Probably not there

Searched whole area but DNF

Missing in action. Had plenty of time to hunt this one out but nothing there.

No luck had a good look around a lot of DNF's on this cache now.

Checked the magnetic spots no joy

Approcahing GZ we clearly see where to look but we searched the whole "thing" and found nothing.

Thought we'd give this a second attempt but still couldn't find.

No luck this time

Parked nearby and walked across to GZ. The park was a little busy but GZ was clear. I swept the area and initially missed the cache. However, it was quickly located on my way back. Nicely tucked away. TFTC.

Took a while to find but got there evenutally with slimthedestroyer. Having two people definitely helps. TFTC

TFTC. Found with Trampingkiwi.

Yay

First visit to this park which I have driven past on numerous occasions. While there were lots of people and traffic about managed to find it without attracting attention. TFTC

Nice easy find. BYO pen though, logroll only in cache. TFTC!

I reckon its small not micro, no pencil. Thanks for find.

Out for a lovely stroll and made this find along the way.
Greetings from Canada.

Quick find on New Years' Eve, with fireworks going off in the background. The bay looks beautiful tonight. TFTC

Found the cache after a walk in the park. Have added a new logbook in the cache.

Easy one thankgoodness ! Busy day off out caching Cox's Bay and Herne Bays !

Rain has started but close parking spot.
A hunt had cache in hand. Enough for today. TFTC.

Found at 9:19 AM GAFF3. This took us longer than it should have to locate as we were put off by the Munzee, thinking that the cache would be right next to it for some reason.
It started to rain and didn't stop all morning, so our plan to explore the west coast of Auckland was shelved and we basically went to the airport and got ourselves organised to fly back to Australia after 4 weeks in NZ - thanks all for a wonderful time and the wonderful scenery.
Thanks 10centcoin

A nice quick easy find while in the area. Motoring muggles on one side and tennis muggles on the other. However, the location makes it really easy to be discrete. TFTC.

Found eventually, log was missing, just a laundrette receipt as a temporary log, tftc

Found with mugglers interested in what's going on

Found while cycling around Herne Bay after picking up Marathon race pack. Found container but only contained a receipt with one log entry and no pencil so couldn't sign....
Tftc

No pencil and no logbook

We spent the morning car caching on the west side of the CBD and managed to visit a number of caches in the area that I’ve been meaning to get to for some time. This place is pretty much empty on a cool, windy Sunday morning, but still had to time it right between all the sets of runners and cyclists. As there was no log book in the cache, I used what I had on hand, which was the top bit of a receipt, for a temporary substitute.

Quick find in super blustery conditions coming from the previous cache, but as previously noted the cache was empty.

Found the cache as previously stated. Unfortunately we didn't know about its state prior to our visit or we would have brought a logbook for it. TFTC!

Now I know why I didn't find it last time. Its been muggled i'm afraid. I found the container and the lid on the ground below where it was probably hidden. No log book either, will notify owner.

Oh dear. Two of us had a really good look. The Italian Job was here....!

Motorists must have wondered what I was up to with my head in the flax. I wouldn't have cared if I had found it, but sadly I didn't.

Had to poke about a bit before coming up trumps. A nice spot indeed. TFTC

I was collecting some caches in the nearby park yesterday and didn't get a chance to sweep past this one. Although I don't usually get to this part of the city, for some reason I was driving past so I decided to give this one a quick try. Noting that the previous two logs were DNFs I wasn't that confident about finding it. However, there weren't many muggles around and a quick search came up with the results. Although it was quite where I was expecting the cache based on similar clues and locations.

BTW the log book is full and should be replaced. Unfortunately I didn't have a replacement log on me.

TFTC.

Not easy to look for without being obvious. Tennis courts and busy road nearby. We gave up

Searched all possible hiding places, but couldn't find. Gave up as a tennis game in progress, and didn't want to look too suspicious.

The 26th for the day on this lovely day in an interesting and vibrant city.

TFTC

Nice lil challenge, flax be your friend

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Out for an evening geocaching to take part in the 29th Feb geocaching record, took Clan McPherson with us.

Lots of tennis players in the evening, especially Wednesdays, club night according to the sign. None the less we soon had the cache in hand, large bushes made finding cache out of sight possible.

Found it with Phasevisitor on an after work caching spree for leap day. Had to lurk suspiciously for a while by the hordes of Tennis players but managed to get it eventually. TFTC

The tennis players looked at me oddly, but I'm use to it.

searched everywhere obvious but couldn't find it.

