Thanks to evryone that did this cache - happy caching
Thanks to evryone that did this cache - happy caching After a few days on the Abel Tasman track we were in Motueka for the last night, so I took a 13km wander round the town. This one, no matter how or where I looked I couldn't find it.
Clear DNF, unfortunately no cache found. I think it is muggled. Thank you for showing this quiet part of the town.
Couldn't find anywhere, searched all bushes and through fences.. Unless it's hidden amazingly well I think it's been interfered with. U might want to do a little maintenance on this one. Prob hide it a little further away from the seat, looks like a few teens hangout here sometimes. TFTC
No sign of Wally, his seat was vacant and we quickly had cache in hand....signed and returned, tftc.
Out and about on a winter's Saturday afternoon and grabbing a few caches that I haven't managed to get to thus far. Pretty quiet at the GZ although a few dog walkers to talk with on the way in and out. All in good order. Completed formalities and replaced as found. Thanks niteowlnz for another Smilie.
Was getting some exercise after working from home for the day so a few local caches, this one was a quick find and all in good order. Not too many people in the park but one user did suggest to me that a few more seats in the park would be good. Thanks niteowlnz for taking me to a local park I hadn't been to before, it was lovely to use Wally's seat briefly and observe the Tui's which were very active at this time.
Hei folkens!

From Holland, we are on holiday in New Zealand. First we visit the south Island. we stay for 2 nights on the Top10 campground. Tomorrow we will walk the Abel Tasman Park, but now we are geocaching. And we did find this cache. Thank you very much.
Yes Found Wallys seat and the cache here. Cheers
The idea was to walk Mt Arthur so visiting I-Site for a weather forecast. Cloud and 1 degree for the week and need for snow equipment if going higher than the hut. I think I will give that a miss. And thankfully I did as it looked like it was snowing later on today. So staying closer to the water where its warmer and dryer.
Its Labour Weekend so Zara, Toby and I are off to explore Tasman for a few days. Its Monday and Zara rests up this morning before we head home. Toby and I are out exploring around Motueka.

I'm currently on my exchange year in NZ, but in the school holidays I got the opportunity to go on a tour of the North and South Island. On our short caching tour this afternoon we also found this one.
Thank you so much for the cache,

Another trip to Motueka and time to collect a few more caches. Quick find at GZ with no one else in this lovely park. TFTC niteowlnz.
Quick find as was easily seen so after signing tucked it away a bit lower down. Thanks for the cache

Nice find with sister and brother in law.
Nice little hidden park will definitely be back for a play with the kids.

Nice sunny day, and easy find. Dog (safely) over the fence not that pleased to see us.
GK spotted this one lying in the open as we approached so we popped it back in accordance with the hint and put an obvious (to geocachers) piece of camo in front of it. Handy seat right there. We are impressed with how many nice park areas are in Motueka - many more than we had ever imagined. Thanks niteowlnz for your cache
All quiet except for the dog. Nice quick find Cheers.
Exploring around Richmond, and the roads to Motueka today. There are a few caches around here!!
Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

After a great trip to the Abel Tasman NP yesterday, we had a half day to kill around Motueka and went for a nice walk around the town and the coast, not many people arround but a very nice surrounding.
Nice park with nobody around, so quick find. TFTC

Nice easy hide while walking around motueka. It is a big reserve here that had more amenities then I thought this park had. Find#217 & first geocache of 2017!!!!!!!
Because of the earthquake we had to change our journey. We canceld our tour to Kaikoura and went earlier to Abel Tasman Park. We had a nice Cottage near the sea in Motueka. This morning was time for running at the beach and back to our Cottage. On my way I found this GC very quick. But Wally was not here

Never been here before what a lovely park easily find thank you for bringing me here
We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.
Another nice park in our town that I've never been to. Canine guardian of cache said good morning . TFTC
Another fibd for today. 'Tucked' is the key to finding the treasure. Have a seat and enjoy the view.
Easily found the chair but took a little longer to find the cache. It was getting dark though Lovely little park though. Thanks for letting me see it
Lovely little park though. Thanks for letting me see it Thank goodness its back - after pulling out a lot of weeds last time. Thanks for replacing the cache 
#10320. We had no trouble spotting the seat, and Troodles soon extracted the cache. TFTC.
Noticed that this has had some recent finds after a string of DNFs, so we included it in our "clean up the remaining Mot drive bys" raid post event. Found a close by entrance to the park and so had a short walk to GZ. Spotted the seat, then soon located the cache. A very small seat, but big enough for me to sit while doing the paperwork. No one around to see us and another nice wee Mot park visited. TFTC.
Hope this one does`nt wander off,often walk thru here , a nice short cut. TFTC
Find #2452 while on a 5-day explore of the Tasman district. Best way to see a place is to go geocaching by cycling, so spent the afternoon finding some local caches and exploring the town. Cache was shining like a blue beacon on arrival so left it a bit better tucked away with some cover. SL TFTC
DNF today. Found a tiny metal lid for something so perhaps it's been muggled? Or perhaps we didn't look well enough.
Looked and looked. What we perceived to be an easy find on arrival we come up empty handed. No cache to be found today
No problem finding the area but just nothing there. 
didn't know the reserve was there. lovely park
