Logs
As with the previous logger, I found a trollish structure but no joy finding the cache.
Found the said object for the troll but no cache today. Nice park and evening walk while staying at nzmca park nearby
A quick easy find. One of the magnets has come off though and is in the container so it's not sticking quite as strong.
Cache now replaced and good to go, glue not holding to good may need strapping, and is that 3d printing, awesome, very well done, TFTC
no luck, found the round bridge but no troll big or small, hoping it is not on the other side,
GPS has taken me the long way home from the Mega. Finding some good caches along the way, TFTC
Found while staying in the nzmca park up nearby. Lovely peaceful little spot with kowhai all in bloom and abundant epiphytes. Soon in hand but took awhile to get the log out as it's absolutely soaked. Barely able to sign. Needs a good dry out. Too wet today! Tftc
Found it - thanks 
.
I've tried to get this one before in the middle of winter last year with no success, easy this time around

Found today with gnome62. Nice place for a troll, left him / her a diamond. Thanks
Beautiful bush walk to GZ from the bridge, cache nice and dry, Sunday singing from across the valley seemed to fit, so sat a while and enjoyed it... This one is a wrap. Mission accomplished TFTC!

This cache was one of the many caches we found on our 6 day campervan journey from Tauranga to Lower Hutt via Waihi, Cambridge, New Plymouth and along the west coast to Wanganui and back to the Hutt. A mighty and enjoyable journey which took us to many great and iconic parts of the north island and of course some great geocaches. Many thanks to the many CO's for the great cache placements and for bringing us to so many new places. Sorry about the generic log but 200 plus to log. TFTC
Staying in the NZMCA park right here so no excuses for not attempting this one. Our gps was all over the place and we went on a merry little walk to get this one. TFTC
We were visiting New Plymouth and staying in the NZMCA park over property very close to this cache. Took the geodog for a quick walk and soon found this cache in a nice secluded spot. TFTC
Found and not where I thought it might be. I had never really been to this area before so it was nice to come here. TFTC
Nearly home after a month on the road. Stayed at NZMCA Park at Huatoki Park - would have been rude not to check for caches!!! Thanks for this - in another lovely park.
I was spending the night at the nearby NZMCA site before spending the weekend at the NZ Tattoo Festival so wandered down here for a walk. A really gorgeous spot and easy find. Thanks for placing a cache down here.
nice little camo hide the vegetation was doing a great job thanks for brining us to this park fantastic :):)
:):)Found with Osbourne road oddballs! No troll today! Just a few dog walking muggles! Cool find!
A naki find for our school holiday challenge. A nice wee troll hole find. Found with evisser8.
I should have read the previous logs before heading through this park on a wet day. Absolutely no sign of cache. Obviously undergoing a long period of maintenance.
Guessing this is still out of action as no update, will return to find when back in action.
While parked up at the nearby NZMCA camp, took a walk with Krystal Kath. She found it but couldn't sign as the logbook is totally saturated. Couldn't even separate the pages! Re-bagged the log in fresh snap-lock bag, but that's just sealing in the moisture.
Sure was a little troll. Nice park to walk in looking for this one. And quite close to where we parked overnight. Tftc
Found on a Good Friday walk while visiting relatives in NP. Thanks for the cache Cave Weta.
Nice cache in a beautiful area. Paid a toll for the little troll - a Phronimos token. TFTC
Quick find. TFTC

I can confirm it is still there, a nice hide & not in the first but 2nd place I looked. The logbook is still fine to sign but looking a bit worse for wear. Enjoyed the walkway & managed to get this just as the rain was starting.....managed to get back to the car before the heavens opened. TFTC Cave Weta
I suspect Muggles have shifted or stolen it 
Cave Weta let us knw if it still is wea its supposed to be

This morning was very drizzly, but we didn’t let that deter us to exploring some of the region. A quick find once at GZ, thanks for the cache.
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Great to finally discover a cache this afternoon without getting lost in the process. Thanks.
Nice spot.. I found it while playing Frisbee Golf with a friend.
No body around so easy to look around for it. TFTC =)

A quick find for a Saturday night, after a quiet walk through the domain. A bit fiddly trying to get the log book out to sign it, but managed in the end. A nice clever hide, thanks for the fun.
Wow what a good cache. I was having trouble with gps but then found i was standing right on top of it
Found a nice shady spot to park and enjoyed a pleasant stroll across the grass to the cache. Quick find. TFTC.
