Still fabricating a replacement,have been quite busy with other things but should be up soon
is this one likely to be up and running in the next few days? would love to find it while I am here in TA until Sunday 
Looks like it is missing. Hunted for quite a while both behind the metal. Roses. As well the natural roses which are quite pruned at the present. See photo
Found the paper on the grass, no container in sight. Will replace in the next few days and hang in the roses.
This was pretty cool. Lived here for a while and never knew about it I loved this cache
I loved this cacheHave to be a giant to reach this one. Sorry couldn't put it back exactly where I found it as I'm not tall enough 
but did my best so is very close and in the same co-ordinates. First visit for Julia's White Car.

Sunday afternoon drive, not a good time to geocache on a main road. Had to wait and wait for a break in traffic to get cache once we found it.
Logged together with Tarkal on our New Zealand tour. Our plans is to go by campervan; starting from Auckland and ending up in Christchurch 25 Days later. During taht time we will see a lot of New Zealand and hopefully find caches in the interesting places, and maybe some caches between 
.
This was a tricky one when we aproached from the wrong direction, after a better serach effort the container was soon in our hands, logged and replaced.
Thanks for the cache.

Found caching with alpenmilch80 on day #3 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.
Stopped by to smell the roses and bonus, a cache!
Thanks!

My second day on a cache run to Taranaki together with Slieschke. Today the goal was to explore the Forgotten World Highway and to make our way back to Auckland. We decided to take a longer break in Hamilton to help celebrating its 150th birthday with fireworks and a Time Warp. Quick find when we located the roses. TFTC
Out on a walk and saw this, so decided to find it.
Not too hard, and quite a pleasant walk.

The first day of School Holidays... On a mission with Gap (of Fap and Gap) to re-trace steps to Raglan. Lost a gps unit along the way, so we're hoping to find it at one of last weekends' cache finds... We're cache hunting as we go.
I had thought about doing this cache on a previous visit but was under the impression that I had to go into the premises to find it. This turned out to be much simpler than I thought... a quick find. TFTC.

Out for the day, heading to an evening meeting in Hamilton it was time to clean up solved puzzles and multi's that were spoiling our smilie face map, and grab a few trads on the way.
A ha, Mr S spotted it from the car, but as it was evening rush hour in Te Awamutu had be very careful how he retrieved and replaced.
Thanks cashkids, we will be back soon to clean up the rest of TA.

sighted as soon as stepped out of car. lucky to stop where we did. beautiful Roses. and neat to know about the twin city. TFTC.
nice easy find, thank you. roses are beautiful. nice to read about story of twin town, learn some thing new every day.
Fast found, but no log possible, due to full logsheet. And the ones I had, were all to large for this container.So fotolog only. TFTC
Only DNF for the day. Searched all over the location. No sign of anything. I'm either going blind or it was not there.
Great location for a micro though.

Last of four caches on a stop-off in Te Awamutu late this afternoon. Was fooled a bit at first by the hint but Mrs agcnz who was with me had some good reasons as to why it would be unlikely to be where I was looking. I then put brain into gear and the cache was found quickly. Signed log, TFTC and for the interesting write-up.
Last one of six caches, 2 hr walk around Te Awamutu. I was here for Daffodil Show, my chauffeur was the Chief Judge, and I filled in time by walking round. Quick find. TFTC.
Easy find because I sat in the van and watched the geeks and their mother do the searching which they cottoned onto quickly. TNLN Thanks
It was just starting to rain, but that's good for the roses anyway! Grandson Jabberstott getting the hang of this Geocaching quickly. He was on muggle duty after he spotted it so I could retrieve and replace. Good fun thank you.
I didn't know what flower you meant! [?] but I soon found it in a sneaky place 
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
A quick night time find on our way to Hamilton, from Waitomo. Thanks for the cache!

Great cache, initially drove right past the monument but on the way back spotted it. TFTC
4th find.
If this is what caching is all about - muggles, great clue, clever container and a wee bit of history, then I am hooked!

Clever hide! Been in Te Awamutu this afternoon picking up a few more caches for my 'Learner's Licence' challenge.
Nice hide and cleaver hint. The muggley nature of the location added to the enjoyment. TFTC. Completed as a park and grab while visiting TA for an hour or two.