Will have to try another day.

had to avoid the silver foxes at tennis but soon had it in hand, TFTC

Quick found.
Thanks,

After a couple of false attemps, I gave the GPSr time to settle - then found Co-ords spot on. TFTC

should have been easy...but not for us, no luck finding this.

Final stop on my Ponsonby detour home. Thanks for the hint because it might have been a much longer search without it. As it was it took a bit of searching to find it thanks to the density of the brush. However, persistence paid off and I was soon hunting for a page to sign. The log is just about full, but I managed to find a spot. TFTC!

We are on our second caching holiday in New Zealand, and today was to break our record of most caches found in a day – 35 found today! Beautiful views of the bay here this morning. There was heaps of traffic coming by but we eventually found a break in the traffic and were able to find the hide. There is only one page left in the log book. TNLNSL TFTC

This is a high profile cache! Like others we had to look twice and there it was. TFTC

Crikey had to rummage for this one! TFTC.

Not as straight forward as I'd expect TFTC

Took a while to find this one but shouldn't have. TFTC

Took a little longer to find this than expected but found eventually on a cold and dreary day...#100 for the day!

This one was quite an easy find. Had to wait for a muggle to go past, reached in, and sure enough, there it was!
TFTC!!

Busy area on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC.

Out for a few cache finds with Indiana Jill, Kayaknkiwi and BookwormMum. Sorry for the delay in logging this cache -- I discovered a few caches that hadn't been logged from my paper log book! TFTC!

Out with the girls. Nice area, few laughs were had along the way. Thanks for the adventure. TFTC!

Found this a few months ago - was my first geocache.

Sunny day for caching with friends. Plenty rugby muggles. None at tennis. Lovely views.

Had to be quick here as there were plenty of muggles running or walking past.

Cheers for the cache.

I'm afraid that I have to admit that this is not my first attempt at this cache. I don't know how I missed it the other time(s). Today I managed to walk straight up to it and put my hand exactly where it needed to be. Whew... Relief... TFTC, Biggles.

With no work scheduled until this evening. there was an opportunity to squeeze some caching in this afternoon. I hatched a simple plan, catch a bus out too Richmond Road and then stroll around the local parks and foreshore collecting caches. While the plan worked out in the end, the distances covered where much larger than I initially anticipated. While I am feeling all virtuous from the completing the strenous exercise, I sure am feeling it now!

First up on my afternoon jaunt was this Coxs Bay cache. What a lovely spot. Snapped a quick picture. Cache was an easy find. I anticipated both the GZ and cache container for this hide on approach. Thanks for showing me this lovely area!

Quick and easy find today...

Quite an easy find. GPS spot on,thanks.

Pulled up right along side cache on the bike, made the find and off to the next one in less than a minute!! Still, a great spot for a cache! Thanks =)

First one found. It's on. -BaileyBytes.

Nice little cache (pencil needs a sharpen).

Tidy looking facilities and nice beach area. Gps zeroed out perfectly and after a few minutes I spotted the cache. Thanks

Lovely calm evening at the beach. TFTC

Send the "boy" in for the retrieval. TFTC.

Easy find in the spot roobi had just looked at. TFTC.

I forgot to log this from some time ago.
Thanks

Had a pretty good look around this morning. Lots of muggle traffic and dodging rain drops was needed so decided to come back another time

I knew where this one had to be but it took a minute to get the right spot. Then a quick dash back to the car as the showers picked up. Was interested in the container as the ones in Australia are smaller than this. TFTC!

A quick find in the rain but surprising number of muggles out and about. Even a pair playing tennis. Guess with all the rain we've been having people are suffering from cabin fever. NINO TFTC

Tftc. Perfect day for it.

Nice and easy find. TFTC

Care needed here as tennis court nearby very popular and main road very busy with traffic and pedestrians
Hid in here to sign logbook
Neat hide!

Thx TFC!

Used to pass this way often. Great place. TFTC

Quick find in between rain showers. Thanks

Quick find on the way back from a cache run out West. TFTC.

First find of the day after dragging myself out into the Auckland rain.

Lots of running muggles today, did the shoe lace trick.

I have found another similar cache by 10cent, so assuming its hidden the same way . I cant find it

Goblindust was able to come up with this one for the group. Thanks!

easily found on a cache run to clear up these pesty Westy caches!
Thanks!

Yippie!!!! Another happy face for me!
