I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Before I started caching I thought I saw something here - now ... can't find it.
Wandering about the seaside with family, took a wee while to locate it, but log signed and back in place, thanks
yip, Mrs Duo found it. Took a bit of searching, but there it was.
After dinner find with Darby & Joan

Down in the area for a few days visiting family and enjoying the Coastal Cycleway, interspersed with a little bit of geocaching as well. We called by this cache for the 3rd time with "The Rambling Duo in tow, after dinner in the hopes they could help us locate it. Yep Mrs Rambling Duo came up trumps. So glad to get the smiley face on this one, very well hidden. SL. TFTC. 
Decided to come to new plymouth for the weekend and collect a few caches too.Took a small walk this evening and as we were nearby decided to look for this cache.A nice quick find.log is nearly full.
Another summer road trip brings us here. A quick find as described, in a relatively quiet location. All safe and dry here. TFTC
Quick find after breakfast on a beautiful day. We're having a great holiday in New Plymouth. TFTC.
#6335. I have some work meetings in New Plymouth on Monday so have come up early. Gives me a chance to pick up several caches in the evening. Nice to be back in Taranaki for some caching. Unfortunately it wont be many as I have a full agenda and fly back to Wellington on Tuesday morning. Nice quick find once I realised which side of the tracks it was on. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for hiding it here Zork V.
Found this on an evening walk on Tuesday with daughter and DarthJamie but had no pen so back on Wednesday to sign the log
Seas were pounding and garden looking great, good spot for a dragon cache thanks Zork V
We ate and shopped then came over to grab this nearest cache. Took a moment to work out the way around the tracks but once there, a quick find. It's a pity the Dragon is missing; I do hope my bunny caches are safe. Thanks Zork V.
I am down in New Plymouth for the weekend and while I am here I thought it would be good to collect as many geocaches as possible to try and clear some of the map before I leave. Today I am here for the entire day so I thought that I could get as many geocaches found as possible hoping that the rain does start until tonight, it did eventually begin raining and I had to go home but I did manage to found quite a lot of geocaches before so.
I took a few weird turns trying to get to this geocache that were completely unnecessary, so this geocache took longer to get to then it should have but once I was there the hint told me exactly where to look. I thought I knew exactly where it would be as soon as I read the hint but upon investigation I couldn't find it there. I then began searching in all the other places, but eventually went back and checked the place I thought it might have been again. Guess what? It was there, my eyes just hadn't been functioning well enough to see it. TFTC!!

Found during short walk along Te Henui Stream together with a couple of another caches. I didn't find today till this cache only one cache on the way "Te Henui Cemetery Gate" (GC59BP7), the coordinates pointed to the place where the trees were cut out not long time ago. I Started this walk from Sunflower lodge and reached Te Henui Stream next to the bridge of State Highway 3A crossing Te Henui Stream. And I finished my half day walk by the see and later in the centre of New Plymouth. Greetings from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Thanks for the cache.
This one took a little while to find as it was tucked away so well, plus there were quite a few clue items to choose from but once I had my hand in the right place, it was soon found. TFTC.
I'm in New Plymouth for work and before I have dinner with a work colleague I have some time to walk around the city centre picking up a few caches. A straightforward find here with no muggle issues which is how I like it

A nice easy find on a gusty and drizzling morning. The weather kept all the muggles away. Before wandering down here from town I forgot to grab my swag from the car so TNLNSL TFTC.
Only the container found, the dragon has not found its way back yet! Thanks CO for the cache
We made plans to come this way for a while now to attend the event in Hawera on Sunday. We set of on Friday night parked up at a nice accommodation in Hawera with a lovely view. Then today set off at 9am with a friend 2 Bullbars to get some caches in the area around the big beautiful mountain. What a great day today turned out to be. we are now on cache number 29 cache is all good here, we signed the log and placed it back exactly where we found it. Thank you for placing a cache here in such a lovely area. TFTC
On north island holiday with my partner who is NOT a cacher so went for a walk without a pen I'm afraid so haven't signed log.
In New Plymouth for a work engagement. Always nice to wander around a new city using caches as a tour guide, and so it proved with this cache. Thanks for bringing me here.
Quick find. Dropped tb St Mary Star of the Sea here by the sea. Z Z went head first to find the cache
Took more time than I thought I would. But we got there in the end. tftp

Down from Auckland for a few days, staying nearby. Came here after visiting the wind wand. Sad that someone has made off with the dragon. Found this one after a few minutes, then looked at some interesting sculptures nearby. TFTC
Sneaky night action to avoid waking up the dragon. No dragon there, instead a little travelbugged chicken far from home. TFTC!
Had some time to kill on my visit to new plymouth today while I waited for my friend to finish work so I thought I'd take a stroll down the waterfront and see what I could find. This was a nice easy hide. Thanks for the cache. Dropped off a trackable I've been meaning to place for a while.
Found during a bike ride along this very pleasant pathway. Had to ask Mr E to mind my bike while I collected this one. Soon found thanks for the helpful hint and good coordinates.
Not too many people here at the moment. Log signed. No sign of a dragon lurking nearby. TFTC
Hunted on the wrong side of the wall for a bit. Easy find on the right side thanks
