Spent a fair amount of time searching the likely and unlikely locations, nothing found
Had a good look for this one and couldn't find it. Perhaps the CO needs to check on this one?
There is currently long-term construction around the area of the cache, which has been going on for weeks. Didn't find the cache but couldn't access all of the area.
Easy find because of clear clues. Nice quick grab & sign in a sunny day and surprisingly quiet and not so many muggles around. TFTC
Had a bit of time to wait for the train so had a go at this one.
A previous log seems to indicate I was searching in the right place.
Hasn't been found for a while so will wait and see if it's still there before trying again.

Log wasn't home today so left a message. As others have said it kind of had to be hidden there.
Ah got it this time. A nasty wee rail, looks like its ownly held together by the paint on it, No log book present and I didn't have a suitable spare with me. TFTC
It took me a few minutes to track down this cache's whereabouts. There were few people about this morning so I didn't really have any muggle concerns.
Found on our way to the Science and Space Festival. Quick and easy find once we widened the search. Thanks for the cache. Did with a Muggle and Mycro Man
Took us a wee while but it was always going to be where it was.....wasn't it? Tftc
A nice easy find for my last one in Tawa today. There's a whole lot more to do so I'll be back. TFTC
A quick find. I remember when this was once a great place to shop. Thanks for the cache.
Very much out in the open in a busy area lucky didn't take long to find ... Spiders eek yuck. Tftc
HI, TFTC! This look us longer than needed even though 6yr old geokid said "I bet it's on the ...... (correct location" as we arrived. GPS was a bit off for us.
Nice to get a quick find on way home from the train station. Bit of stealth required as curtains with Muggler close by.
Took a moment to locate the right spot. Bit too public a setting for my liking. Fortunately there were very few muggles around but you never know what neighbours were watching through their net curtains! #1006. TFTC.
I used to regularly park at the train station near here, and I remember it gradually declining into a ghost town. Nice to see it coming back into use. TFTC.
#162. It's good to see this area coming to life again. This one is quite close to home so I really should have got it before now. Good to have got it before the year was out and claimed my souvenir. TFTC.
Obviously Christmas Day is the time to go caching.... no muggles and bonus of working off Christmas dinner and family bonding! TFTC DanielHurri
Easy find with Theosaurus. Took it back to the car to fill in the log as might otherwise have been muggled by people going to Big Air. TFTC
6999. Pouring with rain today so decided to drive to Porirua for lunch. Did this one on the way back to Johnsonville. A very quick and easy cache. Very sad to see this area virtually unused and deserted. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.
Looked in the wrong place, found something pretty surprising. But I found the cache in the end
A quick find while in the area this afternoon. All in good condition. Signed log, TFTC
Eventually found, after searching each part. Took a while but got there in the end. TFTC
5th find for today out with BigcheeseNZ, finally found after some stealthy searching due to 4 elderley muggles having Sunday chat just down the road , TFTC
Looks like they are trying to make a 'centre'. Of shops? Here. The hide was nicely hidden where one expected. And so it was retrieved , signed and replaced without too may muggles passing this morning.
Thank you for the cache.
Thank you for the cache.
Nice easy find today while in the area. I remember coming here to do some Christmas shopping back when the kids were small. Great to see that its getting back up and running again. SLTFTC
After grabbing a couple of nearby challenge caches, I then spent some time picking up a few caches around the Tawa area. Soon had the cache in hand after a systematic search! TFTC!
We think we found it but it only contained a spoon and lots of things lying outside it.
Just popped out for a walk this afternoon and grabbed a cache. Straight forward find today. I was the second visitor for today with Bruzie signing before me. Thanks for the cache.
I can't believe that I'd forgotten this one loitering in Deepest, darkest Tawa.....so Today Melon and i rectified that omission on the way to his swimming lesson. TFTC.
#173. Another find with Mrs Coopsnz. A chance hand on the exact spot meant an easy find before before muggles arrived. Hopefully we were quick enough to avoid attention from the fitness group. TFTC
Felt like a walk after tea so wandered about enjoying the mild evening. Quick find. Attraction between cache and its hiding structure not great, felt like I had to sort of jam it in so it won't fall off. Could do with a good boost in its powers. TFTC
