The 5th in a raw to not find it... Has the cache disapeared??

Out trying to do our 50 in a day km apart, this was a DNF for us. Enjoyed a coffee and bite to eat nearby though.

Ignored the gps reading as it looked way off but found the hint. Looked around for ages amonst the trees near the hint but nothing there.

Hmm found the clue and then followed co-ords into the bush. Spent quite a while trying to find it but it eluded us this time

First time I have been passing since publication that the playground hasn't been in use. The clue and the coordinates are a long way apart, so searched quite extensively over a large area without luck.

Took a while ignore your gps and it's an easy find

Young cachers found this one first - again. The contents were spilled out and the lid was off. The log was still nice and dry as it was in a plastic bag. We gathered up the bits and bobs and resealed the lid, but it is temperamental, so we popped it into a bag too, just to be sure. We had a Fox stamp in the car, and as we are NgatiFox and this is a Flying Fox cache, we stamped the log book too

Quick find with danielle as we travelled between jobs. TFTC

Found with Lillybug56. We found the hint straight away, spent ages searching between there and coords, almost gave up then found it staring us in the face. TFTC

Enjoy our revisits to this area, love the artwork, coords had us about 10m out, but loved your hint, many thanks for the cache.

As DagonNZ said, forget the gps and work from the hint. Co-ords about 10m out. TFTC.

Came back here for a 2nd time, this time during daylight, saw the clue straight away and had cache in hand less than a minute later!

Cool little cache. Took me a while though. Tftc

Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

With Rebel 98 and urbangypsynz for a caching adventure to Bethells. This is our first for the day, down by the train station. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Have had this on my list for a while, my first cache with my new gps, harder to work the gps than retrieving the cache. Great park this, lovely mosaics. Tftc

Start of our caching adventure, and it was going to be a mixture of the old and the new GPS! With the help of the clue, approached GZ admiring the art work on the path. No grand children with us today, just the adults making there own fun! Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Second time back to this one and finally found it, nice hide

I'll try again daytime, I did this at night, couldn't see where clue might be.

Fresh of the train for my tramp this took a while, ignore the gps, go for the hint.

Lovely little park. Found coords to be about 11m out. Had success on the second go once having got the meaning of the hint - thanks Supernanny!
Many thx for bringing me here - very relaxing place

Took a bit, cords still a touch out, nice one

TFTC

Had no luck searching about for this. Found something matching the hint a bit further away than GZ but no cache. I eventually invoked the PAF option and found the hinted item I found was a little too alive. After a bit more searching the cache was eventually revealed. Thanks!

We were busy with other things when this cache was published, so had no chance of an FTF. Came this evening to make it count as a first week find at least.
The GPS had me heading down a bit further than expected from the hint item. The cache was quickly found when I worked my way back towards the path. TFTC.

I found this with my dad sorry about the very late log we are doing all my late logs today during the school holidays

S 36° 51.950 E 174° 34.450

Comments saying coordinates are a wee bit off, just fixing

Just too slow !!!!! Thanks for the hint.
I Should have gone on the Train. TFTC.

Out and about for the evening after work with one half of KiwifruitsNZ collecting some First Day Finds. Managed to find this one quickly due to the clue. No time to look about, as we had some more caches to collect for the night! TFTC

Hmm some slow loggers here I was 5th to find coords a wee bit off but clue close tftc

Nice quick one this morning...NOT.....managed to look everywhere except right spot...thanks U.S. for hint otherwise I would have been back later with chainsaw.
GPS a bit out, and combined with 'Major Senior Moment', added up to a wet and frustrating search.
Nice hide, hint and camo when found.

cheers V.

Well at least I found it on first day of publishing !
Working 24/7 in Ponsonby this week ... A bit gutting as I live only 2km away from this new cache and could have been there soon as, if I'd been home !!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely to see new local ones !!!!! Love the playground across the road for littlies !!!!!!!
My phone GPS took me to fence ,,,but worked it out from hint thanks ...

Also I wandered around the area before checking the hint. The cache was soon found after finding the object to the clue. TFTC

Buzzing around Auckland tonight with Vamber collecting up First Day Finds. This is my second visit to this lovely park and I do recall the local Station cafe as being very good. No time for a coffee break tonight off to Browns Bay for more FDFs !
