After crawling scratching feeling sitting and even looking elsewhere even though it led me to the location I did not find it today . I'll take another look another day .

What interesting history! I shared it at dinnertime with the family.I had a good look around the area but I was not able to find the cache today. I will add it to my list and return with more clan eyes to help.

Thought we found the perfect suspect for hiding spot but unfotunately DNF

Container had already started making its way out of its holding bay, maybe a metre out in the open .
Signed and placed back where it should be and hopefully put a little stop in to keep it in its place

Called in today with a replacement cache.

Dnf

DNF

Couldn't find it think has been muggled:(

I think someone has removed it

Found

Our first ever catch with my siblings!

Found!

Well hidden

Found it but no pencil someone must of took it

Found today by Joss and Jhaekayari great hint!

Nice

Called by this afternoon and put in a replacement cache.

Once there, I quickly found the obvious hiding place, but there was nothing there. It was probably moved, or was muggled.

The cache is missing from its hiding place, I checked throughly

DNF. Going by previous photos/location didn't seem to be there.

Cool

Didn’t find anything someone must’ve taken it

Fiubd

Yes, definitly cracked it this time, tftc!

Muggles arrived as I was walking over. So now I’m having a swing

Nice spot!

First up here and after recent DNFs, and a previous finders pic of GZ I was sure where it should be, and it wasn't there. Cobbled together a replacement and placed as per hint/coords.

Sunday it is. And this Sunday is continue-a-streak day, modest as it is. So, I headed out in the morning and had to get mrs c a present for her birthday (tomorrow) as well as a couple of other minor shopping targets. I headed our Ranui/Swanson way for the first time caching and wanted to find a minimum of 4 supernannny caches to get her CO placements into my top 40 of found caches (stat nerd!!), along with gorby. This was achieved as well as a couple of other caches for a dirty (half) dozen finds and that was all good. Thanks to the placers of todays caches.

With a pic of a previous find showing where it should be I placed a replacement as per coords/hint. All good to go again, found log later

No luck today, maybe it hasnt been replaced yet.

Did check in a "cracked" spot but found nothing

Says it was replaced in log activity so maybe was removed by public.️

Great spot

Nice spot. Infant had a great time on the playground

A bit of caching in West Auckland today. Well hidden! And thanks for fresh replacement!

A new cache is in place. Same coords and hide.

Think this one is missing again. Will see to it next month when we are back home.

Couldn’t find it

Thanks, we had so much fun

Great spot in the crack

My son loves finding with me. Thanks creator

Nice easy find

Nice easy one for the little one.

This is a test

I checked everything that was "cracked" buy could not find

Hard to find but we did it.

Great one a little tricky to find but very enjoyable!! Thank you

Thanks

Out in the west geocaching for the day. I was sitting down thinking about the next cache when supernanny showed up. Thought I had been muggled. Nice to meet you supernanny. Thanks for the hide kiwicouple.

Stopped off here on my way home from an HCMC Motorkhana at Birdwood Winery Estate. Nice easy find in the obvious spot. TFTC.

It was a bit of a greyish day, with no one about, so I took the opportunity to quickly stop in here on my way past. Interesting local history, and nice tidy wee cache thanx

I'm out for a walk with Redco5. Good spot. Very good hint. Thanks.

Caching with Coldstream. "True to the clue" is all I can say! Thanks!

Good find but a busy spot

Visiting from Australia
Thanks for the cache

#6286. A busy morning at work but plans changed in the afternoon after the meeting I was planning to attend was cancelled. So making my way back slowly to the airport stopping here and there on the way to grab some caches. This was one of them. Nice quick find thanks to the hint. Just managed to sign and replace as found before a shower of rain swept through. Thanks kiwicouple for the cache.

Last time I visited this location the cache was missing, so was nice to finally turn this into a smiley. I happened to be passing by on the way to pick up my niece and nephew to take them to the Santa Parade, so stopped here. Nice and quiet early in the morning, so I was able to make a quick find.

Was beginning to think I was hopeless then I found ot

Last time I stopped here there were muggles sitting in their car right beside the GZ, but this afternoon there is no one around. Nice easy hint made for a quick find, TFTC

Easy park and grab. Thanks for the cache

Quick pick. Thanks for the cache.

A rare day that we had to ourselves and reasonably sunny as well, so we set out nice and early on a Sunday to enjoy some caching in the west. After a quick lunch and then meeting up with the Hemaludy's for the afternoon, we drove to this cache and watched a road altercation as a young guy drove through a red light! Finally got here in one piece and made a quick find. TFTC!

After a morning of housework and grocery shopping we headed out with the goal in mind to reach our 2500th cache by the end of the day (we needed 17 and we achieved it). This was our second cache of the day and a nice quick find thanks to the hint. Found with darthcacher1 and purply.

Third time lucky! I'd visited twice before in 2016, but the cache had been muggled before I got there. This time I pulled into the carpark to find a muggle sitting at GZ. So I went up the road to find "Twelve Months/1200". Returned and the coast was clear. Cache was exactly where I'd tried previously. A great spot so I hope it stays An army of council contractors pulled up as I was signing the log, but they didn't see me put it back. TFTC

A morning trip round West Auckland grabbing the newest releases (and re-releases) finds me here next for a nice quick find. TFTC

Nice and easy park and grab. TFTC

Saw this cache was up and running again. Decided to grab it whilst it was available as it has a strong recent history of vanishing quickly unfortunately - not that I want to put a jynx on it (any more that it already has that is !!). Interesting history regards the camp. TFTC

So glad its replaced!

Thanks for replacing. Sat down for a rest in the perfect place

The cache has been replaced in the same place. All good to go.
NB the plaque has been relocated to closer to the playground.

Cache has been replaced

It's been quite a while... don't want this
one to be archived...cos tells a story
Could you re do it in a diff hide but still in same area please ?
I live really close and could help maintain it!
Cheers

By the sounds of it this site might just be very susceptible to mugging :/ pretty sure the hide is only in the one obvious spot and I poked and prodded every leaf and nut out of that Crack and still can't find it :/

We may need to rethink this one.

Camo

Reached GZ, and spotted a Munzee.. found few cracks, and finally the cache. TFTC kiwicouple

Ready for visits again.

A new cache is in place in the same hide. We'll see how it goes this time.

Checked this evening and the cache has gone again.

I saw that this cache had been replaced, so I returned today. Alas appears that it may have been muggled again?

Found it quite easily.

Park looks fun especially the monkey bars with a difference. A quick stop to find cache just as the sun starts to go down. TFTC

Didnt take too long to find with jodiporsche. On a 3 day road trip from Hawkes Bay to Auckland and back. Grabbing as many caches as we can. Tftc

Very interesting info thanks. Despite taking all care I fear I may have been muggled by some blokes sitting in a car in the car park. I hope the cache is still there. Thanks.

Hopefully managed to make myself nice and stealthy TFTC first to find with the blank log haha

Cache replaced. Good to go.

Cache in place

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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

{#1ab574ffa11d5355cf889fd91a78b4a8}

Definitely not there today. Hasn't been found for almost 8 months.

Couldn't find either.

Found the cracked rock but no cache. Suspect it is gone. Can owner please check

I found a rock cracked in half but couldn't find the geo cache

Drive past everyday. Finally stopped in. Great playground for the kids.

Was out this way to pop into one of my work locations today, so after I was done I decided to spend an hour or so doing a couple of local park & grabs. This was the first find. Hint made it easy, and cache was quickly located. I thought the container was cool, although it was a little visable if you were standing in the right spot. I covered it slightly with a little of the natural cover that was lying around.
