The elephant is missing its ivory teeth (what do you call them in english???), which is sad... a quick find on the way to Rotorua! TFTC
Nice quick find with the kids on way back to palmy. Dunno where the geocoin is? Nice spot for a night cache! Thanks for the cache 
Another straightforward retrieve on this afternoon's cache-fest. An excellent spot
The 3rd in a dissapointing string of DNF's on my early morning stroll in Taupo; pulled the PQ just a few days ago, so didn't realise this one was disabled. Enjoyed my stroll about town very early this morning while it was snowing, and seeing the unique artworks.LOL, i think the poor pachy was shivering!
Didn't see the disabled till now, but agcnz and myself couldn't find this one either..
I would say that it's gone. The most obvious location is empty. A bunch of us looked in various options.
Found on a chilly night in the dark. No muggles around! No coin in the cache as shown in the inventory. Sad face

No muggles about today just a couple of gardeners, who were busy weeding in the rain. TFTC.
Due to the ongoing rain the place was left to just us. In a moment of sunshine, we enjoyed the nature, and could log the cache undisturbed.
Found cache empty apart from pencil and dripping wet log book. Unable to sign as too wet, needs more paper and a plastic bag but unfortunately I had neither
Easy find. Couldn't sign the logbook as it was completely sopping, but put a page of my notebook in, hopefully that'll hold until some sort of waterproofing can be sorted in the cache.
A nice little stroll though. tftc!

An amazing little quiet spot. Log is wet - it rained here all day yesterday but today is stunning and sunny
TFTCNZ11. Nice and early and no one about. Pretty wet but found easily. Thanks.

A quick find on a rainy Anzac day. Just passing through Taupo on my way home to Auckland. TFTC
Quick stroll through the park here just on dark in my way home from the national Orienteering events in Hawkes Bay netted a quick find!

Nice quick one to find. We were the 3rd to find this today, before heading back to Mangakino.
A quick and easy find - and after 2 DNFs and a miss start on the multi in town it was good to find one! TFTC
Nice to finally do this one. Was here 6 months ago but a muggle had settled in with a book and didn't look like they'd be moving.
Nice little park. Found this one while walking to the I-Site. A quick find and log, luckily no muggles nearby.

On our way to the I-Site we found this cache in a nice little park.

Ah, nice new log book, found the Pachyderm and the "weight off" without the GPS.
Quick find with CrusaderWoman along with all the cigarette butts one could ever want - someone obviously spends a lot of time hanging out here. TFTC
The cache log book and lid was missing. I have replaced the cache and it's OK now.
I logged you in the new log book "aldebay". thanks for lettting me know about the missing lid and log.

I found a box at the coords with no cover and empty so couldn't log. I hope logging it here is ok anyhow (I've got a picture of the muggled box I can send to the owner). Thanks however for the cache!
we note the logs and it seems it had been replaced to the wrong spot so we have put on gps location in line with other logs views.
Nice area for a cache, Took a few minutes to locate this as the GPS seemed to take us a short distance away from the actual cache location. but not too hard to figure out. TFTC.
This one took a bit of stealth all right. Easy find though once I had the right area!
Our friens make a jump out of a airplane and cora and I go a bit cachen. This was the first one today. TFTC
We found the Pachyderm and the cache container hanging from the hiding hole. We shuffled things around and concealed it away from preying eyes.

tftc!Nice easy find in a nice little place at a favourite stop. Stopped over in Taupo for lunch on our Guzzi trip north. Lovely day. Just a bit hot in our motorbike gear
A lot of muggles around GZ were also out, but with a camera and half-faked photographical interest , it was relatively easy to retrieve and return the cache.
Interesting spot - thanks for bringing us here

Fortunately it was a quiet day - sun came just out, so we were quite alone in the area. Nice place...

On way from Auckland to Wellington - only had time for 1 cache in Toupo. Had to do this cache as I collect Elephants (hence my nic name from Helen & Elephant). TFTC
Down from the USA and brought my Kiwi neice along for her first day of geo-'cashing'. She loved it. We found it, SL. TFTC - 2andaBoxer #907
Darling wife found both the pachyderm and the cache site, so not much else for me to do this time.
A nice quick find in a pretty little park. We watched the train go by twice on this blustery day. TFTC
Visited here quite a few times over the years. Nice to return for a cache this time. Cache blends well, but we spotted quickly. Thanks.
