No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Elbow-deep in spiderweb and pine needles, but no cache. Hasn't been found for 3 months.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

DNF with harisree
Checked all the trees around GZ, the one closest to it even had a possible hiding spot but we could not locate the cache anywhere.

we believe we searched in all possible trees here around, but no luck tonight.

Nebulenz and I left this cache till last as there were a number of muggles on the playground. We did a quick recce of GZ and then waited for some of the muggles to clear off. When the coast was (relatively) clear I went in and extracted the cache. TFTC

Out with Hughie_ for some cachin' while the Mrs and little one were resting.

Me and Hughie_ worked out which tree it was based on carpark lines. After some muggles disappeared Hughie picked up the cache (no spiders harmed).

Thanks for the cache! :)

Much better than the other side of the park

Took a while to find the right tree.

TFTC Visiting from South Africa

Yay found it

Our final few caches for the day, we came here to help Anastriel with a find she had missed before. She already had this one so she left it to us. The GPS was bang on and I had the cache in hand very quickly. The cache is in good condition. TFTC #451

Out caching with Anastrial, Lycurgon and Small Pooka, TFTC!

A quick easy find. TFTC.

I was doing some painting so while I waited for the sealer coat to dry I popped out to pick up some caches.
No one around today so I didn't have to use stealth and got this one easily.

There were heaps of muggles out and about today, so we had to set a lookout and make a mad dash to find (and then return) the cache, only when we had the All Clear. (Not sure what they all made of this stange person lurking about with one yellow latex glove on!). Thank ftc.

Found fast as

Nice easy find while kids where playing on the swings.

Practical parked on the gz for quick pick up

Heading out west again today grabbing a couple of caches for our daily streak whilst dodging the rain showers. Cache found quickly in 1st place I looked (unlike my next find).

Tftc

Nice cache thanks!

I don't like putting my hands into place where I cant see what's in them but I did and there it was. TFTC

Nice little cache and hide. Tftc

Quick find. TFTC

cache was hidden quite well on this one

Tftc first place I looked.

ciao sono il ragazzo

Our first find nice easy spot.

Put my hand through a pile of spider webs, but the main thing, was that I found the cache ha ha. tftc

Easy spot!

Not a bad spot! Almost missed it before checking round again

Our first find So excited !!

A quick find thanks.

Up in Auckland for a birthday party, and spent my downtime caching. So many people, cars and humidity.

Thanks for the hide.

Got it

found with my friend. ps, only at head height if you are a giant

This was a bit out of reach for one of us so a leg up was in order. Quite a popular little park.

Found it on my second attempt, first time there were far too many people around and I abandoned my efforts after not-so-tactfully trying to explain myself to a young kid who was curious as to what I was doing. Great spot, thanks!

Nice easy find on a clear evening.
Lots of Kids Looking at us,then after we put it back they were looking around the tree.

A busy park at 8.30pm but it was such a nice evening. Found the cache and retrieved it without too much attention.

Yay

We found a lion!

I found it

First timer. Awesome stuff! On to the next

I've just moved to the area and so I am starting my year by finding nearby caches, trying to increase my longest streak. I took my geo-doggy with my for a nice walk in the park.
Got to GZ, and saw where I thought the cache might be. But I am afraid of bugs and was hesitant to reach in with my bare hands, even though I didn't see any bugs. I took a stick and poked around some, thinking if the cache was there I would feel it but nothing.
Decided that as I wanted my dog to get more of a walk anyway I would check out the other nearby cache, but had no luck there. Was getting bitten by mosquitoes and the light was fading so I figured I should move on, as I am trying to find a cache a day. Once last look on my way back and I told myself not to be such a wuss and to just reach in. Sure enough the cache was right there and there were no bugs. Sometimes I just make it more difficult for myself than it needs to be! TFTC.

It was really cool that it was in the park near my house. It was fun activity to do with my siblings. Thank you for setting this up

A great home for a cache. Tftc

Too easy make it harder . Skrila. Inspk . 3zup baby

Easy find but hard to return family decided to have a picnic at gz. Back safe and soubd now. Tftc

Today we were embarking on finding 50 in a day km apart for a challenge. The day started well, but soon became apparent that our planning wasn't going to make the day easy. We ploughed on but after 7hrs and only 25 finds, we decided to abandon our efforts for another day, with a better plan. This was a nice 17th find for the day. Very creative hide, and park empty today. SL. TFTC.

Nearing going home time, decided on our visit to Zita Maria Park and find the caches there. Nice park.

Agazo, UncleSamNZ and I had finished the puppy mission today and thought we would find some more on the way home.

