Nope - a bit tooooo much flax to look through here

NOT there for my eyes! Suggest relocating it away from the flax!

Replaced with film canister today. Enjoy!!

did not find it, could the owner please check and make sure its still there please??

Had a long hard look and didn't find it, I don't think its there anymore from looking at recent logs.

Was out enjoying a lovely morning caching close by. So had a wee wonder to GZ. Then just as I started my search along came a class of school children on a school trip. So left the find for another visit .

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 15, In Auckland Region, Northshore and Shakesphere Park. I walked out to this one, and was not able to find the cache. I have no idea if I was beaten by the Flax or if it is missing. Thanks.

Geocaching with 16 newbies for Duke of Edinburgh silver exploration.

Searched and searched but alas, no luck!

Out with Oratia Scouts teaching them about geocaching and how to use a GPS we all had a great time and camp.

Wetlands Walk was transferred from 2newkiwis to user NZBREAKERMATT

not today

A pleasant wander out into the wet lands on a sunny morning. Collected some mushrooms on the way...yummmm. TFTC

This was a bit harder than it looked.

Our trusty smartphone decided it had enough caching for one day and went on strike just as we got here. Luckily we had backup by way of a printed map and soon had the cache in hand.

Found the spot but not the pot! Will head back another day during the week when we have more time to look! Lovely walk - plenty of pukekos and herons!

A lovely walk through an unpopulated area of the park led us straight to the cache. TFTC

Good to have this wetlands walk on the flat after the other bushy walk ..Found cache !

Enjoyed wetland walk.
TFTC.

First find of the day. Lovely short walk through a part of the park we'd probably have overlooked otherwise. TFTC

Saw lots of birds on way to this cache. Tftc

Oh how I dispise these hides!!!
Except for the time that i quickly come up with the required goods, then I quite like them.
This was a case of the latter as opposed to the former

TFTC

Lucky it was a quick find. Was a bit worried that it was going to take a while searching through one of a cachers worst nightmare

Out on bikes with #1 son

Tftc

Great concealing of the case! Tftc

First cache in the area, 3rd all up! Simple find, easing into a good days' searching!!

I hate flax, but this one was easy to find. Saw tui and pukeko's on the way. TFTC

Nice walk, TFTC

Last cache in NZ. Tomorrow we fly back to Amsterdam. Shame

Enjoyed the entire day was a heap of fun and an awesome walk TFTH =)

Quick and easy find.

Not too long to locate.

Found by Lizzie10 and Roger of the Collie Crew from the UK.Soon spotted but gosh that flax is sharp! TFTC.

The last day in NZ. Fly our 1800 tonight, last chance to finish off some caches I didn't find or missed over the last couple of days.
This was the first today, and then the Heritage trail ones.

Parked at the end of the road at the park and walked back. Thankfully the GPS was working well.
An easy find, left a path tag.

TFTC and thanks for an enjoyable weekend finding your caches on Whangaparaoa Penisula, back next year to find some more. a favourate point for this one.

Thank you 2newkiwis.

Out to do the heritage trail today.
Put us down for a DNF on this one. Gave this one a solid 20 minutes to no avail. We are beginning to think thatwe don't like flax bushes much.

TFTC.

Easy find.tftc

Nice walk to the cache
Enjoyed the find!

Awesome day for a spot of caching

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

Decided to spend the day caching out Whangaparaoa. A pleasant walk through the wetlands and we made a quick find of the cache.

Thanks for the cache!

Lovely day for caching.

Filling in another day in the calendar far enough away from home, so we can do more than 1!!. Enjoyed the walk out to this one. Alas only birds we saw were Pukeko's today. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Found with my friend Alex during an afternoon's caching in Shakespear Regional Park. Well hidden. Took a couple of passes to find. TFTC.

Found by my eagle eyed daughter, after I'd been searching for ages with no luck!!!! 8D TFTC

What better way to celebrate finishing exams yesterday than going out for a lovely walk, and finding a bunch of caches?!

This one was actually really difficult. We searched the entire area like crazy people, but could not find anything!! We even decided to expand our area immensely, incase someone had moved it over slightly or something.

But then, in the end, we found that it was actually in the first place we looked, but just it had been hidden really well, and slightly off where we thought it would be! And this was all just as we were about to give up! But had decided to make one last loop of the GZ.

TFTC!!

Found this cache with sonia26642

Return visit after a year to see how this place has changed and obviously to do the new trail! loving the new fence nice quick find Stopped by random car asking where the caged peacocks were???? TFTC

After walking the long way around it was a quick and easy cache to collect to start of our day TFTC

TB Travel Racer dropped off.

Nice quick find. TFTC. Nobody around today.

