I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Hi KiwiLeon
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Spent some time looking with the kids, but couldn't find it. Will have to come back another day.
I hoped to find this cache after taking part in the parkrun nearby. After seeing the previous DNFs, I maybe didn't look for as long as I normally would but I thought I checked all the possible places.
Was hoping for a quick find after visiting the ParkRun here, didn't want to attract too much attention as muggles about, and was hoping my eyes would find something different to tip me off. No luck in the odd spots tried. Everything seems pretty firmly attached, exception for quite a few rocks seen already strewn about which looked to have been torn loose. What a shame, the walls are a really nice feature; such an interesting cool park! Thanks anyway
Nice day out and about. Visited the buddhist temple nearby and stranded on the playground, so it was a nice stroll to the cache location. We found it fairly easy after we went round the wall for a little while. Trying to escape the suspicious views of the muggle on the bench nearby, we eventually arrived at the right side of the wall. Tftc.

Very nice diversion from watching the kids at the playground. Found together with Piratenschatzsucher! and Greenkiwikids and signed as team Piraten. Tftc
Great little Geocache! Found it almost instantly but could potentially be quite hard! TFTC!
Daughter actually found it first. Nice little stroll after picking her up. Very fun find, nice and easy! Tftc
Made a little tour at noon time to grab some Caches. Weather was good, so I enjoyed looking for them!
Sometimes these kind of hide took you ages, sometimes you only need seconds. Lucky I could find this one quick!
Thanks for hiding!

Took a bit of scouting around but soon had cache signed and replaced. Wow it’s muddy round here! TFTC
Went straight to it. Great cache. Container is rusty and paper wet. Maybe time for refresh. We left a gat pick to get some booty started.
A hot and humid day so just perfect for cache hunting. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find
Geocaching day in Flat Bush. Invited by new hides in the area I``ve enjoyed all of them plus some old ones too. Good to see this park full of joy and happiness! Quick find thanks to accurate coordinations. TFTC
Meant to look for this one for some time seeing as we come here most weeks for the ParkRun. Had a quickish look today but no joy. GZ appeared to be in the middle between two walls so not sure how GPS can be spot on as advised by other logs? We will be back!
Out and about in East Tamaki now that the rain has stopped. GPS spot on but could not sign log as it was very wet. Didn’t have a spare either. TFTC.
Nice day for a walk and for the kids to get out and play...cache need maintenance log book soaked...sorry I didn't have any spare paper with me...thanks for another great find tho
Log book cannot be signed it's very wet unfortunately did not have a spare log book. Great park excellent playground. TFTC
The log is sopping wet so took a picture of the cache. Quick find as the sun started to peek out.
Easy find. Mint tin is extremely rusty and log is soaking wet. Michaelteacher has a photo of the cache. Unfortunately we didn't have any replacement logs so we left cache as is without signing. CO probably needs to have a look. Tftc
Very wet underfoot still. Nice day out at the park and a nice easy find. Log far too wet to write in.
Found quite easily. My son was so excited because last two we have searched for have been dead ends. Unfortunately I didn't have pen or paper to write up a new log so take both when you go
I was invited to head out with C&D on another caching trip, this time to Auckland to focus on the hides in the Dannemora and Flast Bush areas, plus a couple of other cache clusters a bit further South. An early start meant we got the most out of the day with over 50 finds, on a wide range of caches, which varied the day nicely. I myself had no specific plan for the day, bar there were a couple of puzzle caches in the area which I had solved and was hoping to finally claim the smilie for.
All in all another great day out caching, with the weather gods on our side (bar being very wet underfoot in a few parks), some great hides and as usual great company. A big thanks to all the CO's for the placements.

Came out at lunchtime from work, found it exactly where I thought it would be. Sadly, the log sheet is mush, could not write on it. Even though it’s still in the bag in the container, it’s totally soaked. Wanted to find this one, I come here on Saturday mornings for the 5km park run that starts very close by. Moustache still there. TFTC
Was in the area to pick up a puzzle, so stopped by to find this. I was with merlot58 and supernannny, both of whom had found this cache before. They stood back and watched as I went straight to gz and pulled out the cache.
So many hiding spots. After a few minutes I checked the hint and narrowed our search, and the cache was soon found. Thanks for the hide and whoever left the moustache haha!
It took us a wee while to finally narrow it down to its hiding place and in the end it was another find for Huan today, these walls can give you an awful lot of options for hunting. This is a nice new park, will be great when all of the trees grow up and as the area gets more established. The buddhist temple across the way is very impressive. TFTC.
It was a beautiful morning so we decided to go for a walk in this fantastic park and collect a few caches along the way. These walls are just one of the many great features that make this place so interesting and it's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into all the landscaping undertaken in the past few years.
We soon located the cache's hiding spot, signed the log and continued on our walk. Thanks for brining us here.

Took a little while to find this one, so many possible locations for it. But perseverance paid off and I located the cache eventually.
Thanks for the cache KiwiLeon

Caching in the area managed to grab between rain showers, back to Gorby's mobile for a quick cuppa before the heavens opened.
Was lucky to hit on the right spot very quickly. Could have been a nightmare. Tftc
This cache kinda made me wonder when I see groups of cacher heading off to 'relieve themselves' while doing a 'whereigo' and then seeing them coming out from a stonewall . I realise now, that wasn't all they were going to do. tftc
Found while out doing the nearby Wherigo with some other crazy cachers !
The co ords were spot on thanks !
The co ords were spot on thanks !
The previous hider had done such a great job in hiding the cache, so the pressure was on, to hide it in the same way
Thankfully I choose the right side, and with the help of the hint, found the cache quickly. Thanks for the hide!

Fortunately a second pair of eyes managed to spot the cache tucked away as the first cursory glance would have surely left us miffed if we did not find it. Just goes to show that the shadows and the dark are not helpful when trying to spot the obvious.
Out & about with the crew attempting the Wherigo today, we stopped by here for a quick search. And we were lucky! If not for Jag50's eagle eye, we may have been searching there still. Thanx FTC
Did a drive-by with my caregivers to find this geocache and the other one that is close by. A very good hiding spot as well. Tftc.
On the walk out I was on the wrong side of the wall but heading back to the car I went straight to the right spot. TFTC
TFTC we are new to this and kids are having awesome fun. Loved this one as we use Park often.
Actually found this one last week and thought I had logged it but must have forgot. I struggled with this one but when I stopped focussing on the clue, I finally found it. TFTC
Scotty & Kiwi out exploring Barry Curtis Park. Even though it is a fairly flat park we seemed to get turned about on all the different paths fairly easily. Strangely the GPS does not work as well as expected in this area. Nice quick find once we made it to gz. Cool looking kids park nearby. TFTC
Pretty sure I found this one at a previous time many years ago but nevertheless have found again. I didn't have a pen this time but have photo to prove if needed. Tftc
Mrs team b had obviously not had a proper woman look. Mr team b found it where she'd already looked. Oops!
Found it! Surprising as it was dark so beware of the creepy crawlies! W /cindylou008
With our schooled eyes we also found this one pretty fast..no muggles around!

Very muggy Sunday so decided to combine some caching with dog walk this morning.This was the last of our finds and luckily found it pretty quickly which was just as well as geodog was getting pretty hot I had to carry him part way back to the car.
Dad, sister and I were looking for this one. Took a bit of searching, but thanks to my sharp eye I spotted something within the cracks. Also, I think the hint is slightly misleading... haha. Thanks for the cache!
Haha! Barry turned out to be a plastic toy soldier!! He will greet the next family
