As there's been no cache to find for some time, 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.
It is with regret that I have to temporarily disable this cache. Unfortunately the big toys over the fence not only took the fence out, but also the trees where the cache was hidden, as they make way more houses and less greenery in this Mega City. I have enjoyed your logs and hope my next one might last a bit longer. Looking at another spot close by, but if that doesnt work, this cache will be archived.
I was going to get this last weekend but didnt and today i noticed GZ had changed well gone!!! i had a rummage around in the remains but nothing this one has ended its life i think.
I drive past this cache daily and noted today that GZ has been seriously compromised... i.e. the tree in the area has been shredded... CO might need to take a look.
Was out with my niece cacher EI-ROT, as I needed a decoy while I was caching.
She had fun jumping the ditch

Hunted this cache down to celebrate 15years of geo-caching... no not me, but geocaching.com...and as I was unable to attend the rave in a cave event.
Drive by this cache every day taking the junior cacher to school, so thought why not today...
cache is in good shape.

Was out again with stik-a-crane looking for a cache so I could get the 15yrs caching souvenir, and this was one of the closest to home that I had not found.

Out and about this afternoon for a spot of after work caching around Papakura. Parked up on the other side of the road and made my way to GZ. I had the old clue so after a moment of confusion I just followed my nose and made the find. Cheers for the cache placement!
Clue changed. It was placed in the dark and we couldn't see what it was, but clue is now correct!!
Had big plans to do a few caches after work. Ended up working later than anticipated.
Got home and headed out. This was the first find and one that we wanted to complete from a previous trip.
Easy find and Mr NZTravellers loved the big boys toys next door.

Not us today...am at music school and can't leave. Well done to nugetam for the ftf.
Quickly headed out the door as the notification came through but not fast enough to beat nuggetm to FTF. Beaten by a matter of seconds and logged STF. Knew exactly where this one would be located while driving to GZ but still took a few seconds to find. TFTC! 
Headed here on our way to the pi(e) event today. Saw a van parked where we thought gz was, then spotted bartfound so joined him in the search. The hint had us a little confused but still a relatively quick find. Found with purply and darthcacher1.
Too busy doing housework to spot the notification when first received but knew immediately where the general placement would be as I had stopped and watched within the last week. Thanks for another Papakura cache.
Found today with Purply and HeMaLuDy. Met Bartfound here too. Lots of rubbish here. TFTC.
Found with HeMaLuDy and darthcacher1. The big toys were still working nearby on a Saturday afternoon.
yay F.T.F the kids are stoked as we have been trying for a wee while. definitely a busy area with many people probably wondering what on earth we were up to hehe thank u for the cache
Found together with mike miss and family, the power pole clue had us looking in a different direction, till mike spotted it.