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

This was the thirteenth of sixteen finds today - most were in the lovely Shakespear Regional Park. What an excellently managed park that is! TFTC

A nice walk with the family. Dropped of a trackable

Lit wet after rain this morning

After doing the Heritage trail, we headed over to Okoromai bech for a wonder around. Enjoyed this walk, didn't hear any frogs but saw 14 diferent types of birds and heard another, also saw a 15th type in the pohutukawa's on beach. TFTC

A cool cache on the way to Shakespeare's Park. An adventure with "The Barrows." What a fun afternoon eh, thanks.

Last find for us today, though as ishoot had been here previously he pointed at various objects and had us look there, which eventually paid off as we made the find without too much hassle. Nice little spot to finish off our day and a very enjoyable 10k walk was had by all. Great park - TFTC

Last find for such an awesome fun day here at the Park. This took a wee while but eventually evilno9 got it!

Awesome day with great company and lovely area.

TFTC 2newkiwis

Last find for the day for us out here, and enjoyable day it was. Took a bit of a dig around, but the find was eventually made. Log was signed, and we headed back to the beach for a well earnt beer.
TFTC

Great day in Shakespear with The Mute and friends:)

thanks

not wet feet here

Nice walk and an easy find. Thanks.

nice camo

Another great day caching with my brother revhead

Cheers tnln

A quick find here, normally it takes ages for a cache like this. (It is not one of my favourite plant)

#184, Quick Find, TFTC

Enjoyable walk in the morning sun. Found after a search but replaced within reach of the path, good camo job in this one TFTC.

Another cache on a day out around Shakespear. Great day for it, loads of people on the beaches. Swapped coins

5:48 pm. Finally getting around to logging finds from our New Zealand trip. I had to poke around a bit before I got my hand on this one. TNLN. Thanks! # 2598

It was quite a stretch to reach the cache. Glad my arms are a little longer.

Judging by the most recent logs, it looks like a previous finder decided to hide this cache a bit too well. This cache is meant to be an easy grab without stepping off the path and most certainly WITHOUT GOING BUSH WHACKING.

We are no longer in the area, and therefore it's difficult for us to go and check it out, so we would be grateful if the next finder could try and leave the cache in a more appropriate place following our original description and hint... Many thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

Bit of bush wacking but successful find

Haha base! Very cool cache... FYI wear shoes!

Glad to find this one, even though in my least favourite plant. t4tc

Stopped by in the morning after having completed the Heritage Trail. Fortunately nobody around at that time of the morning which allowed plenty of poking about. After checking the few previous logs, a more lateral approach was taken, resulting in a find. TFTC

Good job we checked out previous logs, as hint was not what we expected. TFTC

Having just completed the Heritage Trail cache series, we made a detour on the way back to the camper to find this cache. Searched as per the hint, but when we came up empty-handed we checked the logs. After reading the previous log we widened the search, and soon spotted the cache. Nice walk, thanks.

Took a while to find - not as per hint but found. SL TFTC

Quick find with Zork, No one around in the area. Nice place for a walk

Nice day for a walk in the Wetlands.

IN:

Nice day out and about up north. Spotted and retrieved, signed and returned. Thanks for this one.

A beautiful spring day, so we really enjoyed this walkway.
TFTC

lovely walk tftc

2nd of 4 on our exploration of our local area. Tftc

An enjoyable wee walk TFTC

Great camo. Cheers

Very nice walk, easy to find. Only 5min walk from the road

Lovely location which we visited due to the park being closed. Tftc and showing us the path

Nice little walk to blow the cobwebs away from inside the body but caught a few outside the body early this morning.

In: TB.

Cheers for the cache.

Often enjoy a run through this track. Came with the dogs on a morning walk to tick off a date but after realising the cache had no pen I couldnt sign the log. Will pass by another time to do the honours but am happy to give more info on the cache itself if needed to confirm my visit. Another nice sunny morning. Hope the weather next week is as good. TFTC

Carried on walking from Rusty, a few mutters as we approached GZ, but the cache was soon in hand.

7416 Glad we had Sp8sm8 along with us… they did the deed while we watched in awe, TFTC.

We had a nice wee walk to gz, quick find thankfully

TFTC

What better weather than it being wet to complete the walk to GZ. TFTC

Two Pukekos, one Fantail & a Blackbird accompanied me on this delightful walk in the sun, the rain still holding off. Thanks for bringing me here & TFTC!

Was just starting to rain so had to ran to the cache.
Easy find.

Cache carpool with FMZ and 10cc for a quick FTF # 5 for the night No muggles about tonight. TFTC

Nice quick stroll along the walk to make a reasonably quick find here and team southside have their 4th FTF on the peninsula, 6th for the night so far. Nice camo! Joint FTF with stu4 and 10cc , FTF #722 for us - TFTC!!!
