After 8 or 9 visits, I've finally found it!! And even then, it's only because I found a similar cache. Awesome cache, and couldn't have found a better one for my 200th! TFTC

It was on my second visit that I found the Geocashe. Very tricky. Excellent hiding spot.

Now this is what we enjoy, a nice clever hide, fortunately it was where I first looked purely by fluke. I can imagine this one taking ages otherwise. TFTC

What a cunning hide. First we've seen of this kind. Mrs bjtrekker found it and said, “Oh, what's this?†We took a look at it and said, “It's the cache!†It's always nice to discover something new in caching and the experience is made so much more enjoyable especially if it's a muggle-free area. This cache certainly gets the tick on both counts. Thanks paua for the cache.
 
17-Mar-10
Neat cache!! I am visiting from Arizona getting the local caches I don't have. Thanks for the cache!
 
15-Mar-10
Took me about 5 minutes to find this one, I guessed what I had to be looking for and I was spot on. Impressively well-done camouflage! Signed log, TFTC!
 
13-Mar-10
Had a quick look and couldn't see anything. Sent my wife to look and she found it.
Nicely hidden.
Thanks.

20-Jan-10
On my third try, after probably 30 minutes of searching on previous occasions, and thanks to a hint from brucewwnz, I finally found this one. I suspect I've had my hands on it at least twice before without even realising it. Great camo, clever hide. TFTC.
 
16-Jan-10
I think I got a bit lucky with this one. I could easily have spend thirty minutes here without finding it. Instead, it took me about two. A great surprise. I recommend that those that have been unsuccessful have another attempt and don't rule out anything. Nice work, paua.
 
10-Jan-10
Very good indeed, had to come back a second time, TFTC
 
07-Jan-10

Out for a ride along the Hutt River looking for caches on the way. Nice one! TFTC
 
31-Dec-09
Some careful consideration to the hint lead us to the likely location of the cache. Some careful hunting followed resulting in a find. My daughter is hooked!

1531 Very clever hide, enjoyed the hunt. TFTC
 
30-Dec-09
Our patience paid off, with cache find. Knew what to look for, but concerned at possible damage, so the gentle approach was called for.
 
28-Dec-09
Found on a road trip to Wellington from Auckland.

This was a hard one. Met up with TheWonderStuff and recognised him as a geocacher from a long way off. It takes one to know one. Looked together and found after a short systematic search. Very nice hide!
 
26-Dec-09
Nice hide though the hunt all over before it begun as I was thinking of doing something similar.

Very good .

No luck for me today, searched likely hiding area and among the rubbish for about 30 minutes.
 
15-Dec-09
What a fantastic hide. A lot of effort gone in here. Third visit to the site with workers hanging around on my first 2 visits, but persistence pays off my First FTF. Thanks heaps for the cache.
 
15-Dec-09
Arrived at the required location just on 12 (noon). Just as I got to GZ a van load of ‘youth workers’ and their minders turned up. When they got the gas bottles and burners out it was obvious they where there for a long lunch so I decided to give it away and left. Returned after work to find the site deserted. Found after a short search. A very clever hide, more that happy with the 3rd FTF on this one. SL TFTC
 
15-Dec-09
Was in the Lower Hutt for work and knew there was a new cache, but was far too busy, so decided to do my work first and try to finish early, finally finished later in the afternoon and decided that a quick visit was called for, arrived at GZ and all was clear, a quick search and all was revealed, very clever hide, love it, definitely worth looking for, TFTC TNLNSL (1525)
