Probably not hard to find but rummaging around in the bush was too scary as a woman alone lol! Good luck to everyone else
Finally found the cache after a little hunt. Had a crack in the top so had water in it and soggy logbook. Might need a replacement container and logbook
Almost couldn't find with the the foliage on top Also, cache is quite damp inside. TFTC!
A but wet but found it in the end. Couldnt write in it as it was drenched. Pls dry it if u can
Great walk out to the point pick this one up on the way pass A bit muddy but KGD got it in the end Thanks
Up for the day with ABCDF4 and eyespyben. Enjoyed the walk around this reserve. And so did all the dogs with their owners. Had this one in hand before the others arrived. Thank you for the placemen.
Relatively dry under the trees but the mud got me as I exited and almost face planted. Yep, log is wet but still managed an autograph. Thought I had packed some extra plastic bags
Great spot and great hide. The log is too damp to write on so I took a photo instead. TFTC
Nice easy find, container is very damp after all the rain, not sure the zip lock had been sealed
A quick find while exploring this part of Auckland we hadn‘t seen before. Thanks for leading us here.
Great cache. Thanks for the lovely walk - a great detour on our way home from MOTAT.
Note: contents are wet.

Easy find. Needs re-taping/new container as contents are all saturated and sluggy
M24: starting off today with a nice and easy find, slowly but surely making our way to 1800 finds for Team Sharkbait.
A nice location too, a lot of dog walkers out today. TFTC.

Was going crazy from being inside all day in classes and then writing a big paper... and just a bit stressed at the moment anyway... so at 4pm I decided enough was enough and I was going for a walk. Even though it was raining. This was where I ended up, just before 6pm, totally soaking wet from the rain but happy to be outside. Cache was a very quick find which was great. The log was soaked, but I couldn't do much about that sorry 
Otherwise all fine. Took ages to get home since the bus ran very late and there was heaps of traffic. No one else crazy enough to go for a walk in that!
Thanks for the cache! (#1609)

Thank goodness for the hint as GPS was swinging around. Then it was an easy, if muddy, find. Popped in here on the way home from work. Will definitely return when I have more time. Tftc
We’re up in Auckland for the day to tackle some particular geocaches. We walked out to the lava reef to complete the earth cache so I picked this one up on the way out. Great spot TFTC
This was my first geocache!! I found it with my best friend. We were about to give up when I spotted it in the rocks. So hidden lol
I’m scared of dogs but I’m also addicted to geocaching. Bit of a conflict but geocaching won on the day.tftc
Out walking the geohounds and checked in to see that there was a cache nearby! Didn't have a pen, so photographed the log. TFTC
Geo-kids were occupied at camp today so NZ Iceman and I took the opportunity to go for a wander, pick up some caches and finish off with a picnic in an awesome spot with a beautiful view. Had a great day!
Have been to this park years ago with our previous dog Rosie so it was nice to come back and visit again. Wondered about the hint but all was clear when we got to the right spot - thankfully a quick find.

A fun find on our walk this evening. Didn't have a pen to sign log, so just signing digitally today. Tftc.
Took a wrong gate to start and ended up heading through the bush and ending the wrong side of a fence, duh. Hopped over and headed in for the search. After tapping my white stick a few times I found the cache as per hint, and all was good. Thanks 10centcoin.
A day of 2 halves today. First up I was out Westmere way for a stroll on, along and around the reef and walkways as well as doing the new Adv Lab out that way. Nice to avenge a previous DNF too. Was up good and early, even for a weekend day, and out the door just after 0600. Such a great time to be out, traffic was minimal as were the local walkers and muggles. Back home for 0900 and breakfast. Later in the day I got rid of the green waste, then headed on the the new Pub crawl Adv Labs as well as another couple of 'nearby' caches. A great day to be out and about, appreciate your hides COs.

Nice walk and find. Grand daughter replaced trackable and will put this one in next find." IT IS A RUBY" she says. Map and container are wet thanks
4yo finder soo excited. Dropped red ball and took her first Ruby (its yellow). Off to next cache to drop it. I'm soo excited, this is my first time doing trackable, bless her.
Lovely day with kids and puppy in tow. Contents a little wet but log still writeable. TFTC
Geohound loved this one. He had a great time making lots of doggy friends while we searched for the cache.
Geohound was particularly impressed that he found "a little white dog", and he kept it away from us while we found the cache. Didn't sign the log because it was a bit soggy, but took a picture of GeohoundandI holding it.
Well hidden. Thanks for the find! Container had water all inside, tipped out, but paper and plastic bag were submerged, so are a bit soggy!
Almost gave up with all the autumn leaves but found my way there in the end.
# 1851 Came here this leap day to pick up the nearby earthcache and grabbed this on the way out. What a mysterious place with all these rocks. Took a while to spot the cache, mainly cause I couldnt bend over with VentureTIM in the front pack without tipping him out.
Despite all the logs about how poor of a condition this one is in, someone has done a tidy up and it is.bone dry inside now...possibly due to the lack of rain Auckland has had recently. However a colony of Ants has taken up residence, possibly due to the crack in the lid.
A great spot, cheers for this one 10centcoin.

There were some muggles on the track so had to hang around and not look suspicious. Eventually had a moment to grab it. TFTC
Found but in poor condition as others have said. A visit from the CO wouldn’t go amiss! TFTC
Shame I’d left my spare logbooks and plastic bags back of the car as this cache really need all the old wet logs thrown away andsome TLC. Nonetheless the hint is accurate and, as ever in Auckland, the little reserves are always well worth exploring.
Wonderful first find for kids... is in poor condition and very water logged but great to find!
This one is in terrible state
Water has ruined it and owner needs looking into it as we couldn’t place names
Was with Sinautus & The Wolf

Quick find by Aquinos on a night adventure with him and his brother. The cache is a bit soggy but the log is still signable. TFTC!
Couldn't find it tonight, had quite the scrounge around with Stormix. Thought we found the perfect spot (especially with all the wasp mentions) but wasn't in there and don't really feel like testing the hypothesis of them being dead!
