Sorry, the house is for sale, the bush that hid the cache has been moved. We will try to think of a way to re-instate the cache somewhere else.
Pretty straightforward, so even Dad was able to help with this one. It is amazing how many more places you get to see around your town/city if you weren't geocaching. An interesting road we wouldn't have had call to travel down otherwise. TFTC.
Been meaning to find this for ages, great cache with toys Hi if we were being watched! TFTC
Found simply - we were watched! took Blue and replaced with pop gun. Trying for 100th today! Thanks for the cache!
Quick easy find thank you very much. All good with the cache, signed log & replaced as found. TFTC
After over shooting this one in the car a few times I finally parked up and retrieved cache easily - not sure if I watched - I have grabbed the trackable (my first) and have already logged it as grabbed! Tftc was a great place to shop on the way home from a children's birthday party.
Nice cache and dash around the corner from where we are staying. Trackable left! TFTC!
Thanks for the cache. Alpacas are very cute and yes we were watched and a trampoline jumper
Came here after dark and hunted by torchlight. Took me far longer than it should have to spot the cache, it was right in front of me all along. Duh! Signed log, TFTC
Muggle at ppty with For Sale sign was out mowing his lawns with a push mower. Was able to grab cache in between his walk up and down his lawn. TNLNSL TFTC
Fast easy find, and bumped into someone just getting into caching. Nice to meet new faces in the field. TFTC.
Found it with Dad on his birthday.
Sorry for late log, Dad only just set up my account for me.
If you have any questions, please contact Danny Dangerously.

Good thing for a "For Sale" sign next door to make us more incognito
Cool! Had fun on this one.

Took a bit of finding bit enjoy our contribution. Some good stuff in there too:)
It was decided that three of us would meet up at the start of the gorge walk to tidy up some un-found caches in the area. Since I didn't start work until later I left early to pick up some caches on the way. I had an unsuccessful start to the day with a DNF and two unable-to-be-attempted caches as council workers were in the way.
A quick find once my GPS had sorted out its location. All quiet here today. Not really hidden that well but I suppose it doesn't need to be as no really walks past here.
Thanks for the cache and the smiley.

Neat little evening run to ground zero, great family geocache especially having the alpacas accross the road tftc
had this one on my to do list for a while waved at a little girl in the window Aroha and happy caching left a TB
[blue]Very easy find even if Morgan Ed did walk straight passed it. Had a nice little wave from the 'watchers' near by. Left a geocoin. TFTC and nice to come across a good sized container for a change there days.[/blue]
On a hill far away, we spotted a few cute Alpacas grazing nearby, many thanks for the cache.
Finally sought after this one. Had it on my radar for almost two years, and today was the lucky day.
Cool llamas.

Much easier to find this time. Clearly a lot of gardening has happened to the fence line (especially the thorns!).
Detour On our way to the wairarapa. Took tb will look for somewhere good to move it to. Cute alpacas. Tftc
Horrible location for a cache, nothing special about this area (unless of course you own one of these very nice houses).
More importantly though: couldn't find after a good search.

On our drive to Levin after a weekend in Martinborough, we decided to take the scenic route. I had 2 TBs with me that I collected at the NZ Mega in Auckland last month and wanted a big enough container to hide them in. We felt quite awkward searching right in front of someone's house but luckily found the cache quickly with only the alpacas looking on. Left 2 TBs and took one. TFTC.

First one found for the evening before heading out to follow back ways and by ways
Interesting location for a chache. Collected while out on a Saturday drive with the family.
I nice detour on my way from 'Forest Hill View' cache to 'Richards Erection' multi cache.

Our first stop on an afternoon caching mission with Jr Cacher #2 soon locating the cache. Looked like a comfy spot for an Easter Bunny so left TB there for further adventures. TFTC.
#5259. Felt rather exposed searching here, but luckily Troodles quickly found the cache. Good views. TFTC.
Always worried when caches are so close to houses - I hope the neighbours know about it!
Alpacas were very cute, but no time to linger as we were heading over the Track to the Wairarapa.

