There has been some significant clean-up of the area and couldn't spot the hinted items. Perhaps the CO needs to check on this one?

March was a busy month and whenever it was possible I went for a cache
Had been to Auckland Whangarei, Hamilton, Russell and other places...
But only today I have time to log them - and I not remember the dates when I have picked up which cache

****
This one was close to the today’s event, great

Tftc

After a lovely lunch and wander around the gardens stopped in to find another cache and drop off a travel bug. Took a bit of bush bashing to find it but got there in the end. Left twigs the giraffe travel bug to continue on his journey.

A quick find after both lunch and a leisurely walk around the quarry afterwards. This is really one of the beautiful places around town. Unfortunately the other caches in the area were 'too hard' for either of us today so we had to pass on them. Thanks to Riser5 for the cache.

Yeah after a bit of a search around we found it. Grabbed the trackable tb7qfm9, taking it to Albany in Auckland nest week TFTC

Find for Mr hdwgb while I was searching on the wrong side of creek tftc

Found after deliberating how to get to GZ then quick find. Cache log was damp but signable. TFTC

Found it after a bit of hunting. Kept going past it - eventually came back down and looked next to the stream.

After a family walk around the Quarry with our Muggle friends this afternoon, we stopped to find this cache before heading home. Took us a bit longer to find than we expected, but we got there in the end. Thanks!

Out for the evening exercise jaunt and to try for some caches. Arrived at GZ just as a group of 15 muggle walkers turned up as well. Took ages for them to decide where they should proceed to next, so had to lurk for a while tlll the coast was clear.

Straight foward find with the good clues thx.

TFTC

A quick find today. Last time I was in my work clothes so hadnt come up this far. Tftc

Great cache easy find nice walk in quarry gardens

284 Nice spot

I found the cache after a nice walk at the Quarry Garden. I had 3 muggle with me.
They were very excited and want to do it themselves even now. TFTC

Water was running here today. Was hoping to find and log a trackable but none present. Tftc

Good find

Ducked off for a few minutes this afternoon while visiting the park. Good accurate coordinates made for a quick and easy find. Signed log, TFTC

Sorry! I logged my initial visit on my phone and couldn't log the trackable drop-off, then totally forgot about it until now. Big sorries.

Great lil hide found with skanara

Found with yomama76 not the obvious creek

"House" great gardens, I'll be back to find the other caches here. Fox gloves look pretty but take care when around them, very poisonous. Tftc.

Cool little spot !

Woot! Finally found a place to put this trackable... Went for a stroll around the gardens with mini-me, but other caches not pram - friendly. Nice to see the place for the first time since getting our wedding photos here six years ago. Cache was easy to find, but log a bit damp. Took two little pegs for hanging mini-me's drawings. Left a bunch of smiley stickers and TB

TFTC tnln. Sum dropping, getting cold

Found this after our first trip to the Quarry Gardens while in Whangarei for a holiday. Took the Red Croc Travelbug. We will be taking it to Rotorua (our next destination) in our school holiday travels.

Found new hide & dropped off red croc TB. No others present though the (cr)app shows 3. :/

Great hide added a few things, got one of your awesome CITO kits Riser5!, grabbed a trackable, forgot to bring one of mine to drop off. But a great cache with some great trade items

Walked in from the Arts Centre and out past this cache. Great walk on a Saturday afternoon.

Cool spot. Nice hide. Thanks for placing. Took a travel bug for a trip overseas later this week

After finding the Garden Maze cache we parked outside the gates and came over to find the Car Park cache. Thanks.

#483 Nice find after an enjoyable walk with BH &Co. in the gardens. Dropped off three TBs and took one. TFT(gateway)C.

Found it at last on our second visit. Lovely clean Cache. Did some trades. TFTC

No trouble with the cache.
Did a bit of CITO while there. Tftc.

Easy once I found the right creek ! Collected some broken bottles and other trash ....

Cool cache

Nice sized cache in a great location....and an easy find! I left a metal VAIO business card holder and a carabiner.
I have also dropped two TB's and an Earthcache Geocoin that have come over from ACT. Thanks for the cache Riser5.

Had to hunt a bit but cache was soon located. Nice
and dry and great swag including and useful cito
gear. TFTC ;D

Just noticed the cache info has changed. An easy find this time. Cool loot inside. A much nicer day for caching today than the rain we met last time, although the farmer in me says we need rain. TFTC

Very nice new cache...left my lil gurls McD's toy...the quarry is cool

Great area. Good quick find. TFTC

Thanks for replacing the cache... it was a quick find and so exciting to sign a fresh log. T4tc

Nice new container to find, thanks for replacing. TFTC

I was keen to get this one as part of my 35* challenge. It was pooring with rain so we had a bit of a search but not the kind of weather to persevere. Needed an umbrella?

Coordinates changed from:
S 35° 42.705 E 174° 18.547

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 10.1 feet or 3.1 meters.
Cache definitely missing. I have now replaced the cache with a new one in a new Spot.
Much larger cache now. Few trinkets inside.
Please ensure you re-hide well and sprinkle a little leaf litter on there too.

Had a look with funkymunkyzone before leaving the carpark. No dice.

No find for slieschke and I here.

Had a good look at side and back of wall, no luck.

Looked long and hard but without success. TFTC.

Had a solid look, no luck

Lucky I'm so clumsy

Dopey fiancé fell over this

Nice easy find. TFTC.

Original owner

Decided to do a bit of a day tour of Northland and grab some easy drive-bys in the process. Thanks.

Quarry Car Park (Northland) was transferred from Flowernz to user Riser5

Stopped by and left a replacement.

Gave it a reasonable search but no luck

Searched and searched but couldn't find it. Quite a few rocks had been pulled out of the cage at the back and some of the earth had been washed away so without digging a pulling more rocks out we couldn't see anything
Have to go back another day.

Found as part of my Post Mega northen road trip. Really enjoyed a part of the country I hadn't seen before. Thanks to all those who have placed cacahes to encourage us southerners to come your way!

Found

That is a nicely built wall.In the area today so grabbed this one.Nice log paper,the ink just flows on easily.TFTC.

What should have been an easy find was made tricky by a jumpy GPS. No problem when sorted it out. Tftc

Found with kiwiterm and Princess Luna. Nice walk in the quarry with the families. TFTC

On the countdown for the 31 days now, only 2 to go after finding and signing the log for this one. Dropped by here last week but there was a car at night parked right in front of GZ so left and came back tonight. nice quick find unfortunately some low life has used the spot as a public toilet.Honestly. Cache soon in hand with a good clean after!! TFTC

Nice to be able to nab one just off the main road to hockey which gave me my cache of the day. No problems in the dark either. TFTC!

Wonderful new extension to the car park. Nice quick find while passing close by thanks.

(620) Lovely spot for a cache. Nice quick park and find. TFTC

TFTC!

Had to get a souvenir for today, so headed out this evening. Stopped by for the quick grab while MM stayed in the car.

Was here last week on a quick errand but in too much of a hurry to grab the cache... urban caching at night not my usual M.O. but decided to stop by for a quick grab after spin-class & managed to find it without a torch. LOL, didn't know I was mere inches from the cache on previous visit! TFTC

Out and about in the area for the weekend. Another area for us to explore. We enjoyed a shortish walk around the gardens. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

A speedy find to fill another of my 366 cells. Nice workmanship here! Thanks

Easy find

Wow lot of work done here since my last visit
