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.

Checked this out briefly a couple of nights ago. It is not where it should be. May have been replaced in wrong location or muggled. May have to relocate to a better spot.
Yeah, I was going to mention that. Thanks for checking it out after I got there, but before I could make my post.

Only DNF of the afternoon. We parted lots of "curtains" but were unable to turn up the cache.
Searching was tricky because muggles constantly appeared from numerous directions. Despite that, we made a pretty thorough search but were unable to locate the cache.
I found this about 6 was ago & forgot to log it; went back today - still in good shape.
Thanks for the cache, AlfT&Co.

Quickly spotted an obvious hide location, and it turned out to be correct. Left Trackable. Thanks for the cache.
Out and about with tmann421 enjoying the sights and collecting some caches along the way.
A nice quick find for us here. TFTC

Soon located in the early morning. SL TFTC

Got to GZ, looked at all the possibilities and thought uh-oh. Found easily, signed and rehidden. TFTC
Interesting history of the area. Wonder what happened to the rock. Found with Lunar4. TFTC
Found on a detour home from the Warehouse. Nice hide and nice container. Left a dinosaur TB here for a wee rest. Tftc!
Couldn't find this. Walked round and round, for close according to GPS but no luck.
There was this car parked sort of watching us. With stealth & other half shielding me, I retrieved the cache , signed it and had the dilemma of trying to get it back. Those daft people still sat there - - watching. Decided to go back to the car and wait for 5. Yay, they started walking and we recognised the GPS forward guidance look. Had a chuckle and a short chat, nice to meet JuJu54. TFTC, nice new container.
Great hide, met up with busy paws here, had found it just before we arrived! Nice to meet her! TFTC
Nice, strong new container. Out with Bugzptr to get a couple of caches nearby and although he had this one he was happy to stop so that I could collect my smiley. I felt a little exposed here. TFTC
Thought I had better get the bling for today so headed out with my dogs for a rather large walk passing by this to collect after I found it realised I didn't have my pen in my pocket.....bugger will have to come back, so continued the walk and decided to come back via the Warhouse and brought a pen o back to the cache to sign. Phew tired now, home for dinner. Thanks for the cache. Not so about the story, spooky.
Thank you for replacing so quickly Alft - a quick find when I returned today. No need for Specsavers after all. Tftc.
I searched and searched but DNF. I notice other cachers said it was an easy find - I think perhaps a visit to Specsavers is required - Oh dear!
Only day of the year we hadn't found a cache. Now have the 366 done. Made up for it by finding 4.
Lovely hiding spot, perfect for a wee cache like that. Interesting history too!
This was my girlfriend's first find so woohoo!

Found this whilst down in Christchurch for a few days visiting the folks. Have managed to clock up a few caches - leaving tomorrow, so collecting a few more today. TFTC 
We were over this side of the hill for the CITO tomorrow but when we got to my brothers he wasnt home so we decided to go out into the darkness and get some close-ish caches. The GPS was way off but thankfully a glance from just the right angle with the headlamp and I found it before we even started looking. Logstrip full so I wrote on the back of the stashnote. Thanks for the cache 
Had to come into town to do some jobs today- so took a break from 'North of the Waimak' caches- and thought I'd grab a couple over this way. Nice easy find- nifty little hiding place. Day 88- closing in on my target of 100 day streak. tftc
Had an hour to kill between me finishing work and Ms KR finishing too, so I did a little caching. All quite at GZ, and a quick find was made. There was a police car nearby picking up some passengers. Dunno why, did'nt ask!
Thanks for the hide.

Took the kids to the Linwood cemetery discovery tour today, which is part of kidsfest. We wondered down to get this cache too. Great morning, no wind, no rain, no kids annoying me and the grand prize a cache!! TFTC
After driving into the city to get parts to repair the dishwasher I diverted a little [?] on the way home to seek this and a couple of other caches - the dishes could wait. 
Had to park up the road a little - pesky yellow lines - and then walk back for the quick find. TFTC.
Had to park up the road a little - pesky yellow lines - and then walk back for the quick find. TFTC.Thanks for a realitively easy cache in an area not too far from home. I had had a fossick for two other caches unsuccessfully. I was wearing the wrong footwear and it was too slippery from the recent rotten weather. So this cache was a good one to find after those two. Now home for lunch.
Had a few minutes to kill before meeting a friend so decided to pick this one up on the way. Good thing it was a quick find as was freezing!! Tftc
TFTC. I decided I just had to fit one more cache in as I was driving home from gathering a few Sumner caches with kotukuSI.
Quick park and grab.
Thanks alft for placing the cache.

Typical..As soon as we got to GZ,the Corner became very busy.Found it between Muggles and Traffic,then 2 blokes stopped and stood nearby chatting,we couldn't wait all day,so we stood facing each other making small talk and one of us sneakily rehid it.Amazing what you can do under Muggle noses..TFTH

After work was done for the day I had time to find a few caches before I had to head to my hotel for the night. Thanks for sharing the eerie history of this place. After I realised I didn't need to go up the steps the cache was found in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.
Congrats on your 100th find. I see you're up to 176 now but it's always good to celebrate milestones!
I was visiting a friend for a cuppa and this cache came up in conversation, so hey... what was a gal to do but go and look before going home. My, but it's a busy wee spot. Thanks for the cache, always nice to do a quick P&G on the way home from other things. Edited for the date, forgot to adjust it as I'm late logging.

6953. Driving by this morning so stopped and found the cache. Took a few seconds from car to container. Thanks for the nice easy cache. I lived in Hay Street in 1961 for a few months. Rodney.
Much easier with the updated coordinates, I was a bit distracted last time.... TFTC (1869)
