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.

CO hasn't logged on in over three years. Time for this to go.

CO needs to check this one

Did not find

Could not find it. With the increased size of the flax it may well be in there somewhere but no longer accessible.

Hi, it's been a year since this was last found. Please can the cache owner check that it's still there? Thanks!

Still no luck. It's a tough nut to crack all right.

Visited this tricky site on the way home from the gym but will have to return when it's not so busy. I had a quick squizz in the flax but a passing muggle took an interest so I scarpered. There is a steady flow of traffic and pedestrians first thing in the morning. I'll be back! Perhaps early on a Sunday morning?

Flex is really wild. There are marks of hard and long looking through. CO needs to check if it's still there and if it's still accessible. Ta

Wow ! base of 2nd plant or 2nd row ? Will return with big stick or machete and when have a few hours to spare . Ta .

Searched for a while, no luck

I've not found this yet. I work really close by and think I'll have to make a trip here at the weekend as there are tons of cars going by the whole time. I wanted to post this to let people know that there are birds nesting in the flax so please be careful!

So glad luck was on our dide

While staying in Wellington I like to make the most of the caching opportunities that present themselves and this collecting caches after work was no exception.
This is one of those spots that can be the cachers nemesis but thankfully this was not one of those times with the cache soon in hand

thanks for the placement

Detour on the way home in the rain. Started searching the wrong group of flaxes first. Should have listened to the geogirl - right on the money as usual.

Find #1949. Another day on the bike, cleaning up caches in the Hutt Valley. Curse the day caching and flaxes came together, and co-ord's that have you sitting in the middle of a flax garden. Found eventually. SL TFTC.

Took a little while to Locate but Selesi managed in the end. TFTC

Found with UlmusLynx. It helps to be persistant We only kept looking because we both hate flax bush caches and didn't want to come back. TFTC

Found in the flax. Thank you

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Another one found while out hunting with the awesome4sumnz, tftc

Wasn't sure what flax bush it was in but still found it.

I didn't have much time but others have been reporting an easy hide so I thought I'd give it a go. The good part is that I had to leave before searching too many horrible flax bushes.

Quick find on this one. TFTC

which group to search? found it and dropped off a geocoin. TFTC

Nice hide. The hint helped, sort of. I would add 1.

TFTC!

TFTC. Needle in a haystack job but got there in the end. Verry glad that this isn't a micro!

Good easy find. Gps played up so I had to use my caching skills... an follow the clues...

Woohoo! First find.

Found it

13893... There is a certain art to caching in Flax... glad it didn't take too long to uncover, last cache of the day before heading off to have an early Xmas dinner with family, TFTC.

I hate flax. BUT this was the quickest flax find that I have ever made. TFTC

Thankfully, a quick find. Harakeke and Toitoi can be nightmares. TFTC Aigantighe

TFTC' took a couple searches to find it.

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Could not find, coords were playing up. may have to re-calibrate gps

Hi. Can the Cache owner please mark the TB as "Missing". So that it can be removed from this cache.

Cheers
Sam

great find thought as there is three clumps of flaxes it took a while.

Down from Auckland to see family.

Nice spot.

TB is missing. (Cache owner - can you please log this as missing)

Took a wee while to decide which flax, as they all seemed equidistant.
Eventually 1SportDude came up with the goods.

Found it on my way from work.
Nice hide.
TFTC.
Would need a new plastic bag for the logbook.

Stinking hot day, clear blue overhead, and my GPS was all over the show. So rather than take forever I grabbed the hint after checking out the sign. Yup, thought so. But there were still five places to count from, so of course it was at the fourth one...

GPS debated GZ site for a while then settled bang on for quick grab between cars. TFTC

Quick find, hardest part was waiting for no muggles as it is a busy intersection.

Yay first ever find took a while but got it in the end.

Didn't expcet to do this one, but found it really quickly and lots of traffic made it a little bit harder.


