I am not currently geocaching and feel i should open this area to other current cachers.
Soon saw the green pouch....but nothing inside....so we put a replacement pill bottle with waterproof paper inside...
Hope that's ok with CO.

Nice hide dispite the earwigs ... and the rubbish dumped near GZ. Beautoful day for caching.
A rare day that we had to ourselves and reasonably sunny as well, so we set out nice and early on a Sunday to enjoy some caching in the west. MrNZT started heading into the property, but that was not needed and MrsNZT found the hide quite quickly. TFTC!
between the showers if that was possible! it was a quick sneak in and there it was just staring at me! thank you for this cache .
Up in Auckland for the weekend and a few extra days staying with my sister in west Auck and trip over to northcote to visit a 102year old aunt on here birthday. so i was able to pick up a few caches around about and we even nhad a lovely day for our Rangitoto day.

Had to come out to Henderson today to pick up a part for my daughters car from Mazspare just around the corner, so headed over here afterwards to collect a couple of caches while in the area, cheers
Quick park and grab whilst in the area collecting a few things. Cache in good condition. TFTC
After a big tramp out the day before I enjoyed a late start into the day to allow the muscle sore to calm down. It still did hurt walking to GZ but it was good to stretch those muscles. Searched for a while before ignoring the danger signs to get to GZ. TFTC
No parking at GZ, so parked on Garelja Rd and wandered over. Stepped into GZ and hunted around. There is lots of rubbish here and a bad smell. Couldn't see the cache, and felt like I needed to be decontaminated afterwards
I was out this way for work, early for my meeting. What better way to pass the time than pick up a geocache to pass the time? Quick park and grab.
Great camo - even had a resident slug inside cache!
Pouch has detached from original placement but otherwise ok

Found on my recent trip to Auckland, I was staying nearby with friends and we grabbed this one on a walk to the nearby liquor store. Nice easy find, TFTC!
Out and about for some caching fun today, taking advantage of the splendid Autumn weather. This was my first cache of the day. I invented some parking and crossed the street. Popes my head into the bushes and spotted the hide. Repositioned myself to complete the find. Looks like the cache isn't attached as designed anymore. Cheers for the cache placement!
Quite an odd little spot, who knew factories and distribution centres could have some mystique about them. Well let's face it they don't, but still New Zealand success stories are still good when you don't have shared driveways with them in real estate for the over-privileged.
Anyway, I liked your hide much better than I liked anything about the actors involved with this company. Holiday weekend an ideal time to come and look. TFTC. All good here.

Needed a cache today to fill in my last day on the calendar - a quick park and grab on the way past. TFTC
Grabbing a few local caches today and started here. No troubles here and had the cache in hand quickly before the next shower came through. TFTC
Doing some caching out west. This spot has attracted its fair share of emptied then discarded drink containers. None of them seemed to be Charlies products though. TFTC
Found parking nearby, then had to wait for the area to clear before I could come and search. I spotted some tree's had been cut down, so was worried the cache might have been felled? Thankfully the cache is obvious when you see it, and is all safe and dry. Thanks for the hide
Last cache of the afternoon. On the way home now with Nodster74 to cook up some goat flaps and choko. Planning for a cozy Autumn evening with the cats tftc
Out for collecting a cache for my daily streak. this one looked easy and near by. managed to find it quickly. now heading for a drive around... tftc.
Back up in Auckland again for work but with a few hours to spare today I decided to go caching out West. I parked around the corner out of the traffic and walked back to GZ from there. Nicely constructed cache here. TFTC, Biggles.
Great concealment from the main road-spotted cache before I'd even read the description

I walked right past this one, then had to make an exit as a worker read the gas meter nearby in the street. I still looked at a few other places before I returned and made the find. TFTC.
Out for a stroll in the soggy around henderson valley this evening. Quickly saw the cache and signed the log in cover, promptly made my way out of the little wilderness to stand next the fence and greet passersby. Thanks!
Had arranged to met up with Trout-fly today to pick up as many drive by caches as we could. Had a great time finding 35/35 for the day, TFTC

Haven't tried any of Charlie's beverages.
Cute cache-pouch. But I can sense that there will be problems with dampness once it gets worn out.
Thanks for the cache!

If we were just 5 minutes later this could have been akward. Geocchi and I, having just signed as Geopaz, were getting in the car when a dog walker raced under bushes with fly already undone I don't know who would have got the biggest fright if we were still there signing. A close call tftc
After having a break during the hottest part of the day Vistra and I were ready to tackle some finds again, some were published whilst we were on siesta (if we had been in the car we may have even made a go for ftf) but that did help us plot the route we were now going to target. Took a min or two in the dark.

Having finished work for the year and being greeted with a nice fine day, yorkshirekiwi83 and I decided to head out and do a bit of caching. After spending the hottest part of the day out Manukau and Mangere, we took a break for awhile and resumed caching in the evening, plotting a route up to Kumeu and back again. Took a little bit of searching to find this one in the dark, but soon had it in hand. TFTC!

Had to wait for a very sick car to crawl past belching clouds of black smoke, before popping in and signing the log.

Nicely done witchegurl! A little cache a little out of the ordinary. Today is the day I'm off to do a cache swimming in a cave down at Waitomo: D5/T5 with a few fellow nutters, so an early start to the day and I thought I'd come here and get this one and another of yours before I meet evilno9 at his place at 6:15am! Thanks for the cache.

All quiet around gz today so a quick duck in and out, again signed as the 7th DOH! Following gorby around this morning. Cute container.
Previous finder signed as the wrong date so got me all confused at first. Soon had the right date and the log signed. Nice little cache.tftc
had to park a short distance away due to the collection of orange cones along both side of the road. Waiting for muggles in cars to move along. Ducking out of sight for a quick grab and sign, then on my way. TFTC
A bit of handwork gone into this container. Nicely shielded from prying eyes. All good today. Tftc
Had to be gentle with the button 2nd to find, but first to log... Thanks for the cache!
