Apr-14
It was time to head back to the ranch but not before one more find of course. Wink After Upoj finally settled down, it led me straight to the stash at 22:20.

The insides of the cache were pretty wet but the logbook was still dry enough to write in at this stage. It might need some TLC in the not too distant future though.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Looking4thebroc.
