As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Attempted to find this today, lots of works going on here and nothing that matches the clue in sight. Note it hasn't been found for some time and think the owner needs to check and see if it is still there.
 
18-Dec-15
Oops, I thought I had already disabled this one! Must go and check on it....
 
Found this cache which always seems to be on again off again. Decided to tackle it today. Last person got it spot on with how wet and muddy the inside is. Took photo proof that we found it but not able to sign.
 
11-May-15
Possibly the most disgusting cache I have ever found. Definitely needs maintain work. Had this on the Ignore list, so with recent found logs, thought I would try again. Coords spot on, tho clue is crap. This is one TYREing cache.
 
09-May-15
badly needs maintenance put our own paper in yours was very wet and riped up
 
09-May-15
Keep on the walk to pick this one up earthwork going on here.The container is in a bad way.
Sign our paper and put in the container that is in a very very bad way log book wet and no Lid .But we sign it off
 
09-May-15
nice hide
 
02-May-15
852. Lot of earthworks going on nearby. Hint didn't help as nothing like that nearby. After a long look I found the container with log inside. The container is in pieces. Out of shape and lid no way will fit. Full of water and log though still in its plastic bag is so wet didn't try to sign. Needs new everything.
 
11-Mar-15
Is a lot of building work going on, would like to think it has been removed, but more likely to be our bad looking!
 
07-Mar-15
Very easy and fun to find!
Worth a go!
 
09-Feb-15
Very nice cache, hidden well
 
08-Feb-15
Woohoo!!!! Found it with geocacher prei after a lot of searching , the tyre hint helped
 
08-Feb-15
No log book but a cool little cache
 
17-Dec-14
I came up from Melville for a few caches and was disappointed to find a digger working near this one, so it will have to wait for another day Sad Thanks for encouraging me to check out this cycle/walkway.
 
07-Dec-14
The cache is placed on a nice spot. Next to a great walk/cycleway. But......
As previous cacher already mentioned the original cache is broken. and Jacky...jackie full of snails. I firstly only noticed this cache. Then started reading and found the other cache too...

Adjust the hint and all is working fine for this cache
 
22-Nov-14
We found this one about 18 months ago, but we're back in the area to place a new cache and we were sorry to see this one had gone, so we replaced it with a cache we got at the recent Spring Fling event.

It is now near the fence in the oft mentioned tyre which doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Hopefully the red spanner will soon be removed and the hint altered so other finders will have success.
 
17-May-14
This cache needs some serious attention. It is not in the correct place as described in the description,the is container destroyed and there was no log book so i added a piece of papper please look into this ASAP!!!
 
17-May-14
Cool walk/cycleway TFTC

28-Jan-14
The Freezer Mice strike again!!!
Out for a few caches with TFMs niece and nephew.
Sorry to tell you but your cache has been run over during all the earthworks, and needs replacing.
We put the cache remains in the old tyre near the fence.
TFTC.
 
06-Jan-14
Couldn't find today started getting dark. How far is it from the tyre on the fence line?

Thank you. David.

21-Sep-13
Family walk, children, parents and gradparents. hidden in the open. We were watched by the local horse riders so I was glad there were many of use so didn't look quite so obvious.

Great find!
 
11-May-13
Out and about enjoying some nice autumn weather. Didn't plan this trip very well, so ended up hitting caches as I remembered them.

Walked straight in from the multi. Started out expecting a reasonable hike, but it was over too quickly. Ground zone is fairly open and there's not much place to hide. Spotted a nearby farmer, so employed the 'take-lots-of-photo's-stealth-cache-disguise-trick'... or something like that. TFTC.

Found with my daughter Dayna Smile
 
25-Apr-13

Found with gianouts. Live so close but never been down this track. ..
 
07-Apr-13
We enjoyed stretching our legs a bit on the walk from The Waka roundabout which we had never seen before. Found with no difficulty. Left a cow and a bandy cowboy to ride the horses in the field opposite. I left his horse elsewhere. CITOed on the way back. Renaming the Demio the Dustbin. I didn't take all the full black saks I saw over the fence back at the car, just the one I found on the trail, plus the usual bottles and cans.

Last cache for the day - this one in the dark haha! I'm not sure I'd plant the "small shrub" at GZ at home but cache located and signed! Thanks for this one - will be interesting to see how the area develops Smile
 
09-Jun-12
Easy find. I wonder when they will actually get around to using this road. I remember it being formed 40 years ago then the money ran out. I guess the city will overtake it soon.

03-Aug-11
Think I approached this one from the wrong direction as I found myself walking across a paddock. Also was wearing suitable shoes.

But still, no stopping a geocacher. TFTC
 
02-Aug-11
Very cool, would have stumbled right over top of it if I didnt know what I was looking for. Took the TB for more journeys.
