Edmondson Whanau TB Marae Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By Waru8 on 16-Jan-16. Waypoint GC69VB5

Motorway being built

That one is disabled for almost a hole year. Cache Owner was not online since August...

Kia Ora all,
Unfortunately the Auckland City Council will be putting a motorway through the property and the Edmondson Whanau have now relocated. I will update new coordinates.

Has not been found for 4 months ..
Needs checking please !
Had a good look at gz today ....

Having the afternoon to fill in before my flight home tonight I went in search some of the caches around the airport. I stopped here as I had one last TB to drop before I left NZ. I searched for a while, much further afield than my GPSr was indicating but had no luck finding the cache.

Had a good look along the fence line but couldn't find anything, which was slightly disappointing because I thought a Regular would be quite easy, and I hadn't found a Regular in a while. Hopefully it is there, since it seems like a popular cache for TBs.

Couldn't find it looked right along the fence line

We must be blind as we couldn't find it. Hope it is not missing as the inventory shows a lot of TB's.

Nice cache! Dropped another TB off. Tftc!

Great cache! Added some toys and two TBS, took a juggling ball. Nice to find this hotel so close to the airport. TFTC.

Ronald McDonald is still there.

Easy find. An awesome sized cache. Unloaded a few toys. No tb here. But I left one. A cool Ronald McDonald tb. Let's hope this gets off safely from here. Tftc

A nice QEF here this morning. TFTC

 (4704) Found on the way to the airport.
Thanks for the cache.

A day off for sree before starting of new job. Thought to find the final of Multi country cache today. This was on the way. It took only few seconds to find the cache due to its size and placement. We got muggled by an elderly lady who thought we are doing something mischievous.. (May be we are.. ) Cache is all good except for some missing trackables. Swapped some goodies.. TFTC..

Awesome find

Had made a special trip out here to capture a few new caches in the Puhinui reserve hopefully between showers. Really wet and soggy out here today bit this cache was nice and dry.

Last find for our trip out to Puhinui Reserve since it was on the road back. Nice find but thought we'd been muggled - looks like local resident and not bothered by us hanging out by their fence. Didn't drop any travel bugs but stocked up the cache with a couple of toy cars so there is something for the next visitor and grabbed a small rubber duck to convert to a travel bug. TFTC.

Arrived at GZ to find a woman with an iPhone in hand wandering around somewhat vaguely. She spotted my garmin and asked if I was geocaching. We looked together and soon found our quarry. She had a TB she'd brought all the way from the UK. I'll help it on it's mission to travel to Australia when I head in that direction next month. In the meantime I'll take it to Wellington. TFTC

Found this cache with my mum Geogarley TFTC signed log. Bumped into another cacher at the same time

I had just left the car to find this one and realised I had been spotted by a muggle....then seeing the GPS realised it was a fellowess cacher! Nice to meet you.
She said she would be going to Australia soon so I gave her the travel bug I had brought from Wales that wants to go to New South Wales!
Geo-daughter and granddaughter, Geosian and I were in the area to find the 2 centered cache nearby, we did but muddy!

After picking up a couple of caches in the Puhinui Reserve I quickly found this one so I could drop a TB. None of the other TBs on the inventory are there TFTC!

Found while using up some spare time before heading to the airport and catching my flight back home. *TFTC Waru8, #9004*

Up in Auckland for the long weekend doing a bit of caching and visiting family. Stopped by here on our way into the park took a TB
Tftc

Found it! Awesome idea cool location

Wowzers - what a lovely cache full of surprises! Only 2 TBs in the cache although several more are listed in the inventory. I took them both and left 1 we'd recently brought to NZ from Singapore. Thanks much

On our New Zealand trip we also found this cache

TB drop: "Milo the Little Traveller" and "Da Froosch von de glastiger"

Thanks for the Cache
Anke and Chris

A quick find and our first stop for the afternoon. There was a young boy riding a motorbike over the fence but as his back was turned we swooped in and found the cache. A nice sized cache but no sign of any of the trackables listed. TFTC!

Our 300th cache! And what a big one it was - one of the largest caches we have ever come across. I hope it lasts here for a long time and doesn't get muggled as the kids were excited to see such a big one with so much swag. Took one toy and left several little ones for future geokids. TFTC

Out picking up some local caches with Miss Davieland. Nice quick find. Wow, big cache!! Picked up a TB. TFTC.

Great to find such a decent sized cache, a rarity these days.

TFTC

very cool!

Found today on the way to the airport. Dropped 3 TB in here. Please move them on. TFTC

Time was running down when I arrived at this nice reserve. I had to leave beautyfull NZ this evening (I don't want!) and so this was my very last stroll. But it was a nice one! I walked around this cosy area and could find another six nice caches. But that's it now! Back on duty in Germany.

It was really a great time and I say good bye. Hope to see this lovely country with it's very friendly inhabitants again one time.

Thanks a lot for the caches.

Enjoyed the area and collecting another cache while holidaying in the area with tmann421.

TFTC

Another great find while on holiday in the area with Just-Lookin.
Soon had the container found.
Thanks for the fun! SL

Many thanks. A quick stop and a good sized container, Tftc

12.10pm - No travel bugs here today. Cache all okay. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We have a few caches earmarked to visit today before heading home...

