Went by at lunchtime today to replace the cache and the council gardeners were working in the garden beside GZ. Will try and place tonight.
Could owner please check to see if this cache is still in place? We had a pretty good look and found nothing!
Our final cache before heading home to Canada. We've been on a bus tour of New Zealand with rellies from WA, Australia (Hazelhope), and have thoroughly enjoyed your country and the caches too. TFTCaching'
PS: We're logging ten TBs through this cache as 'visitors', before they head off to Fiji and then Canada.

Quick little find with new Geocaching friend, Okay Crokay (who found the cache first!), and ScruffyNZ!, Took a lovely pic from beside Cache GZ. TFTC!! 
strange cache contents! think muggles may have discovered and just added trash thinking it was simply rubbish! lol
log is a bit sad, pieces torn off and the like, but seems to be all there. quick find for the new cacher! T4TC!

Went out early to catch the sunrise on the 1st day of the new year - GPS signal not working so found through logic and experience. Thanks for my first cache of 2011!

Our first find of 2011 - a nice park and an easy hide. The log is a bit of a mess... maybe it needs a new log for 2011 - an easy maintenance job during lunchtime?!

Rain rain go away, come again another day. Despite the weather damping spirits we... Nice hide. Thank you.
Not lunchtime, but more of after dinner cache for us tonight. We dinned in the city, and walked across the park to this one.
I suspect it was a lot easier than at lunchtime.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found after dark after a long day on the road from Tauranga which had yielded around 47 caches.
I imagine this one would be far harder at lunchtime anyway.

Have always considered this would be a great place for a cache, thanks for putting one here for us. TNLN. (Cache log is very wet as the plastic bag is ripped and may need replacement)
Last one for the day. Easy find after dinner at a packed Italian place. No 35 on our caching trip to Northland. TFTC
A quick find before a nice cinema-evening.
Thanks

Didnt stop for lunch ourselves but did stop and watch the shoppers and picnickers. TFTC
at 13:16 on our trip round northern New Zealand from Brisbane, Australia.
TFTC Grobyc. The cache is fine.

Great display of flowers which we would have missed if not for geocaching. Quick find on a low muggle day. TFTC
found this in the evening when there were no muggles around. A nice spot, but raining a bit, so no stopping to admire the surroundings today.
With all the heat and dry it has not been good weather for treefrogs but with this bit of damp its time for the frog to hunt.
Quickly found the cache, very busy down below but nobody near gz. I See the nearby waterfall is a bit dry.

Huge apologies for late post - and my date may not be quite corrected. Visited this on fine summer's day on way home from holiday further north. Kidkiwi was insistant that we manage a couple! Easy find, although glad to have lookouts for muggles... TFTC
found at 9.50am while on bicycle ride from Cape Reinga to Bluff ,nice spot for a quick break TFTC
had to wait until some muggles left, nice terraces and a nice lookout of the carpark
Great spot after dinner as well - no one around

A very nice park in the middle of the city. My grandmother used to take my sisters and me to this park to play on the playground more decades ago than I care to remember! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Great place for a lunchtime stop on our travels around the area. Easy find with the help of the clue T4TC
was able to do this one with out the clue as i forgot to bring it along whoops. very nice park to look around in
#62 good view of the surrounds today although the park was quiet. played on the nearby swings whilst we ate our lunch from the local bakery.
Found by the Smith family on a pleasant afternoon cache hunting. Muggle central here with Christmas shopping in full swing so it was difficult to look for the cache without attracting attention. TFTC.
Nice place for a cache, lots of planting going on at the moment so will keep looking great. TFTC
On a caching weekend to Whangarei. Once we negotiated the roads and deciphered the map, we found our way. Late Sat Afternoon, not really any souls about. Quick find. Very nice park. Am sure it is lovely for lunch. SL. TFTC.
We arrived headed to GZ, and what do ya know, muggle. Decided to come back. Second time around, ya no muggles, Signed and replaced with no probs at all. Thanks for the adventure on this one! TFTC!

Was spending the night in town and this one was very close to my motel.
Was getting some diner when passing, so no lunchtime stop for me.

Thanks for making me take note of this spot. I have been parking here for years and never bothered to really look at the park, it is great and I'm sure we'll bring our Subway here to eat in the future like we did today
Found during our drive north from Auckland, having just arrived in NZ yesterday. A lovely area.
1.30pm. Quick find while waiting for Noeline who was looking at dresses!
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
A fun place to enjoy a snack. Another quick find with MissingLinx in a rather scenic spot. TFTC.
When caching at night take a torch & find out where the light is on the GPS. This would make it so much easier grovelling around parks in the dead of night...just finding the path was a challenge! TFTC
Check out the silver beet planting in the garden - it looks fab. They've done a great job of this urban park. TFTC
