I have replaced this cache a number of times but I suspect that it gets cleaned up with the council each time so I’ve given up
It's 10 months + some since last update.. was it ever replaced? There are no finds on this thing..
I just had to give it a go.. with 'maintenance'-log in januaray and then nothing else for more than half a year didn't give me great hope.. time for an archive maybe?

This has been muggled again, will be replacing cache in the next few days. So stay tuned for updates 
Couldn't find, but was in a hurry so I easily could have missed it due to being a newbie.
Try to find this one almost one hour. Read the hint, logs but still did not find 
not my day today
not my day today Grabbed this one while heading out of New Plymouth. My phone wasn't that accurate so I had a wide area to search but luckily after a few 'nope, not there' moments I was able to lay eyes on the well hidden cache.

Been at least 6 months since we last geocached...Miss 8 hasn't lost her knack of finding them rather quickly...Ok of the car and in the hand in less than a minute with the offer of the hint...I wonder if this is the cache that gets us started up again....thanks for the awesome hide
Needed a Good Friday cache, having decided to get one each day of the Easter holiday. With inclement weather I wanted a 'park & grab' and this one was not too far away. Spotted it pretty well immediately. Took the TB. TFTC.
Been meaning to get this one for a while ... looked fromjust the right direction and spotted it immediately. Dropped a tb. TFTC
Heading home after a relaxing weekend in the 'naki and intending to grab a few caches which are on or close to SH3. Found this cache in the second place I looked, was made obvious as I could see the end of it. Signed log, TNLN and left so that the cache was not quite so obvious. Thanks for the placement Malady.

Woo-hoo we have made it to new Plymouth to have Christmas with the in-laws, have been past this place a few times so today was the day we had to wait out some people that were meeting other people, eventually they left and was a nice quick find signed log and replaced as found thanks for the cache and the smiley.
Merry Christmas

Quick find on the way into town for lunch. Walked straight up to up and found. New log needed as full
Quick easy find surprisingly, well done on the cache though that's commitment! Thanks!
Wasn't looking here to start with, but once I spotted it I couldn't unsee it went to have a look yup scored a cache, added my swag took nothing. Tftc
In New Plymouth, as part of my long weekend break. After spending some quality time in Taranaki, watching sunrise and hiking thought to pick few more caches. Parked near GZ, and fortunately no muggle around. Gps too straight to the cache and it is all good here but needs an immediate log replacement. loved the nice little jewelry box. tftc.
Down in New Plymouth for the long weekend - took my time to log it on here - and decided to do some caching! A nice easy find here
Down in New Plymouth for the long weekend and we did a circuit of Mt Taranaki. Great to find a cache here on the way back into NP, TFTC
Had a chat to a local who was out picking up rubbish. Waited until he went home and found the cache quickly. TFTC
Followed the hints and went slightly off coordinates and found it!!! Nice hiding place Tftc
I had a bit of time on my way to a meeting in New Plymouth so I meandered up and grabbed a few caches on the way. Number 7 took some time, reading previous logs I knew not to climb the fence but I was looking in the wrong area and was about to give up when I had another look around the area and saw something that looked not quite right...got it! TFTC
After waiting out some muggles sitting in their car close by, the cache was found.
Certainly the search was made harder by it being 9 metres east of the published waypoint. We over-thought the hide type for a while also, but a well covered hide was located in the end.

awesome little spot,lots of traffic close by but managed to grab this sneaky cache
Well, for us it wasn't Welcome to New Plymouth but Farewell to New Plymouth - - - I guess quite a few people enter NP after following the Surf Highway as we did. Anyway. Thanks for the greeting . Took a while - - - all the time thinking about just what the hint might refer to - - - then suddenly - - - there it was. TFTH .

Planning to head up to the Summit of the mountain tomorrow to claim my 6000th find, so needed a few more finds to get the numbers to align. I had spent the morning caching but still needed a few more to get the numbers up, so time for a few more finds before the big one tomorrow.
Had spent the afternoon in Stratford for an Open Tree Climbing Event, so stopped off here on the way home. Followed the GPS and ended up all over the place, so checked a few common places for hides before reverting to reading a few logs. Gleamed from them that over the fence wasn't the answer so expanded the search a little and then finally spotted something that didn't quite look right. Bingo, a nicely camo'd cache, thanks for the hide.

The coords on the Garmin had me over the fence looking at a big tree. As it turned out I needn't have climbed the fence. We then read some of the previous logs which indicated the coords may be a little out. Looked around a few minutes and finally located it, despite the GPSr telling us we should have been about 9m west! #1065. TFTC.
Found tonight with Gnome62. Nice hide. Left a pile of diamonds. Thanks for the cache
This cache was one of the many caches we found on our 6 day campervan journey from Tauranga to Lower Hutt via Waihi, Cambridge, New Plymouth and along the west coast to Wanganui and back to the Hutt. A mighty and enjoyable journey which took us to many great and iconic parts of the north island and of course some great geocaches. Many thanks to the many CO's for the great cache placements and for bringing us to so many new places. Sorry about the generic log but 200 plus to log. TFTC
This cache took us longer than it should have, then Corunnaroad came up trumps. Good hide Malady!
Meet 2 lovely ladies and there preschooler and we all worked together to find it!:-) 2
The hubby found this one.... GPS was a little jumpy. Did not take to long to find. TFTC
Yay! Another sneaky find for the day! Ingenious hide, well done! Found with fledgling cacher muzzmo14.
Skipped a cache to join up with fellow cachers Evisser8 and (new to the caching thing) Muzzmo14 when we had finished this one.
The New Year brings a new challenge and normally we are just casual cachers with a record of 8 caches in one day. So today we decided to hit double figures!
This was number four.
It is great to see all of the members of the family having success today. It seems that with the number we have planned and the variety of caches, we will all have some "finding" success before the day is out. This cache was no exception.
Great hide - nice work with setting that up. TFTC
