As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Since this cache hasn't been found since last July and the hider hasn't responded to messages it might be time to call it a day on this one. The hider hasn't cached since 2014 so seems likely has moved on to other things.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

No longer there

Definitely not there. High muggle zone.

This was my first geocaching find - went to have a look in on it today "for old time's sake" but alas it was not at home - good chance it is either missing or taken a wander sorry.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck today; seemed to be in the right area but also checked most of the surrounding area as well.

DNF. Found the 3 trunk tree. But alas, no joy.

DNF. 3 trunks, 0 cache.

Had a good look around but no luck for us today

Found it with my 6yo

No harsh feelings because posted a few years ago, but I think they may have built a house where you were directing us. Don't try find this one guys.

Found it, kids happy

In the area today with a little spare time so hunted down this likely cache as a quick time filler....
Arrived at GZ and was spoiled for choice with hide options and managed to find in the last place I looked....


The 2 x TB's logged as being in this cache are not in the cache...but I did however retrieve another TB that was not listed in the cache....am about to investigate where it is supposed to be...

TFTC.

Cool

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

Found it! Easy find

Shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Not in pokey trees! Park a bit grubby didn't enjoy so much. Tftc.

Found it

It's gone

Yay!

Found this one tonight with some newbie friends. This was the third and final cache we found in our adventure around the neighbourhood and it took the longest time to find. Initially I looked in the wrong place but eventually my friends found it.

The log was damp and there is no ziplock bag in the cache which would be helpful in protecting the logbook. Signed the log with my caching name and the name my friends choose of Pippa's Team.

Thanks for the cache.

TFTC:)

TFTC. Bit wet, so drained water out and made sure lid locked properly.

Looked like a lot of activity going on nearby with food stalls. We avoided the loose crowd of people and headed to GZ. The area is somewhat over looked by private residence so after making sure no one was nearby or watching we set about locating the cache. Quickly found and we made our escape. Only to be confronted by the guy in the Countdown delivery truck. Again!!!!! Second time today at another cache location. We were suspicious of his following us but it was pure coincidence.

Nice one Victoria Cartwright, I had some time to kill after work this afternoon, and I was in the area sort of so checked out a few around here. A little walk into this garden type area and after a small search I spied the 3 trunks then the cache! Thank you.

GPS bounced around but after I did a couple of laps I easily spotted it. Lots of tradeables in there, as well as a freshly added window break tool that I found at GZ. Who knows, might be just what the next geocacher wanted? Haha. Thanks for the hide!

Hongkonger come to New Zealand
Easy to find and beautiful view.

A school holiday Adventure. Thx!

Found it

Quick stop and grab
Got a strange look from some people selling stuff in the school carpark as I went off the track behind the bushes but once back there was out of sight.
Quick sign and replace
TFTC

Thanks!

Quick find in between passing showers while in Auckland for an evening. *TFTC Victoria.Cartwright, #8849*

Found it fairly easy on the way to school. Our first one!

My last stop on the way home from work. As I got to GZ I found a neighborhood cat who watched me warily while I searched. Turned out I was in the wrong spot and moved a few meters down the path and found it quickly. TFTC! #932

Found it after a bit of looking says it has 3 bugs but has none so that was a disappointment

Found

A short walk, and quick find after having dinner at the local Dumpling shop on Dominion Road. TFTC

Found it

Detoured here on my way to work and after wasting too much time searching the wrong area, finally found it hidden as per the hint but uncovered. Signed the log and gave it some more camouflage. Although there are four TB's listed as being here, there were none. TFTC and this is find #1010

Found along with Ilujal and a friendly cat!
Tftc
I took a geocoin

TFTC

I was in the area so took a slight detour to grab this cache. A nice quick find thanks to the hint, dropped off TB.

After reading hint it was an easy find, TFTC

Cool hide

Found quickly! Tftc

My first effort and found using the hint, thanks. Has a new dry logbook and pencil, and some toys to trade so happy to leave behind something. TFTC.

Quick find by using the hint. Thanks for replacing the log. No TBs here.

Quick find. TFTC

Easy but a little confused for a while

Found it with Jordsyo

Yay! Found with @NikksYo. Log book too damp to record.

Very damp

Needs a new log book. Nice find!

Easy one.

Didn't find geocache after looking everywhere

Found it this time, second time around. Really don't know how I missed it the first time around. Tftc.

The log is way, way too wet to be of any use to anyone and desperately need to be replaced. I got a few marks down on a page before my pen gave out. TFTC.

Very good cache But Paper needs replacing TFTC

The book is wet and needs replacing good ine

No luck. Muggled I think.

DNF
I found the three-trunk-tree, I think. Maybe it is missing indeed.

Looks like it's been muggled

In Auckland, visiting my daughter. The circle of found caches around her house is gradually getting larger. - - - Some smart person had decided the cache was a good place to place a small tart - - - so of course ants thought it was a good place to be. Chucked the tart, swept out the ants and signed the log. TFTC .

Classy!

Found after quite an extensive search in all the wrong places. But perseverance paid off ☺Dropped off 4 tbs. Sl. Tftc

Nice and easy cash but fun to look for

Looking around the wrong 3 trunked tree at first but an easy find once we found the right one. Tftc.

Good find a wee distance from coordinates, soaked inside

Great job I was glad that it was in my neighborhood

A pretty little wilderness

Boys enjoyed the nearby playground.

Nice hiding spot

Another cache bites the dust!

Couldn't find it this time

Another great find while in the area with Just-Lookin.

SL TFTC

Good

we where in a doubt that we are trespassing into somebody's property.. whatever we found it...

Night time find. Initially looked in wrong spot but found it eventually. Tftc

I was looking in all the wrong places and another from our team came up with the goods

Pretty weird walking in the bush

# 53 Auckland

Easy find:-)

#1134. Arrived in Auckland after a trip up from Rotorua today. This one is near my sisters place. Took a short search to find. Checked a couple of spots then noticed the place that matched the hint and soon had he cache in hand. Felt a bit exposed from neighbours on one side of me. Signed log on the path and stood up only to have a kid in playground watching me. Hopefully returned the cache without anyone seeing where I replaced it. TFTC

First find. Felt a but silly walking around in the bush

Thanks for the cache

I liked the toys and I liked the teddy bears and the flower.

Yay!

Found it!

Yay! Nothing to trade though

Found thanks to the hint, 11 metres away from GZ.

Finally after 2 attempts

We thought this may prove to challenging due to the large number of cars and muggles due to a function at the school. Fortunately the weather was in our favour - rain showers passing frequently- keeping all away from the playground. Cache quickly located with the aid of the hint. Returned to car pronto as the skies darkened dramatically! TFTC

Needed the clue, but found. I like caches that I can find.

Out with NZTravellers doing some night caching.

Was a little unsure if this was private property or not, but we think not. Glad we did this one in the dark.

Once we extended the search area we found the chace. The cache was about 11metres off.

Out doing some night caching with UncleSamNZ.

This one had us searching and having to widen our search area. Eventually the cache was locatyed approximately 10 meters from GZ

Had to be a little careful where we were shining our torches as private houses looked directly out onto this area, Luckily no one popped their head over the fence wanting to know what we were up to.

TFTC

We waited a while and saw the hint.... But too many muggles prevented us from reaching this one... We'll be back!

YAY FOUND IT! our first one!

took 2 Dino's and left a packet of 'magic beans' and a few 'super animals' cards from countdown!
