Cache container is missing and I no longer live close enough to maintain this one. Archiving
The coordinates and hint pointed at only one thing but sadly there was no cache to be found. Had a look around the area just in case but no success
On a work trip in Hamilton
Got some spare time.
Decided to pick few caches while in town

Great little hiding spot. Went for a walk today just to grab this as it is only a few kms from where I was today.
Log is almost full. Will need replacement soon.

Quickly pulled over on side of road for this nice easy find and on my way home I go !
Up and down. Hill after hill. Great exercise this morning with fantastic views. Signed and returned.
Easy find here thanks due to clue....
Nice to stretch the legs on my drive.
...oh and to admire the views!

Beautiful view from up the top. Quick easy find thanks to the clue. 1st find on Anzac day.
#537. I drive this way each day, finally got around to stopping and searching for the cache. The hint pointed at two spots, found in the second. Lots of traffic but hopefully found and replaced discretely.

Found nice and easy, just had to wait for a lot of the morning traffic to pass as I grabbed this one. TFTC.
What an amazing day! Set off to the Waikato with intentions to meet up with NZFlossy and TNXPro but somehow didn't see either of them - instead I managed to alternate my caching partners between Mr & Mrs Tryfyn & KayDeeGee and then Davidson Clan & Squirrel Nutcase for the late shift. I had a great time at both of the Hamilton events and enjoyed catching up with the locals here and from home. Lastly - a big 'thank you' to the CO's that made 2018's International Geocaching Day so awesome.
I ended up parking on the foot path next to the cache because it's the middle of the night and I can. The cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. The hint was pretty handy too - Cheers Katy, TFTC

Interesting little spot. These new houses will have great views if they are built properly. TFTC.
Since my GPS takes a while to settle down I did wonder about the possibilities of where it might be as I arrived. Find was not too strenuous though.
Out with friend and daughter.Found this one as we were looking for some other puzzle caches.
Out with a friend today in Hamilton in the heat to pick up a few puzzle caches. We took a little detour here - had a great morning out, TFTC 
As I was driving to the cache I spotted a woman walking her dog along River Road. I managed to park on the side road, make the find, sign the log, and return to the car before she caught up with me. How I managed a DNF here about 5 years ago I'll never understand. Glad to have a smile on this one as I drive past it every day and it was starting to bug me. TFTC!
Out and about in the Waikato with a few friends (Team SEAC) on a caching raid. After finishing "The eyes have it" series (the purpose for crossing the border! 
), we decided to find a few other Waikato hides. This was one of them.
A nice quick find at GZ. Log signed as "SEAC 11" to save space (as there were 11 of us present today!)
TFTC, and sorry for the delay in logging!

A group consisting of LiverKiwi, Dragon Griffin, NZTravellers, HeMaLuDy, Purply, Darthcacher1, EIR-0T, Keylev, and NewlynFam headed down this way to collect as many of the Eyes have it series as possible after having a solving session at the end of last year....
We had managed to locate the Eyes have it series so continued on with local caches which took us to this cache
We signed in as 'SEAC 11' or 'SEAC 18' depending on whom signed the log, to save logbook space.
Cache was in good condition.

Had just completed the Eyes have It Geoart series and the group of 3 cars was heading back into Hamilton to do some further caching and grab some dinner and then continuing caching back to Auckland.
We signed the logs SEAC11 to save log paper.
Thanks to all the COs who have placed caches and keep these maintained.

Quick find here.

Having just completed 'The Eyes Have It' series with Team SEAC we decided to carry on and pick up some more caches around Hamilton. All logs were signed as SEAC11 to save space 
Good views from up here. Quick find at GZ, TFTC!

Mr. Kiwi had just been out with some of the members of Team SEAC completing The Eyes Have It series in the Waikato. Since it was a beautiful day and still plenty of day left, it was decided to head on into Hamilton and plunder some of the caches there. There was an ongoing debate as to how many we should do, 125 or 150. We decided just to get as many as possible.
Mr. Kiwi found this one after learning from an earlier experience while doing The Eyes Have It series. As soon as he saw the situation, he knew exactly where to look, and lo and behold, there was the cache. It was signed SEAC 11 in order to save space on the log.
Didn't have time to enjoy the view much as there were more caches to grab.

Wonderful finish to our day, the replacement cache was great timing for us, tftc
A bit dangerous as it has slipped to the bottom and the over came off exposing wires. Took a while to get it back on. Log is not really signable and tin is squashed and rusting away.
I was going to park up at the given co-ords but I got a bit cheeky and decided to jump the curb and park right next to GZ - what the heck! It's been a long day of caching so far and any walking that I can eliminate sounds good to me. Then I found the cache with the good hint, nice one Katy.
Great view!! And we saw the wind farm even though it was after 7pm! Amazing how much development is happening at the moment! Thanks for bringing us here!
I furrowed by the tree, it was not meant to be. The sky was dimming, signalling a new beginning. It didn't take long before I sung my celebration song. Signed Nat and Ella
Easy find, not so easy to acquire. It had slipped right down and wedged itself in. I managed to prise it out though View from the top of the hill is great, saw the windfarm in the distance.
View from the top of the hill is great, saw the windfarm in the distance.On my way up the line for a week of r&r and stopped for a couple of nights in Hamilton to pick up some caches. Back in Hamilton after completing the Ngaruawahia to Huntly power trail, caches in Huntly and there's still more day left for more caching. Parked in a safe place and walked back the GZ. Quickly found and returned the cache. TFTC
So today we moved up from Rotorua to Hamilton for an overnight stay with more relatives.
Sunday morning is bright and sunny so we go out on the bikes to pick up a couple of local caches.
Nice and easy find - but it always helps when the hosts have found it already. It does add a certain element of pressure to actually find it without assistance though ....

My son and his friend had actually spotted it previously without knowing it was a cache location. I guess they have an eye for cache hiding spots! We just signed the log book today.
