As this cache has been out of action for too long, 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.

Please consider archiving this Cache as it has not been found for 6 months. The Girl Guides just behind this location would like to have a GeoCache located at their den as they do a GeoCaching badge as part of their curriculum but this cache is preventing them from placing it there.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Tried it with my guide group in the dark, but couldn’t find it

Tried to find it but no luck.

Had a good half hour looking for it but no luck finding it

Absolutely ridiculous, I got to the exact location and searched high and low couldn't find a thing,terrible

no luck finding this

Did not find any container. Some hints where it could be but nothing useable.
I must be blindfolded. Thanks anyway.

Found nothing but a giant drowned rat floating upside down in the stream

Found this one at last. Where I thought would be but it has been too wet to check. Found it straight away tonight. Still don't understand the clue.

Found after dinner in the dark, GPS took me to a different place but after a short search there decided to look at other likely spots and then found it quickly. Coordinates seem to be out by about 10 metres. TFTC.

Next weekend is an event for laval's 1000th find but he needs about 10 more caches to get there so we decided to find a few local ones today to get his numbers up.

The geo-kids were far more interested in what was over the hill then finding the cache but after looking in all the wrong places I let the geo senses take hold and soon spotted the cache. Log signed and returned and we were on our way.

Thanks for the cache.

Found with keylev and cragger.

Thanks for the cache.

Found with keylev and laval.

Thanks for the cache.

Read the logs and figured out where we needed to look but there was nothing there

Spent a while looking in all of the obvious and less obvious spots but a DNF.

Had to come back a second time to find this. The first time I just used the GPS co-ords given, my phone GPS gave me a position that was 50 feet over the back fence and in the neighbours garden. Went home, read all the logs, and most people said co-ords were wrong and to use geo-sense. I'm new to this, so went back, wandered along the path, came upon an object that looked like a possible place, and there it was. Yep, I was suitable delighted to find this. TFTC.

Great spot!

Thanks for the hide. Nice park

Thanks for the cache

Yes found this and it's fairly easy locate. Hint would be crossing a bridge.

Day 10 of a 50 day streak done for my current geo licence My phone was all over the place and Mr 6 said what about there.... and sure enough he was right No idea what the title and the hint meant lol! Someone had put a lolly in the bag which has leaked sticky liquid all over the log so it now can't be written on and there is still liquid in the bag I took out the lolly and put in another piece of paper for a log but it could really do with another ziplock as I didn't have any spare on me. TFTC!

Wish we understood the clues but just looked in a few obvious places and eldest son found it. Massive clap of thunder as we walked into playground so maybe that was the sonic boom!!

Straight off a DNF we (I was caching with casaba3 this afternoon) looked in the wrong spot for a bit following our GPSrs. Then a few logs were read and we looked up and saw a couple of likely spots. Soon after the cache was in hand! Thanks for turning our frowns upside down whafarr!

Out with garball today. Saw all the logs that said follow your geosenses and there it was. Thanks for the cache whafarr.

Tftc. Used geologic & came up with the goods pretty quick.

Yay....first place I looked !!!
Geosenses !
Thanks whafarr !!!

Only took 2 mins to find cache but another 20mins playing with the cute cat who happened by. Very friendly and what a great playground he has. TFTC

Yay !!

Had us stumped for a while but widening the search area eventually paid off TFTC

Pretty cool not many problems!!!

Went with TheDrewJames. It was our second attempt since the first was at night. Since we're fairly new to Geocaching is DID take us a wee while to locate it, but got there in the end. Cool little cache and nice spot.

This is the first cache I found myself! Went with SamJBird. Signed the log and lift a small trinket in the jar. Anyone after me, feel free to add it to your collections. TFTC

Good spot only feel sorry for oldies like me

Great fun looking.gps was going crazy so had to think where I would put it and after a long time searching I finally found it

Nice n easy find here after I ignored the GPS and looked in the most logical place. No idea what the hint means, even after I found the cache. Thanks.

I took the hints of others and looked where I would hide a cache and there it was. Thanks.

Very hard trying to look innocent when you have no children. Hopefully the neighbor did not see what I was doing.

I had never been in this park before, but I know that master chrisandmum had been many times with his caregiver. So it was nice to be able to see somewhere that was familiar to him but not me and do some exploring.

As we arrived at the park and surveyed the surrounds, we spotted the most likely place where a cache would be hidden, but the GPS on our phones was not putting us anywhere near it. So we spent a good 10 minutes fruitlessly searching around near where we were being told GZ was but to no avail.

