A Manukau view. (Auckland) Te Papapa, North Island, New Zealand
By Uncle Brian on 11-Apr-10. Waypoint GC26JAJ

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 Uncle Brian

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.

Did not find it

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

not there

For a D1 T1 this one defeated us. Could see where the logical place should have been but no luck

Looked for 30 mins.... no luck. Found spots that were likely hiding spots, but nothing found.

Thank

Looked for a small box and also a film canister, as per previous logs, but nil success.

After a walk this morning in the heat we decided to go back for a rest and go for another walk this evening to collect a few more caches.Parked up nearby and made a nice quick find here.

Searched for a while ..and met a rat ..so I searched a little more carfullly..but then I got lucky and reconized something I as photograper used to use .

I'm from Switzerland and spend 4 months in New Zealand on vacation. Found this cache after a few minutes search, thanks.

Found rolling around in plain sight. Initially thought it was rubbish. Signed and replaced out of sight.

Took a few minutes but we didn't find a lunch box but instead a small film canister, tftc

Found in a short time with the geokids. Tftc

Saw something amiss on our approach to the GZ and wasn't surprised that what we saw led us straight to the cache. Thanks!

It's great how quickly we can spot these ones. Nice and easy. Log is a bit damp though. Tftc

Great lunchtime find with hollyfield

Found, was full of water, not sure if this was an old one? ((May need to be replaced?)) Was found opposite from the bench before the location stated.

My First Cache. Found with my sister while introducing geocaching to her. TFTC!

Good hiding place not too hard

Thankyouu

Nice simple little hide TFTC

Cool view and a great bike ride
TFTC

After completing the multi nearby we headed over to this walkway to make the find here.... spotted the likely hide from a distance and upon arriving at GZ was proven correct....the find was made and re-hidden.

TFTC.

Easy find will enjoying the bike trail.

Stretched the lunch break a bit more and found this one too. Tftc

Slot 14. Thanks for the cache.

Nice little trip on my bike in the area. Quick find along way. TFTC

2nd time here. This time we got a smiley. Thanks for the replacement Gorby. TFTC.

Quick find. Tftc

Quick find with passing muggles

First geocache experience a success. Log is a little damp and mouldy but still here!! We left a few #aklrocks nearby for kids too.

Thanks. Won't be so easy to be subtle once those units are occupied.

We didn't find this one last time we looked as it turned out it was missing so it was finally time to come back and have another go. Half an hour last time turned into 30 seconds this time as it was where I expected it should have been, so all good - thanks very much to Gorby for replacing the geocache and keep this one going.

Parked up at the end of the street and walked down here just down from construction workers who were using the end of the street to have some after work drinks and listen to some tunes - heard some Bill Sevisi in there, good taste. Nice mild night for a walk with a dog. TFTC.

I was walking with the geodogs on a rare sunny day when I decided to check out some caches. Found this on my phone and wondered how I was going to log it when I didn't have a pen. Log and behold, I suddenly saw one between this and another cache while chatting to another dog walker. My lucky day tftc!

The weather was very unpredictable today, one minute sunny and the next torrential rain, but we didn't let this stand in the way of our desire for a walk, especially since there were a few caches to be found along the way.
The advantage of bad weather was a lower muggle population and we had GZ to ourselves allowing for a quick find. Container is in good condition and the log nice and dry.
Definitely a beautiful view despite the bad weather. Thanks Uncle Brian for bringing us here.

Out for a bike ride. Nice quick find on way. TFTC

A nice walk along the shore. Next time I'm up in Auckland visiting my son who lives nearby I'll have to explore these coastal walks a bit further.

Came here on a wee detour on my way to work to get this one to continue my daily streak. Nice quick find on a pleasant, quiet and peaceful morning. Nice walkway. TFTC

First one today yay we are lucky

Gave this a quick search, obviously gone given the T rating, so put out a new 35 mm film canister with new log. Good to go people. Cache still at GL.

Looked for a while, must have been taken

No luck. Guess the replacement hasn't happened yet.

Will give it a look soon with tuolei and he will do a replacement if required. Thanks..!!

Unfortunately CO is not in a position to check this one, can a previous finder check and replace if it's gone please.

first cache of the day. Never a good start

Thoroughly searched the area with 4 sets of eyes, including a previous finder and were unable to locate the cache.

Four of us, Had a couple of goes, with no luck.

We found the ants and hoped that they might lead us to their cache-home but no they were having none of it. GZ is overlooked by some building work going on but we were here in the evening so there was noone around. The gloaming probably didn't help our hunting. About those buildings going up - are those going to be apartments? They'll need to gentrify the next door wrecker's yard I should think. Perhaps it's small offices or something. Anyway I can feel an ant has hitched a ride on my ankle back home, better go and deal to him. TFTC.

First time out geo-biking; took the kids for an out and back along this lovely walk/cycle way on a fairly windy afternoon. Nice easy little find, I made sure to keep it well hidden when we left. #167

Agree. Lots and lots of ants. Another good find

In the area dropping off some scrap metal for recycling so thought I'd take the opportunity to grab some caches When I approached the area it was in full view of some workmen on the construction site next to GZ. So I wandered off to grab another cache close by before returning when the builders had gone. There were ants swarming inside and out of the cache. I replaced the ziplock bag as it had a hole in which wasn't doing much to keep the ants away from the log TFTC!