As UncleSam had already found this one he held back whilst Agazo and I went searching. Unfortunately I was too vertically challenged but Agazo had no issues.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Used my tactile searching engine to find this one. TFTC.

Cache container replaced with new hytech anti rust cache (plastic pill bottle wrapped in black tape).

After finding a new cache nearby saw and remembered about this set of three caches so made my way over. A quick and easy find. Container is rusting up although I did manage to unscrew and screw it back up without much of a problem. Thanks!

Found it on my lunchbreak, tried CRC after reading the other logs... but not even crc will get it open definitely rusted shut! Thanks for the cache. This was my first cache. Got the bug now!

Found with dad

Found this one a while ago but didnt have a pen. Back today with a pen to find its rusted shut. Bugga! Even broke the pen using it to try and loosen it.

I decided to find a few more caches on my way home after finally finishing the power trail of puppies. This presented some very convenient parking that I took full advantage off. Cache was quickly found in the second place I checked. Unfortunately, the tin has rusted shut and I couldn't open it by hand. I applied some tools to the problem but soon realised that this was likely to destroy the container. I figure under the circumstances it is fine to claim the find without signing the log as I would have ruined the container using the can opener on my TOOT to get in. Needs some CO attention I suggest. Cheers for the cache placement!

Unless I am sorely mistaken, tin has rusted shut.

Found originally as part of Rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

This one was the first on our journey of enlightenment, we sensed the force was strong in that one, and the cache was found. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

First time visit to this part of the west. Decided we should do some geocaching after lunch. So on full tummies we made our way to GZ. Celebrated our find, and signed the log. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Found it. TFTC. Nice little park.

Nice park, good hiding place. TFTC.

A quick find with kiwitrecker1 and the kids. TFTC!

Nice to see that head height was about right for this geocacher, came with NgatiFox and had a hunt for all 3 in this park, took longer to get the lid off than to find which can't be said for all in Zita Maria!! TyFTC union sux

Muggles galore taking part in day off in the park activities - the rain saw the nearest ones off, so we got it and signed it with none of them the wiser - lovely cache and nice and dry log book )

Out for a few quick caches today and found myself headed for this park. Started with this one and it was the quickest of the three with it being in the logical place and my height being perfect for the retrieval.

Not so quick on the next one... TFTC

Quick cache and dash with Lillybug56 while visiting her for afternoon tea.

Day 3 of a trip finding geocaches while heading north.

Another good find. SL TFTC

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Today was a dot day in the calendar so I decided to drive out to these nearby caches to fill in the hole. A quick easy find this one, TFTC!

First time out West for caching.

Nice easy find. TFTC

No probs with this one-tftc

A return trip was required when muggles were playing near GZ, quickly signed and rehid just as another family turned up. Will have to leave the nearby cache for another visit, TFTC.

I had some spare hours today to do more cache rambling in Auckland, mostly out west. No one near GZ so I was able to find the cache quickly in the first spot I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

Easy find... TFTC

Not many muggles about today yet.

Cheers for the cache.

Park was deserted this afternoon so able to do a quick park and grab. TFTC

Nice quick find still chasing the mozzies away from last cache tftc

A nice quick easy find. After two dnf's just up the road I was beginning to wonder if it was time to take up another hobby. TFTC.

Lots of people around but managed to find the cache quickly.

Lovely afternoon to do some caching.
Quick easy find, and managed to find it without the family of muggles having a picnic nearby noticing.
TFTC

Only one we found in the park today, GPS died so it was time to head off to Waimaukau and pick up the daughter of the team. Nice hide and a good excuse to come back. TFTC

Just as well I had a recheck here as we could have missed it. TFTC.

No dramas here

TFTC

Found while out with Ric doing these new local ones ! I looked in right place but only found a drink can in there at at first ,,,,luckily Ric looked after I did and found it !

Parked right next to it. Made the find and then had a quick chat to a local dog-walker who tells me that it was his dogs 3rd birthday and he wanted to get home to the big bone. The dog did, not the owner. Thanks

A nice quick one this morning after work...cheers V.

Came to Zita Maria pk to bag the new caches here. Fortunately one car in carpark was empty. 2 people in the playground. Nice hide, tftc

Quick find, early enough to have the park to myself.

Ha ha ha - I quite literally drove past here 3 days ago thinking it would be ideal for a cache 2tf behind kiwicouple - TFTC

We visited Zita Maria Park and found the 'Mosquito' cache, but did not sign the log as Phasevisitor had already got FTF (we'll use that one to keep our caching streak going). As we drove up the road another alert went off - for another cache in Zita Maria Park. At that point we were less than 200m away and as we parked the car the phone said we were only 1m away. The cache was quickly in hand and we were not at all surprised to be First To Find. Thanks!
