I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.
Hi platnumonkeypaw
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.
Regards

A brief search as didn’t want to get muggled (a few people around today). Given the previous DNFs I suspect it might not be there anyway.
M24: a nice and easy find here, nowhere near a cliff, whew, glad for that. Log is signed, all is good. TFTC.
I had barely started reading the description out to them and Mr 11 found it. Forgot a pen so a picture will have to do
I made finding this cache SO much harder than it needed to be. Spent ages looking in the wrong places and second guessing my choice of tree.
Reached out to a PF and they helped me. How did I seriously miss it!?!?
Cap is broken, but cache is still functional.
Thanks!

On the way from Grafton to Devonport via Castor Bay (the things I do for geocaching...) and since I had missed this one last time I was here, I stopped by to find it today. Near-instant find at GZ, still well covered but I knew where to look. All good here, although took a bit to squish the contents back inside. Nice place for a cache too and the views from here would have been nice on a fine day. Thanks for placing it! (#1510)
A nice quick find. The ground was quite soggy to GZ. Thanks for placing your cache.
I'm in Auckland and I am exploring the region while I am based here. Today was a good day, I cruised around and about the North Shore, there is so much to see here! The weather was pretty good, and I had a great time.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Too easy! (But that's a good thing because we've been struggling lately and needed a few wins). Hardest part was staying afloat!
Still where the hint says it is and in pretty good condition heres what it looks like dont worry photo doesn't spoil where it is and i put it back in its place
Out today to grab a few caches and do the adventure lab. I had one stage of the lab to do, and this cache was also on my list.
Upon arriving at GZ I didn't really need to search. This one was right there. All in good condition. Thanks for the cache #1369

Found this with AliGle while working on the Adventure Lab here. A nice easy find at GZ. TFTC!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stroll around to collect this cache and the one further down. Loved reading about the history of the building nearby and how the tile roof is just for show as it has a concrete roof underneath. Thanks for the cache placement. TFTC

Out again with Mum (SethRaven) gathering this months mountain and a challenge for Christchurch. Replaced beg & left new log sheet. TFTC
Out on the North Shore with 2FLYTim, we are gathering finds for the next mountain and also working towards the Spelling Bee challenge in Chch . . . . . . takes a bit of planning but this is the third month of the Spelling Bee and so far so good. We replaced and bag and log sheet here today as the lid is a bit split. TFTC
Easy find, next to the Nepalese cultural exchange picnic. But i must warn you, this landmark picnic might not be there next time. Tftc
Back here at the 'other end' before we head off elsewhere. Grass still a little boggy after the recent rains but all good near GZ, checked a few options before re-checking the hinted one and spotting the cache. All good here and replaced as found after signing and noting a signature from someone else today too, busy place! T F T C platnumonkey.paw geophily
A trip out 'anywhere' was the trick for Saturday morning, with a few gardening and section duties eating up the remainder of the day. We headed initially to Campbells Bay but the tide wasn't that favorable so changed to Castor Bay, and the places of interest up there. Did the Ad Lab places as well as the Trads on offer up there and were back home for midday so not a big one, thanks to the COs for their caches.
In line with the NZ Geocache Reviewers guidance on what Covid Level 3, Part 1 looks like, geocaching IS permitted, but there are not to be any events or any new listings. It seems the NZ Covid website has failed to maintain pace with Lockdown level amendments and changes and is still lumping Geocaching in with Orienteering and other gathering type activities. Link from Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/NZGeocachingReviewers/ for further details.
Update - Level 3.2 due to be applied in Auckland region at 2359 09 Nov 21 will be allowing new listings to be published, still no Events though.

Easy to find as it was just lying out in the open. Very wet indeed due to cracked lid, so dried it as best we could, then covered it a bit more. Luckily picnicking Muggles were under the next tree!
Day 24 off my TA adventure...heading into the city today from Long bay hopefully grabbing a few along the way
Nice quick find tftc

Nice and easy find. The natural camo placed on it by the previous finder had blown away so I could spot it as soon as I got to GZ.
The lid is broken so it was tricky to get it to stay on once I had signed the log.

Out with NZ Travellers and NewlynFam for a walk from Long Bay to Devonport (although we only made it to Takapuna as we ran out of time with all the stopping along the way 
).
Found quickly thanks to a good hint...which we needed because there was a muggle sitting in the middle of the field facing the fence - who does that??!!
Thanks for the cache

In training for the Tongario Crossing and we deiced along with Keylev, Laval and NewlynFam we would walk the Long Bay to Takapuna coastal walk as practice and of course get some caches on the way.
Found this cache just sitting out in the opening. Luckily as there was a muggle sitting in the middle of the field basically looking at GZ.
Signed the log and replaced the cache where we believe it should have been and covered with natural camo.

Tftc nice hide, great area! We had fun walking along the park/beach and learning about some history in the area
Turns out I had been looking in the wrong place for a while, but I found it in the end. TFTC!
this one was a bit harder to find but we were able to write our names on the log book. good fun.
Super easy find! Great clue! Very muddy on foot and my bike wheels are dirty as now! TFTC! (I didnt sign log because of covid but I took a photo of the log)
I dnf'ed this one back in 2015 when it was missing. Today I was wondering around centennial park and made the detour to turn this blue dot into a yellow one. The sea looked pretty rough today, TFTC 
I'm down for the weekend to say happy birthday to my son so it's not really a caching expedition. I need two caches for a spell July challenge and this was near one of them.
We had a nice family day yesterday where there was a delicious lemon cake for afternoon tea. I'd already taken them to a cache yesterday so I thought I'd do these two with my daughter in law today before everyone got up.
We left home sometime after 7am and were back about 45 mins later with 30mins travel time. The toddler was still asleep when we got home so that was great. I had dnf'd this cache previously but it was so obvious today. A neat park. Thanks for the fun

Great park with fantastic views and trees,Cache well camouflaged and hidden,log was very wet so added a new water resistant log in a protected bag and replaced in the original container and position,
Thank you for your cache hide and history.
Well done

It was definitely the last tree, I was just climbing over the fence until I realised I didn't have to from previous logs. Ha! Easy find.
Driving home from castor bay after collecting a trade me purchase. Saw the sign for WW2 tunnels so stopped to explore and where there’s a park there’s a cache right?. TFTC!
Found Kennedy Point while walking our dog. Lovely park, great view, fun cache to find!
Fairly easy find, due to some slight exposure. Re hid a bit more, but otherwise OK. tftc
