Out on a morning caching jaunt with the prime objective of picking off some caches needed for a couple of challenges I have underway. Its good to know that I hadnt been blind in my previous visits. Cache now replaced and I was in for a quick find. Thanks Boges#5582Found using Cachlymsc_20, formerly caching as msebn
Was heading back to Auckland with rebel98, so thought easy to turn in here and find the cache, and it was Back at GZ, the sun is shining so we are getting the views. Took a wander down to the corner, and was soon grabbing the cache from its hiding place. No problems here, thanks for the hide, and for bringing us here BogesAfter the car pulled off at Pokeno, but when we spotted the queue, 30+ people out on the footpath, and only one shop open, well the car just kept going!
Very happy to turn the blue face into a smiley- thanks for the maintenance and new container.
Had a big search in all the obvious places but no luck. Could cache owner check it is still here please?
Searched along fence line and under bushes in the GZ area but nada. Theres quite a bit of new soil and green waste in the area - I wonder has it been covered/buried? Older log with pic had background which I matched up but still no luck Bit wet and rainy which probably didnt help the cause eitherRoad trip back to Palmy from Hamilton has started with a Hopefully thats not setting the tone for the rest of the trip! PS love the name of this cache. Very ethereal sounding
Second time visitor but definitely a DNF for me. Thanks Boges#5201Logged using Cachly.
Searched around in the corner, on the fence, under some flowers, in the bushy shrubs, long grass, along the fence a bit. No luck. If it's in the corner, well that's fairly clear what it means and just did not see it there. Has it migrated elsewhere?
Scoured the "corner" as hinted and read through logs, but could not find this one.
This should have been an easy find. But I had no luck. I assumed it was in the back corner somewhere, but no luck. There was some fresh dirt in front of the corner, hopefully it wasn't there.
Will call in again and have another go another time.

Headed up to Tauranga today for Christmas. Picked up a couple of caches earlier and wanted one more before getting to Hamilton. This was it. Spent a few minutes looking for it. Took the hint too literally. It’s a metre or so away from where I spent most of my time searching under objects and in the grass. I was started to think DNF thoughts before I ‘widened’ my search and came up with the goods. #5652. TFTC.
I came out for another hunt and it was an easy find that definitely wasn’t hidden here a few days ago and a new log too. Im guessing Boges has been out here to check and rehide so a big thankyou Boges for the cache.
Had a good hunt along fenceline and under the shrubs. Someone had put a pile of hedge clippings under the shrubs so not sure if container has been removed or we just wernt looking properly and missed it
Nice Place To Stop For A Rest On Way Home To Hawera,Nice Sneaky Hid .Didnot Think It Was The Cache When I first Found It Had Never Seen One Like It Before ,Cache All Well,Mad Traffic Wizzen Past Had To Be Careful Getting Back Onto Road To Head South.
Finished at a nearby lake and headed into Hamilton to collect a camping purchase, grab some lunch , then onto another lake cycle.....
Nice little spot here......

Heading south, but was able to swing in easily on the other side of the road and park safely. Nice quick find at the hint location, TFTC
Heading home after a day walking around Lake Ngaroto. A nice quick find here though the e cows muggled us and were very vocal about it!
Thanks Boges for replacing this so promptly after our recent DNF .
Cute container....easy find!

Searched where we thought it should be and in the area. Its quite over grown and hard to tell where flowers would be. Not sure if we just weren't looking in the right area or if its dissapeared
Sadly couldn’t find. I love keeping a visual diary of all the ones I find and this place is so serene and beautiful despite the road just behind. Can we confirm it’s still there somehow?
Could not find not sure if its because the lawn is over grown or im looking in the wrong place. But still a nice view
Fascinating to visit the cemetery with all the deceased priests in one place. Quite moving really. Just a pity it’s so close to a SH
Beautiful view of Pirongia. Interesting info about Ohaupo.... I'm thru here regulary and even tutored a boy maths here and never knew it was known by its Bohemian settlers. Have left a wee bit of colour for someone else.

Nice and easy to get looked like a had had a go at it put back where map indicated so all goods now
Nice, I think it had been moved though. It wasn’t in it’s normal spot I don’t think.
Great place for a cache... and nobody around today so it was a fairly quick find. TFTC
I am traveling with my daughter Lucinka mundlinka and son Negrritos across the New Zealand. We are from Prague, Czech Republic. We love "geocaching", the main target is caches )
Many beautiful caches, amazing and unforgettable experiences, thank all owners, TFTC )

I'm from Switzerland and spend 4 months in New Zealand on vacation. Found this cache after a few minutes search, thanks.
Today we made the last long journey (from Waitomo to Auckland) during our New Zealand trip traveling. As we had plenty of time on our way over there we made several stops to find cache en drop off trackables where needed. Thanks to all the owners for hiding and maintaining them.
Found after first searching under the wrong flowers...

