Kakariki Quest (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand

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 a prior reviewer note.

Hi cfahey1

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

Look around could not find

cfahey1 and I checked this cache and could not find it. The trees here have grown amazingly in the years since we put it there. Unfortunately we'll now need to disable it.

Couldn't find it and by the sounds of it, it isn't here anymore according to previous logs.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

No sign of this one, based on past logs maybe it's gone.

Based on past entry's re the log book and container maybe the owner needs to do a check on this one.

Found container, but no log or anything. Container was open and just lying on ground.... I flipped the lid over to confirm it was the cache

Found it open in the open no log book full of water maybe muggles got it

Nice quiet park ..cache was quickly located..signed and replaced as found thanks for the cache...the cache is in good condition

We were in the area today and stopped to look for this cache. There was lots of natural camo covering this. All good here thanks.

A stick was a helpful tool to help locate cache at the coordinate site.
Swapped a kakariki pencil for a rainbow coloured kiwibird keyring.

I DNF's this back in 2018, glad to get it this time. A few trees checked then success. Cheers

Hearty cheers for the cache

Who decided to cache on a snowy day. Only someone with a dot day of course. Amazing this was quite dry. But now my hands are cold, Yeah for gumboots

Second time out here and success. Am fond of this park, grew up across the road. Best hint was in the last find. Tftc

Given recent DNFs we anticipated this might be harder than it was. But the coordinates were good. At the largest and obvious hint item we poked in the leaf litter with a stick and immediately found the cache. Having just come away empty handed with a DNF at [Stewarts Gully Station](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6WCC5_stewarts-gully-station-canterbury) at the north corner of the park, we felt vindicated. TFTC!

I had a good look /poke around here, but couldn't find this cache.

No luck with this one

Couldn’t find it searched under trees around the area and underbrush

A nice easy find here. Didn't have anything green so left a multi coloured keyring. TFTC.

So hot today. Tftc

First cache and a good hunt thank you very much for the cache hunt

What a lovely reserve! I've been here once before for a now archived night cache but didn't fully appreciate it in the dark. A quick find with help from the hint. Not much kakariki swag in there but left some green geocaching stickers. Tftc!

I had about 3 hours to get from Kaiapoi to New Brighton, how convenient! Wellhidden under leaves and things! TFTC!!

Today Flying Phoenix was skiing with his sister and Mrs Biggles was at an all day meeting so I had some time to myself to go and find a few caches. Whew! This felt more difficult than a D1.5 to me. A few hint options to search and it did take me quite a while before I got my hands on the cache but I did in the end. TFTC, Biggles.

Nope. Too many trees!

Found quickly, as I came out of the bushes a muggle and dog were coming towards me, they probably thought I was doing something else . TFTC cfahey1, ayeffay

#7741

Humbug, I had a good lookie around the place but no luck. Lots of dog walkers to avoid too, a popular place. Cheers

Ducked out in the morning, before my afternoon shift. I was going to look for a different cache in the area but was foiled by muggles. Thankfully this wasn't too far and no sign of muggles. I was pleasantly surprised to see my new Galaxy S9+ had counted down to 0.23m by the time I'd signed the log - even under trees!
TFTC cfahey1, ayeffay
Find # 3271

After a DNF 2 years ago I decided to give this another go while we were in the area, and yahy, found it. Left a green window.

nice hide.

Nice easy find

This huge reserve was a bit of a surprise. What a lovely spot. Circled round and round a bit before seeing what I was after. TFTC # 12,071

Caching with my nephew today

Found it quite quickly in grasses right exactly where GPS took us

17:50
Took me longer to spot this as it should have. Also did some unnecessary bushbashing that I shouldn't have. Anyway, nice park and cache

#5480

#14525. By this stage we were getting rather damp. Another slog through wet grass, and another (thankfully) quick find. TFTC.

Not the best place to be on a cold drizzly day, but at least it was a short walk and it didn't take long to find the cache. Tried to keep the log book dry while doing the paperwork.
Haven't been out this way for a while. TFTC.

#2,888: Yess Smiley!
Out for a MMM with TW and TG! We stopped here after success with a nearby puzzle. Found fairly quickly. All in good shape!
SL/TFTC!!

