I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.
Will try another 1 Duncan did find it first - that is geohubby, and he beat me to it. Also the first name on the new log paper, so there's another first.
A quick find. All safe and dry.
Thanks for the placement, and personalizing this one.

Talked to neighbour and it appears this has gone missing when pruning was done on the tree
It was a nice find i put some cool small stuff inside and theres a small post it note log book
It was awesome to find this but when I found it there were giant ants on it.
Find number #8 for me. This was a pretty cool one. Started thinking I was never gonna find it but found it just before giving up. Tftc
4th cache for the day at 11:43. This one was a little bit off the trail but I had looked at the cache page before and it made me laugh, so I wanted to go and find it. No sign of the neighbours or anyone else around, so I could go in and have a good search, and located the cache after a bit of feeling around. All good here. 
TFTC!
TFTC!Finally managed to find the time to turn this DNF from years ago into a smiley. Not too busy here today. TFTC
thanks to the neighbour who watch us find it for the hinds lol didn’t notice we were being watched at first
Couldn’t even start to search as onlooking neighbours were heating on their balcony looking straight at GZ. Will return .
Last cache of the day and time to head home almost. Back here for this other previous DNF, not sure why though. I headed to exactly the same place, and checked the same places and there was the cache easy as to find. Definitely checked there last time and there was nothing found. Either some mischief or another finder had located that day (though no log evident). Anyway, all good now and replaced as per hint. T F T C G_2.
An unexpected lull in the work expected of me for the day meant I was able to get out and about for some exercise and a leg-stretch before knuckling back down later in the day. Despite the terrible weather on the day of howling Nor-Easterly winds and smatterings of rain showers I managed to stay dry, and on my feet. 16 cache finds, a few DNFs recorded and a couple of previous DNFs redeemed as found this time. Thanks to all COs.
In line with the NZ Geocache Reviewers guidance on what Covid Level 3, Part 1 looks like, geocaching IS permitted, but there are not to be any events or any new listings. It seems the NZ Covid website has failed to maintain pace with Lockdown level amendments and changes and is still lumping Geocaching in with Orienteering and other gathering type activities.

Nothing found by me here despite an extensive search with eyes and hands at GZ. Not sure it's there after clearing lots of leaves out and still drawing a blank
Took some time but that was more trying to avoid creepie crawlies than not being able to find it. Didn't look very ladylike as I extracted myself from GZ, but there weren't many Muggles about to watch me.
Out with NZ Travellers, NewlynFam and laval for a walk from Long Bay to Devonport (although we only made it to Takapuna as we ran out of time with all the stopping along the way 
).
We thought we might have to skip this one due to the amount of muggles, particularly of the little kind, running around the very large tree. Looked at the hint to see if it might help and that in addition to the distance we still needed to go pointed us behind - woohoo we are in with a chance!
Quick find due to the good hint.
Thanks for the cache.

In training for the Tongario Crossing and we deiced along with Keylev, Laval and NewlynFam we would walk the Long Bay to Takapuna coastal walk as practice and of course get some caches on the way.
OOOO NOOOOO MUGGLES!!!! Thankfully they weren't at GZ as first anticipated. A quick search and we had the cache in hand.

TFTC! It's a cool park by the beach.
The log was full, so I put a small piece of paper in it.

Not sure how this took me 10 minutes to find when its sitting right in the open. I think its because I read the first 2 words in the hint and not the whole thing! TFTC (I didnt sign log because of covid but I took a photo of the log)
After a nice walk, but two DNFs at Centennial Park, Miss Four and I came down to Campbell's Bay to visit the playground, and find one cache today at least. Thanks!
I remember coming here before and searching in all the places the hint fit without finding the cache. When I came back today, I searched all these places again, but then expanded a bit and eventually found the cache. TFTC.
Eventually found it - neighbour helpfully asked if we'd found it as we looked so guess it's a popular cache
TFTC managed to find it at dusk even. Well camouflaged. Hint is whilst facing the bridge not away from it.
Has anyone ever thought about making a GIFF about this? The most hilarious FTF ... Thanks for sharing this log
When we were planning our caching tour for today, this cache gave us a good laugh. What a funny log entry from Duncan. No doubt, Duncan found it first. 
Nice hide as well, good hint. Thanks for hiding and maintaining.

We decided Campbell's Bay was a good place for a walk today, nice views, a pretty coastal walk and of course some geocaches to find. We parked up near GZ and the park was surprisingly empty, this meant a perfect time for a grab. Upon heading to GZ we soon spotted what seemed like an appropriate place.
We made the grab, signed the log and replaced the cache, and as we were leaving one group of Muggles arrived from the beach and another group parked up in a car nearby, seems like timing was on our side. Interesting place, I did not know penguins swam around here. #894

Out with family for a walk on the beach while the cuzzies brisket finishes off in the smoker. Grabbed this cache unseen with the nephew, despite the neighbours over the bridge having a party and the park being very busy. TFTC!
Out with Merlot58 on a sunny Spring day to collect a few caches on the North Shore. MrsJAG found this one in the first place she looked!
After an initial panic thinking the tree had been chopped down it took a deep breath, read the clue and was rewarded. Nice day with RuthHide.
Duncan may have found it first, but we didn't follow. Being Autumn, there were lots of leaves around, so maybe we missed it in the clutter.
Hidden in the big tree, we found the cache. We put it back where we found it tftc
