DNF this geo cache. Looked hard but still no luck. Went back 3 times. May need checking.
Found it eventually using the Magnetic north hint. Dont take the second part of the hint too seriously though.
Went searching with my dad and after realizing that mag, meant magnetic north not, that the cache was magnetic we found it easily. Thanks for a great geocache ️

March was a busy month and whenever it was possible I went for a cache
Had been to Auckland Whangarei, Hamilton, Russell and other places...
But only today I have time to log them - and I not remember the dates when I have picked up which cache

Ahhhh a lovely location, could stay here longer
Needed this one for a challenge and am truly happy to have found it.

Was looking as per hint without anything to show for it - decided to search further afield, again without luck. Then GAR, who had had to take a phone call and had until then been sitting in the car came over and readout a previous log which had the cache in our hands very quickly. Thanks for the hide Riser5. Unfortunately, having the dogs with us we can't explore.
Wow, mein 1. Cache auf Neuseeland. Gemeinsam mit meiner Tochter flott gefunden. Tftc
Found it on a cloudy Sunday while visiting friends in the area. After checking other logs we realized that the hint wasn’t correct and found that cache soon after. Could the CO please change the hint. TFTC
We are getting into a better stride now with our 3rd find. Easy once we stopped looking for a micro magnetic.
After getting the letterbox hybrid further up in Ruakaka a beach trip was on the menu sadly it was so windy walking was not enjoyable so we went back but I still wanted this cache so after a bit of searching the cache turned up, Yay. Thanks for the cache.
Up in the North for 5 days of R&R and looking around. Had called in to Ruakaka on our way home for a rest stop and some lunch. Came here to get this one. Cache was not in the place as described.
Found on our trip through New Zealand . Nice place. Thank you for showing. Found after reading logs.
This had me going for second....the I realised that it was a riser5 cache ha ha ha changed tack and found it hanging around and its lost its attraction lol thanks Riser another great cache
We didn't get far down the road this morning before we stopped. Didn't check the logs to start with as I was sure it would be easy to find - not if you follow hint! Had to resort to general caching sense! A beautiful spot spoilt by a huge amount of rubbish. Such a shame. Thanks for bringing us here Riser5.
After a pleasant walk around the wildlife refuge I found this cache. I was almost going to give up as it was getting dark and I was having no luck. But I widened my search and there it was. TFTC, Just Oli today (Lily misses geocaching).
Quick find by biggest geokid - he never was one to read the hint! If you IGNORE the out of date hint and read previous logs it is a cinch. SL TFTC. Now to the beach!
Found along with a huge spider
However needs must and I was very brave.
Have photo- on request

Pulled up here at this once and there were a couple of suspicious vehicles doing who knows what. we parked close to GZ so hopefully we would not look suspicious. Mrs beconase soon had the goods but they did not match the hint. Signed and returned.
Wonderful beach!!! Infound the cache on the ground and put it back to the right place. Greetings from Germany.
This one was tricky. We were looking high but there was nothing. I began to read the logs and then we found the cache.

Out for a Sat avo to try and convert some green around Ruakaka into yellow smileys. Lots of muggles in the carpark, but after most had gone, was able to casually inspect the noticeboard, then shift a little and it wasn't long before the cache was spotted.
After signing the log, wandered down the path to the beach, where some other interesting sights were spotted.

Out for a late night caching adventure. So many cars and camper-vans tonight here. So we had to be stealthy even at this time of the night. Cache was easily spotted. tftc.

Quick find with Gorby and Harisree while finding a couple of caches in the area. TFTC
Nice and easy find for myself, FMZ and harisreee. it's well after midnight, we've come ftf hunting from Auckland and this cache was nearby and it was a very bright full moon, so much so that we never used our torches to get here! So cool! We could see several cars and campervans parked up for the night, so we kept our voices down while attempting this cache! Thanks Nic!!
Came to Ruakaka today before low tide to grab some caches and have some fun with my new camera. Since I was out this way to grab the DOC cache stopped here to grab the cache and saw a typo in a nearby sign that had us (mum and me) laughing. TFTC
Stopped by to check up on this.
Cache was still in place as the last finder found, but no log.
The last 4 had me worried, but they were all new bar the one with 5k.
New Signs have been erected and put very near GZ.
Have replaced cache with a Magnetic, hanging, back left.
Hard to miss, May get muggled so Please let me know if you can't find it.

Muggles everywhere, even had to pretend to tie my shoe at GZ. No container - only log. TFTC.
Whoop Whoop . . . . I have never been to this beach before and today it was raining but we went for a bit of a wander and I bought home some shells

#10057, Found it with DroidCachebox!
We visited this cache during our trip through out New Zealand!
With our rental car, we explored the north island for 12 days.
NZ is a beautiful country and we really enjoyed our time here.
We hope to return one day and explore a little bit more!
Day 10 - Awanui to Auckland
Today we had a long drive back to Auckland, on the way we did a few stops, and visited some interesting locations.
In the afternoon we visited Auckland's downtown.
Thanks for the cache.

#609 Geocaching is great at getting me to pause from the rush of life and have a moment to appreciate all this area has to offer. Rushing to pick up a trademe auction I decided to check for a local cache before heading home. Great spot - well placed at GZ for such a busy spot. I love the colour of the sand. TFT(dune)C.
A wonderful day for geocaching. Beginning with a few geocaches on some back roads going up to Whangarei. What a beautiful beach. Had to be really careful cause of some muggles relaxing under the tree right next to the cache. But gladly they weren't observing me and in a good moment I found the box. tftc
Quick easy find. Lots of muggles around. Thank you. Cache is a bit wet and needs new log paper
Didn't find it this morning when I did have a pen, did find it this evening when I didn't have a pen. Thought it might have gone with the comments from previous searchers but there was really only one place it could be and there it was. Beautiful place