TFTC!!

Quick find at GZ ... went for the closest one to the GPS coords ... and bingo!
Had been stuck inside with the bad weather and decided it was time to get out and blow the cobwebs out! Certainly achieved that!

TFTC!
with Fiddlefingers.

Finally got the right flax bush. Tftc

Cache #703 - did today with DownUnder Wanderer. The GPS kept wanting to put us right in the middle of all the different clumps, and we had a city worker who seemed to keep circling us in his truck. Finally found the right bush, and all is sorted. No trackable in the cache. TFTC!

In the area today & good to get this one sorted once I had the right flaxes. TFTC

tftc

Was struggling due to falling light and poor preparation, but got there by feel.

TFTC

Took a wee bit of hunting but then we found the cache in a slightly different place to where the clue would have us believe it was. Guess it depends on how you count things. Lots of muggles around but we just pretended to be very interested in the sculpture any time anyone looked too closely.

TFTC!

Not too many muggles today so I was able to sign the log uninterrupted.
Thanks
erninz

Funny - I always thought that was a business logo. I like it a lot more as a piece of art! TFTC

Hmm went round a few times to avoid muggles and trying to work out the closest point to match the hint. In the end it was where I was first muggled out. TFTC #3390

had trouble with a couple close to here so pleased to locate this one and finish the day happy. No sign of the tbs. Tftc

Lots of looks from the many muggles passing by, but found once GPS settled down, thanks to Jax479 for the assistance.

Found coin, easy find but lots of muggles to avoid. TFTC.

Found left coin

Quick and easy, but lots of muggles about. Had a close call, someone must of thought we looked a bit suss and took a photo of us

found with nzvermin muggles being nosy with there cameras lol TFTC

Pleasingly easy find.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found it at last. Decided to take a Kidhakla with me this time and I realised within 10 seconds that I should've taken her the first couple of times.
TFTC

It took a moment for the GPS to settle down and when it did it was between two of the possible options. Found it after a quick hunt.

Quick find. TFTC +TB

was a easy found by me as Jr taybee was look about 6 meters away look like the DNF run for today has stop. As this was the first found of the day TFTC.

Sign log book See taybee log

A quick find today after visiting the wrecking yard opposite. SL. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

All good

Did with CrystalFairy

When we got here, I thought this was going to be one of those caches and cachers we curse, but the find was almost instantaneous. Thanks for a great flax cache..

Poor harakeke! So unbeloved of geocachers, including me (due to arachnophobia). The GPS and the hint pointed me in the right direction for a quick find, on another mission to the Hutt with kjwx. Haven't ventured through this area before, so thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

Close to my work and never new it was there. Thanks heaps

A hard one to search with the traffic passing but we looked in all the wrong places first. Thanks Aigatighe

Good easy find. TFTC

I always dread hides in flax but fortunately it was a quick easy find.

Found with Richargr while rogaining in the area.TFTC Moved a coin on.

Found after checking out some of the options. Left Geocoin. TFTC

Quick early morning find TFTC Aigantighe

Found on an afternoon geocaching walk. Quick, easy find.

Found this at the start of a night rogaining event with bkj97 TFTC

Quick find, TFTC

Did a trackable swap dropped off teddy

A quick find in between the passing cars. I had just been to the wreckers yard on the hill and noticed that this cache was right at the gate so I couldn't very well pass it by. TFTC

Miserable day. The dog loved it. Didn't take too long to find. NINO TFTC.

Easy to find. We tried to find it the night before in the dark but couldn't see it. We went back the next day and found it easy as.

Not too busy today, quick find. NINO TFTC

Youngest EU crew member was more interested in the birds nest we found. TFTC

Nice easy find, busy road, Left Awesome Lei Tb took tb Clifton Suspension Bridge Tb. Thanks

GPSr put me right on top of, but still had a difficult time seeing it. Had to just feel around for it. TFTC.
