This cache has been here for awhile but it seams the unsavoury elements of the area are taking it over so have decided i will Archive till things improve. Thanks to all those who found and sorry to those who didnt.
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
I would say it has definietely been muggled. Found an empty plastic bag on the ground but no cache.
While travelling around in New Zealand we visited this cache, but this one didn't show up.
The only thing I found here was an empty ziplock bag...
Thank you for letting us see the country!

Looked in the likely places, then in the not so likely places and in the less likely places and finally in the unlikely places.
But not in the right place.
I suspect it may have gone walkabout.
Time will tell

Found this one a few months ago, muggles had been at it. We put it all back together and in place. Lovely area.
During our trip through NZ we found a lot of interesting places and caches of course.
Thanks to all owners for hiding and leading us to some special places.

Back home in Denmark after a lovely 3 weeks holiday in New Zealand and now there is time to log all the cache I found. Thanks to all cache owners to show me all these amazing places.
[green] Down in Motueka from Palmerston North for a bit of a family gathering over Christmas. Went for a morning stroll with my sister in tow.
After doing H for Retirement it is back into the bush, picking all the trails that curve away from where we want to go, and backtracking a bit to go up the other path. Eventually get there. The cache had a lovely verandah of spider web with little leaves. Erica tried to get the cache without disturbing it, but alas some of the verandah's anchor points were attached to the camouflage sticks.
Sorry, spider.
[red] Merry Christmas from the Seagnoid!

Logging finds from 2 months on the road in the Nelson/Marlborough area. Walked right through the park and found ourselves on the wrong side of the stream. Eventually let cachers instinct guide us instead of relying on the GPS. A lovely area. Motueka is blessed with great tracks and great caches. TFTC
I just had some time left before dinner so I went to this park and get this one.

Thanks very much for the lovely walk in the park today. It was nice and cool under the trees. Picked up a trackable to move on.
This was a good traditional cache spot. No pencil in box. No undesirables around today thank goodness!
Found the cache, then found our pen didn't work! If owner would like proof of us being here, I took a photo! 
Easy find (loved the clue) but there was a pool of water inside cache and log book soaked beyond repair, so I replaced it with a temp one in new ziplock bag ..
Not sure on the protocol of removing old one so I apologize if I did the wrong thing by removing it .. I have however taken a photo & spread any salvageable signed pages out in an attempt to dry/preserve them, and can either return them next week or mail to the CO if they would like me to (?) .. The book itself I discarded as it was completely soaked and slimy to touch *ick
Thanks for the hunt

Today we set our American friend Jeff loose with our GPS. He did really well. I think he an ardent Geo Cacher now.
An enjoyable walk in the park by torchlight as darkness was descending, and a reasonably quick find for the cache. Signed log, TFTC!
Decided to come out for a bit of a raid on Motueka today. This was my first find in a place I seem to have been to before. Nice piece of bush in this reserve.

Mad dash through Thorps Bush to see how quick Hawkeye Jnr and I could pick up the couple we had loaded up. Memories flood back of the previous cache we had found in the area in an earlier trip. Cheers.
#62 Found on a nice and sunny walk after a hang gliding adventure in Motueka. Thanks and greetings from Sweden!
Quick n easy find a short walk from the car TFtC

Being so close we couldn't 'not' try to bag this one. The park is surely well used. Holymu spotted this one while grandson and me tried other 'possibles'. TFTC
A wander across to this cache after finding one on the other side of the park made sense. A few people were taking advantage of the nice day to relax with books etc but none near GZ so a trouble free find. TFTC.
Went for a wander while the others did some shopping. A quick find once I defined where GZ was. TFTC

Chose the grassy way to get to GZ so that Miss Geckoh (who had previously broken her jandals) would not get sore feet. Nice big tree, cache in obvious spot. TFTC

Needed a quick one for the 12-12-12 so went out and did this one in the dark and we will use it for a night cache as well.Nice little stroll not far from home and nobody was around in the park perfect timing and a nice quick find at 10:23pm and straight home to log it.TFTC
Nice park but without any other people at the time we visited it. The container was lying there without anything on top of it, so we spotted it immediately. After logging we covered it a bit. Thanks.

On a cachertour in Motueka we stoped at this place. We have been waiting for better weather to walk in the Abel Tasman Nationalpark and what is better than geocaching... Thanks for hiding the box
Have had a few chances to wander around this park now. And it was a wander and a squish across the soggy grass today to sign the log, and thereafter of course to find the more direct & dry path. TFTC.
TFTC.Early morning stroll to get this cache. Looks like a nice sunny day after all the rain n this area.
Lovely bush Park, but very wet today, pleased we had our gumboots. PU 2 TB's TFTC

Back again several times ! It is a nice spot, albeit a bit damp in places. Thanks for the cache.
