Me and my sister took about 5 mins and then we found it so thank for potting it there because we live just down the road.
But I think some one needs to go down there and fix it with an ear tight bag because it is really wet so thanks again

Cache is still there and in need of attention. Doesn't look like the cache owners have been active for a couple of years now
Suspect this might be gone. Pretty sure we had right spot but no sign of it.
Found as part of my Post Mega northen road trip. Really enjoyed a part of the country I hadn't seen before. Thanks to all those who have placed cacahes to encourage us southerners to come your way!
Very wet - drained the water and closed up again, but needs drying out and new log
Nice quick find.
Very wet - couldn't sign log.
Introduced some rellies to Geocaching

Interesting little track. I've lived close by and have flown kites here before... its actually a good spot selfishly limited by the massive power lines! Need to come back and explore the tracks later. Nanogirl was having trouble reading directions.. Lol

A regular haunt for us at this park and always funny once you start caching to find out there was one here all along! Sunny windy arvo. Cache wet but switched bag for log. Raised off the ground.
Approached from the lower side to find this took a while for the GPS to settle on GZ then a quick find. Still a bit damp inside. TFTC
Never been here before. People out walking dogs etc. Cache wet but log dryish. Dried it out as best we could. Thanks
9 - Found with a bit of hunting. Pink117 found it without really trying (pj42 maayyy have been looking the wrong way..). TFTH
Found. Needs a little maintenance as the box is quite wet. Nice park, much bigger than it looks from the road. Will have to bring the dog up here for a run.
Mrs CHLYBN found it while we were admiring the platted palm leaves! Interesting!? Completed some cache maintenance and dried it out and refreshed it's contents. Last cache today. T4TC!
Followed the instructions as we crossed the park to GZ, and soon had the cache in hand. All quiet at GZ - no Cicadas at this time of year. Looks like a good place to explore further. Thanks.

a day to catch up with some of the new caches around Whangarei. Pretty little park and historic stone walls. The log is dry but the goodies are beginning to rust.
7065 Nicely hidden and a great wee location, great clues made for an easy find, TFTC.
Was out with tikitour finishing the A-Z series and we had time for a few on way back home - nice park and nice hide - TFTC
nice park, been here a few times, nice trees.Out for cache day with flowernz. TFTC
4054 Great spot to let the dogs have a run around, they loved it. Lovely area, thanks for bringing us here. TFTC
This one was tricky, we searched and searched but with no luck! Will have to go back with a GPS and try again! Glad to see it's been found recently!
What a beautiful park in a pocket of town I've never explored. We loved the trees. Thanks for introducing us to this place & the cache. 
I still have a new kite form Xmas, but this was definitely not the place to try it out , LOL
Vintage GPS left me struggling under the trees, but the clue set us straight. Autumn seems to be setting in...did not hear any cicadas but plenty of crickets were starting to chirp!

Lovely walk down the bush, cache needs to be sealed by finder better (there was water in container)
2.15pm. A hot walk today from a few hundreds meters up the road. Took a while to find the right spot. Left two TBs.
Thank you. David.

Saw this pop up on my radar about 10:30pm last night, but was more worried about being mugged rather than muggled at that time of night.Forgot all about this park.Went out this evening with the young buck and picked up the cache. .NINO.TFTC.