A detour to take a gekko at this new lifestyle block area, and because a regular cache deserves to be visited. The alpacas were indeed charming. Left Trackable Bulldog geocoin with a gecko attached.
updated log: found originally by will'n'grace, now called willeraus and cazzamatazz
Nice easy drive by while cleaning up a few final caches on our NZ holiday. Great to see a nice sized container. SL TFTC

Another mornings caching in PN - east of the river today. This was the 7th cache of the day and the first that didn't involve a pleasant walk! A quick and easy find. TFTC.

Visiting friends renting a house down below and this was the nearest cache. So an after dinner walk for a group of us but hard to search carefully with so many and not act suspicously!! Viewed the nice looking Alpacas. TFTC
On an epic geocaching road trip with Endmosteye44 and our geomutt

Good to claim a find after two DNFs tonight.
I also host a cache at my front gate; thanks for sharing your home
Took longer to reseal the logbook bag and the container than it did to find the cache.
Looks like others have had issues as well as there was plenty of water in the container
Nice to see a large container for once! was watched by a trio of alpacas

#3441. Neigbourhood Watch was alive and well in this far away hill. Found and replaced in between gazes in our direction. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Arrived at gz same time as (we presumed) other cachers. Waited a little while and was about to grab cache when they drove off. Quick find. Left Shrek TB. TFTC
Had to come back for this one as cachers were already at gz and waiting for us to leave probably assuming we were muggles. Second try found right away. Have driven down this road before and thought it was a lovely place to live.
We left a small jewelled decorative thing that you are supposed to attach to the front of a card or such.

A great looking spot to live. Wasn't quite sure about this one especially with someone out front mowing the lawns but eventually spotted it (well, it was hard to miss ) and signed the log.
Many thanks for the placement.

Was in Palmerston North with Mrs Yeetrees and we wanted to clean up a few caches around the area while we were here, seeing where the cache was and never being down this road before this was a great opportunity to go and check this area with Mrs Yeetrees and see where this road was going to take us, reading the cache page and realising that the cache was a driveby, we arrrived at GZ and drove right pass the cache and did a U-turn further up the road and turned around and managed to find a car park across the road from the cache. Mrs Yeetrees did the honours and walked across the road to GZ and soon had the cache in her hot little hands, signed and returned and we were soon on our way to the next cache, what an interesting spot for a cache, thanks for pacing it here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (4080)

We are not overly fond of these sorts of hides, and hoping the property owners are aware of the large container in their garden! Nice area and a quick find thankfully, TFTC

Took a little while. Had to trust the GPS on this one. No one spying this avo. Me me grin. TFTC
Lol, it was a large cache. I LOVED the alpacas, there was a really young one there. Couldn't have had nicer weather either, so all in all a great experience. TFTC
What a huge cache! Yet it still took a while to find. Had to stop and say hi to the alpaccas before I realised where it must be.
TFTC. Felt very exposed doing this cache. But as said in the description a great one for the kids. Nice big container.
Found the only good sized cache in the area . Much better than *&^*%$ Micros.
Lamb inside the fence was telling me where to find the cache.

To say we found the cache, is not quite correct. Rather, the cache found us! We were looking in the obvious spots, when suddenly a little girl ran out of the house with the cache in hand. It had got damp and was being dried. Prior to this we had talked to the owner of the alpaca farm across the road, and he attempted to bring some alpacas up to the road for our granddaughters to see, but they stubbornly refused to come more than halfway up the paddock. Found with markhnz. TFTC

A very nice find and friendly children at site. Log is a little damp but not too bad. SL Left tappe measure, lizard and TB. Took TB TFTC
The geograndkids enjoyed finding this cache and seeing the ducks and alpacas. They swapped some marbles for bangles. Left Manaia TB and took Mexico TB. Thanks for this fun cache.
Actually not so far away - close enough for a (hilly) jog to it. Good to see such a generous sized container. The neighbouring alpacas add to the attraction. Thanks team for this cache.
Pleasant spot, not so far away. Left wee torch 'charm'. Certainly kid friendly, and thank you to the kids who made the cache.
A quick find this morning, watched by a few inquisitive Alpacas and a large family of ducks/ducklings. TFTC
