This cache has not been found or maintained since The Seventh month 2016....perhaps it should be checked/ replaced or archived ....sad because it's a wonderful spot
Trees have been heavily pruned and no sign of the cache. Probably needs CO to check and confirm existence or otherwse of cache.
There seems to be a string of DNFs...maybe the CO could replace the cache or dissable.....very disappointing to have a DNF in such a wonderful place
Great spot. Watch your step if in bare feet as there are a couple of thorny branches on the floor
A good find. Low tide when we visited, so didn't see any orcas
Cache has a PENCIL. Signed in the book as jwest

This one was the last one of our night. Nice easy find to finish off a arvo of caching.
A wonderful day for geocaching. Beginning with a few geocaches on some back roads going up to Whangarei. quick find, tftc
Lovely spot...easy find. .wish we bought our swimming gear....left our signature dots
Another glorious day in Northland and today's destination is Marsden Cove and surrounding areas with lots of caches finds both going to and coming from the area.
The cache was a quick find though it was larger than anticipated (250ml systema container not a micro). No sign of any orcas today, they would have been a wonderful sight. TFTC.

Out and about for the afternoon with CB to find a few caches in this area. We had a great day out and had quite a bit of fun. A couple of finds proved quite eventful too, I explain what happened on those logs. Thanks eveyone for the hides.
No Orca's today. Managed to park close to the cache which made the walk a bit shorter. No trouble finding the cache was at GZ.

Took a wee bit of rummaging around but found easy enough with HappyFacedBandit, thanks for the cache! 
Vanquish found this one for find three of my birthday road trip. Time to turn around and get the rest of this awesome run of caches. TFTC!
Good to finally log this as a find. A favorite summer playground for us. Picked up TB, and left TB Eric. tftc
Big Geocaching day up at dawn and not home until dusk. #26. Managed to find an alternative route to get here as walking along the beach wasn't an option. easy find once at gz and nice and dry.
A lovely area. Lots of new houses since we lived around here. Tide was very high today so we had to hunt for a walkway to get this cache. No Orca's in the harbour today. Easily found the cache and dropped in a TB, thanks 
Dropped off my little friend here. Lovely views. Pop in for a dip little penguin but make sure there are no Orcas in sight. Happy travels
[green]How many more stunning spots is One Tree Point going to reveal?! I just love the area. Took a little friend for a walk here today. No orkas though but an awesome view still.

A beautiful spot which we didn't realise was here. Found quickly at low tide, thank you for bringibg us here
Thankfully this was a quick find. After having had 3 DNF's in a row, we were pleased to spy this one. TFTC
We had some time to fill in while we waited for the afternon low tide, so we opted to go for a walk along the beach finding the caches along the way. After DNFs at the first 2 caches we were feeling a bit dejected by the time we reached The Orca's Ball. We were very pleased to spot the newly replaced cache after only a short search. Thanks! Now to walk to the point.
Replaced the cache today. Please ensure it is weighed down with a rock and covered with debris to prevent further muggling.

No orcas here today but a great view! Sadly we had no luck finding this one after quite a long search
Wandered along from the menhir store and spotted the cache from a distance as it was a little exposed. Replaced and covered up a little better. TFTC
Enjoyed the walkway. We werent going anywhere else as the tide was full. Thanks.
A beautiful sunny day. Felt like the first day of spring. A lovely caching walk along the beach with tide out. TFTC

We had to root around for this one. Got to the spot just s the GPS signal died.
The rock wall had us looking around a bit.

Nice easy find. Have neither a friend with me who is having her first geocache experience
Out and about up north enjoying the sunshine. Found using the cliff top access TFTC.
Beautiful day, kids had a lovely swim just after high tide in the calm bay. Easy walk to this string of caches from the beach access on Manaia View Road, with no wading or scrambling. Tftc!
A quick stop on our way north today, really enjoying the great weather and the caches that we found along the way. Nice area along here.

My satnav decided to bounce all over the bay, but due to the hint and satelllite view we found it. TFTC
Wind and Sea quite rough but fine weather. Nice walk and Tftc. Didn't spot any Orcas but might come back in the morning to check.
Handed the GPSr to Mrs McArgister for the first time and she led us straight up to this one. She even spotted it on approach. Great day for a walk on the beach today. Rehid with a bit of extra camo. Apologies to the next hunter!!!
First tried the clamber down the cliff approach by half the team. Couldn't locate. Then went on to the next cache and found a very nice pathway, that made the approach much easier lol.. Nice spot. Quick find. SL. TFTC. 
No orcas here today. The tide was so far out probably would not have seen then anyway. But I did see lots of caches & panoramic views
went for a quiet walk up the beach late afternoon to retrive this cache the last one from this line of caches thanks for the cache line near our holiday spot
A nice spot to enjoy the view. We approached from above which made it tricky. TFTC
No Orcas for us today...shame they would look awesome on this bay. great spot for a cache. TFTC
Came to this the hard way. Just beautifull here on this lovely northland summer's day. TFTC
Cute back ground pic I couldn't orca-strate any reason for hubby to take a detour when this pod of caches were published, but on the long drive home today I needed a "comfort stop " 1st , so started from this end. Silly me, really was quite tired & needed a legstretch to wake up! so was not paying attention to tide & should have done in reverse order ah well, will return again another day.....
This was a quick easy find. Cute camo
Thanks
