Logs
We think we found where it used to be, but couldn't find any containers or boxes. Could it have been washed away by the flood?
It appears the recent floods have washed the cache away (again). We have decided to take nature's hint and will not be replacing this cache.
Awesome cache!!! TFTC! Fun adventure find. Easy but interesting. Dropped a Swiss flag off found on South Island
Took a wee bit ot find the tree but once found it was an easy find. . All safe & sound. TFTC
Very busy morning with Muggles out on their bikes and walking their dogs. Nice easy find. Cache holder very worn. TFTC
Nice easy find, geocache evening walk along the river with Hokowhitu Guides. Good idea to use a kete!
Slightly disappointed with this cache. The kete had rotted and the container was on the ground.
Found today after a nice swim. Fyi The pen in the cache is not working anymore and we didn't have one on us. Thanks!
Nice cache - log in good condition but the kete is falling apart. Still hanging in there but only just. Thanks for the walk 
Cool kete! Found at twigjlight, and have to admit I felt a little suspicious darting into the bush at this time, but cache soon in hand. Tftc!
On a caching trip to Palmerston North with Adventure Collectors. Quickly spotted. TFTC
On a geo-biking trip with Firewoof along the Manawatu River. This one was quickly spotted with good accurate co ords. No muggles to worry us.

Started to get a good feel for some locations. Like the identifiable location and then checking a couple options meant a quite discovery.
Liked the container for the cache with suitable camouflage. NZers shouldn't have too much trouble with this one. tftc
Ms KR went to Te Manawa, the museum, while did some biking along the river. We both did what we wanted to do! A nice hide, thanks.
Time to head home, next stop Martinborough.
Thanks for the hide.

Found, GPS took me to the wrong tree so I went around and around! Few muggles about. Cache very soggy, I dried off with a tissue and left a blockhead
Quick find while out walking the dogs biked past it a few times while on way to work but was always too busy. It was busy today but I waited till the perfect moment. am glad I did cos was rewarded with the smiley face ☺
There a a number of those trees in there. I put my hand in a birds nest the first time. Was obvious once I saw what I was supposed to see. Tftc
This took longer than I expected, but it became obvious when I searched the correct cabbage! TFTC
I snuck into the trees, kept still for a minute while passersby passed by then did my business with the LB! Yada yada yada!
Nice night hunt... make sure if its at night (like us) you have a good torch.
Was suprised it was just 'like that' an no1 has found it. The 'thing' it was in is beautiful. Would love to know who 'made it'
Thnx for bringing me here.

Quickly sorted once the correct tree was located. This cache certainly lives up to its name! TFTC

Have replaced logbook and kete, with some extra waterproofing for good measure.
Cache needs maintenance, hoping to get to it on Tuesday evening.
May disable it now that there are plenty of others in this area.

Easily spotted it once I went around the right side. Quickly signed the log before heading off to the next one. TFTC
Found with Geco72. Apologies for brevity, compiling logs almost a month later. TFTC.
After a lil bit of shopping (would be silly not to eh?) Davycrockpot and I enjoyed another river walk to grab caches. The second container is no more but the cache is safe. TFTC
An opportunity to visit Palmy and indulge in a spot of local caching. The kete is gone, the cache is adrift from its moorings and lashings are loose. But that didn't stop us from finding it and replacing it safely. Nonetheless, the CO's attention might mitigate the muggle risk as it is at present.
Log signed, cache safely re-hidden.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
you beuat!
The Turtle strikes again!

Nice quick find while hoping for the kids at BOTMM3 to leave. They didn't but one for the day is better than none!
Another quick find, but believe the kete is missing. Cache still in place, and all good otherwise.
TFTC!

Enjoyed finding this one. Was hidden away enough despite the many muggles out walking and cycling on a lovely fine sunny Sunday afternoon. Took the breast cancer awareness tag and will read its details soon and replace it somewhere.
Found it Great spot beaten to it again by my junior geo caching partner Dropped off the breast cancer awareness tag
