Had a search for this today, nothing to be had
No CO interaction on this cache with reference to hint or Co-ord change since it was first noted in FEB!!!
Time to go I think.
We were completely confused with this cache, nothing at the co-ords posted so tried the other co-ords in a previous log and couldn't find anything there either. Not sure what's going on but a look by the owner would be advised.
There is no green chair at the coord's, and behind the green chair there is no cache. The published coord's are wrong and the changed may be too.
This cache is in need of maintenance and needs to be put back at coordinates indicated
Found on our tour of Northland from Te Anau with The Italian Job from Auckland. TFTC
I am recording this as a find - yes the chair is not there anymore but I found what I think was the container attached to a long stick - if I remember rightly.

Thanks Russell School; bumping your coords to the top in hopes that will aid my blindness to find the cache next time I'm in town
S 35 15.786 E 174 07.432
S 35 15.786 E 174 07.432
New coordinate sure helped that for that maybe the owner should update the notes and the clue....
Found it with my new class of geocachers! ONLY BECAUSE I KNEW WHERE IT WAS!!!!! Coordinates 25 metres off. Waypoint was S 35 degrees 15.786 minutes and E 174 degrees 07.432 minutes.
Found a green seat about 80m from coords, but no cache spot. Looked in all the gardens in case the chair had been shifted. Checked over the road (at GZ)in case there was a trick to it. Very disappointing to find the cache hasn't been found by so many for all the same reasons and yet is still listed unchanged.
In town on the Celebrity Century. Wish I'd seen all these DNFs before searching. Really cool spot though, so all was not lost.
Couldn't find it. Looked hard to no avail. Dont think the cordinates were quite right.
The co-ordinates are in the street behind the church. Also could not find a green chair in the church grounds. This geocache should be cheched again.
Had a go at this one despite the previous 3 DNF's but no look for me either. There is no green seat in the back part of the church grounds. The coordinates took me outside of the grounds which I think is incorrect. Time for an update or archive I would say.
I think GPS co-ords are not correct as I ended up in the front yard of a house accross the road at the back of the church, had a great walk around the church while I was there anyway
Chair is no more there and the coord are 25m off. I would suggest updating them.

Met some kids from Russel here that are going it also, first time i've met some other Geo finders
Coords kept pointing me outside of the church grounds... and I could not find the hint anywhere... I did find some nice hidy-holes- but not filled with the cache! so a big fat DNF for Salty today, but also discovered the cool little nativity trail,so Thanks anyway
Hi Lewis, Nice wee hide and enjoyed a stroll about the church grounds. Just may have to check cord's for this thanks.
Room Six popped next door to find it. The chair has been moved, but it is still underneath the greenery. Thanks LewisDB for helping us as we did not have a GPS at school today!
