I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi Indiana Jill

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

My caching buddy and I are down from Northland for the weekend. Today we went exploring the East Coast Bays. Loved the building as we approached.

#217. Coordinates are spot on. Made a quick find whilst out with my wife. Log rather damp but managed to sign. TFTC.
 
11-Sep-16
After dropping Miss NZT off on the sensible non caching side of the family and as the evening was so nice decided a little caching would do no harm.

Parked n the reserve's carpark and walked to GZ. My GPS had me all over he place but eventually settled and I was able to make the quick find. As it was dark and I was using my torch I believe this helped as the cache did glam in my torch light.... Sometimes night caching has its advantages!!!

23-Jul-16
Cool cache. Must have driven past this place numerous times in the past before caching. Thanks for bringing me here today Smile

Interesting spot and a quick find. None of the Trackables here tho. TFTC
 
25-Apr-16
Found with sideshowray, as he said the cache was open..we were in a bit of a rush so didn't double-check everything was still there, hopefully it's all still there! Also dropped my pen in the car, so couldn't sign the log, but I will be back to do so! Otherwise, everything seemed in good condition. Tftc!
 
25-Apr-16
Came back and took travel bug. Going to bring it to America with me in a month! Found with cap unscrewed though, don't know for how long.... obviously a muggle, as no log of visit.

Came to pick up our trackable moko but she isn't here. Tftc
 
16-Mar-15
Quickly found, made easier by the fact there were old (very) soggy logs directly in front of hide. Tried to pick up but fruitless effort due to rain overnight. Logs which remained inside cache very soggy. I have replaced with a new one - needs a replacement bag. TFTC
 
14-Mar-15
A lot harder than it needed to be because we attempted in the dark with very little in the way of torches. Cool spot though, wouldnt have known this little area was here if it wasnt for this cache
 
14-Mar-15
Took way too long at night
 
07-Mar-15
I loved the artwork around here. Interesting sculptures and colourful murals. I would never have come here if it weren't for the geocaching. Thanks.
