Just not going to work here in the tree anymore. Space for another cacher to hide.
Sorry to report but the container has been "muggled". Nothing but lid hanging in the tree.
A quick find here on a very hot and humid Christmas Eve. Cache nicely hidden. TFTC! 
Looks like it would be a perfect safe place to learn to sail. Tide was right out this morning which must be a bit of a barrier for the yacht club. I learnt to sail many years ago via the optimist/starling/laser route. Good fun!
Many thanks
Many thanks
Very high tide. No surprise with moon and sun working together. A quick find on a warm, dry and mostly overcast geoday.
Thank you for placing this cache.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
We were in Waiuku today for a family reunion, and decided to do a bit of geocaching afterwards in the surrounding area. A nice quick find, TFTC!

this was my second attempt at this one, first attempt cost me a new starter and injector pump for the jeep,now i`m set for more caches.be back for this soon
Excellent place for it - right out of the line of sight for most muggles around. Pretty wet day so just ran for it between showers 
Went with the doggies for a walk. Lovely spot and they loved the run through the mud and water. Nice spot for a cache too. Found it easily, no mugglers around. Thanks for bringing us out here. Would be a great spot for the little ones in the summer.
Was just about to give up looking for it when it caught my eye. No muggles round today so made my time consuming look slightly easier. TFTC
A beautiful spot with the tide in and the sun shining ...but no yachts to be seen. TFTC
Finally found this one after a few failed attempts due to muggles invading. This weather bomb = perfect caching conditions! Tftc
A muggle in a house near the sailing club kept a close eye on us as we walked by, but we were just a couple out for a Valentine's evening torchlit stroll. The cache was nicely placed to be out of his line of sight. Had just commented that this kind of hide can be hard to spot when we saw it. Whew. TFTC and for showing us this spot.

Staying at camp site nearby. went for a wonder and couldn't find it. Mrs Dandh had a mummy look and found it LOL. TNLNSL TFTC
In spite of many trips through Waiuku have never explored this waterfront reserve. Great spot. Yacht club deserted and not a single person in sight. Nice hide, thanks.
Bit of a breeze which obviously suited the numerous yachty muggles present here today. Nice spot, and well a placed hide, I enjoyed the visit.

Have moved the cache and changed the container size. No longer at ground level.
Checked it out today and yes it has disappeared into a huge hole under the tree. I guess its still in there but beyond reach or maybe muggled. Will wait until the area is repaired and replace then.
Looks like some excavation has been going on in area so not sure if it is still there.
May need checking. Lots of sand dumped over GZ. Couldn't reach anything, wondering if the site has been buried?
Out and about with Mrs TWS today, nice spot, nice hide

A relatively quick find in the only place it could really have been, given the hint. Here with Tufty. Thanks for the cache.
I convinced BaldEd to come with me out Franklin way to do a few caches today. I started looking at a pssible site but didn't have to do what the clue suggested though.
Cheers for the cache.

Great hiding spot! Found while hunting with Crazy Kea. Thanks for accompanying my cache at this lovely beach and view of the Glenbrook Steel Mill.What a great place! Cache easily found, no one around GZ. Tide was out today but it still looked great. TFTC.

A lovely spot, and one we haven't visited before, might have to come back when it's warmer to try out the slide.

Nice reserve so we stopped for a bit of a picnic (and to collect the couple of caches nearby) while the dog had a great time in and out of the mud/water. I liked the slide set into the mud. I bet the parents of the kids just love them coming home covered in the gooey stuff! It would be great mid-summer when the tides in!! Thanks.
I noted this morning that a couple of caches out Waiuku way had gone unfound. So I decided that if they were still in said state when the Future Finder got home from school, I would give them a go. Waiuku is a little further out than a rememebred. Wow, some great views here today. Had to take some photos with the cell-phone. Hide wasn't immeaditely obvious, but a little thought and carefull attention some bore fruit. First to find number 10. Cheers for the view and the cache.
