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 a prior reviewer note.
The trees have been cut down after what looks like cyclone damage - found the camo'd pill bottle but it was empty.
A little monkeying around and ducking under branches resulted in the cache in hand.
Thank you for the the cache.

Did not find anywhere spent 20 minutes trying to find with 2 ppl but still didnt find someone might have moved it
Cache is nice and safe even after the recent storm! Nice and easy. Let miss 6 take the lead 
Two caches for the price of one down this road. Parked alongside and headed to the likely host, yep there was the cache and signed up and removed some wetness from the container. All good and replaced same. Cheers JohnGillon.
Bit of a recurring theme for me lately on Fridays. Out of the last 6 Fridays I've been off and out the house nice and early and cached up a few in an area before getting back home and logging on for the days efforts. Last Friday was an exception where I took the day off and had a full day out, but today I was on the road just after 0530 and back to log-on on time. The good thing about getting up nice and early is the roads are quiet, the temperature is usually reasonable, and the tracks and trails are generally quiet too. The bad thing? I end up really fatigued mid-afternoon, but that's the trade-off I guess. Thanks to all COs for their hides that contributed to my fun this morning, and enabled me to drop off all my remaining 6 trackables to get them moving again after much 'visiting' caches recently.

Found easily though did get a little tangled in the branches trying to get to the cache with my big backpack on lol quick stop en route to Kauri Point. Tftc
I could see the cache just waiting for me to come and find it... "Hello" it said, "Let me be yellow and smiley." and so it was.
Forgot to log. Was from a week ago. This is our third attempt. Found it lying on the ground. No pen so took a photo instead. Have put it in the nearest hiding. TFTC!
Nice quick find. The geohound was even out the car by the time we had signed the log. TFTC
Nice and easy find with Daddypig123. Actually it was so quick he was still in the car with Geohound whilst I took the trainees to find this one. Great camo.
Cache 4 after a lovely coffee at Bungalow Cafe in Birkenhead...
Shook holiday fun tftc

Logged on phone as my first solo find but didn't get a smiley. Trying here, fingers crossed.
Cache and gem found Full log to follow
I after my work meetings in Northcote were done for the day, I headed out to see if I could find a few more caches and gems to progress the Mystery at the Museum quest. A quick find here. Cache found in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

Called by after work to make a couple of finds today. This was another nice park and quick find. SL. TFTC.
Found it .. out with Mr 5 for a spot of 'burn off energy before dinner' shame about Chatswood reserve being out of bounds but totally understandable. TFTC
Another chance to work my way continued on what I didn't clear off from last weekends trip. So once again an early start to the day followed by lots of laughter and fun while hunting for caches in the "Burbs" that really is Auckland.
An early start one again at "oh my god o'clock" which had me starting caching for the start of the day in the day. To date I have seen so many caches/gullies and parks in the dark that I actually think I have visited more with a torch than without. So much nicer to be caching in fine weather after all the recent rain over the last few weeks. Logs signed as "CD" to conserve log space
For the day managed fifty two and three DNF's so all in all not too bad and home by 2.30pm
Driving around from the otherside this was a quick find here without disturbing the neighbours at this hour
Thank you to all the cache owners who put in the effort for the game to keep us thinking about what is coming next.
thank you for the placement, thank you for the cache

Today was a good day for cache hunting. First a bit of rain but then the sun came out and we could enjoy the hunt through the forest and any nearby caches.

This was my last cache for today. I did the chelsea dog series and now this one and found this one easily on my way home. TFTC
Stopped in here as I was starting to wrap up for the day. Nice and quiet which always helps and the cache was soon found in a likely looking spot when I got to GZ. All good here - TFTC
Needed to go for a walk, so made the detour on the way to finding this cache. Loved how it was camoed, blended in well with the surroundings.
Thanks for the hide, and bringing me to this pocket park

We want to boost our finds tally on this day so, after dropping Sherrie off in Albany to look after one of our grandsons, I headed for the Chelsea Dog Show. After finding a lot of the dogs I crossed over the road and headed towards the next bushwalk to take me back to the car - Homewood Bound indeed. An easy find at GZ. Thanks.
