Used the track for Urban Rogaine shortcut. Cache still here although lidless. Surprisingly still dry and in good condition despite that.
Found it soaking wet so didnt sign log. But great hide. Also found a big eight legged creature that made me jump from my skin. 
Great day for a walk and a great location for a cache. Sadly the log is very wet, i managed to scratch BB on it without too much damage. Suggest a new container and log CO please. This one is a wrap. Mission accomplished TFTC!

Found it! Cool hide! Nice little walk. Unfortunately the cache was soaking wet. No lid and it was full of water. I had no replacement bags left sorry. Needs maintenance! Cache location also provides good shelter from a passing shower!
Got it once I cleared all the spider Web away. One of my 'on the way to work' cache finds. TFTC
I knew this little track existed but had never used it, so enjoyed finding this cache tucked away snugly in the "oddly shaped punga". TFTC
Found with sapphire_84, beautiful easy stroll. Took a painted stone, left a car boat. TFTC!
Number 10 on a day if caching round the mountain. Lovely and easy spot to finish the day. Very odd trunk
Churr for da cache tommy you skuxx!! I left you a tumeke feed of m'n'm's. Legendary cacher
Thanks so much for the trailhead co ords. Without these co ords I doubt if I would've attempted this cache.
I followed the gps which overshot GZ by ~10m so I was initially searching the wrong item. After finding nothing there I looked back at my gps and it said "Oi, it's back this way" so I followed the gps and with the hint I was able to spot the cache in an unusual location - well done on a neat hiding spot.

A lovely bush walk and a neat hide, glad we went the right way to Te Ara Tika, many thanks for placing a cache here.
After spending Christmas with family in Wellington, we made our way slowly North again, exploring New Plymouth before making the final stretch to Auckland, all the while collecting a few caches along the way. This morning was very drizzly, but we didn’t let that deter us to exploring some of the region. A surprisingly dry track to GZ this morning, quick find once there. TFTC
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Enjoyed the wee walk to GZ. Managed to locate the well placed cache quite easily. TFTC.
Found it, nice little spot - Brought back memories of climbing this Bush-track to get Home (I went to Frankley School a long time ago)
First Geocache found!
thanks Thomas - nice hiding place - just a wee stroll from home

A nice little track, although a bit muddy & wet today.
Lots of cobwebs around GZ, but we braved grabbing the cache anyway.
Took the TB & left a pet rock - a monkey. TFTC

Out and about in NP for the weekend with "The Rambling Duo". Nice spot to stroll to. Good hide. Heard some tui's as well. SL. TFTC. 
889 - I'm making the most of my last few hours here and enjoying being out with family. We initially took the wrong turn with this one because we hadn't read the description.. that sure helps lol.. then it was pretty straight forward. Things were a little slippery after all that rain and log was a little damp. Unfortunately the "insect" is now in the jar instead of in his right place. TFTC, another interesting spot I didn't know existed until I went looking for a cache!
Been up and down this track countless times taking kids to and from school... Would have never have known it was there... Easy find with hint... TNLN TFTC
Good hide. A nice walk in the shade.
Plenty of birdsong today, but didn't see any.
In Polar Bear
Out 2p Coin
TFTC, Thanks for the cache, that brings up the century for us yay 100 finds!!!

A nice little track .Some of our grand kids used this when they went to the school . Just as well I hav`nt got arachnophobia ,loved it SL TFTC
Yet another bit of New Plymouth we didn't know about, so thanks for the history lesson. A bit of teamwork for the retrieval because Knees was put off by the spider. Left a leather key tag, and signed the log. Thanks for the cache and a nice walk.
Found after a little hunting. Photo has nothing to with the placement of the cache.
found it after confusing tukapa and frankly, have walked past here many times and never noticed that track
Yet another lovely walkway with some really mature trees...finding the caches in this area has been fun. TFTC
Nice walk on a lovely day to cache. Never noticed the walkway every time we walked past. Tftc!
Lovely shady walk on a hot and sticky day, never been here before. Thanks for showing us yet another walkway.
