Very cute! Little battered up so tried to repair as best we could. Also grabbed TB
The cutest lil cashe I've found yet! Dropped off a TB here. Took a bit of searching to find, thankfully I had a helper on this one.
A bit easier to spot because the little hinges had fallen off and part was on the ground leaving cache exposed. Replaced back as best I could but needs a new hinge or 2. VERY cool and quick drive by cache in the rain. TFTC
Yes a bit of rubbish around.Great container - a fav from us.First to sign the new log & first for the year. Not sure what the last cacher signed.TFTC
Added a new log container - All ok. Not the best location. Picked up some of the rubbish around.

The door was open and the log was very wet so I did not sign, but very cute, despite lack of privacy
Coordinates are about 2m out. It's a easy find when you see it. It's quite out in the open. Good luck
Taking a walk around the bush this afternoon and collecting some more caches. After finding the last cache before we got a bit lost and for a moment struggled to make our way out. Got there in the end after a bit of bush bashing. Quicky spotted this super cute cache. Thanks for this hide.
Some one has set up camp at gz so felt uneasy being around there personal belongings, found something that may have been the cache but didn’t want to tamper with it
Shame we couldn’t find this one today, looks like someone is camping out right on or near gz.
Will come back and try again another time
Will come back and try again another time
Had some time to spare before a New Year Party kicked off, so did this cache. Very cute hide. The door latch was broken so used a stick to wedge the door closed.
Found with ruthhide. If you were caught short in the bush this would work if you were tiny. TFTC. Cache of the day
I was a bit way once I had dodged the traffic to cross the road here, and looked at the bush, but saw a bit of a geotrail and thought I'd give it a couple of minutes in between the rain showers. Suddenly realised I was only a couple of metres away so turned around and saw something! Lifted it up, and then almost wet myself laughing.
This was the best cache to find today, a great bit of engineering and construction.

Another very cool camo thanks Glyn .
Definitely a favourite Point... All good here.
Love it !

Parked just back from here and headed onto the trail to complete the loop and find 'a few'. Spotted the camo fairly quickly and raised a wry smile at the cache, outer particularly. Added name and put back together as found. Nice cache here, cache write-up was good, but not much to go on really though.
Heading back home from Devonport to home via 'this route' gave me a chance to make a few finds whilst en route, or sort of. There was rain in the air, mud on the ground, and green blobs to turn yellow so the game was a foot, or a hand(y) geocaching exercise, thanks to all COs.

Very cute little surprise. My partner made me follow him way deeper into the bush than what was required, but found it once we backtracked.
Very funny! Found it just as I was giving up. Not as far into the Bush as I thought.

What a cute cache! Very well constructed! Didmt take too long to spot the toilet. Haha! TFTC! FP given. (I didnt sign log because of covid but I took a photo of the log)
Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.

Another good cache found today with woolwood9
We enjoyed walking / driving around the area
*Thanks for putting out this container for us to find!*

We certainly made tough work of this one and it was only when we were giving up on it we found it.
Very good fun cache!

Awesome hide. Took a bit as gps all over the place. Once we saw the overall hiding location, the cache was there. Ironically my son had a code yellow moment as we arrived!!!
Decided to try for the caching streak and also needed and excuse to get out of the house for the day. So off I went for a walk enjoying the sunshine. I decided against going down the forest tracks because of rain and mud, so this seemed like a sensible grab.
I headed to GZ and had a quick look around. Spotted something interesting and there it was. Loved this cache worth coming out for. It gave me a giggle. Thanks for the cache and have a favourite point from me. #847

Awesome job. I think this is maybe only the second time a cache has made me laugh out loud (the first being the time a fake rodent made Mr Friwi jump). TTFC.
One of the best ones of our day. Loved it that much it deserves another fav from me. Tftc
Super cute find, took a while but finally got there, don’t need to go as deep into the Bush as I though
Spent a bit of time here as GPS was all over the place. Spotted in the end and when it's cover was removed, door opened, signed and returned. Awesome camo. TFTC
Out and about enjoying the warm autumn weather. We chose to visit this one while in the area as it has so many fav points and if located would complete our souvenir challenge.
Arrived at GZ and soon spotted something suspicious which turned out to be the cache. Added another fav point to the tally for a great hide TFTC.

