This took longer than I thought it would. In fact I wondered whether recent tidying operations had seen it gone. However a little more persistence and it was in hand.

On quake break with mother and allowed to find one or two.
 
20-Mar-11
After a short search I thought it may be gone, then tried a bit harder and found the well hidden cache. SL Left GC TFTC
 
18-Mar-11
Yay. Much easier without a council crew at GZ. I agree with previous logs: the council workers have left the cache - no way it could have been missed. That said, moved it 30 cm so it isn't lying in the open! TFTC
 
found on our walk around caches of hokitika

Nice wee spot. Tftc.
 
28-Feb-11
Cache still in good condition despite the gardeners. I would have thought this a private driveway except for the cache's explanation. Good on ya Council for cleaning it up. Cheers
 
27-Feb-11
Nice little bit of bush, some recent work nearby but cache all good.
TFTC
 
17-Feb-11

14-Feb-11
The park is having a bit of work done on it, but the cache is all safe!

I initially thought that this cache was a goner with all the tree felling work around about.
But, no, safe and sound.

Quick grab trees being cut down near GZ. TFTC

Unbeknown to him, thanx to drawp for showing us the location. Our phone said we were 17m from GZ when we were standing above it.

I assume he thought we were muggles because he left in a hurry.

Whoops. Tree down and council clearing it. May need a cache check! Smile

The chainsaw gang have been very busy and not light of foot. Searched a little location but turned up nothing. More that just the large mak have been cut to bits to, it resembles the amazon after deforestation.
 
27-Dec-10
Locked out as it appears a large tree has fallen over inside the area.

Combined FTF with Twigster. (Moneydork must not have seen our log in the book?) Took quite a while to track this down, but were not going to give up with a FTF up for grabs.
