As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

We suspect some local "muggles" have had some fun moving this cache around in the past, so wonder whether they've been back to their old tricks... temporarily disabled while we do a search of our own...
A DNF for me here. I searched a lot of places and came up empty handed. Might pay for the CO to check to see if it is still there.
A few of us had a look at this one. Explored almost everywhere but didn't spot anything
Stock in fields. Electric fence.
Cords in middle of river

Coordinates had me standing on the RH side of the viewing platform. The hint showed that the cache was under the bridge and after searching around the electric fence decided to have a look on the other side after I came back from the falls. On return the local school kids were having ride around the block lessons with the teacher standing by the info boards and a DoC vehicle was parked under the bridge.Gave up then.
We also found the cache along way from the coords. Walked around the long way to avoid the electric fence. t4tc

Coords we out for us, used FapAndGap's suggested coords and managed to avoid getting zapped, used the nice clean facilities before heading to the Motu Falls for some photo opportunities, bonus was spotting one of Murphy's Wekas on the way, TFTC.

The electric fence was a concern. Managed to jump the fence to get the cache. Thanks.
This one gave us a few problems mainly due to a 5000 volt electric fence which looks as though it may have been erected recently. But thanks to the intrepid local Murphy muggle we eventually found it.

A reasonably quick find by Mr Geckoh whilst the rest of the team made good use of the local facilities. Co-ords were quite a bit out for us, but cache soon located using the previous finders co-ords. TFTC
