Shame this one went missing - never mind perhaps someone could use the area for a new cache ?
Whole new FTF chance here FMZ !

Too much traffic and nosy muggles prevented a proper search of this site.
Though no excuses - this one got the better of us!

It has gone, a lady from a nearby bar had seen it before and saw us searching. She showed us where it should have been and was quite angry someone had removed it. Coin probably missing too 
The family was playing happily on the beach so Mrs RedwoodWarrior took off for a cheeky bit of caching, forgetting that the phone app operates in metres as opposed to our usual GPSr which is set to imperial. So what at first glance seemed a 600ft stroll turned into a bit more of a trek. Used the pen to dislodge the cache, in order to be a bit discreet but there was no alternative to grovellng on the floor to replace it.TNLN TFTC. 
Didn't grab it, due to muggles being around. One guy have me a good look over as I was looking at it. My first find!
This is a busy spot. But being a tourist and looking at guide book gave me the excuse I needed. Thanks

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
Our original plan for today changed after we looked out the window and realised it was unsuitable weather. Once the weather improved we cached in Long Bay Regional Park before expanding into the wider region.
On our way home but couldn't resist stopping for this drive by. Quick easy find. TFTC

Found with Rothera on our last day in NZ. Picked up Charal1 TB and will take him to the UK. TFTC
Needed to fill another day on the calendar. Fortunately all quiet around here today. Actually as bus stop caches go, we were quite impressed with this hide!! SL. TFTC. 
#2915. Where is the bus stop? From the painted road markings, looks like the stop has moved. Good to see the cache has stayed though. Unfortunately, Livistona australis was not in the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.
All quiet across the front so made a quick grab after working out the logical placement, TFTC
I dont even think this is still a bus stop (no bus lines to park in, or a sign), but the cache is hidden still
Needed quite a lot of stealth as there were muggles driving by constanty but we managed to get it and replace safely. Our second find of the new year TFTC
TFTCFound while out caching with the Taiaotea Air Scouts. Took a button and left a hair tie. Merry Christmas.
Easy find for our mini cachers before heading along the road for some more finds. TFTC!!
Found this little treasure a few days ago but too many muggles soleft it til tonight as lots of people are out trying their fireworks so figured no one would notice an elderly couple strolling the street.
Signed log and replaced

Nice easy find for the kids, and easy to get quickly without drawing attention. TFTC

Nice and easy although very busy road, - easy to retrieve without too much difficulty. There was no trackable in the container?
Together with Caticks we tried to ignore the cars whizzing past and acted as if we were just taking the afternoon air. Part of a trip up the road from Auckland on a Queen's Birthday break from Gisborne. TFTC
First geocache that we found while with 'Turtlebackcacher'. I was very excited, very well camouflaged
Felt very exposed finding this cache.
Parked behind and made a quick find.
No GC in cache

Found with Biggles while caching in the area. Got sick of waiting for the bus so found a cache instead. 
Good one. Thanks.
Good one. Thanks.Found on day 2 of a 3 day Auckland cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. A more relaxing day all round in which we ONLY found 68 caches. Aah well, we can see where there must have been a bus stop once. A little different from some of the other bus stop caches we did today. TFTC, Biggles.

the name threw us off for a while but we followed the coords and found it! very well camoed! =]
Followed the iPhone GPS, but is this really a bus stop? Dropped off some goodies and took small bow pin.
Quick stop after doing some gardening at my parents. I will have to pick up some more in this area as they are moving soon.
The Waterhouses found it with "A Girl Called Hope."
In: Bow tie broach
Out: Heart sticker

A good size cache in a cunning spot. Found it on the way back from the beach. T4TC :0)
We have been here 2 times before and with other cachers but never found it. Went out today after dropping cath off to work and bingo the cache was soon in my hands. Such a simple but good hide how could we have missed it

First of 2 bus stop caches in a row.
They make them different here than over in oz so we found a few different hiding spots than we are used to finding.
Cheers mm198

This was different - a bus stop cache. Little did we know it was the start of a run of them!
However, what we learned here stood us in good stead.
Thanks, Robmc.
