Thanks for the cache took us a minute. I agree that a better hint might be (left leg)
Nicely hidden cache signed replaced and removed the beetle that decided to live on it
Felt very surreptitious hiding behind the structure but got the cache in good time. Even standing right next to it, well hidden!
I've been here once before and had found the hiding spot empty (so logged as a DNF) but am happy to come back with the find this time. TFTC
Fantastic, thank you for the fun hide! Mr 2 was extremely pleased with mechanism, and was appropriately sneaky as we avoided muggles and drivers passing by....
Our 3rd time looking for this and finally success. Thanks for the new hint. We are happy geocachers today.
So much funsies! Thank you for the fantastic cache and the great memories made along with it beautiful day and a beautiful cache
I have been looking after this cache although sadly Felix! has not responded to my requests to adopt it.The cache had been dislodged from its hiding place so I retrieved it and have inserted a new log. It is back where it belongs.But now theres another issue - some bright spark has dumped a whole trailer load of rubbish at GZ. See the pic.
Great little hide thank. Too much TP around unfortunate. Didn’t bring a pen so added a photo of log.
Great cache! We took few min to find it! Logbook full so we added an extra piece of paper.
Found on a coastal cache and trash walk with its_smitchell. We collected 4 grocery bags of litter along the beach. Log sheet signed, but full.
Thoroughly impressed with the hide, got me feeling a bit topsy turvy, but I've never been one for the sea... I never really knew about the Italian heritage of this area so thank you for this cache. Always a treat to find out what local flavour particular immigrant groups inject into their adopted homes and how that colours the area to this day. TFTC
Quick find, sadly Mr6 found a pile of #2's to stand in just as a said "watch out for..."
It’s school holidays with amazing weather, so an assortment of south coast caches is on the agenda for us today. Nice wee hide.
Thanks Felix!
Thanks Felix!
Almost too easy had to wait for smelly muggles to get their smelly muggles eyes away from us as we searched
Great views of the ferries coming into port. Should have been a good crossing today because there are no waves crashing over the rocks. Had a bit of a hint and then found the cache.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Felix!.

Very tricky! Spent a while under the bush, but you don’t need to! The word ‘mechanism’ in the previous comment was very helpful.
Out with KiwiKatieG. Nice and easy find for us. Just needed to use the geocaching brain to work out what it was we were looking for. TFTC
This one took and me longer than it should have… Eventually found right where I’d been searching so that was my bad! TFTC. KTG
My pen isn't working, so I marked the log sheet as best I could. Great camo and great views. TFTC
We had a family reunion almost opposite this cache. We arrived early so wandered along finding caches. This cache was very nicely hidden. I had investigated initially but nothing happened. After exhausting other options I went back to this and immediately discovered it. It is known to our hosts as well. Thanks for the placement.
Cool hide took me a few minutes credit to the C.O. .Thanks for bringing me here Felix..could just make out the the South Island in the distance
In Wellington for the wkend. Great to be out exploring and enjoying the weather. Good hide here. Tftc
Very clever indeed! The kiddo was very impressed No pen on us so didn’t sign.
Oh the excitement of a night time hunt! The spiders and bugs! Eek! After a while looking, we recognized a cache type we've seen before... so yay! TFTC
Collecting some hides near Island Bay during on Matariki Day in Wellington between two Celebration Events in town.
Reading previous logs was helpful.

We are staying in Strathmore Park for a week, and finally getting the chance to make a decent dent in our Wellington solved puzzle list. Today we are targeting caches in and around the Lyall Bay area.
Parked nearby, worked out our directions, and soon had the cache in hand. Nicely done, and an interesting cache page, thanks.

Found on dusk as the Ferry was chugging past, sea gulls calling out in the background. A scenic park and grab to get this creative cache - it's a goodie.
Log book is full, was able to just squeeze my name in the last row.
