Its been gone for a while now and i havnt found a new spot so will hope someone else can find a space.
This has gone again. Like many of our caches it seems that the younger generation do not know how to follow simple requests and do not put things back as they should. Always the same. New cacher with a few finds and with a group of followers. I will try and move this one to a more discrete spot seeing that newer cachers cant be bothered being discreet.
Couldn't find this one today, pretty sure we had the right spot based on previous logs, it may be missing, i will watch and see
Yay...thank you so much for replacing. . .had afternoon off so drove down especially for this and a couple of others!
Cache replaced. Please put it back on the steel bracket.
Next time it is just chucked under GZ i will archive it. New members you need to play the game.

I don't believe this one has been found since the 2/4/18 and after checking logs and photos - there was no doubt we knew exactly what we were looking for and where it would be hidden. Cheers thejaybees - we'll just have to return 
Dnf for us today gave a good look at hint item and surrounding area. May need checking.
Family of muggles made camp close to the cache. Kids played in the park for an hour but made no sign of moving so decided to just be as stealthy as possible. Had a decent look around but even with clue we did not find. Will have to try again later in the day
Found on the 19/3/2018 in the pm 
was a lovely evening and a good ride on the flying fox !! Tftc

I am a German guy who stays in New Zealand for eight months.
My English is not perfect, so please don't wonder or be angry if my log entries sound a bit strange. Thanks!
----------
Today I made a Little trip by myself in my new Homezone area. Unfortunately I forgot the most important Thing, a pencil [xx(] . Thats why I add a Picture from the logbook to every log entry.
Quick find here after wait and see for muggles.

Under not on power box but not in playground either
More like something with flow
Still cared for

Awesome park never know it was here would definitely bring my daughter her. Cache was easy find pretty much in the only place you would think.TFTC.
Nice easy park n grab with RX. My kids love this park and we visit it regularly. TFTC!
not sure why Pollykiwianna says keep away from the park in their log but this is a great park. The slide needs supervision but the rest is amazing.
Visiting family in the area so dropped one at hockey then went for a walk while waiting for the game to start. Warm when we started, pouring when we finished. An awesome playground, lucky residents. Good hide. TFTC
Not being from this area I have no knowledge of the rubbish dump this area used to be but wow its a pretty cool playarea now.
We had stopped to grab some lunch and brought it here to eat on the massive table covering the storm water drain - nice feature and great for larger groups.
Kids had sooooo much fun on the two slides here. Oh and I found the cache.
Thanks for the fun.

This was a quick park and grab for us. There was only a few places it could be and sure enough it was in the first place I put my hand. Took a nice seat on the bench to sign then returned. TFTC
Cache check today. Please make sure you tuck it back out of sight from the playground.
Down in Pukekohe area to pick up some parts and thought would attempt a few caches on the way back to office.
Parked close to GZ and the initial muggle I had seen when driving there disappeared with their child in tow. However there was a telecom guy working accross the road but as I was wearing my hi viz vest he only gave me a cursory glance.
Made the quick find and signed the log on the nearby seat before returning the container.
Pretended to make a few notes on the installation gor the benefit of the telecom guy and then headed back to my car!!

AyAmalin There really was only one place the cache could be hiding !!
But some bloke was filling a large tanker truck with whatever comes out of the contraption at GZ [:o]
I was not prepared to out-wait him.

Drained water from cache. glad it was waterproof paper. Last day of our 4 day road trip from Hawkes Bay to Auckland and back to collect as many caches as we can. Log signed as b&p.Tftc
It's a shame it's dark as it would be interesting to look around. Thanks for the placement.
Managed to grab this one between passing cars. Looks a cool play ground. TinyTree24 would like it here!
Was in the area visiting a local church, and had some extra time afterwards. So out caching I go.
Saw the park and thought...ON NO! (as a single old guy they can make feel a bit uncomfortable) But this wasn't too hard

TFTC#11667. Just time for a few more drive bys on the way back to our accommodation. TFTC.
After yesterdays rain, today's forecast looked a little better so we set out to explore the area west of Pukekohe, as well as Clark's Beach and Kingseat. We had some rain, mainly in the afternoon but not enough to curtail our caching activities too much, especially as we are leaving the Pukekohe area tomorrow.
Not much action going on this afternoon, with the wet conditions. And too wet to try out the slide! Quick find. TFTC.

Had to find a cache for the day and was in the area and noted no young muggles around, so thought a perfect time to locate this one.
The red slide is quite impressive.
The hint made this one nice and quick.

Good find on a hot muggy day after a lap of pukekohe park on our bikes heading home for water!
heading home for water!We allowed ourselves a mini caching expedition as part of our New Year's eve shopping trip to Pukekohe. This was one of the few that we found as we said farewell to the 2015 caching year.
Some muggle management needed, and distractions worked a treat.
Cache find was straightforward. True to the coordinates and hint.
All in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!
