Pretty sure this isn't here any longer. Searched under, around, inside all within the GPS radius & no luck. Good luck to future searchers!
No luck today. Good hunt for it was fruitlessly

One off our stop on day one of the local vintage car rally what a magic lot of interesting exhibits in the museum. Well worth the stop.
An interesting stop on our trip back to the mainland after a bit of a road trip to Auckland. TFTC
Found the cache before visiting the museum. There are lots of interesting exhibits in the museum. Well worth the stop. TFTC 
.
.Found very quickly. Was surprised at how easily found, and surprised it has never been muggled. Signed and put back oput of sight. Thanks
on our long holiday to taranaki and back to gisborne, a loop track. nice easy find, always wanted to stop here but never did till now. thank you for that. even stealthed a kiss in the red phone booth out front.
Great cache but super stealth required. Tourist bus, busy road and lots of people around!
First cache for the new year, museum wasn't open so roamed the outside items
There were many many places for caches to be hidden but it was a quick find after weighing up the options. TFTC
Cool find! Logbook needs more room, FYI. Mind you, last log was 2 months ago, guess museum in CHB isn't a top traveller destination... 
Museum just opened for the day, but no muggles around but someone from the museum who obviously knew the cache....
Nice museum - thanks for showing!

Found this one today. I went in circles with this one before coming back near to where I started from and locating the cache. Signed log.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Found it on log date (with Rolkal and Tarkal) but haven't been able to log it til now, sorry about that. Anyhow, TFTC!
Logged together with Tarkal and Linnkal on our vacation trip to New Zeeland. Between looking at the great views and experience the typical NZ "things" we will mange to find some caches 
. This was one of them. The cache was quick to find on good description, maybe a bit to quick since I saw the cache at distance. I took the liberty to move it a few cm when I replaced it so it isn't visible like a D1, it is a D2.

Found while walking the dog. No muggles as it was getting late, shops were closed and it was quite dark out. Log was very full and wet, but we managed to add our name and date.
Worth a FP
Heading for Napier but Caches like this break the journey many thanks

#5637. Good place to have a break in the journey. Unfortunately, Easter Bunny was not in the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Nice one. Pity we didn't have time to browse. Would recommend plenty of time if yr interested in history. SL. TFTC
Just popping to the super market and flicked geocaching on. Only a few meters away couldn't believe it. A great cache for people passing through.
On our visit in NZ, I got my dad and my swipsiter to go for a Geocache and 2 Kilometers away from their home, we had the luck to find these Cache. TFTC and Greetings from Germany!
It was my first cache and I loved it , I did it with my stepdad helly and step sister Julia and it was fun
On a mission to find 50 caches in one day all at least 1 km apart. Left Hastings in the morning and collected the required 50 by the time we had reached Masteron. Mission achieved. Thanks for placing this cache and enabling us to complete our mission.
First cache of the day. In the early morning it was an easy find - noone around and them museum opened only at 10 am... TFTC (#9654)
Not so quick drive by. Bought a table while I was at it from the shop over the road. Tftc
On a cycle trip around parts of southern Hawkes Bay. Lovely countryside. TFTC
2:26:00 PM. Home for a week to catch up with the family. Out for a look around Palmy and catch up on a few caches. They have certainly sprung up in the last last 3 years since we were last back. A trip to Napier and back back today to show the better half a bit more of the country. A quick park and grab. TFTCSL
Some interesting items in this area for us to have a look at on our way north. Liked the hide. TFTC
Headed out on the first flight to Wellington Saturday morning with FMZ and Lostcourse. Relocating a vehicle back to Auckland meant we had a big caching road trip ahead of us...! We headed back through the Wairarapa towards Napier, clocking up the numbers through skindo land. Sorry for the copy/paste log as its now all abit of a blur having cached for 36 hours with only a few short naps in between. Enjoyed the drive through these rough and winding gravel roads and saw alot of interesting sights.
36 hours, 1,200km, & 315 finds made for an epic adventure! Many thanks for the cache and the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it!

Headed down to Wellington for a fly-down-drive-back-caching weekend with mike-miss and Lostcourse - basically a caching binge drive back to Auckland, caching under the moniker "Team F.M.L." We headed out of Wellington as quickly as possible to get some serious caching done in the Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay before heading back to Auckland. Apologies for the copy/paste log, but we found >310 caches in 36 hours and for many it's hard to remember specific details. We headed through a bunch of interesting winding back roads and saw a lot of beautiful sights and historic spots. We shared the driving and stopped for about an hour to catch some shut eye in Pongaroa before continuing, caching all the way. Saturday was my biggest caching day ever, and this Feb, after just the first 36 hours, is already my biggest month ever. TFTC!!!
Took the first flight down to Wellington on Saturday for a fly-down-drive-back-caching weekend with mike-miss and FMZ - basically a caching raid across the North Island.Team FML! for the win! We headed out of Wellington making a beeline for the Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay before venturing back to Auckland. We headed through a bunch of interesting winding back roads and saw a lot of beautiful sights and historic spots that only geocaching could have bought us too. We shared the duties around and took a few micro naps when ever prudent. Saturday was my biggest caching day ever, and this February, is easily my biggest month ever. Cheers for the cache placement!
Spotted it sitting in the open as it had fallen from its place. The magnet was chocker with rust flakes so I brushed them off and replaced it above where I found it.TNLN
A trip to Eastland and a couple of caches along the way
Gave up at the wrong vessel then Mrs Capperz suggested an alternative hint interpretation, Duh, of course

Beautiful object in the front of the museum. We enjoyed to make a stop at this place. Thank you for the cache.
This one's been missing on previous trips past.
A few muggles around today, but not a problem really.
Nice little museum - glad we stopped.
Left a pet rock - a bee. TFTC

Quick toilet stop for Graemey so Mrs Graemey and I made quick search. Found by mrs Graemey. Took TB to move on TFTC
Found easily even with a few muggles around. No sign of the TB but we dropped one off
Out on a Geocaching road trip with my wife and dog, and having a run in our new convertible.
Not too many people about today, many places still closed, so made it easier to retrieve in quick time.

Quick find after topping the geocamper with diesel and ourselves with ice cream TFTC.
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
Most Christmas holidays involve a road trip of some description and this year is no exception. Today we left Napier and headed to Wellington. A quick find along the way. TFTC!

Found while travelling north to Hastings after watching my grandaughter playing soccer in Palmerston North. The weather was not at all very nice at the time, so I had to brave the conditions to get this one. TFTC.

A very clever hide though the cache us pulling bits of the structure it is attached to, off.

NZ road trip with Schlitz13. On our tour we had the time to look for some caches. We found them, and some special places of interest or great views.
After finding the cache we enjoyed a coffee.

The distance of today was not that far, so we could enjoy the time visiting 'Mount Bruce Wildlife Centre', where we had some very special encounters with different birds, that was just amazing. We did a short stop at the 'Birchville' hanging bridge, but had to move on soon, because it was raining. At night I visited the virtual cache in Wellington with a wondeful view of Wellington from the top of the hill.
We stopped here, but only did sign the logbook and missed the cafe, what a pity
. But the are many cafes around New Zealand, so it should not be aproblem to find a cafe in the afternoon.

additional information: I will change my geocaching alias name from 'Schlitz13' to 'Megalodon'
