As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

To many DNF's for such an easy cache. Needs archiving.

Lots of dnfs, might need replacing?

Boohoo. DNF. Sounds like it's no longer here... used to kick acorns down the bridge as a kid.

Not there. Stink. Broken sistema parts nearby...

Needs maintenance or archiving, not been found for a long stretch.

Have found this one before but did not find today - part of a sistema container where I expected it to be

Not there..

Was the cache a small sistema container perhaps? Cause there's evidence of it's bits along the fenceline.

Unable to find

No luck for us with this one either.

Couldn't find. Think it may have been replaced

No find for us here - think this one is now gone.

Didn't seem to be anywhere in sight today

Looking at previous logs this should have been an easy find......... Maybe gone

Found with jaywalknz89

Easy found, tried to camo it a bit more but the wind will soon do away our efforts. Found with Ashud

Easy

Found whilst out with keylev and laval.

Thanks for the cache.

Found whilst out with keylev and cragger.

Thanks for the cache.

Cache container is broken and will not seal properly (and is not really the best size for this location)

Was out with Keylev and her 2 little cachers trying to knock off a few in the North Shore.

This one was found VERY quickly as it is in plan site......which is just what we needed after doing G2's caches and lots of DNF's.

Extremely quick find as it was sitting there in plain sight. I'm amazed this has not been muggled to be honest. Unfortunately the container is missing one of the clips so its a little damp inside.

Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Greetings from Pennsylvania in the US. Heading for an afternoon walk after our meetings were over. Thanks for the fun!

Easy first find for all our girls - very exciting for them all

Out for a day's walking around Devo with merlot58. Although beginning to be very hungry and looking forward to getting down to the village for lunch, we decided we'd detour out of our way to pick this one up. So we were very pleased that it was an easy find. How odd that although having been by here many times over the years I'd never noticed that this structure is a bridge...

Ellex2 and I decided to do a walk around Stanley Point and Devonport and pick up a few caches on the way.
We were heading for lunch in Devonport and diverted a bit to pick this one up. Turns out this is find #500 for me and was a very quick find as it was not hidden that well. TFTC

second attempt at this one. Cache very exposed almost falling out, tried to give it a bit of cover. TFTC

Not a lot to hold this up as the tree grows

Love the rock. Did not bring tweezers and could not get the log paper out . 2nd find in NZ (from au)

Great spot

Geocache is amazing! Fun find.

Found this no problem today while doing Stanley Point caches ! Interesting about the bridge ....

Had to keep an eye above but picked the right gap and soon had it signed. TFTC.

Found it

Nice and easy find on a Sunday arvo. Thanks!

Cool location - thanks for the cache!

Found it. First one!

My first one

My first find

We found it

Thanks for hiding this cache.

Found this together with Inspektor Higgins. Great place for a cache!

Whoo first one!

Not hidden at all, just placed next to tree. I'll try to hide in specified location and a little better!

make sure you bring shoes

Happy Boys! This was our first one ever!

Out and about filling in a few more smilies on the map around Devonport. No troubles here today, all quiet to make a quick find. SL. TFTC.

Now that was fiddly to put back... unsure how likely it is to stay in place in windy weather like this, had already been made visible by the elements. TFTC

Looked but no luck

Don't you just hate it when the first cache of the day ends up being a DNF.[xx(]

The last cacher didn't find it and nor could we. Is this one still there?

Couldn't find after 40 mins searching. Perhaps it has gone?

Hint very helpful, nice easy find

Pulled up almost on GZ, alighted from the vehicle and the geowife picked the correct tree, found quickly this themed container.

Out for the morning in the Devonport area with the parents so decided to pick up a few caches after brunch.

A quick find.

Quick find, dodging showers. Thanks.

A nice quick find while in the area. TFTC.

Easy find, fully exposed though, not now
Thanks, all good

Nice simple find, the 4th of the day, going around the Devonport green caches. Last one of the day, I think!

Watch out for trolls!

Easy find.
Quickly signed and returned before moving onto next one

7.45am - Glad it was Sunday morning I found this one otherwise I would have looked very suspect as this is a very high muggle area. SLTFTC

Nice easy find.Could see it poking out-over a period of time the cache will fall out of position and get muggled.

Quick find. Tftc

Thanks! Had to look hard. But fun!!

Lady Thrips spotted the container after I over looked it a couple of times. Amazing to think that this bridge crossed the sea! TFTC!

We learned from our mistake the previous day in trying to find a parking spot in this busy city. This time we parked our camper in a motor parked and jumped on a bus to the city. From there we caught the ferry to Devonport and spent the whole day in the lovely city, exploring it by foot.

A big thank you to all the geocache owners for being our “tour guides” in New Zealand while we are on our short holiday visit to this extraordinarily beautiful country! We traveled the North Island in our little camper van and we came across minimal damaged caches and we only had very few DNF’s.

"Groete" all the way from South Africa!

Realised my numbers didn't tally with geocaching.com and have found some missing smilies, so catching up on the logging.
In the area for a Softball Tournament, but as I am too broken now to be able to play, I thought I'd cache in between hubby's games. His team were helping to set up, so I dropped him of as the sun came up and headed off - how many caches could I get before his first game at 9.00.
1st on the list, a good start with a quick find. TFTC

Fantastic find lovely hiding place.

Today we walked through the Auckland very nice suburb Devonport.
This cache was our way. Thank you for bringing us here.
Greetings from Germany
and TFTC

Final stop of the day, enjoy the local info... TFTC

Out and about grabbing some caches to help with the requirements towards our full geo - license. A quick grab at GZ. TFTC!

Cute cache. Easy find.

A lovely walk after dinner with family. Kids were really interested in the history. Thanks

Cool spot. Searched high and low and found it. Tftc
