Looks like this has gone missing. Was good while it lasted being a simple cache that the children had placed. Will not replace, as will let some other children in the future have the ability to place one around there if no has done so before hand.

TFTC. I am attempting to cache for 100 days in a row while also managing 250 caches per month total in my stats. So far I am at 34/100 and 246/250 for this month. Time will tell!!
Anyway back to the cache - a lovely location and well placed cache.
I could hardly complete the nearby cache and ignore a "Prickly Bush" strolled a little further and located said bush and cache.
I left an Auckland Mega pathtag for those who like them.
Thanks theroamingretriever for placing the cache.

5776. Rodney had completed all his tasks for the morning so left early for his Monday afternoon voluntary work so he could do a few caches in the Halswell area. Both GPS receivers had flat batteries but he decided to carry on anyway, relying on his memory of the Google map. He managed seven finds in 90 minutes, with no DNFs!!! This was the third one. No muggles around today. Thanks for the nice and easy cache. Keep up the good work! Iris and Rodney.

Followed Sallies today, no muggles for us as well. Quick find, TFTC

Had put this one off for a couple of weeks as 'Prickly Bush@ doesn't really excite me. Went to GZ and found easily and didn't get prickled so pretty rapt about that. TFTC.

The bush wasnt that prickly considering others that i have had intimate encounters with(gorse,matagouri).
Easy find.

A special find for us. We had a very pleasant walk in the sun, the GPS coordinates were very accurate and the little cache was very well presented. Must be party time with all those balloons. Thank you for the fun!!

I was biking past and noticed this one pop up on GPS, it was a quick drop bike and grab.
I will try and get back and get the others tomorrow.
Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Out and about on a drizzley evenings adventure with TW. After finding the nearby cache we continued on a wee walk to this one. A quick find and sign between the rain showers. Cheers. Caches in the area are mushrooming along with the houses. Cheers.

Team Gaters and having just come from a successful FTF mission were coming this way to mop up the batch of recently published caches on our side of town. We walked to this one after successfully finding the one up the way a bit. We had a lull in the rain and made it to GZ nice and dry. The cache was found quickly and we headed back to the truck to go and find the other recently published caches in the area. This area is mushrooming like crazy.
Thanks for the cache.

I was at work, and had just had a meeting till 4pm. Then while I was packing up my stuff and about to leave home, got caught up talking to one of the guys at work. Chatted for a bit, and then said our goodbyes and I left back to my desk.
Arrived to the phone flashing - 4.26PM it was. And new cache at 4.24PM?? I could do it!!
Quickly grabbed my bag and raced out to my car!!

Then started driving, attempting to avoid traffic - but I think I only made it worse for myself! I was freaking out that thewanglers or twosharpe would be closer and get this one!

Arrived eventually at the GZ, where I carried out a terrible park, and ditched the car running!!

Got to an empty GZ - had they all been and gone already?
Soon I spied the cache - that looked unfound - and much to my luck and surprise, it was!! Oh yeah!!!

FTF!!! FTF!!! FTF!!! SmileSmileSmile YUSSS Hehe.

And consec caching day # 320 too!

TFTC!! Smile
