Five DNFs since April and no word from owner ...
Please either check on this cache or disable it. Not even going to bother looking...

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 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
HAd a quick look, but had better things (lunch) to do with the afternoon the scramble through flax. Thanks
PB had a hunt for this one, but with time pressing on and a large number of places to look we continued our journey.
Like sp8sm8 I had a feeling of dread as I approached the hide... But it was soon in hand and we even had a friendly non-human visitor to talk to. Cheers for the Cache 
Nice little easy find.
Fell off the rolling pin at the park but all in good fun.

Would've found this one, but wasps had set up a hive within 2 meters of co-ords, notified a neighbour who called council. Thanks anyway will try again next time out this way
Hunted for a while, man I hate flax decided a milkshake would solve the heat problem. Another cache for the watchlist. :/
5506 Not a keen fan of these plants, thankfully the cache revealed itself within our time/pain threshold, nice blue park, TFTC.
A white cat watched us searching for the cache. Seemed to enjoy the company. Has the cat watched anyone else?
I hate caches like this, and will walk away. Thank goodness Mr KE is made of sterner stuff. TFTC.
Yep it's blue all right. Couldn't they find any other colours??? Still it's way more attractive than some of those modern fawn playgrounds they are doing to blend into the background, bright is good. Hides like this one normally have me walking away too but today we were on a mission so I took a look. Very happy to spot it quickly and be off again. TFTC.

TFTC.Turned out to be the last find of the day with Old Boots and Rosie. Don't nornmally like caches hidden in flax bushes but this one was kind to me. TFTC.
You description was wrong and correct. Correct that it was not the most innovative, wrong that it was fun. It is off the list.
Found on a hot and sunny spring day with the help of the resident cat, super friendly and cute.
we hate this type of hiding place - but luckily found the cache quickly this time. TFTC
I had to wait out 1 mum and her mugglets to depart before I left the cachemobile, then it was a quick signing and I was on my way seeking further Rolly caches. TNLN T4TC.
We felt as if eyes were on us,but after a little hunt and with the clue it was in our hands quickly.We are quite chuffed with this one as it makes 580 finds,and tomorrow we will be celabrating Geocaching for 1year.TFTC.
We did not know cache was disabled but came and walked on the rocks and had an easy find in a nice park. TFTC
Thanks drawp. We have been looking for this cache for ages!!!
Where abouts is it???
Where abouts is it???
Went and had a look for this one a couple of days ago but had no luck either. I wonder if it has been muggled???
Running around looking at various locations around the Rolleston area. Quick find.
Caching with Ariestiger on the way home from ChCh. 12/20. A quick stop but felt like we were being looked at. We also smelt doogy doo's nearby so signed and left quickly TFTC
We had read the logs for others before attempting this and sadly we can report we still hate flax!
Took the kids on their first geocache hunt. We gave each one their own cache and this one was found by our son. Yay, good fun for the family.
3309. We were on our way to Leeston to visit a friend in hospital out there so it seemed only right to look for some caches on the way. Luckily this was a quick find.
Thanks

An easy find. It was bitterly cold so no-one was silly enough to be at the park (unless thy were geocaching like me!!) It is indeed a "Blue Park" TFTC
Blue indeed. Wasn't keen on the flax to start with, but twas in a fairly safe and obvious position in hindsight... Cheers Gav [5916]
Always the bridesmaid!! I think the E coord reads a few digits too high, but an easy find. Usually I hate flaxes but not this one. Thank you.
What do you do if you have to go to Rolleston in a thunder storm? I know, go looking for your imaginary dog in the park and see what else you can find. A FTF was a good reward for going out in this weather.TFTC.
