No response from owner to needs maintenance.
As I live nearby and was FTF I know where it should be: definitely missing.

Neither can anyone else including me and I was the first to find and I live about 100 metres away - see the previous needs maintenance log- I thought I had submitted a needs archived but it seems to have not gone through so trying again.
Cache should be disabled- hopefully the reviewer will soon deal with this one if the owner doesn't.

Missing, presumably muggled. Log date will be incorrect as I am logging from mobile. Noticed its absence when passing at around 3p.m. on 26th. Checked the other nearby spots in case it had been placed wrongly but no sign of it.

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!
A quick grab in the morning on the way to the oldest cache.
TFTC!!

#45 (for me) of Tom&Thomas' 50-something cache road trip to Wainui' to find the oldest cache in NZ, GC46.
The GPSr took us to each frng in turn till we finally made it to the correct one (the last one...)
Surf tried to remove the cache but hadn't had her Stong pills this morning.
I quickly managed to retrieve it but feeling conscious that we were being watched by the the bouncer for the event on at the (hall?) across the road keeping a good eye on us, I moved to one of the other seats to sign the log.
This cascaded to 5 min of Musical Chairs (without music) to our amusement as well as the bouncer's.

Easy grab despite the location. However the GPS kept changing its mind as to where we should look. So after the cache we played musical chairs for another 10 minutes. Locals must have thought we were mad. Probably disguised our earlier activities though.
Found with Etherlord and SmurNZ on a super awesome record breaking 50 cache day trip.

Early on a Sunday morning and I still had to wait for a few muggles to move on before I approached gz. Once they had, the cache was a quickly found in the obvious place. TFTC
Quick find whilst parked up on the bench. Log book signed and hidden away again quickly!!
I had a good look for this on my way past to no avail. Now I'm thinking its a bit strange as I found straight away on my way back and I really can't believe that I missed it. Anyway a smiley so all is good! TFTC #3659
Wished that I read the log of robnz . Searched at the listing co-ords , but was unable to find anything out of the ordinary .will visit again with the co-ords as per FTF listing

See previous logs. Cache is still there, as I usually pass here at least once daily I am likely to notice if it goes missing.
I rechecked the coordinates independently of those I posted when I FTF'ed the cache and the result was within .001 of them each way so near enough.
So could the owners please check and update the coordinates.
If they need any assistance and/or to borrow my GPS if it is likely to be more accurate than theirs could they please message me as I am happy to meet them at GZ and it is only a minute or two's walk from my home.
But I am surprised that the previous loggers restricted their search so much when even allowing for the small difference in coordinates it is an easy find with a bit of thought!

Mr4 & I had a little time to kill while waiting for a script to be filled, so we thought we'd give this one a go. Nobody looked twice at him crawling around (lol) and it wasn't long before he found it! Nice to knock off another local hide, TFTC.
1.30pm. Bought a pie and sat on a few seats to eat. Third time struck the jack pot.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
I wasn't at all confident that this would be a successful hunt tonight. I thought that I could at least work out where the cache located and maybe gauge when a good time might be to return. As it turned out, darkness was my friend and I was able to carry out my mission even though there was a good number of people about. A bit more strength was required than I expected.
Despite the forecast, the weather remained fine so we decided to pop out and polish off a few caches that have appeared in the area lately.
Despite the number of cars parked nearby, all was quiet at GZ as everyone seemed to be shopping, not enjoying the sunshine. StreetWalker found the cache on the second of the obvious hiding places that he searched, while I was waiting for my GPSr to fire up.

This was the third of four caches that I did with agcnz and -gonefishing- as we went on a lunchtime exclusion picking up a few new caches around the Lower Hutt area.
Had looked at this one when it was published and knew the area as I have being here for work visiting the local supermarket and knew that it was not going to be an easy cache to pick up by myself.
Arriving near GZ we managed to find a car park not too far from GZ and decided to go and pick up some lunch from a nearby shop, this was the perfect distraction as while we were having lunch we were able to scope out the area and soon worked out where the cache was hidden. A quick retrieval then signed and replaced as found before the local muggles knew what was going on.
This is definitely a nice spot for a cache with heaps of history around GZ, thanks for placing it here and for bringing me to this interesting spot, TFTC TNLNSL (4808) yes this spot is definite muggle central.

A quick find at lunchtime today, three of us came and sat down close by to eat lunch so that our activities wouldn't look suspicious. Not sure that I'd want to be coming here at night though... Signed log, TFTC.
Out and about at lunchtime today, so stopped off for a quick find here. Nobody about in the area, which was a little surprising at lunchtime, but I'm not complaining.

#3326. 2TF. A few muggles about today, but fortunately none in the immediate vicinity. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Had I been home this could have been a record breaking FTF as I live a whole one or mwo tinutes walk away!
I was in another part of the valley and as I had been in a meeting had not been checking my phone till about 9:15 p.m and knew when I saw the title that it must be just about on my doorstep!
So a quick dash when I got home for an FTF at 2140 hours.
Coordinates took me to the wrong object so I wondered if the cache had already been muggled (it is in a rather vulnerable place) but it was obvious where else to look and then a fick quind.
A nice unexpected conus bache to end the day when I can pop in and out of home and do it in almost the blink of an eye!
There will be times when it will be unwise to attempt this cache, it can be a hangout for some troublesome young people so be careful, also whenever there is a function on at the hall there could be too much activity to make stealth virtually impossible. All very quiet and peaceful tonight though. At night though use commonsense about your safety in case someone may be lurking!
My reading of coordinates is posted below, averaged using a GPS 62s and with a position error of plus or minus 3 metres so should be quite accurate, not that there should be too much problem with finding it anyway!
TFTC.
Just a silly afterthought, perhaps this could have been called Kainui..... would be appropriate as it means big feed and there are lots of eating places not far away [:o)]
