I had a DNF right before this and I did not want to end on that note so I thought this one might help me close off my hour of geocaching. I had a good look around and I think I was doubting myself and I could not see it but then suddenly I spotted a spot and phew there it was. I hate ending on a DNF so am very glad to have this yellow smiley face. TFTC
A solo excursion for Mr Coblet.This is a great example of how geocaching brings you to places you would never have otherwise discovered. What a nice little haven in the middle of a quiet neighbourhood. I was pleased to have the entire area to myself and had a walk around before looking for the cache.Once at GZ I quickly located the container while being observed by some very interested ducks. Or at least they seemed to be interested but more likely just wanted some food.Thanks Supernannny for bringing me to this peaceful spot.
Went biking with my friend and thought we should have a look it was such a cool fines thanks
Came here to check after 1 dnf.

Just a note, I think the recent floods got at the container, it was full of water. I've emptied it as best I could. But might want to check it out.
Great hiding spot - we did have the glare of the goose but he stayed behind the fence
Somewhat hard find but was lots of fun! Don’t try going in the bush like we did hidden well don’t be scared of the geese they don’t fly over
We were in the area perambulating and pottering about and came by this little lake. All of the ducks and the goose came over to see GeohoundandI. Whilst I was searching for the cache I heard the goose shout "quack", and then start to hiss. I'd just signed the log when it really started to hiss at us and tried to break through the fence. I quickly replaced the cache and we ran back to the car, so apologies if there isn't enough camo hiding the cache.
Got some good hints and found it strait away. Easy and thanks for the cache

Great place! We found it pretty easily and liked the little message on the blue stone!
Out Henderson way today to pick up an item of furniture that Mrs. Liver Bird had bought on TradeMe. Mr. Kiwi and LordCacher08 had been dispatched to pick it up this morning, so after loading the item into the car, it was a quick cache, just around the corner, on the way home.
Pulled up across the road from GZ as LordCacher08 rolled his eyes at the prospect of Mr. Kiwi grabbing a cache. So Mr. Kiwi went alone to look for it. Took a little while to figure out exactly where GZ was as the phone GPS was not playing ball much today. Anyway, one spot looked like it had been searched a fair few times, so he decided to look there. A quick feel around and the cache was soon in hand. Sat down on the bench to sign the log and then replaced the cache from whence it came before heading home.

Headed out after lunch (cheese of course) and the clouds were ominous but I was OK as I'd got a waterproof jacket in the car, ahem (not a very waterproof one as it turns out). First up here and down to the other side of the weedy lake and grabbed a seat for a mo. Checked behind 'there' and brought out the quirky cache container and added my name to the long list of finders. Read the recent logs and reached another side and brought out a different newer container. Put back the original and took the newer one back to the car with a plan to message the CO before leaving the area today to drop it off. Ooops, the downpour at the next cache made me completely forget and have only just remembered, sorry H. Please let me know what you want me to do with it.
Had a cacheless day yesterday so decided I wanted a couple of finds today just to keep the weekend and December numbers ticking over. In the end it was a day of two halves. First up I headed into and around the CBD to finish off an ongoing Wherigo and get another couple of solved puzzles. Then later we headed to Puhoi to stock up on cheese for xmas before heading home again. mrs c was keen to put up the xmas tree and some decorations up so I headed out Ranui way for a few, but the threatened storms and rain soon arrived so caching was cut short at 3 finds (and some very wet clothes!). Thanks to all COs for their hides and efforts.

Just checked on this cache today .
Not wet at all.
No signatures on the log paper since I replaced it.
I have no idea what hannahlouisiana, red evandon and naenae 82 signed.
(.Maybe a really old one that people thought was missing,?)

Found this yesterday. Took me a while, but a previous log made it instantly found. A very nice park, thanks for the cache placement.
I took a dog leg ( no, make that 8 dog legs) to visit this little lake on the way to a dog park. Thanks Supernanny!
This is a fun one. Not too hard but makes you think. Quick find in the way to work, always have fun with. The people in the houses seemed very confused while I was around
Brief visit in Henderson to do newest AL. Visited also a few other local caches. This hide was one of them.
Last one for today. I had DNF here couple days ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Many thanks for recent maintenance at the location.
Instant find today!

I’ll head back hopefully in a few days and remove the one I put there, so that way there’s no confusion
Went and took everything out of old container and put in new one, only one Cache here now
The only DNF for me today. Must be well replaced by previous finder. Thanks anyway.
Nice and easy because was on the path. Not too sure where it was supposed to go but put it back where Navigation was... CO might want to come check it out and put where it’s meant to be. Tyfc
Great find. It helped coming during the day instead of the early morning or evening.
I can't disagree (which I don't do much of) with the CO on this one, it is a small one.
Cheers for the cache.
Cheers for the cache.
This was the perfect place to bring my old geopup out for some fresh air, in between showers...and for me to start picking up some of the local caches. Thanks SuperNanny
This is my last cache out here for now, as I need to head back home. Still a bit of daylight left but it will be getting dark soon, so parked nice and close and walked across. Third place I checked, once I spotted the rock mentioned in some logs, TFTC
Great hiding spot supernanny, definitely had to read the logs to find it. Not many rocks in this area so that hint definitely helped.
A rare day that we had to ourselves and reasonably sunny as well, so we set out nice and early on a Sunday to enjoy some caching in the west. A bit of a hunt just a few metres off gz and got it! TFTC!
Out and about for a spot of cache detection out west today. It ended up being pretty fine weather for it; the forecast showers didn't eventuate during my expedition today. Anyway, I parked up near GZ and made the very short walk over to GZ. I tried several spots before I got the right one. Cheers for the cache placement!
Had a littl spare time between appointments again today, and noted this one only 150 meters away......went for a short stroll to check out the little lake and made the find.....
Sat down to admire the view whilst signing in.... quite wet inside the container, luckily all ok with the waterproof log paper....

I live really close to this catch and I’ve looked everyday for the past three days, without trying to look suspicious, but no luck
Well hidden, took too long to find though. Great little park in such a peaceful area, we loved it! Tftc!
Awesome little stop with the family. Twins loved feeding the ducks some corn. TFTC
