Looks like it has gone missing. I can't get to it because of travel restrictions so it is disabled until I can.

The main road looked to busy, so I parked down the side street and walked over. There being nothing where the hint suggested, I projected to the nearest point and spotted a likely hiding place. I was worried opening up the bag since I had been fooled by doggie poo bags in the past, but this one did in fact contain the cache. TFTC.
 
22-Dec-18
Found it on our way back from Matakana farmers market, together with Team Vendetta.

12-Mar-16
Up this way with Cats&Dragons for the weekend with the main goal of tackling some of the T5 Kayak caches around the Auckland area and a little further North. We also had the side mission to give kiteboarding a go, but unfortunately that fell through last minute, but that only meant we got more caching in. The general plan was to cache around along the East coast from Mangawhai to Mahurangi on Saturday, and a big focus on the Auckland Kayak caches in the Auckland area.

A very early morning start, even by our normal standards (2am), meant we were had a bit of time to grab a few caches before we were meant to meet up for the boarding. But even with a few set backs including a few DNF's we still had a very enjoyable day. Thanks to all the CO's for the placements.

We had just checked out the "Island of Adventure" but with it being high tide and the weather not being too nice we thought we'd leave it for another day and grab a few other caches. Spotted this one from the car when we pulled up to GZ.
 
12-Mar-16
Wow that was an early start, 2am left home, first cache at 4.50am.
Little did we know it but we could have had a sleep in as in the company of HKCB we were meant to be going Kite surfing today, but the place at Omaha double booked us then we had other plans for the rest of the weekend which meant a refund, a bugger but never mnd we did manage some great caches as I work my way torads my goal of collecting caches for the Challenge elective of the DGSc Challenge (stupid evil challenge, I now understand why no-one has ever done this elective previously).
But anyhow, after a long drive and not enough caffine we were ready for a couple of caches.

This was a quick stop on the way to our first objective of the weekend. Great travelling these back roads when they are clear of traffic and any traffic you do see from a long way off.
Our collective thanks must go out to all the cache owners who made this trip possible as we also managed to get quite a number of water based kayak caches along the way, but left enough for next time. We covered from the Managwai Heads to Mahurangi/Waiwera area in the south on the saturday, followed by a trip across Auckland on the sunday

this was the alternative view of the day after we determined that we weren't going to make to Island of adventure this time, maybe next, so it was a chance to grab a few others.
Thanks for the placement

#10839. We decided it was best to park in the side street. It was a short walk to GZ, and a quick find. TFTC.
 
14-Jan-16
We have just one day to explore the area before continuing our northward journey so decided to check out Omaha Beach, Leigh and Matakana. We were surprised at the volume of traffic on most of the roads we travelled so had to be careful with stopping and parking for caches along the way. Thanks to all the COs who have taken us to some fabulous locations.
We left the find for the drive south, turning into the nearby quiet side street to park. StreetWalker had found the cache before I even got to cross the road.
Didn't notice in TBS in the container. TFTC.

Discovered with casaba3 today - the last of the caches in Leigh and on the way back home. Tried to be inconspicuous with 5 of us there but did have a few cars passing - hoping they didn't give us a second thought. TFTC. TNLNSL.

BTW - the Two Virgos trackable stated as being here was not in the cache when we found it today.

2 adults, 1 teenager and 2 children on the side of the road with nothing but a signpost to visit, not weird at all. There's no camouflage says the youngest ... umm that will be because finding it by accident at this spot is highly unlikely. Found with krmNZ. Thanks for the cache nodo.

Found today with Sir & Lady Harveyjj.Smile

Please forgive the generic log as I'm logging as & when I have access to wifi so details of individual caches have become hazy, however that does in no way detract from the time and effort you as CO have put into your hide - that's very much appreciated.
We're in New Zealand on an extended holiday and have loved every minute of it.
We're very grateful to you for placing caches which have led us to some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The logs have been signed either in our individual caching names or as T2 (being Sir & Lady Harveyjj plus B.D.I's)
Cache returned safely from whence it was found.

Thank you and greetings from the UKBig Grin

Neat hide Cool

Over from the UK for a holiday and thought we would try and add this to our collection of finds.

We have signed the log as T2 (Team 2 = B.D.I's & Sir and Lady Harveyjj)
Many thanks for the cache and bringing us here Big Grin

Parked on the side street and then walked back. Had a little climb, but cache was good in its hiding place. Thanks for bringing us here, everywhere you look is beautiful images of the sea. We are in need of a cafe, so are on our way to Matakana for a refill.

Hello again from Scotland.
Nice grab and run. Best to park on the crest going into Leigh on the left where you are away from the traffic and beware of motorised muggles, there are lots of them.
Took chain, left label. TFTC.