On a geocaching adventure around the country with myself, my car and my tent. Drove almost 4000km and collected 170 caches over a week of roadtripping, camping and seeing the beautiful sights of New Zealand. Lots of fun and so many great caches were found, as well as a lot of DNF's. Apologies for copy paste post. Thank you to all cache owners. Day one driving from Hamilton to Wellington. Thank you for the cache
Down in Ohaupo today to do some blueberry picking and collected a few caches afterwards including this one. Came up the road from the blueberry fields and pulled off safely at the cemetery and took the short walk down to the cache.
Cache was not hard to find at GZ. Looks like a cacher had thought to add a silk flower to the cache which had left an air gap big enough for a colony of ants to sneak in so removed them and the flower and signed the log. Put back together and replaced. Thanks for the cache.

On our way to Te kuiti from Auckland we stopped to find some caches. This is a lovely spot for a cache and we enjoyed stopping here to look for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
This was the twelfth day of my twelve day trip to go to the Wellington Mega. Sadly, it is time to head for home.
This was a nice place of remembrance.
The log is wet and the decoration came off, so I reattached it the best I could. TFTC.

easy find on 14/10/18 no lid had water inside. log wet but managed to sign. needs maintainence
Easy find, couldn't find the lid for bigger container but managed to sign it. Might need maintenance. LS TFTC
Cache completely full of water.Tried to dry it out in the Sun and replaced so it might keep a little drier. TFTC.
On a day out with grandkids and family quick stop after doing earth cache at Lake rotopiko did find old cache as well both in spot now
Had quick search but see someone has already mention maintenance so think it has gone completely now
Cache container as found looks like it got hit by the mower. Lid is scrapped and container was upside down, barely contained. Needs some love.
Always love a great cemetery cache. Had to make a u-turn to come back for this one. Stopped and got out and started walking. Finally found the cache. Not well. Signed as best as could then took a walk around and read a few stones, then the monument stone. Always like seeing/learning history in the areas we visit. TFTC!!
There are no flowers here, container is out in the open, broken and log book soaking wet
First cache for the day, somehow we missed the stop and ended up in Ohaupo but managed to turn around. A quick find but as per previous logs needs maintenance, managed to sign the log but exposed and the lid is broken. Replaced upside down but not weatherproof.
Found after enjoying the view.
The cachebox is wet. The log is a bit wet too.

We've driven past here many times but never with enough time to stop and find the cache but we had plenty of time today. A good view of Mt Pirongia from here. The cache was half full of water so we dried it out as best we could.
+ a marble, - nothing.

What a awesome view!!!! Garden has been cleared, cache container exposed now. All good. TFTC
Found with trayc.g, logging now as I have my own account. A quick stop here and find. SL and on our way again. TFTC
On our way today from Hamilton to Turangi and we stopped here to find the cache. I've never visited a cemetery with so many priests all buried in one location before. Thanks for the cache which is now in plain sight but seems safe.
On our way to the mega. Visiting from Australia and was somewhat puzzled by the name of this cache. Easy find in an interesting cemetery. TFTC.
super quick find, I think the CO may want to visit this one, no longer a little container, but a bigger one that is out in the opwn for everyone to see, I have taken a photo if the CO would like to me to send it to them
thanks for the placement.
thanks for the placement.
a quick find, cache was almost full of water, dried as best we could and replaced, tftc
Driving back to New Plymouth, have to pick up some caches along the way, found it, but like others have mentioned, it is now a small container, I have taken a picture on what you are looking for, also I dried it out with a towel and put a new piece of paper in within a plastic bag to use as a log, as there was nothing at all in there apart from a rock, tftc
Was having a geocaching day with Nahkins. She was doing the driving as I have a broke elbow. We had 14 on our list. #7. This was quite an easy find except the container was different to what I was looking for. Nahkins found. Log wet. SL. TFTC.
Out geocaching with NZPatoto (AKA 1 Arm Bandit.) I was doing the driving as NZPatoto has a broken elbow. We had 14 on our list. #7. Parked opposite and had to dash across the very busy road. Glad I don't own a house along this route. Flowers are out and I found this quite easily. Not the containter I was thinking of. Log wet dried it as best we could. TFTC. Had a walk around and really loved these little flowers growing everywhere. Tiny and delicate.
I have driven past so many times without realising this cemetery existed. Had a nice chat with the cows next door.
