Lovely fun with the kids.

Found it

It was really easy

Found

Found!

Very nice!

Happy hunter

Mission Accomplished! "**Another hidden gem found! Thanks for the adventure and the awesome hide. Logging this find and moving on to the next.

Fiund it

Found without too much trouble. TFTC.

Snails on the container but great find!!!!

Nice find thanks

After a brief search, looked through logs, someone posted much better coordinates, found instantly at correct coordinates.Found with Reschedule

Bit of digging through previous finds to confirm coordinates were off, once we were on the right path it was a quick find

Found

The Map was so confused

Good hide. The trackable is not in here so Im assuming someone has either taken it without logging or whoever put rubbish in there has stolen it

Thank you. it was so sad because the box was filled with someones rubbish so we restored it with some of our own belongings so that hopefully someone in the future can enjoy it again.

It was a good spot and took us a while to find it

Found it! Cache had water throughout it unfortunately. Tried to dry out the paper for a little bit. Might need to replace the logbook. Thanks Stella and Jack!

Too easy

Tucked away again, little bit wet

Thanks for the cache : )

Found it! Little bit off where gps took us but had a look around

GPS seemed to be jumping all over the place on this one. But after a few mins of searching cache on hand. Well hidden. Tftc

Found it , good little hide and left a little something

Found it eventually, good little spot

Thanks Chriswatts for the cache. It’s #1657 for us. We found your cache on 15 September 2022. Definitely not at GZ! About 8m away in fact. No pen today so have included a picture of the (wet) log

Nice simple find, nice walk to

Good cahs

Great Hide thanks heaps.

#12,493. We did not go too wild in Bellevue, Tauranga. GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Found after a bit of a search. Widened the area, and found it well hidden about 9 metres away. The cache was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for the placement, and for bringing us to this site, and …

After a bit of looking found by Maskell kids

Navigation was a bit off. There were a few ants

Nice cache quick n easy, but not a troll in sight when we found it just ants.

Thank you

Thank you for the find. I dread larger caches as they seem harder to find, but this wasn’t as hard as anticipated. Ants are moving in though.

Was just trying to work out whether gummies were necessary when I happened to glance down and see a little something. Really like this area so decided to go for a stroll while I was here!

It was a good spot but it was covered with ants

Where the heck is it???
Did the grass grow over it!!

No luck today with this one

This took a little longer than perhaps it was supposed to! Mr Taylana thought it would be a bright idea to walk down the side of the bridge, risking life and limb! When he was almost all the way across, Mrs Taylana spotted the cache, right by where she was standing! Nothing quite like looking like a fool for your better half! TFTC

Found it

Found it but navigation was a bit off!!

Navigation was a bit off but easy find super cool

Found this one pretty easily. First one we found to have little trinkets GPS was a little off tho

Gps had us 10m off and thanks to some sharp eyes by the LittleOne after scouting around he came up with the hidden troll. Tftc

Found!

Visiting Tauranga for the weekend and collecting some caches. Thanks Supernanny for the advice. GPS had me at the wrong end of the bridge but got there in the end. TFTC

Yay pretty quick to find this tftc

Funny!
On way out to a dinner GC event....and thought I'd look for this ....
Got trousers and sandals really muddy As I was a very thorough troll and went right under whole bridge....then on way out I spotted it; not under bridge after all!
No need to get muddy folks!

Yes we found it woohoo

As we have had rain over the last couple of days and knowing what this area is like the gumboots were a must.
I agree with some of the previous logs that the coordinates are slightly off but that just means putting on the thinking cap and have a good look.
The cache is in good condition.

Over here for the weekend. Tftc

Great find thanks. We fixed the swing while we were down there. Enjoy!

We went through the wrong grassland and wasted a ton of time. Then read the description and that really helped us. Great cache!

Got rather muddy but our first treasure swap

(# 4694). In Tauranga for a funeral and this was within easy walking distance from the place I was staying at. Got this while walking around the wetlands. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC

Molly is legally blind and did not see it as we searched there many times! we searched here for a while and the GPS was wrong by about 8 meters. Fun find gals!

Happy find with 3 jr cachers. TFTC

No trolls found today!!

Nice easy find for miss 8

Nice wander along the path to GZ, place completely deserted today and the cache was in the first place we looked. Great placement, cheers.

What a neat playground for the kids !
No trolls today
Tftc

Shoes got a lot dirtier than they needed to! Was in the first place I looked, but didn't see it until second time around. No trackable in there sorry. Lots of treasure though, much to my 4 year old's delight!

Found with visiting grandsons - ages 5 & 8 - thanks again for the cache. **Took TB "Lulu Bee".**

Is there a book here?

Hi Guys:

We left a trackable in the box but forgot to register it online... if anyone has found a trackable with a black and white picture of my son and I we would be grateful to get the number and send it on its way again!

Thanks again,

Kate

Been here with kids three other times but failed to find but easily found with people who know what they're doing

Helped barker find this one today. Was in the first place i thought of. This has been plaguing her for ages. She was a little annoyed i found it right there. Tftc signed teq, barker and splatty.

Muddy find with Nana (spy3) and Lulu. Also dropped our trackable here and Lu swapped a treasure. TFTC

My husband and my dad found this cache back in 2012. Since then they have both passed away and I had the pleasure of refinding it with my 5 year old granddaughter, who is just getting excited about geocaching. TFTC

Got it second time around. The co-ordinates are about 2-3m off. Got wet feet looking in the wrong place then found the cache when I stopped looking. TFTC.

Yay first geocache we found

Left a little smiley!

Nice day for a walk along the boardwalk

Nice easy find. TFTC

Nice spot

We are down in Tauranga for the weekend for Miss Davieland's gymnastics competition. It would be rude not to collect some local caches. Nice quick find. TFTC.

Easy find!the clue just wea a troll will be gave it away lol

Thank you!

Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache

Was in the area and did this cache with family that came up from Wellington.

Kids loved this one- just were a troll would be!

Lol! Stretch yes! Was a bit empty so top it up with goodies. Bubbles, car, small frisbee and a dragonfly. tftc.

A nice quick find here with no one around. TFTC

Another quick find for clever miss 11

Was quite easy

Found. Mind your head.

Finally got our first find after a few failed attempts around town. And a great walk we didn't know existed. Tftc

?

Awesome

Yay!!

Yay

Found this with Jen. Tftc

Bit Muddy haha quick find

Found with kiwinurse, bit of grovelling but not too bad.

Great find thanks 2 fellow geocachers
