Not there. Is this cache being maintained? Am email to CO months ago asking for it to be checked and still nothing has happened. Perhaps it needs to be archived?

After meeting up with Kyle891 at a nearby FTF attempt we decided to team up for some night caching. Kyle (previous finder) confirmed that the object at GZ has been altered and the cache is missing.
Found the bench, but just couldn't find the cache. Maybe it's too small, or maybe we just didn't have enough time. Will try again another day...
yes I needed a bit more light. In the dark you wouldn't use your fingers as much as you do need for this find 
Nope, it was much too dark. I just thought will go for it but need to come back in daytime
It's amazing how much the plants around here have grown but the cache is still accessible, if you look in the right place. I'd passed here yesterday when the playground was full of kids, so I returned today when it was quiet.
The bench is getting a little over run by the plants at the moment but no problem finding it

Thanks

The difficult bit was finding the right street since my map's a 2004 edition... Once there located cache easy peasy... TFTC
nice quick find. never been down here before, and would be quite pleasant to sit on the cool benches when less muddy! TFTC
Another time where cache extraction took longer than cache finding. All good in the end. TFTC, Biggles.
Congratulations on finding 1000-seems a long way away when you first start!!Nice hide-tftc
First we went to find our first one and we found it. There was Keagan and Michelle and Gavin and Shanae and me. Great cache!

No fireworks today, only passing showers.

Oh Yay! I managed to actually find one today! The East Auckland tally was looking pretty poor up until this point and the DNF's were winning so it was nice to have some success 
TFTC
TFTCLoved this find but was aware of muggle children around. Had to be "stealthy". TFTC
Took a bit of scouting around while waiting for muggles to move away, and then a quick find.

An easy find, but one has to wonder about who would normally use this bench? Felt a bit strange sitting there relaxing waiting for passersby to move on.

Thankfully had the spot to ourselves, think someone got the planning a bit wrong here.

Another playground with children and parents.
They soon left when the old bugger went into the bushes.
Cheers TT

Congrats on your 1000 finds. Had to wait for a muggle to leave the area before ducking around the greenery for this one.
Cheers for the cache.

1958 Congrats Gadgetron. Nice quick find even with all the teenaged muggles, who weren't the least bit interested in us! TFTC
Quick find on the way to work this morning. BIG Congrats on your milestone, and as the saying goes: "You're a machine!" No fireworks this time of the day! Thanks.

On our return journey home from a FTF on the Shore more notifications came through so we made a spur of the moment decision to continue caching as by now we were wide awake. Headed towards GZ and made an easy find with the bright lights of the sky rockets shining overhead 
and we most certainly didn't expect a blank log FTF . Congrats on your 1000 finds, we have enjoyed your challenging hides over the past few days T4TC.

Congrats on your 1000 finds, we have enjoyed your challenging hides over the past few days T4TC.Having met up with Rosmar at the previous new Gadget-tron cache we knew this one had already been found. Since we were in the area, we carried on anyway to make the find at some crazy hour of the night. Congrats Gadget-tron on your first 1000 finds!
