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.

Hi Nic-jay

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards
The Coddiwompler

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

I was going to attempt this cache but realised there is no point as it has been missing for over two and a half years. It appears from the last two logs that although there have been no Needs Maintenance logs and cache has not been disabled that the CO is aware it is missing.
Cache needs to be disabled till it can be replaced which needs to be done within a reasonably short time, otherwise it needs to be archived to free up the area for others.

New bench here so cache has gone AWOL.

Logged with photographic evidence of the right spot with cache owner. Thanks nicjay

Logged with permission from CO, thanks Nic-jay! Will pop it on my watchlist and revisit once replaced.

Likely to be missing

Not today

Sadly dtf

This has now officially joined my list of Nemesis caches...

Back on the bike, coming from Maymorn off the train, to stretch the legs, catch some caches and enjoy a rare summer's day.
I seem to have a problem with this one. Was planning to try again on my way past but this time thwarted by mum with kids crossing to the playground, and a parked and occupied ute. Kept on biking!

Quick and easy find. Had to wait for the bus driver, but got it in the end while DS8 had a swing. TFTC.

I obviously have fresher eyes for this than the last time I was here. A quick find about 8m from where my GPS indicated. TFTC!

First time trying this so maybe it's just us

Last one of the day. Was about 6 metres out, but still there!

Nothing at the coordinates my GPS took me to. Noting the comments about a12m error I looked around. The obvious place was empty. All the bushes around the playground have been trimmed and the soil freshly dug so anything at ground level there is probably gone. Out of ideas now so on to the next one...

The coordinates were about 10 metres out. I started looking at the object closest to where my GPS grounded out. After finding nothing there I widened the search and soon found it. TFTC

We found it so quickly it was easy. Team Simmons

After climbing Mt. Climie today (even the weather wasn't nice) I stopped on my way back and had a look for this Little one, too The GZ was a Little bit off but it was quite quite clear where I had to search. And so I was successfull after a while.

Thanks a lot for the Cache.

Another find out with eidesor today climbing Mt Climie. Perfect day for it; TFTC!

Hi, TFTC! Got into caching whilst visiting friends in NZ, coming from Norway, and has been great so far

Sat down to put in new co ords and found it

The bus seems to always be here. Found it after waiting ten minutes for bus to leave.

Just had to wait for the bus to turn around.

Cool my first find!

First geocache find! Fun little afternoon adventure

Found it Nice wee cache to start the day. Thanks

Out With BigCheeseNZ. second visit today, about to do the 'lets look here one more time then lets go' and saying this out loud does the trick - located at the last minute. Shook our heads as to why we didnt locate this the first time!!! TFTC.

Second visit to this one. We looked here first time and second time, but didn't see until the very last minute! Can't believe we missed it.

Like others, we found the coordinates were about 12m out.

TFTC!!! (^‿^)

GPS took me to a slightly different spot but hunted around a bit and finally got our hands on it! Last of the day and on the way home happy with our exercise!

Had me scratching my head for a few moments. I'm not too good with caches overlooked by windows. Once I read some old logs and saw the coordinates were a little bit out, I went straight to the hiding spot and found the cache a few seconds later. Exactly where I would have hidden it! TFTC.

Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache

TFTC - all good

Coords about 12m out for us once we had widened our search it was a relatively quick find TFTC

Our cousins helped us find this one.

On arrival at GZ I quickly rejected the obvious location because park maintenance work would probably reveal/destroy the container. Looking at the second possibility I deduced the container type and the cache was quickly in hand. Being forewarned I had my tweezers at the ready.

TFTC.

Coordinates had me in the car park and failed to find anything in the most likely places.

Coords about 12m out for me, cache all good, TFTC

Called by on our way into Tunnel Gully.
Cache find was straightforward. Extraction of the log a little less so!
Cache in order; log signed, safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

A quick find, unlike the previous placement here!

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

FIN (laalaa, janahola, temyllyl, kapeka) holiday in New Zealand. Wonderful country, I loved it.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.

Today we drove from Wellington to Masterton. We saw many nice places and caches. Thanks for the cache!

Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!

13th day on our geo-roadtrip in New Zealand, and caching our way towards north. Logged using our group nickname FIN with janahola, laalaa and kapeka. After having a blast in South Island and in Christchurch Mega event, we had to start heading back home. Fortunately we still had few days left to spend in NZ while driving to Auckland.

Cache # 2,686 - A quick find this morning with Crystal Fairy. TFTC!

Quick and easy find. Pretty sure I've done a cache here before. Did with Wandering Dragons

#1354. I stopped at this cache site a month ago and had just started to look when a bus pulled up. The driver didn't seem to be going anywhere fast so I cut my losses and headed off. Today as I was driving past another bus was just pulling out so thought that's a good time to stop. I loaded up an alternate set of coordinates and checked where that led me too. Searched for a few minutes in possible hiding spots associated with that site. No cache was found so widened the search area and pretty much had my hand on the cache straightaway. Nifty container with a dry log. Signed this in the car as a shower of rain swept through then replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.

I arrived at this location with three sets of coordinates. It took me a few minutes to discover the cache - the type of hide caught me completely by surprise. After replacing the cache, I checked my GPSr map to find it showing I was between huhugrub's and wb1116's coordinates but still close enough to the published ones to say they are accurate enough. TFTC.

Looked at all 3 locations, with no joy. Like others, i found the GPS was jumping around all over the place. Tried the obvious places, and some not so. No luck, will come back another time.

No luck with this one today, GPS all over the place. Will be back

Found this afternoon after a short search. Looked first around where the GPSr was pointing me but no luck. Then I looked back through the logs and realised that the coordinates were bad, so used wb1116's suggested ones. These were good enough to get me to an obvious place to search, and the cache was then a quick find. Signed log, TFTC.

OK, I will be the first to admit to a DNF. Tried all 3 sets of coordinates provided so far, but nothing jumped out at me. Good luck to future searchers!

Another great find while on a long weekend away with just-Lookin & Princess Emily.

Took us a few minutes to locate this one.
TFTC SL

Found after a great deal of GPS jumping. I took coords from GZ which are different to those published as well as huhugrub's coords.

As another attempt, if you fail to find it, try
41 05.830
175 08.822

#6724. {FTF} @ 09:10. A “quick” park and grab at Plateau Road. The place was all quiet this morning. Needed to widen the search area a bit, and eventually found it about 15 metres away. For some reason, the GPS was hard to settle here, the reading was still fluctuating +/- 5 metres by the time the log was extracted, signed and replaced. The cache was in excellent condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.

2TF, an hour after Huhugrub.

Was away in the Wairarapa yesterday and didn't get home until late, otherwise would have popped out to get FTF on this when it was published. Had a few chores to get out of the way this morning first before I could take time out to go searching. Given that 3 people had this on their watchlist when I got up this morning I wasn't expecting to find a pristine log, so it was no surprise to find huhugrub's signature in the cache when I found it after a brief search. Needed tweezers to extract the log. All very quiet at GZ mid-morning and mid-week on a school day, but I can imagine it would sometimes be muggle central. Thanks for popping a cache in here.
