I do believe this cache has gone, and the CO does not appear to have been active for over a year, so perhaps it should be archived.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
It’s either really well hidden or it’s not there. Had a search everywhere left of the seat and then right then in the tree. No luck.
First geocache in Wellington, what an awesome camo! Had to be discreet and wait when putting it back, a lot of muggles and cars around
It is our family tradition to go to my mother's place for dinner on Sunday evening. My kids really enjoy going to visit her. We decided to stop here on the way home and have a look for this cache. It took us a while but we found it in the end. I suspect it would have been easier in the daylight.
The cache is in good condition. A little damp, but nothing serious.
Thank you

I came here to evaluate the scene and see what kind of search might be required. Normal bus stop caches can be found on a busy road without much drama or suspicion but this looks more difficult. Not sure how or when to attempt this properly.
Have tried for this several times. Needed a major hint on this one. Found just after a bus came thru. Thought I would have to wait a while to replace but a muggle who looked like they were going to catch a bus wandered off so replace while clear. TFTC
Finally found it! This time my second attempt and I brought Schankwirt with me to try find it. It was a very frustrating cache as the hint doesn't really help at all haha! I found it by pretending to tie up my laces when some muggles came to catch the bus
Nice. Old trick in the world, still works well. Took me a while to get to this log. I rewarded myself with a marzipan roll from bakery on the corner. Great cash. TFTC
Hmmmm today is not our best day! Had to use the hint but then soon had cache in hand! All dry and secure. Tftc
#1277. Well after a nearby DNF tonight, thought I would sit down and grab this D1 cache. What, where is it? Lots of feeling and then looking with the torch in the obvious spots. Nothing. So tried another tactic and it was the right idea but just poorly executed. So back to the bleachers I went to read the description again and a few logs. Oh I see. Not really a D1 cache but something a bit trickier. So off I went again and this time did a more thorough search in the dark and soon had the container in hand. Very sneaky. A daylight search might have helped here but anyway nice to sign the logbook which was still dry. Put the cache back in its hiding spot with no one watching. Only had one bus pull up and a few muggles park across the road to contend with luckily. Be harder to avoid the muggles by day at this spot. Thanks for the cache.
mmm this is intriguing 4 of us searched for it with no luck. A well hidden d1 cache!
Flagged this one due to resident muggles and it was too long to wait for the next bus.
Pretty quick find today with the whole Orsome4some team plus the geograndma acting as decoy. And she thought we were taking her out for a mothers day treat. Nice hide- much better in daylight. TFTC.
looked for this one before but couldn't find it went back this time and had it in hand in a few seconds funny how you need to rid your mind of the obvious before every cache and not go in with pre conceived ideas or you come up empty. tftc
Came along after work and had a look. Glad to find it. So much easier when looking in daylight. TFTC
Found with Tregear P on Good Friday morning. Took a little longer than it should of, but had seen one of these before so recognised it immediately after widening the search.
TFTC.
TFTC.
Saw it pretty quickly when looking to the left and bus stop a good place to sit and log without attracting too much attention due to public holiday timetable
Took my brother-in-law along and successfully hooked him on caching. Great hide!
I knew where it was but you can't see it from sitting at the bus stop so I finally found it after a little thinking what way was left, lol. Tftc
Hey guys, the geocache is there, it's still in the exact position as it was when it put it there, you cannot expect this geocache to be a standard bus stop cache. GOOD LUCK!
Three of us had a reasonable look around for this but didn't find it. Bother, but TFTC nonetheless
its obvious where it should be - has been muggled we suspect please check.
#1177 I have driven past this one a lot lately but it's always been at a bad time. Today was quiet so I made the grab. Nice and quick and then on the road again. TFTC!
Day 79 of my attempt at 100 consecutive days of finding caches. A nice quick find - makes this my 5th attempt at finding this cache. Thanks for replacing it
Was a bit sceptical after seeing the DNFs but we were just across the road so may as well have a look. Hint was helpful, quick easy find thanks!
Yet another failed attempt to find this one, even after a massive hint from a fellow cacher - about the fourth try in as many weeks. I don't think this one is there anymore.
Attempted on a geocaching trip with my three nephews. Great way to get them out of the house and also get some stealth exercise. We hunted for this one for a while with no luck. The hint and several of the logs suggest we were looking in the right place. Muggled perhaps? Thanks anyway.
Sorry to log a DNF we run out of time on this one today we will be back sametime log by gsak
Find #1945. Another day on the bike, cleaning up caches in the Hutt Valley. Busy on this road so had to dash down between cars. SL TFTC
I took the hint too literally, and then used my eyes and brain, after which this was a quick find to maintain the caching streak. TFTC.
Nice cache - earns a favourite simply because it is cool.
Easy find - thanks for this one.
Easy find - thanks for this one.
Disabling this geocache as it appears to have gone missing I will replace with a new cache in the next few days.
Replaced quickly - ready to go in a different and new container, hopefully this one will blend into the environment more
Easy, but very busy

Found it - had to use some sly moves to sit at the end of the bus stop as Scott pretended to do up his shoe - waited for muggles to catch the bus - then it was ours to sign TFTC - log book damp
This was tricky, a lot of traffic and people nearby just had to wait our time. Thanks
Nice hide in a good location, fairly quiet here today luckily.

Didn't realise we had previously missed logging this one. A nice straightforward find with unclesam. TFTC
Timed my arrival quite well as the flyer was just leaving. Left me with GZ to myself for enough time to search, sign and return. TFTC Quick and easy on a foul weather day.
Had to come back to this one as there were a few muggles hanging around. On my way back the GZ was clear. Found it in the first placed I looked.

Quick find on a Saturday afternoon. Nobody waiting for a bus, not many people out and about and therefore a quick grab. TFTC
#7327. I'd sussed out the hide a wee while back (in case I needed it for a dot-dot day). Turned out I didn't need to save it for a dot dot day. so found it today while out for a bike road. The cache seemed to have a more substantial covering object that last time round. TFTC.
That woman was back yesterday morning so I tried a bit later today. Really it's mad to be doing this cache during morning rush hour. No too bad on the retrieve but putting it back well covered is a bit tricky. Umm - just tying my shoelaces I have really long shoes? TFTC.
Arrived at GZ this morning, but there was a woman waiting at the bus stop, so couldn't even attempt to search. Tried again late afternoon, and the coast was clear. Cache was easy to spot but hard to retrieve quickly but hope I achieved it unobserved. Couldn't find the pencil in the container, my caching bag (with pens) was in the wash and the handbag with me didn't contain one single pen. Bugger. In the end, ripped a piece of shopping list (made from a Dilmah tea carton) and placed it into the cache as my "signature". Will try to get back with a pen to sign properly.
A busy spot, the only difficulty was the muggle factor. TFTC.

Found by Redants while passing, after a visit to A & M to check if he had broken his arm after falling off his uni-cycle. TFTC.
Down in Wellington for boxhill's 'Drive By Event' so teamed up with tmann421 to do some caching. This was a quick find for us.
Thanks for the cache galaxydreaming
