No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Confirmed missing - Will return with a new container and perhaps a new location...

Disabled as it sounds like it has been muggled - Will check soon...

i think its been muggled plz check

No luck. May need maintenance

No luck here

Didn't find

Sneaaaaaky tftc

Looked for a while and found nothing at arms length but mosquitos.

Looked around but couldn't find it.
Lots of bricks though

EM+1

Went for a long search up the hill and couldn't find it. Just reread the description and see that we may have taken the extended arms length too far. Ah well, maybe next time.

DNF - only ting we found was lots of mosquitos

Took paigewithers to the cache site as she had doin it previously. Almost certain it has been muggled as it was not where she found it and I have searched all around

Looked for this for a solid hour and no luck. Compass was jumping and I was not in the right footwear. Hasn't been found in over a month so may need a check.

Took the dino replaced with otter

Found with nz1 and gbnz early in the morning when not busy. Great hide, Tftc.

Found with GBNZ and GLAD-NZ. Nice spot for a cache. Cache was mostly visible when found. TFTC

Took the wrong track and ended up no where near cache. Got there in the end and spotted straight away as not covered well. Tftc

We first went to a flute hole pipe and then came back down to find the flute hole tree. Awesome walk. TFTC

#134 nice little walk amongst the tui bird song, cheers

Found it. Still has yellow sharpener and blue dinosaur. Please don't delete this as I do not write my name in logs.

Fair bit of perambulation for this one and we passed the small magnolia with huge pink flowers several times before light dawned and the cache was discovered thanks to Selesi. Difficult to believe the vehicle is naturally-created!

Second time lucky for me. I didn't thnk the watershed was a link to the other track last time, but today with boots on, I ventured down to the wee stream and up the other bank, and the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC

Took ages looking around the wrong track but found in the end. Lots of damp trinkets inside this one but I didn't have any to exchange unfortunately. Must get some. TFTC

Took the opportunity to look for this after finding a new cache nearby.

GPS was initially leading me on a wild goose chase under the trees, but eventually a quick find once it settled down.

Inside of the cache was quite damp though logbook was reasonably OK inside its bag. As it is only about three weeks since the CO's maintenance visit it looks like the moisture has penetrated quite quickly- maybe time for a new container with a better seal?

I think the terrain is more appopriately 2, and at least that if unlike me you are not built like a spider with long reach!

I was initially a bit confused over the correct approach but once you start up or down the main track the route from it is quite obvious and is unlikely to attract many muggles.

TFTC.

Found it! Needs a better description.

New logsheet...

Needs a new logsheet - Will replace next weekend...

I started from the Dunn's road end but the cache wasn't on the path I was expecting. Had to go down a slippery bank, across a stream and up the other side. Then I didn't read the instructions properly and climbed another slippery bank among a load of rubbish that looked like it had washed out of someone's garden. I blame the dodgy GPS on my phone Got there in the end although there do seem to be a lot of objects like the hint object. My arms aren't very long so couldn't reach from the path and had to climb the bank - again! Log sheet is "full" but found room at the bottom. TFTC!

Quick find in the dark this evening. TFTC

I think there is very little chance of getting sprung by any joggers on this track*. Those without "extended" arms will find climbing the bank easier. But my biggest problem is that three times my GPS insisted I was right on top of the cache in places 20m apart.

* Picture may not be an accurate representation of track

After a nearby DNF, I needed to restore some caching confidence. Took me a while to find the correct path, and where it was. You can reach it from the path, and the hint made sense in retrospect....TFTC,

My first cache. Camo painted box. The pencil had gone so I re-visited to log my find

No t on the main track Coords were great tho as was clue!

Lovely spot

What a pleasant surprise, enjoyed the secret loop in this lovely bush setting, many thanks for the cache placement.

During our holiday in NZ while visiting family we thought it would be fun to take a niece and two nephews (and their mom ) Geocaching. We were lucky to find a couple near their home. It's always big fun caching with children, especially when they know the neighbourhood and start coming up with all the spots they think the caches are at

What a wonderful secret this area is indeed! Beautiful and full of birds, that weren't shy at all!!!
TFTC!

