As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Can CO please check to make sure this cache is still there.
Pretty sure it is gone.

Back for a second look. Lots of rubbish blowing around. Will try this a 3rd time once the owner has checked it.
Was like searching in a rubbish dump for us. Didn't have enough time to have a good search.
Will be back.
Will be back.
A reasonably quick find with slieschke on our way back out of Tauranga towards Matamata and then home to Auckland. TFTC!!!
Found reasonably quickly with FMZ before departing Tauranga to head back home to Auckland. Thanks!
Nice to tick this one off after a DNF on a previous visit. Cache is in great condition and was found after a minute or two of searching.
Had previously hunted for this cache when it was missing. Nice to be back and no problems this time.
Many thanks
Many thanks
Finally found this one, have been here several times thru out the year with no luck, stoked to get this one today!
Quick find today without a GPS since we had a fair idea of where we should be looking. TFTC
Replaced cache again, left a small sestima container with a trackable TB55DZ5 and other bits and pieces inside. This time... eyes down!
Yipeeee nice easy find have been wanting to do this for a while as it's only 250m from my partners house but with the DNF thought I'd leave it till it got replaced . And got the TB to move on and hope for no crashes that I come across on its journey
Couldn't find this one but we are aware that there has been a clean up on the course recently, so it may have been disturbed or removed. May want to check on cache. Thanks
A friend couldn't locate this yesterday despite contacting us for assistance. We called in tonight while in the area and sure enough it's gone. There's more rubbish at GZ and the fence and a tree branch appear to have been damaged since we were here in July. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
Darn it. Always struggle to find bush caches. Co ords were jumping around was on the golf course side looking . Co ords calmed down and had me right on fence line. Took a few snaps of where we thought but nada. Didn't know if was gl or in tree.
Found with nzkites and Stickman2000 (relogging, previously part of The Brown Treasures). Our first cache find. TFTC!
Not hard, looked for a few minutes and I found it. It was our first find. Thanks for setting it up. Found with nzkites. Thanks "The Amazing Greg".
Out for the day with Mrs nzkites' sister, nephew & niece (The Brown Treasures) who we introduced to caching today. A quick easy find this time with good co-ords. Thanks to the CO for replacing the cache!
No luck for me today. Wasn't sure which side of the fence I was supposed to be on but stayed away from the golf course.
A long walk for a DNF, and we looked from both sides. As this is the third 'not found' is the cache still there? Or should we come back another time and try harder?
Noce easy Cache, desperate to pass on a trackable that i have had for far too long, just squeezed him in so hopefully he'll move on soon as its a bit of a tight fit.

Only once did I have to be looking for a golf ball, pretty hard considering I don't play golf. Looked all around and finally spotted it while on the other side of the fence. Was completely uncovered so after signing log covered it with a few leaves and things. Just a bit more camo. Left a counterfeit $1USD. TFTC.
Managed to locate parking not too far away and headed for the GZ. Was greatfull for the leafy cover to enable a quick find, grab and sign, Had often thought that this would make for a great spot for a cache.

On an afternoon zip around to find a few caches, good to knock this one of the list, TFTC
Quick find in the early evening so no golfing muggles around TFTC.

Decided to see if there were any new caches we hadn't discovered (not being a premium member and having the luxury of email alerts!)....spotted this one, a perfect place to stop on the ay home from swimming with the girls. The course was quite busy and the girls were quickly climbing trees in 'the rough'...after 10 minutes of darting in and out we found the cache. Turned out you don't need to go into the golf course!!! Ha ha. Swapped a few items and made Grace sign the log......her first - just need to sign her up now!!!

Second time lucky. Today there was no major weekend golf tournament with people running around looking for their balls. Really quiet today and with a bit of thinking and some luck I managed to unearth the cache fairly quickly. Left a trackable. TFTC
Went out for some fresh air this afternoon and decided to find a few local caches. Not a lot of muggle traffic so it was a nice easy find. Didn't have a pen with us though, so couldn't sign the log... took a picture of the cache in case this online log gets challenged, happy to upload it . TFTC!
The rain was pretty hard when we tried for this cache. Pleased to locate it quickly. SL TFTC
Nice cache, easy to find, unfortunately I didn´t have a pen to write into the logbook- that´ll be caught up!
Time to get a few new caches close to home - cache all good - took a bit of wandering but then spied - another area which could do with a tidy up TFTC
Stopped for pizza and remembered this cache. On the way home, so decided to make a quick stop. No trouble... Cache out in the open. TFTC.

Car was parked near GZ, slightly drunk locals doing a bit of covert sign placing for the Dive Sale. With abit of stealth and care with the torch light they were none the wiser of our activities and they were soon off with a squeal of tyres. TFTC

Spent more time retracing my steps to find my glasses which must have fallen out my pocket than i did looking for the cache. All good,thankyou.
**FTF** After reading our emails, we were off the couch very quickly, out the door and driving. On arrival with a vehicle park near by, we thought that someone else had it, but no. Easy to find even in the dark... TFTF
