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.
Searched very thoroughly for this cache without success. Based on a previous finder's recollections on its whereabouts, it seems to be missing!
Today, we went on a bike ride to grab some caches. We were not fortunate, and found only 3/8. This was the third in a row we didn't find. Since it's a bit dangerous for kids, little one had to watch for muggles. Although I looked everywhere possible, I couldn't find anything. Since it hasn't been found in more than 6 months, maybe it's simply gone.
I’m not usually in this neck of the woods, but found myself here today and what better thing to do while waiting for A to meet me, than to check out what caches were nearby. Quick and easy find between the cyclists. TFTC!
Just managed to find between the cyclo-muggles. Cold day today. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 1824
TFTC. Very tricky spot as busy. Good to search as a family so we could have lookouts! We couldn't open the cache lid so took a photo in lieu of filling in the log.
Damp inside container-maybe lid hasn’t been put on well-I live close by so will come back with a note pad and new plastic bag
The scrap of paper constituting a log is very wet and ripping when writing. Needs replaced. Tftc

Birthday cache of the day! Went on a detour to home after bday dinner at TJ's in Riccarton. Surprisingly, during my previous 9 years of geocaching, I've only found one cache on my birthday before. Well, now it shall be two!
Logbook was just a gunk that would be impossible to recover so we took the decision to throw it out and put some dry paper in.

Very straightforward though as others have noticed the log book does need replacing. Couldn’t sign. Thanks.
The log was a soggy mess, unable to write our names in it. TFTC minty_express

Happy to make the find, despite the state of the cache. Needs some serious maintance. Found with debsnz
This cache needs a bit of TLC as it is wet and log is turning to mush. Found with AorakiSheep
Nice quick chance here but it a bit damp inside. Sorry I didn't have a replacement with me.
Great catch although there was no pen and log was wet but great catch thanks
Found with geegeefromfiji cab165 and odgersaj. Log is saturated as was not in the ziplock in the container
Found a soaking logbook wth cab165, ggff (geegeefromfiji) and hughdg after an akaroa holiday... fairly sure we're being watched...
After a DNF back in 2012 we have finally come back again.Found it quickly before Muggles appeared but the Container had water in it.Dried it out as well as the damp Log Book in the sun on top of the wooden Rail.Pleased to have it off our unfound list..TFTH
I love the signs for trains here! Interesting spot to have some TBs visit from the other side of the world. TFTC from Canada!
found the cache nice and easy. one logbook wet, the other one damp. thanks for the box, rolofant
Go past here all the time and never even knew there was a bridge with a stream! Tftc
Last cache before heading home after a few days at a conference in Christchurch. TFTC.
Nice find on a cold day. Almost poked my eye out on the grass though. No sign of the trackable though. TFTC
This weekend saw us travel down to Christchurch from Auckland to tackle some caches towards our GIO Licence Challenge on Rangitoto Island. We needed to find 125 caches at least 500km from home, which also consisted of at least 50 different owners. Some cheap flights made Christchurch seem like the perfect opportunity to fulfil these requirements. It was a jam packed caching filled weekend, and a bit of a whirlwind visit, but we got to see some cool things during this time.
A quick grab at this old railway platform. Thanks for the hide.

Found this one on a bike ride to the city...had it signed sealed and returned and then realised the camera had rolled down the slope and into the water!!!!! Not a great way to start the day for me!!! Busy place here, luckily a lady who stopped to see whatI was doing only saw me drying off the camera!! Many thanks for the cache minty express.
A nice and easy find on a quiet Sunday morning. Logbook is looking pretty full and could be replaced. Tftc.
Junior cacher and I came to find this while Nana was in the nearby craft shop. It was full of lovely treasures and we were sorry that we didn't have our swag bag on us to make a swap. Then we enjoyed visiting Norman over the road. TFTC!
Log sheet is full - signed on side, bottom second side.
Sorry, didn't have my caching bag else I'd have added a Temp Log to tide you over.

Out for an evening walk and stopped to retrieve this one on the way. Thanks for hide. Super stealth required tonight
Out for some Mega caching with Kyzabra and Jinta29 today. Beautiful country cached today..Thank you minty_express for placing and maintaining this cache.
Jinta29 and I decided to head out this morning to grab and grab as many D/T combinations as possible. The Green Geckos decided to join us so off we went.

Kyzabra and I headed over for the Christchurch Mega from Perth, WA. We teamed up with The Green Geckos for the DT series and a few others today.
A lot of planning was involved with literally hundreds of puzzles solved and we targeted some highly favorited caches as well as those that filled gaps in grids and calenders!
We had a fantastic time caching in the cooler climate and with no fear of snakes or other nasties! Christchurch is my old home town but I did not know about caching when I lived there so it was fun exploring the City with a different objective.
We were glad to grab the smiley on this one and we replaced the container as found. Thanks minty_express for placing this and bringing us to this spot!
This is my find #4323 and find #49 today.

Found on a short long weekend trip across the ditch for the NZMega2015 event.
A zip and a zap from the car and cache was in hand.
TFTC!
