Searching for this looks so dodgy, hope the owner of the property doesn't mind!! TFTC
A quick look here but we were a bit worried about the muggles near by and that it was so close to people’s houses.So we continued on with our walk without any find here.
After having brunch nearby, I went for a geostroll while Mrs Wilby checked out some shops.
I have found a similar cache before so soon had the paperwork completed. Visiting from Dunedin. Tftc

Spent over an hour trying to locate it without luck my cousin picked up some dog poo thinking it was the geocache and ripped it apart lol and we found some latex 
but other than that unsuccessful please if you find it message me where it is so we can come back because we live fairly close!
but other than that unsuccessful please if you find it message me where it is so we can come back because we live fairly close!I, like many, was very conscious of being suspicious and even had our fingers on cache before realising it was the cache. Told my son not to touch it, when it was in fact the cache. TFTC
This has been a pain in the proverbial for a L O N G time, and of course I was still looking in the same spots for the same type of container....Dooaa. Still, a hint from Supercacher and cache was in my wrinkly old hand...thanks for the frustration over the years.....LOL.... cheers V
After I finished work for the day I had time to go and find a few caches before I had to head to the airport and home. I should have found this quicker but I was a bit reluctant to touch what I realised might be the cache. Finally had it in hand, signed the log and replaced as found. TFTC, Biggles.
Last up on the way home, was worried this would be in someones property. But with the hint we quickly realised where it would be...is that any better. Luckly it was. Nice camo, fave point, thanks
Finally beaten my nemesis.........on reflection I should of found this much sooner.
Back after a reflective thought.
Well done on the hide!
I replaced the log as it was nearly full
FP added
Thanks!

Long weekend geocaching in Auckland with Riser5 logged as R18.
Haven't seen one of these before. A few red herrings and then read the logs and yay

This one could have taken very long. There were a few people on the street (one family using a swing on a tree nearby). We had a few ideas as to where it might be but hayleyfcy spotted something and said: "I think it's the ******. We saw a cache like that before." Sure enough, she was right. Could see that being VERY tricky for some though. Nice hide. FP for the brazenness of the hide. Thanks!
Awesome! Had seen this cache container once someplace else, and thought it was a clever one. Dismissed it when I first saw it as I thought it couldn't be, and it looked like we had walked past it on the map, so we went off to look at other stuff. Anyway, was looking back at the description while trying to wait out some muggles, and I thought, maybe I'll just run the idea past michaelteacher and see if he thought it would be possible or if I just had an overactive imagination haha. Anyway, he agreed that it might be the cache, so I went for it and ta-daa! success! Good hide, tftc 
We wanted four finds for today's calendar date, and it was already dark. We decided to head into the city to try our luck there. This was the last cache we needed for tonight, but we were disappointed to pull up near GZ and realise we had been here before and had failed to find the cache. On that occasion it was a weekend, and there were too many people in the street for a proper look. Tonight it was pretty late, and we were concerned we might look suspicious. Fortunately this time we managed to find the cache after only a short search. Relieved, we signed the cunning cache, and job done, headed for home. Thanks.
Very clever cache. Found with mikefnz and brandon97. Took us a while to find it but reading a few logs helped in t the end. Tftc
Easily spent more time here than originally thought for a "park and grab". Was very hesitant to vandalise the area around the house so this took a lot of standing and contemplating. Both brand0n97 and myself overlooked the cache location a number of times before darkangel took the leap.
A great cache found after a wander. Our 2000th so giving a fav for that. We can go back to the UK content now. Tb visit TFTC
Well done! Tricky enough! I like it. Nice quick find but could be so difficult for some of us. TFTC
Parked up and wondered where this one might be in such an urban environment. The first couple of places were wrong but then spotted something a little suspicious and sure enough it was the cache. TFTC.
Not what I was expecting, and misinterpreted the hint, but had found a similar cache in Dunedin, so when it caught my eye, I knew to check it out. TFTC.
Another day of trying to keep the summer streak going before work gets overwhelming. Lunch time was out as it was raining and didn't want to have to explain coming to work in a wet suit so after work it was. Got a park in the street which was an achievement in itself and walked across to GZ. Always awkward thinking something might be on private property but no need to do anything dodgy and spotted the slightly out of place item and lo and behold! There was the cache. Thanks for the cache, it's in super condition so all good here - I'm guessing the CO knows that as it's not far to go and check it! Thanks, another day done.
Parked opposite and almost got muggled by some people walking down the street so carried on down to the nearby cache in Sackville Reserve. On my way walking back I read some more of the logs, and almost immediately spotted something that, well lets say didn't really need to be there. Yup its the cache, very funny gets a FP, cheers
Out and about walking with Henry the dog. He is choosing the route today and took us down this street to this v cool cache. Tftc, this gets a fav
Another DNF for me today. Pretty sure I know where it is, but as previous posts say, could be private property so I didn't try for too long...
Decided to stay out some longer today after the CITO to collect more smiles. Searched around GZ before the owner came out. He gave me a nudge into the correct direction and the find was made. Nice chatting with you and great geocache. TFTC
Well, I must admit, I thought that "no plastic bag needed" implied the cache was a fake dog poo, so colour me very surprised to find a cache that was completely different. When I eventually spotted what I thought might be the hide, I was very mindful of the fact I was potentially vandalising someone's private property - so it was with great relief that when I pulled it apart I found it was a cache and I hadn't just destroyed someone's property! Anyway, got this one off the DNF list finally. Found with Gorby. TFTC
Came here late at night with FMZ. We got a DNF on a new multi and thought we'd get another cache before heading home. This cache had the potential to be a right pain in the buttocks. But FMZ was the one who found it, not a place I would have searched, that's for sure. We had to be sooo quiet in case we got busted, luckily no cars passed us by. Nice to have found this, not sure I would have on my own.
Today was another nice day for our holiday trip in new zealand were we of course also found some caches along the way.
Today we took a trip around Auckland.
This is one of them. thank you for maintaining this cache.

