Needs replacing! This is my closest to home so I am keen to have it back up an running. Thanks.
Hazzfnz and I went for a night walk to get this one....to no avail. We're guessing it's not actually there.
Used to bring the kids here to play when they were little....a great wee spot. TTFC
There were a few muggles around but they were otherwise occupied. Used the hint for a quick find and replace without attracting their attention. A very nice spot to be on such a warm afternoon. TFTC
One of four caches found today while the muggles were staying inside out of the rain! Tftc. #186
In town for a wee family holiday. Mr G grew up in Richmond. Wee dudes tucked up in bed, grandparents in charge. Headed out to Stoke for an evenings run with Mrs G - cache 4/7. Great tree, quick find before dashing off again. Cheers.

This cache was found as part of my epic as move down south to Christchurch from Auckland - A drive that involved around 3,000km, 350 caches, 14 days, and a bit of a detour through East Cape, Gisbourne, Napier/Hastings, some back roads in the Wairarapa, Cape Pallisier and Nelson/Tasman as well as every CANZ cache along the way that I was still missing. (Hence my excuse for the not as interesting log as I usually try to make mine.) But thanks to every awesome amazing as cacher that placed caches along these roads, you made my trip awesome, and very cache happy!
An easy find not long after lunch. Wanted to find a couple more before going beach, as it was extremely hot.
TFTC!!

Container was in full view as I walked up to the tree, recovered with natural camo

Saw the cache from 15m. It had been found by muggles. Tried to hide it with more camo. TFTC
2nd find for the day.
Easy find (despite the GPS having a mind of its own close to the cache site!) as the cache itself was in plain sight! Covered it back up and logged the find.

My 2nd visit to this spot; I think I must have found the first before the shenanigans occurred, fortunately for me. Today was very straightforward, the cache was visible from at least 5m away. Looks like some muggle logs in the book and a cryptic clue maybe from a treasure hunt played by the locals? If so then the current muggles are more friendly than the last. Replaced and attempted to recover a bit more than I discovered it. TFTC!
What a cool little park, easy find some cool stuff inside $20 left isn't real!
As I arrived could see the cache from quite a distance out so when replaced added some extra camo. Nice spot, again have lived within a km for 28 years and never been here! TFTC
Another nice easy cache. Good to pick up a couple of easy ones this afternoon. TFTC
Spied immediately and had to be discreet due to junior muggles imitating the all blacks nearby.
Mini-muggles playing in the cul-de-sac were too busy playing to notice half the team disappearing down the bank. Tftc
nice quick find in the green yard

Quick find after a trip to the airport. What a magnificent tree and the flowering bluebells round and about much such a pretty sight. TFTC, it brought me to a place I had never visited before 
.
.Found late at night with friends after a huge day out. Ran to Gz heard a dog barking so couldnt hang around too long. Name of the cache was interesting =)
Hadnt been down this area before.LB & Dazza did a quick run to this one even at night was quite light so not a problem for them to find although I think the dogs barking might have made them hurry.TFTC
Finally got around to re visiting this neat old freind great to see it waiting for me in a muggle free zone.
Nice, quick find with our little people; luckily nothing else untoward in GZ. Thanks.
A familiar tree indeed, I remember the previous cache here at this spot, and nice to see another.

Called in for quick find. Turkey shoot number two at this tree. Nice example. Most grand.

I needed some fresh air after a super lazy Sunday so went on a small caching trip with Holymu. Yet another small park we didn't know about and so close to home. The turkey was truely impressive. A geriatric muggle took great interest in our doings leaning on his cane. The undulating terrain and a diversion by one of the team made it an easy find all the same. A dot on the calendar and another smilie. TFTC
The need for a bit of fresh air before thinking about dinner meant a visit to a nearby cache. It needed some diversionary tactics by Hazedarus while I grabbed the cache then we retreated behind Quercy to sign the log. The muggle gave up and shuffled back down his path so it was quickly replaced in it's hidey hole before he appeared again on the other side of a shrub. TFTC.
Easy find with Wilson#41 on a night caching walk.
The tree looks spooky by torchlight.

After a stormy day looking out the window and dispairing at the leaking window frames and water running across my office floor, I had low expectations of achieving a calendar day find. I was pleasantly surprised when I headed out that rain had abated and the streets were quiet as every one was parked up in front of telly watching decrepit rockers sing out of key to their aged queen.
Cache not as well hidden as it could have been, so tucked it up a bit more to keep it warm.

Did not know that this park was here - we were a bit concerned about a car parked nearby but luckily we were not able to be observed at GZ where we did indeed find the csche - what a neat little place - thanks for beinging us here and the cache
Don't remember ever being to this park before and it is certainly well filled . Took a walk and luckily the angles were right for some muggles sitting in the car not to see us at GZ As stated the hide was soon identified and another cache to add Thanks for bringing us to a new place for us and showing us this massive feature

This spot certainly took me back to my early caching days. As per the CO's comments, I hope that the vandal that ruined the original has moved on, up or out! TFTC, Biggles.
What a dinkie wee park. Just big enough for a Quercus, a few buttercups and not much else. - - - Had pictures of chasing turkeys - - or turkeys guarding GZ, but all quiet when I dropped by. TFTC
Nice One!!!!!!!!!Quick lunchtime walk from the local from high school. Remember the spot well for all the wrong reasons. Found Turkey I in a pouring down huricane. Today was sure different. Beautiful clear sky, cool nip in the air and walking across the autumn leaves created a nice new "caching memory". Thanks
arrived at GZ and quietly retrieved the cache
our first cache for the day
beautiful looking tree.
thank you for the cache.

Early morning find in the cold on the way to airport. Think it was a nice tree but too dark to see! TFTC
Not going cold turkey for this one so left it for the mid afternoon sun. Left the gag chicken to visit some of her relations. TFTC #3374
Nocturnal smiley for me. I remember the previous cache here too, but didn't know about all the other drama. TFTC
FDF - and 2nd to sign log. SoBad had just started to watch the Warriers when the cache was listed. So Mrs sorted the GPS etc for a 'half time' trip. Back 4 minutes into the second half. We had found the original on the 3rd day and commented that is was definitely worth a daylight visit. Which it is ... except when you want one more FDF for a a certain person's local challenge. We had not realised the history of the other cache - nasty really. Thanks and good luck with the replacement.
FTF!!! A cold autumn night FTF with teeth chattering; hard to beat that for entertainment. Some company would have improved things further.
I remember the previous cache here well, well enough to overcome the self inflicted obstacles of low GPS and torch batteries and a poor memory of the hint specifics. There was just enough ambient street light to find the cache eventually. Remembering the clue would have helped - doh. So at least two Turkeys tonight I wonder if any others will venture out. TFTC.