A pack of dogs tore down the neighbouring drive and we worried that they might alert the entire district... but they were well behaved and fed. Apart from them and the jogger, the area seemed fairly quiet. People obviously have far better things to do with their Easter Monday... The cache was found quickly, as it is fairly obvious. We checked through all of the compartments for TBs, but none were resident. TFTC.

Well organised TB cache and a great place to watch the planes TFTC.

Find number 31 today out of 34.
In Auckland for the afternoon/night from Tauranga before flying to Australia tomorrow. I was hoping to find some TB's here but alas, no luck.
The cache was easy to find, but took a few minutes to find the logsheet, a lot of compartments to search!
Thanks for the cache!

Nice big cache. Took 1 TB and will drop him off somewhere later today. Tftc

Missed track able by 2 minutes.... All intact

Had some time to kill, so decided to kill a few caches as well! This one was cool, nice and fresh and new! little aprtments for this and that. I left Butterfly Black TB too. it wants to head to Aussie!

An enjoyable find, cute location

Qtravel bug swop

After abandoning collect caches from Puhinui Reserve due to some event happening there, I decided to collect this cache on the way out. This was a quick and easy find. Decided to leave the TB's for someone else . TFTC!

Was gonna drop two TB's at "International Departure Lounge Mark III" but couldn't find it so have dropped them here.

I have never seen so many TBs in one place, it certainly lives up to its name, and a great view of the planes too.
TFTC

Quick park & grab on my way to the airport and dropped off a TB (And I confirm Mr Tomato's comment "TB "BK Bug las islas" (TB49HD9) not here") TFTC

Great quick cache! Dropped off two TBs.

TB "BK Bug las islas" (TB49HD9) not here. (Probably uplifted by [kakesnz](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=5b112d4d-f142-4958-bfb3-556a0501a591).)

Tftc. Very good cache. No TB though.

Excellent cache! Generous in size & swaps. I took a care bear & left a loom band bracelet.

Good size and lots of swaps for the kids.
Tftc

Awesome find TFTC.replaced gift.

This was a great find easy access TFTC!!!

Out for a few quick park n grabs. Thanks.

TFTC geocaching day today

Nice, big cache & a quick find. Took a TB. TFTC

Another quick find while we killed a bit of time before a flight. Good cache, will remember it for when I have T/B's to move on. TFTC

Took trackables. Cool big cache. Tftc

Had time to do another thanks

Quick stop off while on the way to collect some passengers at the airport

Up in Auckland again for a few days. Plenty of time to spare today to go out and find a few caches. What a neat idea. It didn't take too long to find this one. I swapped a couple of trackables here. TFTC, Biggles.

Another tb inside

Nice quick one with 10centnz tftc Lokky 1 25 January 2016 10:50

Vistra and I were here last week and bingo a few new caches popped up, so called back in on our way back from the Eastern suburbs to grab them, parked near site and the dogs came to great us, read the description and realised it would be ok, so searched and quickly found, TB in TB out

[u][Teal]New Zealand Geocaching Adventure 2016 Labour weekend in Turangi visit [url=http://www.nzgeocachingadventure.nz/]New Zealand Geocaching Adventure 2016[/Url] [/Teal][u]

After a part day of caching out East Auckland with yorkshirekiwi83, it started getting a bit too hot for us, so we headed home, but via the airport to find some of the recent caches out here. We were only out this way the other day and this cache was probably sitting in place waiting to be published! Parked across the road and soon found this good sized cache at GZ. Dropped off 2 TBs to continue their travels. TFTC!

Out with lokky1 for the morning. Quick find. A nice big cache to dump some tbs which is nice since they have not fit into any thing else recently!

Good location for a bug motel, hope it does well, and gets plenty of business.

TFTC

Good size, hope it lasts
Added pencil, took 2 tbs
Thanks!

Had emails issues with notifications today resulting in the email not coming through until 45 minutes AFTER the release.

By that time the FTF had gone but as we also needed a cache for our streak it was a pleasant drive out to GZ.

Cache was quickly found but not before a passer-by stopped and asked what I was doing and I just knew they were fellow geocachers who had just found one in the reserve itself.

Great sized cache and with Mrs NZTs Dutch heritage I took the "Wooden Shoes A Walking" TB.

TFTC

Well done Chanellewaru, on this FTF. Very impressed, and not a premium member to boot.

Found ... had been out at the airport doing a message & thought it would be rude not to stop in on my way back & do the cache ... I had a TB that I've had for a wee while & as it's aviation related thought that this cache, being handy to the airport, would be a good place to drop it ... also, we are heading up north tomorrow & then over to the USA shortly, so I grabbed 3 TB's ... I'll check out their criteria & will either drop them up north or in the USA ... great place for a TB Hotel ... Took 3 x TB:Left 1 x TB:SL ... TFTC ... #1,110 for us.

Stoopid rain. I only needed one more find on the first day of publication for a challenge, and had already missed the FTF, so I took my time to get ready for my second caching trip today. As I went to my van, it started to rain. Stoopid rain. I still went over to GZ and waited for a pause in the precipitation. It was a quick grab and I took it back to the van to open and to sign the log out of the rain. Stoopid rain. Took: The Travelling Typhoon TB and ticket number C 003. When is the draw for the big prize? TFTC. Stoopid rain.

Ftf awesome cache and area, left some tbs inside