First cache of the day with not very nice weather. Gps was spot on, i thought hmm that looks like where i would put a cache - presto! Loved watching the fantails as well! Tftc

First find on a cold wet morning. Tucked away safe and dry where the GPS pointed us. Tftc!

Spent about 25min on a very bitter autumn afternoon shifting a lot of wet leaves around a lot of trees over about a 30m radius to allow for what others have said the coordinates are out. Had a friendly fantail keep me company but no cache

Out for a ride caching on the way T4T$

Taylay found it

Thank you for a morning tea geo cache.
My second one.
Log book a bit damp.
But was able to write in it

Found with moneydork. TFTC

This one took some searching

This took a bit of time but found it all tucked away. TFTC

Kids went for a play and we headed straight to this one. Don't know why I checked the correct location, something drew me to it haha

Found it

Slowly knocking off those in the Belfast to Amberley zone, TFTC

Tricky

Found it bottom of tree

Like it has been mentioned. The cache is about 10m out?
Thanks for the hide all the same.

Rough to find! Rummaged around and found it not too far in from 2 small round bushes.

Another quick one after golf in Kaiapoi. Tftc.

A bit north and a hunt and ta dah!!!

Sent 7 year old cachlet in for the find. Tftc

A bit of a scramble through the undergrowth and hey presto!

Very hot day but needed a cache so lathered up the Croods in sunblock and off we went. Didn't take too long with 4 Croods spread amongst the trees. Quick play on the playground but too hot so back home to off.

#22. As I was looking 'off the mark', Nichok found this one where his GPS told him!

Nice hide. Doing these GCs while doing the Brooklands leg of the CHC 360 track. TFTC

Couldn't find it. Hunted all around the area but no luck.

Found it, was a bit off the mark.

FOUND thank youu

Quick easy find on a day to visit the river nearby. Thanks for the cache. (Late log due to phone logging issues sorry)

Found after a bit of searching. Not sure if I would have continued without hints from previous activity. Lots of families in the park for new years day. Tftc!

Found this one after a bit of searching around. Just as the earlier posts suggested it was north of the coordinates, around 10 m north according to my GPS. I'm glad I managed to spot it. Tftc.

Found pretty quick after a short methodical search, and with help from 1066's log. Happy to have it off the list after a DNF more than three years ago. TFTC (2645)

With six DNFs we didn't hold out too much hope but thought we would have a look anyway. It was only a few trees north of co-ordinates.

No luck for the DCC here.

Couldn't find it daylight look no good for us today.

Not for us

full day of the Mega long weekend we (Dunedin Caching Crew - DCC) hit the road and went for a drive to log as many caches as we could.

five of us spread out and searched within 5m of co-ords. No luck

nope no luck for me either

A hunting the PEGS crew went with the DCC gang, but didn't come up trumps :O(

No luck tonight with eight pairs of eyes looking in the dark.

Looked and looked but couldn't find it.

Second time attacking this cache grrr

What a nice park. Got muggled by a dog but didn't see the owner. Quick find at GZ but not the first place I looked. TFTC.

Out for a drive with bugzptr on a lovely sunny afternoon, had found 2 new caches in thr area that were published earlier today, as we were driving home he said i should find this one too, after a bit of a hunt round the cache was located TFTC

Second time looking sees a smiley!

Good find. Thanks!

Gps on phone playing ip nut good find

Searched for ages! Moved leaves all over the ground and everything

Last cache of the day as the sun was setting on a lovely hot evening. TFTC

first planned find of day. Looked in the hopefully right area for some time, but came out with a dnf. Maybe next year.

Short hot walk in the park. Thanks

Found easily as we spotted it walking along. Covered with a few leaves afterwards. Tftc

Day off today so I thought I'd grab this cache, as its only 200m from home. GPS coordinates are slightly off and spent most of the last half hour going in circles. Didn't help that coverage amongst the shrubs was dicey, and phone kept jumping from point to point. Don't recommend getting this one when it's been raining. I came home liking like a drowned rat, but a find is a find. Signed log, took the parachute solider and replaced with a Praying Mantis toy.

Easy once we got the coordinates right but forgot a pen unfortunately!

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month. This find allowed me my first bling it also brought me to a peaceful park I had not visited before.

Shame

this was an easy find and our geo hound helped too phronimos and myself both headed in the same direction good find no out and nothing in tftc