OUT: TB world wide bolt 0C6DVQ.

#607. After walking around some of the attractive local forest reserves, it was time for a quick visit to suburbia and a few small parks. This cache was nicely tucked away down a trail that probably doesn't get walked too often. Read the hint and description and yes it is reachable from the track. Did a trackable swap, signed log and re-hid the cache. TFTC TheB0rg.

Found it based on description alone as I had no nav aid. Left trackable Lucasus Cervus PCGZX3.

TFTC.

Had previously lived in the area for 20 years and was not aware of this walk until 2 years ago. Pleasant way to get from the top to the bottom. Didn't know what a Flute tree was until we found the cache...tftc

Thanks for the cache didn't take too long to find!

Coordinates seemed to be a bit off for us so spent awhile searching the wrong area but then I read the description for some hints, cache was in hand soon after TFTC

Nice and easy thanks

Nice little walk. Had a little fantail following us - very friendly but gave no clues . Out with Bigcheese. TFTC

Interesting maze of little paths. Thanks for the cache.

Found with TregearP.

Tftc.

TFTC

Took a while but we got it. Noisy neighbourhood dog alerting everyone we were here!!

Tftc

Found it! After a bit of searching. Daughter got her first taste of treasure hunting.

Yeah our first cache thanks guys.

Found it. Nice spot. Didn't take the trackable coin. Just searching for fun.

Found on our first anniversary of caching now that the typical Labour Weekend weather passed through. TFTC!

Tried this one ages ago. Found today with Selesi on a days caching thru Moonshine Rd and Whitemans Valley. TFTC

Found with UlmusLynx out for a day scooping up caches. TFTC

cache was void of goodies so have left a few items and replaced the zip lock plastic bag. clue helped

First cache for my little brother! He loved it! Thanks

Very slippery and slidy after the rain. Lots of fun!! TFTC

Great place for a scout hall. Super cold this am. GPS leading me in circles. Had to use terrain rating to keep on track. TFTC

Love the clue especially since compass was a little confused! Thanks.

Great clue since the canopy cover had the GPS wandering. TFTC

No good in the dark and wet was going shopping so thought id have a go no good come bsck when dry and daylight

In accuracy of the GPS didn't help but after thinking properly about the hint got it

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Quick visit to a nice little track, found and signed

Harder than I thought

TFTC

Took awhile 2find but got there in the end. Lots of flute like trees

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found the track easily enough. After taking the wrong track, I back-tracked to the right track where I found the cache with no serious issues. TFTC!

GPS going wayward in the trees. Couldn't get closer that "20m".

GPS initially was pointing into the trees which had me a little confused then found the side track. Thank goodness for a torch on my phone as the light was fading quickly. Quickly found and signed. TFTC

Not one to give up, went back and found it!

TFTC

Ps. Log full and damp

Log full. Wrote in the margins. Also damp. Tftc

Surprising and charming little spot. Searched more than one hint object but when I got to the right one, the cache was visible from the track. Have re-hidden with better cover. TFTC

Lovely day for it

Log sheet is saturated

Mozzies! Contents a little damp but couldn't do anything as a couple of dogs came to check us out. Thank you

Were on track to start with. Found it easily once we were on the right track

Took us a little while due to parallel paths, but got there in the end!

Took wrong path to begin but shortcutted overland after some time looking found. Definitely don't need to leave track

Tftc

TFTC. The log sheet is very full now. Only one space left. Also box is wet inside. Dice out. Purple ball in.

Quick trip to Pinehaven to clock a handful before breakfast.

Found in the dark with ernie027 and langdonR.

Found in the dark with MissMusical and LangdonR.
Tricky with hardly any light source.

My 6th cache Followed obvious path first but when GPS said I was standing on top if it and it was nowhere I thought there may be a parallel track - and there was. Nice cache, thanks!!

However, contents of cache are very wet and most of the trinkets are not worth swapping anymore.

after missing the track twice finally found it after doing a complete circle . easy find once in the right place. TFTC

Thanks geocach this is a buzzy one alright "/

Found it, Cheers.
