Plenty of bush to comb over with a weak GPS signal, however finally spotted, in fact just appeared in front of us almost. Cheers

Came out here today with eimajesordaman and MorganEd, after eimajesordaman did a bit of bush-whacking we had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache.

Beautiful day out at the reserve today, here with teamrosenz and CO MorganEd to check on the 3 caches out here. Found with no help from ME. Cache still in good dry condition.

Had a look today but didn't manage to find it. Nice place for a walk regardless!

I spent ages looking for this yesterday, with the gps bouncing around it could have been anywhere.
Once back at the campervan, I got coverage to identify what a fuschia tree looked like, and coupled with some previous logs, knew where the hiding place should be.
However, another more thorough look at that spot today still produced nothing

As we had decided to stay here another night, I decided to have another walk around the bush. But I couldn't resist having a third crack at this one, thinking I'd been too focused on that one tree, and maybe there were other tree's of this type in the immediate area. There were, but I inevitably ended up back at the same one.
But I tried yet another tack, and this time I couldn't believe I'd actually spotted it.
I had to go back to the campervan to get a pen, so grab a tool as I vaguely remember reading someone had trouble opening it, but it wasn't needed.
Do glad to avenge at least one of the dnfs in this bush.
Thanks for the challenging cache

Had a good look up and down, this way and that.

Fairly sure we had identified the right spot where Miss Muffet might have been but seems like she may have been fumigated or met her fate some other way.

Staying in Hastings this month for work. Today was free to cache and visit some old haunts. We did live here 20 years ago, when we explored many swimming holes and native bush walks. Will have to return for this one as the light was failing under the trees and I really had no idea where to look.

OMG it's missing it's legs! Wouldn't want to mess with whatever ate them.

Read the DNF and was worried that it might have been muggled again before we got here. And read the logs which mentioned there not being a picture of a tree to use as per the hint. But when we arrived close to GZ we used a bit of logic and looked for a tree that stood out.
Also used a previous log and spotted the item of interest which turned out to be one of GeohoundandI' s favourite things. She looked up and saw the cache
We couldn't get the log out but she took a picture of it.

this one took us a while to find so we had to look through some previous logs until a turned around and the cache was right in front of me. cache has seen better days and appears something may have mistaken it for the real thing and had a nibble at it. TFTC

No images to be seen (either the background or related web page) so that obviously makes things more difficult, I felt I gave it a good go but ultimately had to admit defeat.

I found this cache together with my partner Pityulino during our holiday in New Zealand. On this day we headed for a drive and hike in the Mohi Bush and on the Elsthorpe Scenic Reserves. We were also visiting the hill with the longest name and searched for geocaches on our trip. We found a total of 6 caches during the day. This one was the third of them. We had to search for this for quite some time. We almost gave up, when Pityulino spotted an interesting object, which he wanted to investigate closer. It was not the cache, but as he turned around he saw something extraordinary. It turned out to be the guardian of the cache. TFTC!

While staying in Napier I decided to go for a drive southwards to see some out-of-the-way sights. A nice walk in the Mohi Bush reserve.

The background image doesn't work anymore.

Cheers for the cache.

It took us quite a while to find this fun little cache, which gets a favourite from us. We couldn't see the background picture referred to in the hint, but the coordinates were fairly good. TFTC

Took a few minutes of searching, nice to be the first finder in a couple of years. Very creative, have seen a few different variations during my time caching. Great day spent with many from the Geocaching Hawkes Bay group.

Another cool cache at Mohi Bush. here with a group of geocachers from Hawkes Bay.
Found by my 11year old assistant, and it was his first find. Great to see.
I imagine this may have a few DNFs in the future, a tricky hide if your not in a group of 20 looking!

Tricky find with the HB cachers today. Lucky we had some eagle eyed kids to spot this one. TFTC Smile

Cool cache. My Miss Muffet loved finding this creative one! Highly recommend these caches at Mohi Bush. Beautiful walk for kids and adults with fun caches to find along the way. A must do for all those geocachers in Hawke's Bay! We visited on a beautiful Easter Monday with a large group of local cachers! An awesome day. Thank you so much!
 
Didn't find, one tied daughter, one hungry, will come back another day

I have to agree with the previous finder, Miss Muffet was long gone. Nice idea and the first I've seen exactly like this. TFTF (thanks for the fright)!!!
