Beauty from the outflow (Auckland) Orewa, North Island, New Zealand
By azza-ro on 08-Jul-11. Waypoint GC2ZNW8

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Found the pencil but everything else is missing. Will replace ASAP

Had a good look and garball thought she knew where this had been having found it previously. Had a good look but decided to go on a find some others as the likelihood was that it is no longer

Found this a couple of years ago and today was with my sister who hadn't yet found it and I'm almost completely sure it is not where it used to be. An extended search showed up nothing either. Suspect maintenance might be needed here.

Had a look inbetween the streams of muggles. Found a small pencil which may have fitted inside a container but no cache. Spotted by a family of geocachers from Whangarei. Will add to watch list.

We made a quick find here, no hint needed. Coords spot on for us.

Crafty hide. One of those ones where you just stand back and you notice things. TFTC

What a windy day today is, although the sun is shining too. Walked with dogs through the park to get here. Never seen this estuary so close before.
TFTC

We were out for a walk with friends and decided to show them a few caches. Last find of the the day.

Nice walk. Beautiful day.

Bodea found this one but didn't go for the grab b/c spider webs. Love that! I signed the log under the almost full moon near this lovely evening lit estuary.

TFTC caching with rustynz & Gorby.

When one thinks of an outflow, one might be forgiven for thinking of a pipe of some sort. So with this misconception in mind, Rebel98 and his trusty companion rustynz and I arrive to see some another sort of outflow! I guessed where the cache might be and found it in the first place I looked! Lucky me. Your mind has to be versatile to be a cacher! Cheers azza-ro.

Parked down at the bridge and now our small caching group is circumnavigating the estuary. This is our first find on our adventure, thankfully a quick stop, although did get sidetracked by the detour outflow pipe located nearby, but really only one place it could be. Found by Gorby, rebel98 was not far away! Thanks for the hide

Geodogs on best behaviour as people, other dogs and cyclists abound on this good sized circuit. Very busy for a weekday but the weather very spring-like for mid winter. Nice hide in good condition. tftc

I discovered, to my dismay, that my car battery was well and truly flat this morning. After getting some help to get it started I was left with the task of driving around to recharge the battery. Well, nothing for it but a long drive up the motorway followed by some park and grabs to get things make in full working order. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!

With the battery recharged and the tank all gased up it was time to tackle something other than park and grabs. I parked up nearby and made the short stroll to GZ. I had actually visited this spot earlier in the day, but with the GPSr trying to put me in the water, a constant stream of muggles, and then some students deciding they wanted to film right next to GZ I decided that discretion is the better part of valour and left. On my return a friendly dog walking muggle from a nearby abode asked if I would like a hint. Soon had the cache in hand after that. After a brief chat about geocaching we went our separate ways. Cheers for the cache placement!

Tricky hide. Lucky we managed to get onto it quickly. Tftc.

Was busy with my head up an outflow when Ric found the cache !!! Thanks azza-ro ...good spot !

Mrs. Barny found this one. We were having a lovely walk around the estuary on a very sunny day!

Visited GZ after dinner in town with my muggle nephew. Searched for awhile and GPS had me initially searching in the wrong area. Once I stepped back to view the whole area, found a more likely spot and my nephew made the find.

Unfortunately I was spotted by a muggle neighbours :'( he stood very menacingly from his window and though I waved, he didn't look amused...

TFTC.

My 1st find for my visit to Orewa. Cheers.

Very high muggle zone. Never seen so many kids on bikes and scooters as around here. Found pretty quickly and without muggle drama.

managed to go back to this one while every one was having lunch

Today Mallorcatommy and me walked around that wonderful lake.

On our walk we could find some geocaches. This was one of them!

Thanks for hiding!

Today we started the walk around this nice lake, while great weather and with the last sunbeams in our back. This and some more geocaches we could find on our way.

TFTC

Great place!
Added pencil, all ok
Thanks!

I acted the troll to start with but then followed my GPS. TFTC.

Muggles to the max today... stealth was definitely needed. Thanks for bringing us here to this fantastic walkway.

Post find log. Found this a couple of weeks ago when out for a cycle. Beautiful area for a ride.

Discoverd after about 4 caches that I signed my first finds of the day with the wrong date - I blame the early start. Had yet to discover this fantastic walkway around the estuary where we can also take the dog so thanks for bringing us here. GPSr had me in the wrong spot but my other half spotted a likely place and sure enough there it was!

Nice easy find with the dogs!

