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.

Been out of action for a lengthy time and no maintenance performed.

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

For some reason I am unable to archive

gone walkabout- will replace next time I'm in the Town Basin

Not found 3rd one today a bit disappointed but the find was in june

My team didn't manage to find this one. Moving on.

3rd not found today a bit sad but expected from something last found in june

Didn’t spend to much time looking given the history of DNFs

Not here!

My daughter and I looked and looked but couldn't find it, I hope someone else has more luck than we did.

had a quick look but not here cache may be gone.

Not here today

No luck tonight but we may have been looking in the wrong place. Our phones are not being very helpful with GPS being off on more than one occasion.

Sadly a DNF. Even my concreting skills on the rough ashlar proved a slip.

Nicely hidden tftc

Found by 7yr old son Dan, on walk around loop

We were staying near this one. Amazing how after you have found a cache, you then see it every time you go by. TFTC

don't like trees. But this was easy find.

The cache is in good condition and the log paper is nice and dry. I took nothing, left nothing, and signed the log paper.
I carefully replaced the cache right back where I found it.

*thanks to PageHeart for your cache*

Stopped by to maybe look for this one earlier in the week, but the council mower muggle was zooming all around on his mower and then he parked it right next to the GZ tree while he used his blower to clear the concrete path. Wouldn't have looked good snooping low around his mower, and time was short, so I departed, but not before spotting a suspicious object worthy of checking out next time.

Weather is a bit grotty today and forecast to get worse, so after dropping Mrs at work, stopped off early in the day to check this one out and hopefully keep the 2017 streak going. Still a few muggle walkers out in the rain, but there were enough gaps to be able to check out the suspicious object unnoticed and sure enough, there was the cache.

This took longer than it should have. Once under the right tree the cache was soon in hand (although it was the third try on that tree). TFTC.

Nice easy find. TFTC snaw

Whangarei Day2.
We spent a delightful day in the outer region of Whangarei, driving through the rolling country side then onto the sea side where many surfers were enjoying the waves.
A great variety of locations & hides were found.
Thanks for placing this cache PageHeart

Had a great day out caching today, with the aim to collect as many TBs as possible to take overseas on tuesday. The aim was also to get ever so slightly closer to the 500 caches found mark.
Collected this cache while giving the dogs a good walk, great hide on such a busy walking track, a little bit wet out today though

Had to set the kids on this one, soon in hand. previous non find. TFTC

I'm back up in my home town of Whangarei for the holiday period and today joined up with fellow Auckland cacher yorkshirekiwi83 and local caching friends tikitour for a hot summers day of caching around the city. The logs were either signed with our caching names or some combination of the letters T,V & Y for our caching names - depending on who had previously found the caches. Parked across the road and dashed across to GZ where the cache was in the first spot we looked. TFTC!

Decided to finish the year and see in the new year in Whangarei, Vistra and tikitour decided to join me and we spent the time grabbing caches around the region, in some cases it was just one that needed to sign in others it was all three of us, signed as TYV (or combination of those letters) or VY when it was more than 1 of us.

Parked up opposite and crossed the road, quickly found the cache. TFTC

Hi there good spot Thanks

Did take couple of minutes to locate. Great trees. TFTC

Another find with Ramjet57, was looking in wrong tree initially. Great place to sit and ponder.

Found it! Here for xmas with family. Had to be a little bit brave, but quickly came up with cache in hand. In good condition. Sat and watched the boats and fish till coast was clear. Taken trackable for a trip elsewhere, might come back and swap one (if it fits) later in week. Tftc. Great location.

Cache checked is still in place and trackable still there

Trackable still in location

We looked and looked,we checked trees either side too. NO cache to be found.

Can't find it searched 3 trees

Searched 4 tress boo not to be this time

Have finally gotten around to doing the loop and finding a few caches along the way. A bit hard to look inconspicuous but did my best! TFTC

Out enjoying the waterfront walk with my sister tikitour. Nicely hidden cache - love these old trees. Thanks

HockeyHiker19 and I were on day 1 of our geocaching honeymoon in New Zealand. We were staying at a nearby Hotel and figured we would run across the street and give this one a try. After a short search, I was able to spot the container.

980, nice easy find and no mugglers not site. Noticed the Guppy in the marina. Amazing work that young girl achieved.

Greetings from West Sacramento, California! Papa EGTH are on Day 1 of our 3-week honeymoon and after arriving in Auckland a little after 5am this morning, we stopped for this cache after having dinner. This one was right across the street from our hotel, so we just had to get it. Papa EGTH located it after a brief search. Thanks! This was our last find of our first day in New Zealand. Thanks!

A bit ahead of myself, I signed the log for the 10th! No TB unfortunately and not big enough to leave one of the TBs I'm holding. TFTC.

Dropped off a trackable

Finally mostly muggle free early before today's run/walk. TFTC

Cool find on our walk

We came up to Whangarei this evening ready to spend tomorrow finding a bunch of caches with combinations of type, size and D/T that we want for a Licence challenge.
We were spending the night at the Town Basin in our camper, and since we were so close, walked around to make this one our find for today. Thanks.

A quick find while dodging muggle eyes. TFTC
