came by here on our trip and looked for this cache - found it. Thanks for the cache say the Knuffelbren.

Day 1 of our TA adventure, and it all started here. Great to finally get to Cape Reinga and get started on my long journey south. Wouldn't be much of a cacher if I didn't find a few along the way.Had to road walk past this due to track closures, and since there was a bit of shade stopped for a minute to cool offIt is also good to make a quick find of the cache. Cheers for hiding one here it made the day that little bit more fun.-- This log is trackable ! ---- Feel free to discover ---- Please mention, in which cache you've seen this code: ---- 3TABQX --

Easy find, enough rain to wash the wee, lol. Found with NutcacheBNE

Nice easy find.

1.00pm. Took a bit of a wander before finally getting the right place.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Nice easy cache -thanks!

Thoroughly enjoying our explorations here in the North. Beautiful weather, such stunning views and we have mostly had the roads to ourselves. So lucky. Cache is all good. TFTC

Great views nearby. The walk looks good too. TFTC

On my way back from Cape Reinge I did some caching.
Thanks.

Neat area watch for poop

Easy find, but also the thought of hmm how many people did a wee behind here thanks for the hide

TaurusSix and I are in New Zealand for a three weeks holiday. We love New Zealand and have had lots of wonderful experiences here previously. This time we have decided to focus our attention on three destinations for one week each, all in the North Island. The Coromandel Peninsula, Waiheke Island and The Bay of Isles. We are very mindful of not focusing all our attention of the holiday on geocaching, however it will still play an important part. We are deliberately focusing on caches that involve some walking, great views, interesting attractions , history and general points of interest. And this will all happen in between exploring, swimming , walking, doing touristy things and relaxing .

Day 16 - Of our New Zealand trip and we are here in the beautiful Bay of Isles. Today we decided to venture as far North as you possibly can in New Zealand, Cape Reinga at the top of Northland ( the other side of the peninsula is technically more north but is inaccessible). Cape Reinga is the most northerly accessible part of New Zealand. We set off reasonably early and intended to take the State Highway 1 all the way, however it soon became obvious to us that there was a road problem and a divert in place (apparently there have been landslides ) so we needed to divert back to Kerikeri before continuing north. Our first stop was Kaitaia where we had a stop for breakfast and to pick up the adventure Lab there along with a traditional cache. Then we continued north, the traffic was quite heavy with obviously many muggles also having the same idea. Once there we parked up and undertook several of the beautiful walks in the area to make the most of the views and scenery. It was a seriously windy day with lots of showers, but not too cold and all in all a wonderful day to explore this historic and beautiful area. We collected the Adventure Lab, earth caches, virtual and traditional caches along the way and also on the way back to Paihia including the Adventure Lab at Kerikeri. All in all a wonderful day at the top end of New Zealand.

This is our thirteenth cache find of the day along with a couple of Adventure Labs. Another great lay by on our way back from the Cape. Muggles were at gz initially so we needed to be patient and took in the views while we waited. As soon as they were gone we quickly located, logged and replaced cache. thanks for the cache thedbees

Stopped here on our way back from the cape.
Thank you for the cache

Out on a tiki tour around Northland. This was one of many. Thanks for hiding thedbees

Out on a maintenance run checking all the Nalawod caches I have adopted. Today was north of Awanui to the top. All is good with this one.

Pandora Rox (Northland) was transferred from nalawod to user thedbees

Not quite the time for the wander along this track, but enough to grab this cache. Time to keep heading south. Cheers

Quick find before heading to Pandora
Thanks

Yay JM finally found a cache!

Good quick find TFTC

The weather was pretty rubbish, but since we had planned to go to Cape Reinga today and our future plans had been altered somewhat because of the sudden lock down, we figured we might as well head that way anyway and just hope the worst of the weather had passed.
As it happened, the weather improved more and more as we returned so we did a slow crawl back, caching as we went.
No muggles to be seen today so a very straight forward find.
Thanks for setting this up for us to find

This cache rocks!

