Logs
Coords seem accurate as the hint was right there in front of us...but not found. Area a bit messy, may be muggled.
We were in Lower Hutt for a few days so why not try and grab a few caches while in the area. Checked my phone and there was one only 65m from where I was staying!! A very brisk walk later and I found this one. Not too difficult to find, and no one around to hinder my search efforts. Thanks for the cache and the smiley.
Great way to kill some time while waiting for scouts to finish. Urchin #4 kept complaining she was hungry.
Hi there
my first to find in Wellington, at least.
have been working down here, just back after a weekend back home, 3rd week now and this is my first cache. not a lot of time to relax with.

Very easy find as the cache was very exposed. Signed the log and re-hid the cache so that it is well out of sight of muggles. TFTC
On the way from a client in Naenae and back to the airport, I felt like making a stop and find a cache. I decided upon this one, and it was not hard to find. A muggle was sitting in the park, but was too far away to see what I was actually doing.
Tough find when it's dark. Too easy to go for the obvious. Found the coords were about 5m off but night just have been the accuracy of my phone.
Busy day! HAD to break Double figures. Another find by MayiMudzi - dang that woman is competitive. The singing and chanting has not abated!

DTen caches and five spotted by my eagle eyes! Thanks BrenFM and Ab's for a great day. Thanks Fozzmiester for the cache.
P.s. It's worth noting this is actually small sistema container, not as stated in the description. Thanks again

Located on a holiday weekend caching run. Geo-kids were distracted by climbing trees (again) "miles" away from GZ so geo-parents had to hunt this one down unaided. TFTC.
Pretty easy find

A great easy find for the little bear, his excitement of finding them is what makes this even more fun. TFTC
We went here again today after looking yesterday i can see where it would have been but it must have been taken
No luck here on the last 2 visits. Can I ask for a check to see if its still there?
WOW completely forgot to log this one, just ticking off the ones around home and I see this one which I'm sure I've found ... went to double check and sure enough there is my log. Sorry for taking four months to log 
... TFTC
... TFTCAm here from Auckland and was wanting to move on some TBs that I have had for too long. But sadly couldn't fit them in.
Nice quick find

Thanks for the cache, found while on a numbers run on a trip to the capital. Will hopefully find the time later on to add to my generic logs. (and edit the date)..
Good straight forward cache ideal for beginners like me.
Found the cache and retrieved the tb originally sent on its way to Petone by my Cousin in Dublin.

Took butterfly and left a balloon badge.

Did this on way home. Got there to discover i left my pen on bench damnit. Have to sign it later 
Great cache though a little worried it might be too visible could spot it quite far away
Some days you don't want a stroll in the fresh air or a clever hide. Some days you don't want a long drive or to wait out the muggles. Today with the rain streaming down and the wind blowing a gale you want a cache you can walk straight up to. Thanks fozzmiester.
*Found with PrincessDiala whilst trekking about New Zealand on the way to NZ Mega*
We arrived in Wellington and checked into our Motel, we decided to have a bit of a drive around the area, coming upon this hide.
we walked across the park straight to GZ and had the cache retrieved quickly!!

Threatening weather so did this one before the rain and workers lunch perhaps nearby. Cache in good condition. SL TFTC
This was a well hidden cache that blends in well with its surroundings in the dark

Nice stroll, first cache for the mini-cacher, he enjoyed playing with all the trinkets! TFTC
Needed to be quite covert today due to some road works going on nearby. Cache nicely hidden. TFTC Cheers!
Found by Dad and the clans eldest daughter. TNLN TFTC. No pen or pencil in cache.
Quick evening, after-dinner cache in the 'hood.
Straightforward find, cache in order, log signed, re-hidden safely, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Found on about the 6th visit. Maybe the new GPS map62s is more precise, as this time I looked at a different part of the wall!

A quick grab. This cache is more like what we are used to (rocks). TNLNSL TFTC
Found on a cycling trip from Wellington. Took a little while before I spotted something just a tiny bit unusual and then I quickly had the cache in hand. TFTC.
#15 (for me) of Tom&Thomas' 50-something cache road trip to Wainui' to find the oldest cache in NZ, GC46.
My first of the series, what a pity it got canned

First find of a very pleasant morning exploring parts of Lower Hutt I don't know. Usually go straight to Queensgate when I visit the Hutt! Went straight to the cache after I read the hint. Swapped TBs. TFTC
TFTC. A well hidden cache in a park that has the potential to be fairly public. Luckily the weather was a bit cool and damp today so no worries.
Left TB.

Not a curse- a ridiculously easy cache to find (with infoferret's assistance). Swoppled my pedometer for the one in the box,
Another I was able to find on a 'GPS less' day in the Hutt. Swopped my pedometer for the one in the box as Mel0n liked the look of that one better....TFTC- neat little location.

Nice little walk through the park, even in the dark, to GZ, gotta to love a good useful hint. TFTC

Quick find at night. Just happened to be passing on the way home and remembered there was a cache nearby. Only 7pm on a Friday night, but not a single person or car around.
TFTC!
