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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

As there is no cache to be found, can this be archived or replaced?

Cheers.

Searched for about 30 minutes around here with the rest of my family but no joy. I did not see the maintenance log until after I got home so I guess this is why we did not find it. It appears that it is no longer there.

Unfortunatly this has been muggled. Found very soaked log book and contents scattered about base of tree. Have brought cache out with me as was beyond any use.

Out dogwalking and caching with kiwidogs. another nice easy find today. TFTC

Quick find not far from the track. Loads of Tui and Wood Pigeons fluttering about overhead.

took a bit of hunting but we got it

Thanks to the co ords from Marmis this was quickly in hab=nd and nesting on the ground. Log is fairly damp but I was able still to write clearly. TFTC

Had to use spoiler photo to find this one. Took a little while to find but using the great hint soon had the cache in hand. After reading the recent logs i realised that there are updated coordinates from another cacher. Log book is very damp but still signable. TNLN - TFTC!! Great morning for walking in the bush with the sun overhead! Makes a nice change from all the rain we have had lately!

Found OK -- the suggested replacement coordinates below (marmis) are spot on.
Miss 5 spotted the [insert hint here] -- else I'd have been looking for ages.
Log was rather wet so added a dessicant sachet into the bag and sealed tightly. Shame no room for swag

Nice find

Might have found this cache more easily had we not transposed the cache notes for this cache with the other cache notes for the other traditional cache nearby. Its never anyones fault of course so will have to blame the half light and wet terrain from the overnight rain. TFTC and for the not too quick a find, but got there in the end!

Found it. Maybe worhtwile to update coordinates
S 36.58.688 / E 174.55.215

GPS worked better than I thought it would under cover of the trees. Found as per pictures and hints. Logbook a bit damp. Our 2nd find for the night.Good one.

A do not find for us. Probarly worthwile to update coordinates. We will try an other time again.

Easy find

Found a few weeks ago but forgot to log. Quick find TFTC

Good bush walk not hard to find

Quick easy find. TFTC

This was an easy find. Loved the walk around the bush

Nice easy find, just sort i like.

Thought I might be in for a bit of forest exploring... but a nice easy walk had me to the seat... and 37 paces from that had me near a likely spot... First place I looked and I had the cache in hand... log book is still quite damp... so thanks to previous cacher who left a nice little replacement log sheet

TFTC!

Found a seat, then found a big tree, then found a cache - love it when it goes to plan... Log book still pretty damp so I left a replacement sheet in there for the next finder. TFTC

Beautiful walk with the kids. Trashed out on the way back to the car. TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Great bit of bush/park next time I come here I will bring the family.

Thanks for the cache.

3428. The cache is damp and the log book is very wet. We found the cache easily in this very nice bush area. We were a little wary about searching in bush after a previous experience in bush on the North Shore during an earlier cache hunt in the Auckland area. However, this trip we only had good experiences and thoroughly enjoyed our short times in bush areas.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

really needed the pic awesome hide

Nice hide

Second find for the day with CDM261.
Co-ordinates are just a little bit out. TN and left signature eraser. TFTC.

Eventually found it, GPS didn't get that close but clue helped slightly disturbed by the single guys cruising around the car park, they certainly weren't geocaching TFTC

Whilst being buzzed by a low flying 747, the GPS took me to within a couple of metres of the cache, which was a good job as I didn't spot the swing. The whole area was very wet from all the recent rain.

The inside of the cache had some water in (tipped out) and the log is rather damp. It could do with being dried out, although it's still usable with the pencil in the cache.

thanks for the walk,

Good find had to use the spoiler though

The GPS had us going around in circles under all this tree cover, and really wished we had taken the picture with us, as one big tree can often look like the other hundred it is surrounded by!
Finally found and ticked off though.....TFTC

Thought this would be a real problem with muggles when I encountered parents & preschooers picnic in the park...about 30 of them! Fortunatly they took the opposite path. Then the next problem...finding the cache. Great piece of bush. TFTC

Easy find, count the paces find the cache, no problem

It's been a long break from geocaching, but an easy find thanks to Mrs fun2seek's sharp eyes. Log book needs replacing as it is totaly soaked through.

Didn't bring the spoiler pic with me so spent a little time before having the cache in hand. Logbook a little damp.

Cheers for the cache.

1952 Nice walk in a pleasant area, TFTC

Thanks to Mrs G for the guidence

This was a really long search, but eventually I spotted it.

We found the cache to be 25m off. Didn't have access to the photo in the hint either, but persistence paid off and Tromelin eventually spotted the cache. Enjoyed our walk through this nice forest. TFTH

Pleasant walk to GZ and we didn't even have to look for the cache as it was exposed and open and the logbook out of the bag but luckily it was only damp . Any other contents have gone. We have burried the cache under some leaf litter where we found it so hopefully it is now safe T4TC.

Found after a short search of the area, Somewhere between the 2 lots of co-ords. SL TFTC

Last cache for 09! Spent a while looking THEN read the logs
Great place to be on a hot windy day for the kids on their bikes & adults on foot.

It was a race between Mr and Mrs P ... and the winner was MRS P. T4tc

This is a fantastic patch of bush, loved the visit. Hmm not another meeting place for blokes in cars though - already have that problem with one of our caches, grrr. TFTC

I thought there was a concert going on with the park taken over with Indian music from a getto blaster. GZ seemed a good 20m out, but Mr Tomato's coords were good for me.
T4TC - M@

Nice little patch of bush, nice easy find, TFTC

Easy to find with the photo. GPS was pointing every which way.

Indiana Jill, Kayaknkiwi and I were grateful for Butterfly Lady's coords on this one. The gps was going this way and that, and we didn't have a picture. That didn't matter cuz Kayaknkiwi looked in the obvious spot and what do you know, she found the cache! Took me 40 paces. TFTC!

Arrived at GZ, searched and searched some more. Relooked at logs, thanks butterfly lady. Cache in hand soon after. Thanks for the adventure on this one. TFTC! Such a wonderful spot.

Managed to find without the spoiler photos.

TFTC!

But Mummy, why are there so many men sitting in their cars and walking around the bush on their own?

Bush walk in, easy way out. Didnt have the photo, but found cache without to much trouble.

Ive driven past this reserve several times but never bothered before to explore it. Nice reserve!! T4TC!

Didn't bring the spoiler pic with me but not too hard to find despite that. plus being a bit out from the published co-ords. Nice spot, sure looks like a great place for a picnic.

Oh, we needed a photo - well, we give it a go, without.
Got to likely spot, chatted to a muggle enoying the restful spot. Moved on, pointed and chatted openly about trees.
Eventually he moved on. Followed the unformed track from that spot, and used a little logic. Found a cache too!
Picked up the MirPets GC and left the travel slug.

Quick find. Description and find instructions were spot-on. Thanks.

Nice bush walk, took a while ‘cos we forgot to download the picture clue, GPS 20m out. Many thanks for bringing us here, great spot for a cache.
TNLNSL, TFTC

Was surprised to see this one still unfound when I woke up this morning, so headed out quickly.
Coords a bit off, took a new reading.
Nice bush, deserved another cache.
Thanks for placing one.
Took Coins, left TB.
Got muggled by an elderely man doing his morning walk.
Explained geocaching to him.

Was also suprised to see this one still here. A late start heading this way. 2nd to find TFTC.

This piece of bush deserves more than one cache, it's a craker spot. No problems in locating it.