Finally, I said that I was just going to go and check out the most likely place, and you know what? Bingo, it **was** there. So we were able to sign the log and replace the cache. Just in time too, as as we started walking towards the car, two muggles turned up , but luckily they were distracted by the little black cat as it roamed around in another part of the reserve.

I used to come and play here as a child, so it was great visiting this little park. Master 7 also used to come to this park with his caregiver as a preschooler. The playground is nowhere near as good as it used to be, but the little guy had fun anyway especially exploring down in the gully area.

GPS on the phone had us totally in the wrong place and after some searching and reading of other logs decided we needed to put on our geocaching brains - where is the best place to hide a cache here. And within a minute we had the cache in hand.

TFTC

Quick find in our local park. Tftc

After a little searching biggest geo kid has this in hand TFTC

I'm getting a de-ja-vu with some of the Auckland parks and reserves I've visited.
Had caches my self in most of these in the past, including this one.
Easy find although the cords were a bit off.
TFTC

Nice easy find at GZ.. Loved the size of container.. Cache is all nice and good.. Didn't understand what the hint is.. TFTC

I followed my GPSr (silly me) for a little while, then used Geo-sense to figure out where the cache should be hidden. TFTC.

A quick find. TFTC

Easy find! What a great way to start my lunch break

Tftc. Nice easy one this

Nice hide. Never been to this park before so a good chance to explore! Thanks

Nice hide. Never been to this park before so a good chance to explore! Thanks

Found this one, made it to double figures on this one We were helped by a gorgeous little black cat who likes to hang out in the park. Been to the park a couple of times funny to think we didn't know these little caches are hidden all over the place

Came by this way as it was dark. I sneaked past a couple who were getting amorous. Boy didn't they sit up quickly as I made my presence known. Hah hah hah. Serves you right... go getta room!

Needed a find to fill in a dot day on our calendar matrix, so this cache was on our radar. No idea what the hint meant, but our geocaching senses kicked in, and we soon had the cache in hand. We reminisced about another cache we found here, but looks like it has gone, so hope this one sticks around! Thanks for the hide.

Found with Miss NewlynFam after work today. No idea what rhymes with Travis....? but we spotted it in the obvious spot anyway. TFTC!

Found with my Mum, NewlynFam. Have now created my own account so am logging all finds I was present at and helped with.
Mum had to retrieve this one....

nice day to go out TFTC

Nice quick find in a pleasant bush setting TFTC

Nice quick easy find. No idea what the clue
means but went straight to it. TFTC.

Had a few minutes spare between appointments today, so I thought I would give this one a go again. I tried a few months back, but there were too many kids in the park.

Approached GZ, decided to look at hint, but it got me confused....so I just used my Geopowers and found the cache in the first place I looked.

Never knew this park was here or this little walkway....thanks

No idea on what the hint means, even as im logging this find but it didnt matter as the cache was quickly spotted. Rather slippery around GZ at the moment, TFTC!

A nice quick find on a walk by. TFTC!!!

Another great find on a geocaching holiday in the area.
Thanks for setting up this cache.

Nice to get this one found quickly today.

Our numbers for the.month were dispicable so a spot of night caching was called for. While waiting for our pizza to cook we spotted this close by.

A quick easy find. Nice camo.

TFTC

Out and about after work this afternoon for a spot of caching fun on the way home. I parked up and made the short walk to GZ. I remember finding a cache in this park years ago now. Anyway, nice quick find in the first place I checked. Cheers for the cache placement!

Spotted a gap in the rain radar early, so shoes on & out the door heading for this cache. Checked a few spots before finding the cache. Continued walking until the horizon was no longer visible. Turned & headed home only getting a tad drenched. TFTC

All the locals were at the Anzac parade, so the park was nice and quiet.

TFTC

Nice to be back here. We used to bring our two girls here to play 20 - 25 years ago! Thanks

Nice hide, never been to this park before. Tftc

A quick trip and a quick find at the CO's other new cache meant I had time for "just one more". My luck continued here with another quick trip and a quick find in the first place I looked while I waited for my phone to catch up with me. Another FTF! Inside of the container was quite damp already, but the logbook was safe and dry in its bag. Cool little walkway into the park from Vincent Street. Thank Apple Smash, Sonic Boom and whafarr for the fun lunch time excursion! Back to work now!
