Logs
As there's been no cache to find for some time, 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.
Ah! been disabled since I looked up info for this one. The seat the corrds are at was in my opinion aluminium frame this not magnetic for the nano to attach itself too. Maybe the seat has been replaced at some stage.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Looked everywhere but as with the last few logs not found. Please check it cache owners.
In Arrowtown for the festival. Located a small number of caches after the main parade. Thought this one wouldn't be too difficult to find but that wasn't the case. Left wondering whether it was there or not. We certainly couldn't see it!
Took a long walk around the road to find when we arrived we could have crossed the road from the camp and walked down a grassy track. We always carry a small tool for these types of caches. TFTC
Brought the new magnet and supaglue to fix what I find 'cause I'm reallly that kind of person. Champion of the cause célèbre. That's one tight log. Thankfully it's not covered in glue as I was lol; checked the nano the next night, all good in it's place as I had to scrape some paint off to get it to cling. Heavy little sucker, no wonder the original magnet wouldn't stick. TFTC
14:04After abandoning our attempt at finding grassy Vvvverge we came here, and while Jake played on the swings we quickly found and recovered this cache for a nice easy find, we had trouble removing the log from the container though as it was very tightly packed in but we managed it eventually after a little persuasion, once the admin had been completed we replaced everything as found, all is well here, raf, tftc . Greetings from Bury in Lancashire, England.
Unfortunately this nano has lost its sticking functionality, but I found it as described in a previous log. Log re rolled tight and returned to the lid, which means that it can be removed without tweezers. This is a nice park, and the sun had just made it to the seat as I got there. TFTC
I used to bring my now teenage daughter here when she was one and we lived in arrowtown
Caching with RowenaD and CO Hilton. Had no tweezers so couldn't get log book out though
Returned with our dentist's tool and soon had the log out and signed. A grand little play area.However something weird happened. The nano lost it's magnetic-ness and just couldn't be replaced. So it is now placed between the slats and still on metal. Thanks.
Found on a fab day's geocaching here. Lots of cyclists about today. Tftc
As heading to an event by CO to celebrating putting out their first caches, had to come and grab one before the event. Well hidden and good spot, very happy no mini muggles playing here.
Easy find but devilish job getting log paper out. RECOMMEND TWEEZERS. Cachers need to watch that magnet doesnt fall out with log. Magnet only fits in base of container. Spot of glue in order.
love discovering new areas in arrowtown thanks NZANZ, found with PJJOB and Granvile86a
This is my 1st cache for the weekend - flew to Queenstown and have a rental car to relocate - doing a slow road trip with many stops (I wonder why??).
What a lovely little Park, "secret" indeed.
I was joined by a very elderly neighbourhood dog whose owner was concerned it had scared me away - when i had just finished logging the cache & been sitting so I didn't look too suspicious.....
Thanks for the cache, nzanz.

This was a beautiful little park hidden away but lovely for families in this town. Thank you for the cache.
Greetings from Alaska! I am in New Zealand with getatms+1 for a month just traveling down the road in a motor home, sight seeing and geocaching. Great little hide. This is definitely a secret park. TFTC!

Eleventh find of the day!
We were out today finding caches from Queenstown to Arrowtown. This was the eleventh cache we found. After finding the best route to the cache, we parked the car nearby and headed off to GZ. We soon arrived in the vicinity and began our search. Not over here, not in there before...... There it is!
I stealthily retrieved the cache, signed the logbook and replaced it as I had found it. Nice hide!
Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Signed the log.
Cache and contents were in good condition and coordinates were accurate.
TFTC!

On way to Arrowtown we saw this had been published so called in first but had been beaten to the FTF. Nice park, tucked away. TFTC!
(Joint) FTF! Got there about 30 seconds ahead of cantab02 as we eyed each other up: muggle or cacher? Hmm. 
Love these little spaces and green connectors through Arrowtown, TFTF.
Cheers,
G.

Thank you for placing cache. It gave us an excuse to come for a motorcycle ride to Arrowtown for afternoon coffee. We were about fourth or fifth to find.
