Sorry For The People Who"s Geo coins/Trackables Have Been Muggled In This Cache
The New Cache Will Be Much Secure As I Get Permission To Place A New One Somewhere Else Around Or Over The road from the bull?
Any ideas Contact Me
Happy Caching

On our beautiful trip from Auckland to Wellington and return we stopped at this nice spot and found this cache. We found many nicely hidden containers.
We would like to thanks everyone for showing us such nice locations and of course, the numerous caches.
Thanks and best regards from Germany

The Wooden Bull Cache has been muggled as so this cache is disable till further notices sorry for this.
Found on Mr & Mrs TallGuy789's honeymoon trip around the Coromandel and back down to Wellington. Felt very exposed grabbing this one. Had to wait for a while for a muggle in a nearby car to leave to make the replacement. Picked up a TB in paper passport form (have not seen one of those before). TFTC.
En route pour Wellington, on s'arrête à Bull pour dîner. J'en profite pour cueillir cette petite au passage. Vraiment impressionnant ce bull !
Took geocoin.
Drpped geocoin.

muggles all over the show, this is the first one I felt like I was doing something I shouldn't be lol managed to get it sign it and put it back without being seen added flag
There were some muggles having a look at the bull when we arrived but it didn't bother us too much as it gave us a chance to sit and relax for a bit with a cold drink. As we were waiting the signpost grabbed our attention and we had a chuckle at some of the names with our fav being 'Animal Hospit-A-Bull'. It didn't take too long for the muggles to disappear and we soon had the cache in hand. What a cheeky lil spot - well done.

Heading north after catching up with family in Foxton.
The Bull was busy today. I managed to retrieve the cache, but returning proved to be difficult. People were arriving, standing around, talking, and climbing. Had to employ all of my caching skills to screen out the replacement. This took longer to return than find. TFTC. Took out a geocoin and placed three TBs.

Loved this cache - what a beauty of a beast! Took some TB's to further them on their travels. TFTC!
I and JBG63 took these caches on our holiday to Australia and New Zealand. We went from home on the 5th of January and came back home on the 30th of January. First we stayed in Sydney for four nights and then we went to New Zealand, Auckland. We hired a car and drove up north to Whangarei and around. Then we drove back to Auckland and down to Waitomo caves, Rotorua and in Wellington we left our car. Instead we met a friend from work who was there as a guide with his Swedish group. We followed them in their bus from Wellington and down thru the west coast of the south island. In Queenstown we stayed for two nights and then we followed with the bus to a boat trip in Milford Sound. When we came to Dunedin we hired a car again and drove up to Christchurch from where we took a plane home thru Sydney, Singapore and London. We have had a wonderful trip and seen lots of new beautiful places and met lots of nice people. Thanks for all these new places and caches.
We stopped in Bulls for lunch while traveling from Wellington to Hamilton and collected this cache while letting the kids have a walk/ crawl around. Our two boys literally crawled all over the bull, which provided great cover for a quick search and find. Earns a favorite as much for the joy I got from watching them have so much fun as for the hide.
Took this cache on our holiday in New Zeeland. Took it with iza. Greetings from SWEDEN. Tftc.
Chec was out of the car like a rocket and found the cache before the muggles knew what she was up to.
Left Sluggy there to further his adventure.

Found after a short search. Loved the wooden model, only 'slightly' larger than the real thing!
Me and my sister spent a good ten minutes in the dark looking. Laugh a bull!!! My sister's first geo cache!!!
Picked up cache on way back to Wellington after being in Taranaki for Bowls Nationals. TFTC

Stopped off at a cafe on way to taupo amusing to see the bull theme everywhere. What would happen if it were not for the last minute
we stopped for some lunch and collected this cache. Enjoyed reading the previous logs but we can't think of anything sensibull to add so will leave it at that tftc
Our first find on our NZ holiday. Love Bulls, used to live in Palmy and still have to visit Bulls each time back visiting family. SL TNLN TFTC

I wasn't really able to search on a previous visit to Bulls. I wasn't confident that middayish on a Monday would be a good time either.
Things got off to a good start when I was able to snare the best parking spot in terms of partially blocking the view. After checking that the other nearby vehicles were not occupied, I quickly found the cache during a break in pedestrian traffic. Replacing the cache turned out to be just as easy.

Had to be careful of muggles here so posed for a photo as I reached under. Last find for the day on our way south for Christmas. Thanks.
We were abull to find the multi last visit so were pleased to see a traditional here. Reliabull coordinates and hint gave a manageabull find before the constabull could take interest. Time for some memorabull comestabulls then away.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Driven past this cache so many times, finaly desided to stop on the way home from a cache event in Palmerston ( 12-12-12 The End ). TFTC
On our way home to Hamilton after a weekend in Wellington. Always enjoy Bulls (and a chance to pun) so it was inevitabull that we'd stop quickly for this one. We only noticed the bull on the way down as we knew there was one here, hadn't seen it before, but it's been a while.
Found while surprising the kids with a north lsland holiday
Been to Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo and Ohakune. Now heading to Wellington.
If it wasn't for caches, we probably wouldn't find places like this to visit!

My knowledge-a-bull husband knew where this was locat-a-bull straight away. An enjoy-a-bull find in a not so chach-a-bull location due to the muggle-a-bull risk. Dropped off a track-a-bull. Ate lunch and was full-as-a-bull.
... found it ! ... a very funny GZ spot but the entire area is a muggle zone making it nearly impossible to make the grab without someone taking note. ... some nearby mutts in a parked truck yipped and yapped nonstop ! ... the play on the word "bull" throughout the town was amusing. ... TFTH
Funny little town and fun cache. Great sign post with many "bull"word-plays....ie. constable=constabull

Quick find with endmosteye44, hilarious and interesting spot thats for sure. TFTH
If Dad had of told us under front instead of under foot it would have been a quicker find. TFTC
On the last leg of our Mega Road Trip. Had stopped on the way down but failed to find it. Glad to have success on the return journey. Clever hide. SL. TFTC.
On our way to New Plymouth and stopped to get some coffee. Easy find while taking some photos. Second cache found in New Zealand.
WOW! 200 FINDS
* Thanks to The Geocachers Which Made This Happen One of the most sucessful caches i have ever had.

This is a high muggle area usually, but I finally passed it on a quiet day. Quickly found, signed and returned, before any vehicles passed. Thanks.
Now this would be a challenge on a busy day - you would want your excuse prepared beforehand.
What a fun spot and how appropriate for Bulls. Fortunately as it was getting on in the evening, it was fairly quiet at GZ but Mr Orsome4some frightened the life out of Miss O telling her a policeman was coming just as she was trying to return the cache to its hidey-hole. Not a popular dad for a while!
Quickly spotted but then I had to wait for a few muggles to move on before I could get the job done. TFTC
What a lot of fun local orgaisations and businesses are getting from their town's name.! Thanks for the fun.
I found it with tu2tracker, speedy12, and Dunc_nz. Thanks for the find.
