Logs
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.
Sorry I submitted a further needs archived as I thought time was up but still a couple of days to go so deleted the log, not that we are likely to hear from the owner in that time!
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
Cache has been missing for some time and owner hasn't logged in for quite a while. Time to free this area up for someone else maybe?
Logs indicate owner needs to replace cache and 2 trackables to be marked missing in action, maybe?
Was heading to find this one today, but noticed it was no longer there.

Did not read the previous log, so found the bag as described without the container. Definitely needs maintenance and should be disabled in the meantime. This cache will surely not survive the next heavy rain.
Found the bag without the pink container. Took the trolley travel bug so that wouldn't get stolen aswell. We left the bag where we thought the original cache was. (under the tree in a hole in the dirt) please no one tamper with it until it's been fixed) Ty.

After quite a bit of looking (Phone GPS was bad, google satellite imagery more useful) finally found the cache.
Had to re-read the description. Step back and ponder, with a little walk around it finally jumped out at me.

Got in the end. The GPSr had me all over the place initially but as I walked up the path spotted it . TFTC
Found this by mistake with no idea what a 'geocache' was. An interesting way to stumble into the world of geocaching. What to expect when you find a little container hidden!?
Early morning find. 1 st in NZ. In New Zeeland for the rugby word cup. Go BOKKE.
Quick find after initially walking straight past the cache (GPS off a little under the trees). TFTC.
The old Garmin wasn't too good under the trees today, so I had to rely on my eyes, which after a brief search they found the cache TFTC Gut-4orce
TFTC. A nice wander down this path and I had no knowledge of the cache location. Then I stood back and used my eyes!
After a false start with the wrong path chosen, the cache was quickly located with eyes rather than GPS which was wandering around a bit. TFTC.
Find #713. We parked up on the opposite side of central park and ended up walking 90 metres to the cache (which isn't a big deal). The GPS decided to take a satellite snooze around the time we arrived in the area, and it really didn't react well to being woken up, swinging in all directions and telling us we were getting closer when we actually got farther away. We finally found the cache though, in a place we should've looked first. Linking the hint and the container was very off-putting. SL TFTC.
Approached this one from the wrong direction so had a bit of climb to get to it.Searched in all the difficult places first until I noticed the hiding spot.Thanks.
I decided that as the weather looked promising, I would make this the destination for my lunchtime stroll. A quick find in a nice location. TFTC
Walked up from the CBD via Brooklyn Rd during lunch break. The Etrex was still acquiring satellites when I spotted the hide. Nice and easy, thanks.
A quick lunchtime visit, obviously I take a later lunch break than Troodles! A nice easy find, not too far away from where I recall finding another cache.

Quick find - and a quick trip down memory lane as I recalled my stumblings at the previous cache mentioned.
Took the geo-bloke with me - despite visiting in daylight hours - and heartily endorse RobNZH's comments about taking care at night. I was lucky to escape here unharmed one Friday night while hunting another cache in the area.

A familiar area as I used to have a cache myself just a little further down the track. Found by the junior member whilst I was still in ponder mode as to were it could be.

Arrived here with Mrs Yeetrees after doing a few things in town and as I got closer to GZ realised that I had already found a cache not far from here, after finding a park Mrs Yeetrees soon found the hiding spot of the cache, thanks for bringing us here, I hope that the cache will stay here for some time, TFTC TNLNSL (3276)
Quick find after work to complete a dot day, TFTC. I note the cache has no attributes
2TF. I really wanted to go after this one last night but couldn't discharge my parenting duties, alas. Grabbed on the way to work this morning. TFTC!

Enjoyable lunchtime stroll, as I was walking up trying to get some reasonable satellite coverage I bumped into StreetWalkerNZ coming down!
Nice to have another cache in this area after the previous one was archived.
Coordinates weren't too bad as far as I could determine with the tricky GPS reception.
I recall that in reference to the previous cache there were mentions that this was not a safe area at night, I am not sure how true that is that days but I think some caution may well be justified in view of the types that do hang around the vicinity sometimes. Just found an article that says the council won't put lighting in here because it will give people a "false sense of security"- I am tempted to get political about that but this isn't the place....

FTF @ 21:00. Couldn't resist a walk from home on a beautiful fine calm evening, even if it was fairly chilly. Found cache after a short search, the GPSr was leading me into terrain incompatible with the cache's terrain rating so I had to do a bit of hunting around. Signed log, TFTC!
