No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
Cache no longer exists. Owner obviously has no intentions to maintain the cache. Archive?
Cache gone. Out caching with starshine78, NZLats + phillsie - NZLats and I have found this one previously and can confirm it is not here anymore.
Did a thorough search today of the location and there is definitely no cache there.. Suggest owner take a look and replace if appropriate..
Couldn't find it. Didn't have a chance to look properly due to Christmas-shopping muggles but couldn't feel anything either. Will try later.
TFTC. Once I saw the light a snappy retrieval was necessary due to the potential of being muggled from any direction.
I think the first example of these I came across was in Wellington. There was only one place the cache could be and there it was. TFTC, Biggles.
Found by The Empire @ 8:55am
Day Nine of 'The Empire Invades NZ' Tour, 2011.
An LPC! These are loathed in the USA but apparently appear everywhere like a mouse plague. I'd only found one of these in Canberra before this one. Thanks natnatnat.

Quick find this afternoon while the family spent some money in the nearby shops. Muggles returning to their cars delayed the return, but all good in the end. TFTC
Had an or so before needing to be at the airport so collected a couple of caches.
How loud can you be retrieving a cache? Pretty loud for this one. Thankfully no one was around to hear and I was protected from muggle eyes by a line of cars.
A neat hide.

Saw on facebook that today was International Geocaching day so thought I'd better pop out and nab one. SL TFTC
I had one idea where this one could be (after watching headhardhats geo snip-its) luckily enough i was correct. Very clever TFTC 
found in second place we looked.
Clever hide, would have struggled with this one without hint. Took photo instead of signing log (no pen!!!). TFTC [^]
A quick find, TFTC.

Very busy here, but a quick find for StreetWalker while I tried to act as a shield.

Found during a day of very mixed caching fortunes, compensated for by the glorius weather and the laziness of the south coast ambience.
Seen these types of posts and their special characteristics used for cache hides previously. So, quick drive up and find on this one (made up for lots of recent frustration nearby). Signed the log and safely rehidden, as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Quick find but had to wait out muggles who parked close by before we could replace cace. TFTC.
Decided to walk from Kilbirnie to the airport with my luggage - good for geocaching, bad for arms. t4tc
I groaned when I arrived at GZ. However, I soon ascertained that all the vehicles were unoccupied and I carried out a very quick grab, sign and replace mission.
Nice cache! Waited for some staff from the Warehouse to finish their break and the cache was soon in hand! TFTC
Managed to park right by the cache, which obscured the view from any muggles in the area. Quick and easy.

Here bright and early and guess what, I had to wait for about 10 minutes for some muggles to leave TFTC
Quick find.There were a few muggles but they were too busy with their shopping.Thanks.
Turned up to find the streets quite packed with people, turns out some famous Bollywood actor had just arrived in town and was made an exit from the airport by the back door. Luckily the crowd dispersed quickly as he drove away, and it was straight to the cache.

Thanks Tmann for leaving the parking spot. Quick find with Bkj97 - location similar to a car park in the Hutt valley so no problems locating. T4TCSL
Was a quick find in the first spot that I looked in as I have being in this area before doing another cache so it was an issue, managed to park the car within metres of GZ which was good as it block the GZ from the views of the muggles. Thanks for bringing me back to this spot again, TFTC TNLNSL (2566)

Approached this with trepidation after seeing the log about the cache nearly falling into a drain! No issues though, doing the adjacent multi was a useful diversion while picking the right time to avoid muggles one of whom parked right at the GZ while I was holding the cache at a safe distance then he went into the shop while I was signing the log, came out before I could return the cache then he moved opposite to load his vehicle with some heavy items he had bought. By this time I had retreated to a safe distance with the cache safely stashed in my bag! Fortunately loading the goods didn't take long and once he left all was clear long enough to return the cache before a trolley boy came into view! Phew! TFTC and the fun. Log orginally showed this as 21st because I can't change it from mobile, now fixed.

Time for One last cache on way to airport pick up...spilled over in 22nd as pumpkin hour had just passed. quick find tftc
A quick find. Huntleigh Junior had to do a diving Brendon McCullum when we lifted the clue and the cache container caught the wind and headed off towards the stormwater sump.
3TF. Called here on the way to work this morning, an instant find with almost nobody around. The early birds had been and signed the log long before. I couldn't help feeling that this cache would have been more fun without any hint at all, it would still have been pretty easy. Signed log, TFTC!
#1942. Easy night find, with no muggles around. Imagine this would be much harder during business hours. TNLNSL. TFTC.
2TF
Touched down about 2.20am after finishing work and was soon back in the air, with all aviation paperwork completed.

FTF @ 22:45. Was very happy to see a fresh logbook on arrival . A nice hide and found without too much trouble while no one was around - can imagine a lot more stealth will be needed during weekend shopping hours! TFTC.
