I am 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.
Hi JohnGillonThis geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

Saw this bus stop on the way to another cache and thought how lovely it was then on the way back realised it was our next destination! Beautiful place to hide some treasure. Thanks.
We found some bonus trash up there before we found the cache. A nice original hide, thank you
M24: Nice little stop and a nice little find. Log all good and signed here. TFTC.
found however has been pushed too far back and us shorties couldn’t get to jt 
Luckily I'm more than tall enough to find this one - was more making sure a bus doesn't think I'm waiting for them 
Looked for this on Friday and knew where I should look. Unfortunately I didn't eat enough vegetables so I'm not quite tall enough. Came back today with a taller child who grabbed it for me instantly.
Attempted this one after an eleven hour training course and at night to make it a tad more interesting. Nice quick find. TFTC
Around the corner to get this 5th of the day which might be the last (it wasn't, I played a 'round of golf' next). Parked across the way and started my search. After a while I got sick of moving litter around so set about CITOing the whole shelter. The bin alongside was empty when I arrived but nearly full when I left. Was tempted to claim my GC8NEAT cache but want that for later in the year. After almost all the litter was out, and my jersey covered in dust, I checked again and the cache was right in front of me and easy found. Did my bit, and then some, nice hide here.
It's the last day of May which means winter will be with us tomorrow so better head out and get a few whilst the weather holds on a little longer, lucky we're not in Canterbury. I went for a few out Beach Haven way as it's an area that I've not been to before, and has a few options for finds. Managed a pleasant half dozen as well as a DNF (which was missing). Thanks to all COs for their hides.

3:44 PM Plenty of rubbish so we did some CITO. Not sure why as there is a rubbish right outside the shelter??!!
Nice hide.

Had to wait for the neighbour to drive away before taking a look. I saw a lot of rubbish before what had to be the cache.
A nice one for beginners. Make sure you time it right so the muggles don't spot you
Took a while to get back here. Extended myself with a really good look as there was heaps less rubbish so it didnt feel so gross, poking around.
Nice easy cache! A previous log about the height pretty much gave it away so after that the cache was spotted instantly! TFTC!
Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.

I spent more time looking for it but I think this is a case of it being in plain sight and me missing it. So many muggles on their evening runs too.
Found it in 10 minutes this was my first ever cache. Nice hiding spot though you need someone tall. 
Came down here while waiting for my takeaways. Unfortunately didn't have enough time to find it. Only found a couple of dusty cans in the roof. I'll come back another day.
Hubbie stretched himself after a hard day of training. Then we found the cache, thanks for this quaint busstop cache.
Found bus shelter but nothing else. Full of cigarette butts so smelt terrible and didn’t want to linger ️
After waiting for a bus traveller to depart... and waiting... and waiting... we headed off in search of a certain Piggy down the road. Piggy’s treasure duly located, we returned and were able to grab this one before the skies turned black and the falling precipitation became too great to continue our afternoon’s treasure hunting.

Nice find with team BDM looked in the wrong area then and found it. Clever hide, tftc
Found on a evening hunt with brand0n and darkangel. We looked around for far too long for this one, but both darkangel and I stupidly overlooked this one after searching around it many times. Brandon took one look and had it in his hand, while the rest of us just sat disappointed in ourselves. TFTC, clever hiding spot.
Current score:
Mikefnz: 3
Brand0n: 2 !
Darkangel: 3

Surprisingly it took us a while to find. It's an easy cache though. Not much loot so we left some.
I decided to get out of the house today and go for a little geocaching and Pokemon. I was aiming for a couple of caches today, but the one near the roundabout was cordoned off with caution tape and there were muggles hanging around, so it was time for the second option.
I got to GZ and after a brief search, between the few muggles, I had it in hand, signed and replaced. It all seems to be in good condition, and the bus stop was nice to take a moment out of the sun.
After this I decided to grab something for lunch and whilst sitting down I spotted a Rottweiler running out in front of a car, a second later he was heading over in my direction and disturbing other drivers. I called him over, fortunately he was wearing a collar with a number. The owners soon came and collected him, so this little caching break helped to reunite a dog with his owners. Thanks for the cache. #801

After the Hobbit movie weekend, we stopped at this Heritage Bus stop and soon retrieved the cache.

Back in Auckland for a few days and visiting the areas we used to live. Stopped off here on our way down to the wharf. A quick find here. Nice little bus stop. Tftc
Found a bit of rubbish and many eight-legged friends before we spotted the cache. Bigger than expected. All in good condition. Tftc
Were stumped on this one for a bit (no, that's not a clue) until we read some previous logs which helped us figure out where it would be hidden. Quick find once we realized that...
Chasing down caches for the Creature catch. Popped out this afternoon to see what we could find locally. Accompanying YorkshireKiwi83 for a few finds this afternoon. A very quaint bus shelter. There should be more like it. Took a moment to locate it. SL. TFTC.