Certainly confusing here as I didnt know what a few meters was. But spotted the obvious hide pretty quickly. Thanks.
Caching in the area tonight after an early finish at work. Was not too sure how many metres down the hill I should look, or what to look for. Took a moment to reflect and soon had cache in hand.
Had come out to Western Springs today as it was a rendezvous point for picking up my daughter. However, it appeared that the other party were running late. Hmmmm, what to do while we waited? Find some caches, of course!
This was the last one we attempted today before going back to the meeting point. Got out of the car, and the street appeared nice and quiet- yussss! Began on one side of the road, but was having some coord issues, and started heading over to the other side before realising that we were in fact on the right side to begin with! Went back to that side and had a quick check of the tree, then I checked the cache page and realised it wasn't in the tree. Oh. Right then..... continue looking. This time the coords were taking us quite close to a property, and we began to wonder just how daring of a hide this actually was...... was it on private property? Was it in fact the CO's house that we were standing outside?
Well, the curtains were closed, so we didn't feel too uncomfortable about being watched, but we were still veeeeery close to a house. Just then, I read something in a log out loud that I thought may have given us a bit of a hint, and EIR-OT put her hand on it at the same time!
We had a bit of a laugh as we opened it up and realised that it was actually the cache container..... sneaky, sneaky!!!
TFTC Magdajh....very cool!

After not finding a mysterious green spot, Miss & Mr Jacksonz tried to find this one on the way home from the supermarket, but had no luck here either. Maybe another day.
Well well well we were pretty dumb here took way longer than it should have. Was almost ready to give it when it was spotted lol. Nice camo. Log signed as b&p.Tftc Magdajh. Find # 3149
Went straight for the suspicious object, clever and nicely camoflagued, TFTC
The insert has disappeared, so there is no longer a log here. CO needs to fix. TFTC.
First one of this kind for me...
Made in china as it says... i wonder what do animals eat there then for such a colour!

After getting rained on and giving up late Friday morning last week, I came back to this area today, to do another sweep of this area & fill in some gaps, a nice easy find, under stood the hint after I found it, TFTC

we must admit that we have been here before. it is a very busy street. today we got it with little bit of a search here and there. we understood about the title only after finding the cache. ha ha.. tftc.

I was in the area so decided to get some more smiley faces on my map. Initially I was distracted by something that just seemed out of place and I spent a bit of time inspecting that, paf to check and no, that wasn't the cache. Once I was given a hint as to what I needed to look for I then had to wait it out while a nearby resident paced up and down at GZ while having a very animated conversation on his phone. While he walked back up his drive I snuck in to grab it then had to wait til he did the same again to sneak the cache back into it's hiding place. Nice container!
Vistra and I had a couple of hours to sprare this afternoon, so we heaaded out to this area to have another go at clearing it out (we had achieved that a couple of years ago).
Haha, funny, well done. TFTC
