Called by late at night. Walked from the gate so had plenty of time to find cache. Was at the CZ and very sure that the spot was right. But like others, no log.CO needs to check all is well and replace if required.
Dug as far as we could reach but no luck. Pretty sure it was the right spot too.
99.99999999% sure we found the spot - hole and everything! Nothing inside though...
Different hole same result. I came equipped with a glove and a torch but I could not find the cache. It could be buried very deeply but I could imagine the muggle interest if I brought a shovel

.A simple but pleasurable find during a picnic lunch in Moonshine Park on a hot and sunny New Year's Day. TFTC.
A quick bike and grab on this sunny Boxing Day ride. A woman was at the cache tree when I rode passed but had gone on my return. Not sure if she was a cacher or not. TFTC! TNLN
Used to live just round the corner. The area has become more green and gentrified since my time! The parks and riverside are still lovely . Thanks for the memory. TFTC
Nice and easy. Added a couple of swappable items as there was only 1 left. Thank you 
Took Luna out for a walk to our fav spot and while we were at it found this cache
Lovely day for a walk along the river in an area i had never before visited. Tftc! All in good order with Cassie 2010
with Cassie 2010Popular spot for Dog Walkers at Lunch time. Quick find between. TFTC and re-activating it.
#1160. I headed to Upper Hutt today to do a range of targeted caches. This one is my first 20 March date hidden cache and now need just two more to fill in the grid. I spotted the likely hide from the car and the cache was bit too obvious as I approached. Signed the log and tucked it back better to make it less obvious to muggles. A bit damp up here today in the valley. TFTC
Yes, it is a quick and easy find. Pouring with rain and windy. Just made it before it got dark and the gates are locked. TFTC

Confirming evidence of a cleanup here stumps removed, I would say along with cache. See photo
Good location but no container. It looks as though some stumps may have been removed.
Dropped off a TB that we thought we'd better leave in the NZ area as it wants to go to Australia. We didn't see the little blue bus TB tho that should be in the inventory.
A nice easy find for the kids after searching for ages and failing to find the Travel Bug Treasure Trove nearby.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Even on a weekday early afternoon we had to be patient for a little while before we could grab this one. But the weather was beautiful and so was the sight of the river and hills behind it. TFTC!

Was an easy find once I ignored the hint. I think it has been moved because the "hint" location is no longer useable. I covered it up as best I could and when I left a dog was sniffing aroud and marking his territory.
TFTC.

Found with partner and the wee ones didnt log tho so will haveto do next time
Had to wait for a herd of whining children to depart before claiming the prize. Thanks
Quick and easy cache to find while visiting NZ on holidays. Was hoping to find the little blue bus while here but unfortunately it was missing. Someone probably just hasn't logged it yet. SL, TFTC
cant believe that I left my pen in the car photo comi g for priif of find. gorgeous day for a walk in the park. lots of muggles.
We decided to walk a river bank circuit from Moonshine Park to Silverstream, across the bridge and back again. Checked out the cache situation in advance and saw there were a few to look for on the way. This was the first one we found, a nice easy find. Apart from looking for caches our walk kept getting delayed as we kept bumping into people we knew, coming the other way

. TNLN TFTCNice quick find with Bigcheese - liked the snail attached to cache which gave Bigcheese a fright TFTC
TFTCA nice quick find of a well hidden cache. When I pulled it out there was a snail attached, which I managed to unexpectedly grab. The sliminess gave me such a fright I ended up throwing the cache at my caching buddy! Thanks for a great laugh!! TFTC
Found with Trina.
A lovely park, I never realised this area was here. Just one gentleman walking his dog in the park when I visited so no issues making the find.

A quick easy find after reading the hint properly, although it was quite buried. TFTC
A nice quick park and grab tonight. I never knew this park was here. I will definitely be back in summer as it is a lovely spot for a picnic. There was no TB in the cache. TFTC
TFTC. Great river trail. Took young geojaydn on the back of the bike. Great exercise.
This was too easy, it had no cover. I tried to cover it better before I left.
Nice quick find for my youngest son to find. TFTC! There were no trackables in there, even though it said it was dropped off yesterday into the cache. I hope it hasn't been muggled.
Found it just as the batteries went flat on the GPS - phone helped to finish this find TFTC
Final of the 'nearly drive buys' visited today. Dropped TB. Took scout badge, left mini carabina with working LED light in it's place. TFTC.
Great view of the river. Watched a bloke fly fishing while sucking up the sun. I remember the old bridge that was here. Had a nice stroll down memory lane - though the young fella would tell you that he was "dragged" down my memory lane. Thank you
Found it! Almost had a close call with a muggle but luckily he was packing up and leaving. While he packing up, I pretended to take pictures.
found the place but bus loads of gypsys camped all around so will try another day when they have moved on
Time for doggy exercise and a walk at a different spot on the river...and the promise of 8 caches, unfortunately 3 were dnf 
A nice hide soon found. TFTC
