When I first started geocaching I came here and spent 20 mins going under and through every thing. I did take time to look around and see what was really there or shouldn't be. I didn't branch out enough. The cach is very damp. Ans mould is growing on the pencil and log. Thanks for the adventure.

Nice find on my way home. Not sure why this one has sat so lonely on my map, think that I was with a friends when I did the others around and she had done this one.
All quiet at GZ, looks as though
EQC workers are painting etc in this area as a few trade vehicles around.
Lid colour has changed, so I tucked a bit further down and covered with a bit of leaf litter.
Left GC to travel a bit further.
Thanks

Reperio at 1745.

Came by this nice little park with Roostaman today on our first day of caching in New Zealand, and spotted the cache without too much trouble as the colour has worn off the cache a little bit. I was signing the log book when some muggles came by...so had to crouch down low and hope they didn't look in amongst the trees...which they didn't! Not quite sure what I would have said!

Gratias nzgeohunter.

Second DNF of the night for GeoYoungling #1 and me. We had the place to ourselves, but somehow couldn't place our hands on this "easy hide." Could be the fact that it was night, but by the other logs, I'm thinking it was just us.

141 - A quick circuit of the park and the cache was soon in hand. The lid was not fully on the tin but everything was dry. As I was signing the log a cheeky fantail was chatting to me. I watched it flit from branch to branch for a number of minutes. I took some photos and will upload if they have come out right, and you can actually see the fantail. Very cool. TFTC