Found it

Forgot to log on here.
Whopsy

No luck without any hints.

Out and about today with my lovely wife, Stella. Trying to pick up the caches in the northern side of the estuary. Was all good up until this point. Wife fell in water then found a bag of dog doo. We're just about to give up on this one when we both spotted it at the same time. Nice hidey hole. Tftc.

Nice find on our way to Mangawhai.

Found whilst taking my 7 yeAr old on bike ride. Great spot

Was hard to find! Looked for awhile lots of long grass

Start of a long walk around the lake, might manage it when we retun in a couple of weeks

Done and dusted by a small team of novices! Thanks.

All good

damaged.

Found it

[green] At long last, after two weeks of Auckland Mega and the GeoTours North and South, I can get my bike out and go for a ride. Over 30 caches by bike today! This one was an easy find, but I had to disguise my actions from some muggles standing just over there.

Nice walk on a gorgeous day.. Thx!

Found it

Found with Granville86a on a nightwalk around the area, TFTC

Found with Chosen1978 on Mega trip. Phew what a pong!!!

A lovely windy stroll alnog the estuary. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely place. TFTC

This time successful. Tftc

Found it after extensively looking in a different place.. Have moved it less than 0.5m so now the clue makes sense. TFTC

Nice hide..thanks!

Found with arted123

It appears from previous logs that this cache has suffered from 'cache creep', so it would appreciated if the next person to find it would place it back closer to its original co-ordinates. TIA

No find.. Will go to next closest cach

Showing some newbies how it's done and so it was found by a newbie. TFTC!!!!!

Found

Decided that biking this track was much quicker than walking as only got a short way round last weekend before the novelty wore off. Mr Alligator with me on his slightly worse for wear bike that needs a bit of TLC (who needs a bell when the squeaky brakes do the trick!).
Mr was keen as, turning over every rock he could find but alas to no avail, whereas I moved something gently aside and voila there it was. TFTC

DNF

No luck today:(

No joy.

No luck here. GPS honed right in but couldn't see cache. Nice view though- I'll be back!

Returned it to where I found it, which may not be the place where it was originally hidden as the clue does not quite correspond. Nearby though!

SLTFC found it too easily was out in the open so hid it right where we found it

5.15pm - Great little walk in the wind & rain to find cache sitting out in the open, maybe this cache needs a bit of maintenance before it washes away in the tied, positioned it a little higher and is safe at the moment. SLTFTC

Dog had a quick (tethered) dip whilst we retrieved the cache. Tftc

First one for the day on caching adventure. TFTC

Cache is in good condition. Nice location.
TFTC!

Found by Lizzie10 and Roger from the UK out with fellow cachers(family) ChrisnDust and James.No problem for a couple of old Rockers like us!TFTC.

Nice easy find. Tftc

Quick find on a windy walk with the olds and geo dog

Thought I'd may as well come up this way after work and find the last cache I hadn't already found on the walk. I finish at 4 so can grab caches before the evening walkers/cyclers are about. TFTC

;0 found it i was so happy it is a good hiding spot



GOOD LUCK

It bit cold for a swim today. Great day for a walk on along the track.

Looks like a nice area but will be a while before I make it back to crocodile island

TFTC

A quick find while out for an enjoyable morning stroll along the walkway. TFTC

Nice easy find on a really neat walkway. I notice that the tide is right out, so a trip across to "Crocodile Island" is in order for our 400th. find.

12.05pm. Found this one after an aborted attempt at the crocodile island. (It was too muddy) The info was in the car so we only had the GPS coords but soon has it in hand.
Thank you. David.

Nice quite spot for a cache
TFTC

Nice quick cache while walking past on this wonderful Broadwalk.

Have replace with a temporary log book. Original will be replaced once it is dried out.

Nice quick find TFTC, good hint

Log wet, emptied water from cache but will need looking at.

Out today clearing up a few more......

Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through on our 'how ever long it takes' NZ tour.

Thanks for setting this up.

This was quite an easy one to find and I found it myself! The pencil needs sharpening though, so would advise to bring your own pen.

I liked this one very good nice quick find nice views . .

Our first find. Kids very excited.

A nice day at last, morning rain gone.....Having a great time finding these NZ caches. TFTC from a couple of Canucks.

An easy find in between hoards of walking and biking muggles along this rather nice estuary walkway. TFTC.

Great spot.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Set out today with the aim of reaching our next milestone of 500 cache finds. Heading to Orewa and Shakespear Regional Park to do this.

Quick easy find, under the first tried.