So as we arrive at gz. I found 3 DoC people catching ants literally. Some or other ant that is a pest here. They got a lot samples. They said they will return and sort them out. Awesome

Found with Kiwiterm on a day out to Cape Reinga. Heaps of bees enjoying the manuka so it was a very quick stop! TFTC

found with flossieteacake and daddypig123

Nice, quick and easy find. Just where I would have hidden it.

Heading back to Mangonui after being at the Cape. Was a nice and easy place to park with a great view. Cache all good! TFTC <3

Yay found another one tftc

Yay found it

Day 3 of our trip. Group of Team Seac came up for the weekend. Really enjoyed our day out seeing our beautiful country.

Sorry for the generic logs, but thank you for taking time to put the cache out, and for bringing us here. All logs signed as “SEAC”.

With the mega being postponed a plan was hatched for some of the Team SEAC crew to head north for some fun. Today was day 3 and was a BIG day for a lot of reasons...we set off at 7.30am and got back to our accommodation at 9.00pm but more importantly NZTravellers were going to celebrate their 6000th cache, I was going to hit my 3500th cache and it was 6 years to the day since most of us first met on a caching day out to Rangitoto Island!

Whilst we were quite keen for this walk we just didn't have the time to do so. Had to settle for this cache instead.

Thanks for the cache.

Out with Team SEAC on a long weekend raid of the upper north island. This was day 3 caching in which we cached around the very top of the North Island. This was a quick find following the hint. Signed Team SEAC to save space. TFTC.

With the Mega being postponed we decided to head North with the team SEAC members and see what we could find in the way of caches. We based ourselves at Cable Bay making day trips to the various spots around Northland.

Our ultimate destination today was Spirits Bay and Cape Reinga.

All Logs signed SEAC to save log paper.

Mr NZT made the quick find here today

Day three of our caching adventure to the far north.....with a group from Auckland, venturing up as the Mega Event was postponed due to Covid - 19 and we just had to get caching.

Headed over to this cache, signed in and onto the next....Thanks for bringing us here, a place we might not have otherwise have visited.

Signed in as team 'SEAC' in order to save logbook space.

Thanks for bring us here to somewhere we might otherwise not have visited.


TFTC.

We decided we didn't have time for any of the tracks on the info board, but we did have time for a cache.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Quick find! I hope to come back and walk to the box also one day! TFTC!!

Once I had my coordinates right it was not difficult anymore. @17:37

Round the world trip Made it to New Zealand and will spend some days in the northland. Thanks for bringing up this cache!
Vielen Dank fürs legen und pflegen und beste Grüße aus Leipzig!
Thanks for hiding and many greetings from Leipzig/Germany!

Recent groundwork has left the original hide buried under fresh dirt and debris. We have left a new container with new log in the most obvious hiding place left (actually the only hiding place left which suits the name). Good luck.

Found with a sister during our expedition to NZ (from CZ), where we explored part of the North Island and could visit our classmates and friends that we have not seen for several years, as it is here, in Auckland and Napier live ... Thank you for cache ...

27 October 2019 15:27. Second spot I looked in on the war back south, tftc.

During our vacation in New Zealand we did some geocaching. We saw a lots of amazing places and say thank you to everyone who shared his geocache with us.

Greetings from Germany!

Day eight of our 11 day binge trip we are signing as NNES. We are up North visiting our friend Gracie's GPS fun. Ethness and I are having a wee road trip to St Paul's Rock and Cape Reinga today. We completed the St Paul's Rock walk and caches that I needed for a DT gap. Up to the Cape and back we go. On our way back.

Yay school holidays! Time for a road trip with my friend Ethness. I flew from Christchurch to Wellington. The idea is to drive up to the top of the North Island and back. We planned the trip ages ago.

Thanks nalawod for placing this geocache 7829 find for me.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland.

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

Thanks nalawod for the cache. It’s #1110 for us. We found your cache on 30 September 2019. Quick find on the drive south. Interesting to see the other end of this walk as I’ve just come from the two caches at Tapotupotu Bay.

3:40pm.

Last cache for the day heading back from a few hours wandering around the cape.
1st time up this way, good to see some overnight hikes available for some future trips to the area.
