This has been replaced before and keeps going missing. Even the bricks are gone! Will have to look into another area that is less likely to be found by muggles
Glad got this one. Here with HennyGeo on holidays from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada in scenic New Zealand TFTC
Here in beautiful NZ with SwagHo visiting vacationing and geocaching around both islands.TFTC
Found previously but introducing my niece and nephews to geocaching. Has moved a bit since I last found it and it nearly had me fooled
Another summer visit to locate the unfound caches and turn them into smilies. Looked in all the tricky places before making the find. Replaced the very wet log with a new waterproof log TFTC.
Finally managed to get this one on a trip passing through. Not where I thought it was at all. TFTC
Stopped off to visit all my family as parents/sister/grandparents/quant and uncle are all here. Raining, cloudy, jumpy gps and I stepped over the rubbish a couple if times before recognising the cache container for what it was. It was on the ground by the fence and the logbook is wet and needs replacing. I 'nested' it in the most likely spot where I hope it is meant to be. Obvious place geocachers will look.
Didn't find the yellow brick road but found the cache ,it was found on our way to new Plymouth for Christmas with the in-laws haven't been to this place before .tftc
Stroll around the cemetary saying "hi" to rellies. Nice find. Brick road good clue. Thanks
Found on a weekend trip from Wellington to attend a wedding in Patea.
Nice straightforward find today (well at least it was for the missus !)

Took the long way home after the Mega. finding lots of caches in new areas. TFTC
No problems making the find.Weather is still not conducive for caching but cracking in. Heading to NP for a couple of day. Quick find at GZ. TFTC
Popped by last week by my gps seemed to be all over the place, this week stable as, no trouble at all, straight to GZ. Cheers
Way over looked this one, the gps was telling me to go somewhere else thanks to the weather, but stepped back and thought about it and BOOM found the cache in seconds. Tftc
Out for a day of geocaching around Hawera. As today was World Sauntering Day - the day to take it easy; relax, go for a stroll and enjoy some valuable ‘me time’, a day which encourages you to slow down and enjoy the world around you. So no excuses, time to go strolling looking for geocaches. Turned out it was the day for it, found 23 out of 24 caches.
This was a quick find then off to the park to find the next one! Thanks for the placement thatsneat.

On a little geotrip around the mountain with JayDubENT, Casey2201 and AABrown29. Followed that yellow(ish, not really) brick road right to the cache
Changed the log, bag has gone for a walk so will add a new one when next in the area. Thank you for the heads up.

Good clue. Good easy find to kill some time waiting for the girls to get ready for the day. tftc
On a trip to Hawera with NapierMooneys. With help from the hint found quite quickly
a straight forward cache while looking around Hwera. Good parking.. thank you for this cache and another smiley face.
Banian and I found this cache on our autumn northern roadtrip- where we did a circuit of the north island from Wellington right up to Raglan, then across to Napier through Taupo, before heading home, finding masses of caches and discovering a plethora of unique and interesting locations.
Found quickly as Banian tried for the other cache in this park, which I already had. TFTC

Quick find with the help of the hint. Then straight back to the car and onward to Wellington. TFTC
We are slowly picking off south Taranaki caches that we have not yet found, and today we took advantage of a birthday visit to do a spot of opp-shopping and geocaching. While there were few treasures to be found in the shops we visited, we did well with the caches we looked for and got ourselves seven smileys.
This was a nice quick find. Although there was an occupied car nearby, it was facing the other way and the occupant seemed involved in deep thought. Thanks for the cache.

Found with samanthaisabell, would have taken me a lot longer to find if sam hadn't have noticed it for me! TFTC.
Just a little put off by a car parked nearby with some youth in it. They drove off, we were more relaxed and found it. TFTC
This took longer than it should have but eventually we engaged the brains and then the find was easy. TFTC

.Found during the CITO at the weekend, a very quick Park and Grab once the muggles had moved on. Thank you Thatsneat. Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. TFTC! Blenheim Bear

Down for the C .I. T. O so a trail of us lined up to find and sign the log thanks again That'sneat a job well done
We just happened to wander close to this one while looking for rubbish at todays CITO event, so of course we had to take a short break from our work to pick it up, along with X.Dragon.X.
The car park was empty when we arrived, but then a car pulled in & as there was quite a bit of rubbish we continued our CITO here as we waited for them to leave.
Thanks for putting this nice straight forward cache here thatsneat.

first on my 2nd different cache types in one day, first being a CITO am colour blind, was it yellow TFTC
Was down in Wellington for a few days, and decided that I'd make an extra long weekend of it and transfer a rental car back to Auckland and cache along the way. Unfortunately for the rental agency that ment nearly tripling the km's they thought I'd put on it!
With the rental car company only giving me 48 hours to get the car to Auckland a little bit of planing was needed to maximise what I wanted to accomplish, and with only a few DNF's it turned out to be a very successful trip. So a big thanks to everyone who had placed caches along the way, and for showing me some great sight's along the way.
Day 2: Wanganui to Hawera and home via the Forgotten Highway.
Missed the CITO nearby by about 1/2 hour which I was hoping to attend if the timing worked out. A quick hunt around had this one in hand. Thanks for the hide.

Luckily you don't have to be a Wizard to find this one. Looked for this one after the CITO, being so handy. Thanks thatsneat - and it was!
I too was one of the attendees at the nearby CITO, who then joined the small group that wandered the non-yellow brick road to log this cache. TFTC
Super easy find here today although I was getting stalked by the co at the time.... ans funnily enough there is a lot of logs on this particular cache today.. why is that??? Tftc and the CITO
