Found the picnic table easy enough but nothing there. Agree with posts before us that it has possibly been muggled
We could not find this one anywhere but my inner child wanted to play at the park then had afternoon tea after.
What an amazing beach one of our favourites. Nice quick find and amazingly on such a lovely sunny day TFTC
Yeow!! It's unite muggy tonight. A little silica sachet could fit in here. Seemed a bit soft (or I could just be overly thinking things in my drunk cache hunting state) thanks!!
Easy find especially with the 3 boys able to locate without drawing any attention. We then headed off to the Fresh Up promotion tent in the nearby reserve. One of the boys spun the wheel to see what challenge he would need to complete to get a box of Fresh Up cans. Resulted in having to do 10x 50 metre sprints dressed up in track pants, puffer jacket and balaclava in 27 degree heat, then eat a dry Weet Bix covered in Wasabi and cocoa powder. Luckily we all got to share in his reward. TFTC
A nice spot, our two boys enjoyed playing on the adjacent playground while we located the cache and signed the log. Thanks for placing it.
Great to have a play in the park while enjoying a wee road trip in my Geonut thanks.
TFTCGot to this one and there were kids playing. Mum just told their parents what we were doing and they were find. Found quickly tftc
A quick find in the park. Grandma had the two littlies and Dad was playing ball with the boys, but no one took any notice of us. TFTC.
Tide in Coromandel are not conducive for fishing, so came over to Matarangi for a bit of cacheing.
Thanks atawhai.
Thanks atawhai.
Lovely evening looking for caches kids played on the park while the adults hunted 
Nice easy find. Was sitting on beach while moxie went for a swim on a hot stunner of a day. Not many people about like a ghost town today . Looked it up and there was a cache just behind where we parked so bagged it.
No time to play...how many caches are there at Matarangi ? Thanks for keeping this one simple.
Thx tmann for replacing this. Last one of the day before heading back to motorhome for the night. TFTC.
Replaced for the owner.
New container and replacement log in plastic bag - in origional location.

Nice area for the family, not many muggles about enjoying it today with the cold wind blowing and the light drizzle. Nice quick find and then we were on our way again. TFTC

Quick visit and quick find. Grandson loved the climbing frame, we had a job getting him off it, to go get ice cream. SL. TFTC. 
Found on our weekend cache raid of the Coromandel. No time for us to have a swim as its a long way back home from here. Good hide and lucky for us no muggles in sight TFTC.
Another one on our biketrip, workers there dropping some of the pine trees. tftc
13:05 Sent Haydn (4 Year's old) to find this one. He soon had it hand and was chuffed with himself. An obligatory swing was had. TFTC.