The ants were inside, outside, up my arms and attacking my feet. Shook as many of them off as I could , signed the log and replaced the cache. Did I mention the ants? Nooooo! Well there were ants everywhere and they moved really fast too. TFTC I think.

Going for a family bike ride today and of course tick off a few unfound caches on the map along the way! Arrived here and thought we saw a geotrail. Tide was in and wasn't looking forward to going down but then spied the cache in its hiding place. TFTC

Brilliant find ! Again no pen though

After attending an HCMC Motorkhana at the Waikaraka Speedway carpark, I dropped down here to seek out this cache. Just after signing it, it started to rain, so beat a hasty retreat to the car, and decided that was enough caching for today. TFTC.

Found it. Lovely view.

Tftc!

On our regular night out and caching. found it with no much trouble. tftc.

Smelly all around so we could not afford to be **logy** and found the cache quickly, signed and moved further.

Thanks for the cache!

Covered in ants but stil tricky cheers

Three for three, it's still safe and sound

Thank you Uncle Brian for bringing us to this walkway. Another place we would not have discovered if we had not been out geocaching and walking the dog. Lovely still Sunday morning and a view to look at whilst waiting for passing muggles.

Picked this one up during my lunchbreak. Jogged down to GZ and jumped down the bank a little bit, which in hindsight was a little silly.

Right next to GZ there's a construction site and obviously a potential site manager was being shown around site! They stopped to admire the view! Luckly for me I managed to hide behind the flax and karo tree which provided next to full stealth cover. Sat there for a few minutes and waited for them to leave!

On exit I quickly picked up the cache. Thanks!

16/1/16. Found it while on a 6km run. Great cycle way and popular on saturday mornings. Beautiful view of the finished bridge. Brings back memories of walking in the bridge when it was first opened. Great cache and well concealed with the time passing. TFTC

Spent the day caching and found this lovely spot after lunch nearby. A short stroll got us a quick find and the geo-kid was happy to exchange trinkets (orange bouncy ball for a bracelet). TFTC

Out with lokky1 in the rain for the day! Quick find! Tftc

No sign.

Overlooked the obvious at first so was down the bank blindly following my GPS. I then thought about it and then found it quickly enough. Tftc

Great view.

Not a fan of visiting previously found caches but today i needed to make an exception. Picked up the TB located within as i need it to open another cache.

TB drop

Nice hide!

Awesome fun

Found it. Nice and easy spot.

#175 Had some time before a meeting today. Choose an easy one close to meeting to keep streak going. Nice spot.

Quick find before more muggles came along while on a bike ride

A quick find while enjoying the spring-like day and the cycle way. Cache was quite visible so I tucked it away a little to reduce the likelihood of getting interest from muggles. TFTC!!

# 29 Auckland

Easy find:-)

TFTC

Great find! Tkx.

Took a long walk from where I was working today since I had a few hours to kill.
Nice and quiet too so no problems with muggles.
Tftc

Cool find, nearly sprung by a muggle! TFTC

Nice easy find on an afternoon or cycling. Found by one of our four year olds. Thanks!

Found by the 4 year old:)

Kiwiscot19 in its entirety set off for a couple of cache during kiwi's lunch break. Busy little walkway considering it is a Saturday! Very quickly at GZ and cache located , signed and returned in the blink of an eye - or at least between muggles.

Nice walk along path easy find, tftc.

Found with Uncle Sam, NZtravellers, Keylev as a group called Sunday Strollers. Great day.

Found whilst out with keylev, laval and a group of others.

Thanks for the cache.

Found whilst out with keylev, cragger and a group of cachers.

Thanks for the cache.

The Sunday strollers - including Keylev, Uncle Sam and Browne Hornet, took a stroll down the path and found this cache. Wildly windy day but the sun was shining and the fresh air was good for the dog, kids and adults alike! Cache was in good order, left an angry bird. Signed as the Sunday Strollers today. TFTC.

A few of us decided to go on a mini caching spree today. After finishing the local multi we decided to take the walk along the path here.

The tide was out but the view was still nice today.

The cache was soon found at GZ and we were on our way. Signed as 'Sunday Strollers'.

Thanks for the cache.

Almost gave up because we didnt want to slip over and then we saw it! Cheers

Failed here previously, don't know how as it was an easy find today.

Had a couple of days in Auckland while Ms KR was in a conference, so what todo? CACHE! Found many parks never before visited.

Thanks for effort put your hides.

Late on a wet and very grey afternoon after a wander along the foreshore walkway, found the cache. Easy find.

Thanks for the view of the harbour on this cold autumn day. TFTC

Tftc

Was in Onehunga & a walk was in order so headed off down the Waikaraka Cycleway/Walkway. Thanks for bringing me to a spot I wasn't aware of, not too far from home.

We found the secret cache. Easy enough for a six year old. Thanks.