Team G0LD ( Lis's Crew, DaffyNZ and 0B80B8 ) on a mission again with two main objectives today. The first was to locate all the Smile series caches that we had worked on solving over the last couple of months and the second was to find enough other high FP caches to get the required 500 points for the caching carnival souvenirs. With almost no local caches available for us, a trip south to Auckland was going to be the only way to achieve our goal.
Due to other commitments, Sat 6th was going to be the only day all three of us could make it and we hoped the weather would be kind, as it was for us on our last adventure. Unfortunately, not this time though, as despite the forecast being for mostly dry, with the possibility of a shower, we ended up caching in near constant rain till it cleared later in the afternoon.
This high FP cache was on our planned route today and once at GZ, could see why it has that many. A very nicely done hide that was not too hard, once you got the geosenses properly engaged. A fave here from me too. TFTC

Team GOLD Lis's Crew, 0B80B8 and DaffyNZ were together again. Out and about in Auckland targeting caches with high favourite point. This one was on our list and it didn't disappoint. Great hide with neat camo. TFTC
Team GOLD Lis's Crew, 0B80B8 and DaffyNZ were together again. We'd been working on the smile puzzle series and finally had them all solved. We decided to make a big day of it to collect them as well as target the highly favourited caches to earn us all our Carnival Souvenirs. It was interesting visiting all the highly favourited caches and seeing lots of different types of hides. We ended up far over our target for points easily earning all our souvenirs. We even had time to attend the cache making event and earn that souvenir too. This hide didn't take too long to spot despite it's clever camo. Very well done
Out at lunchtime, for a find or two to help the Carnival along and our numbers goal at the moment. Flailed around in the bushes for a wee while, perplexed as to what I was looking for. Then when I was nearly on the edge of available time, there it was. Oh my that is really cute and clever. I have to give it FP. Left a small trinket. SL. TFTC.
This cache was suggested to me by a Geocaching email for Valentines Day, so I thought I would check it out. However I didn't give myself enough time and had to abandon the search to get to an appointment. I'll be back!
TLC has been applied. Cache camo updated. The plant life has grown since the observation post was initially set up helping to conceal this hide even better.
First find today after a couple of DNFs up the street. Thought it was going to be one of those days for a while so pleased to have got off the mark with this cache. Headed into the bush and then realised I didn't need to go far when looking at the GPSr so moved closer.
Found when turned around and headed back to the road, best angle to look from. Opened up and enjoyed the sight - well done. Cache could use a bit of TLC as it is a little damaged.
Thanks for the cache.

Like others we initially went too far into the bush. Found it on the way out. Was partially deconstructed, so we've put it back together best we could. Nice and cute cache. Thanks so much!!
Couldn't find it at first, but then I spotted it - very cute actually, surprised me

Today we decided to visit the remaining caches we have left to find in and around Eskdale Reserve and Birkenhead Domain.
We parked up in the side street as suggested, and made our way to the Outhouse. The gps was pointing further on, but we knew we didn't need to go that far. Looking around we were in the perfect place to spy the hide. On closer inspection we saw that we had indeed found the Outhouse. Very cute cache camo here. Loved it, and adding a Favourite point. TFTC

I didn't see this cache at first so went too far into the bush. As I was returning the cache was spotted. Great cache holder. Fortunately I didn't have the urge to need to use the cache for the suggested purpose. Gave this a fav. TFTC
I must have followed the same path as the last several finders since the terrain matched and I spotted the cache at the same time in my search. Very clever. Left nothing (thank goodness). TFTC.
Our GPSes were both out here, sending us further than we needed to go. I turned around to have an actual read of the description as I hadn't yet, and spied something that looked very cache-like. Upon accessing the cache, I had to laugh and as Mr Kevosaurus joined me, he was also very impressed by the novelty of this one. We signed the log and then let the cache get on with its business! A favourite point from us for a very funny cache.
This was a great one. Opened up the description on my phone and it wasn't showing everything properly so I thought we were looking for the big outhouse in the photo. Went into the bush one way, and came out another but didn't spot anything. Went in again to have another look, and we stumbled upon it going back out. Not sure how we missed it the first time going down, but this was awesome when we revealed the cache. Love it! Tftc
Awesome construction! This one had us baffled for a bit, even going right past it at one point. We approached from a different path (and much more difficult one) and then noticed it right away. Loved this cache and you definitely get a FP for this one. Thanks!
Out and about caching over the shore and I have FMZ with me too for company. Originally he and I were heading to Rotorua for the day to chase down the souvenirs for the magical creatures series. But a few FTF's got in the way so to speak so ended up over the Shore instead and never made it to Rotorua after-all! We are picking out caches that we both haven't done and FMZ is deciding what they are as we drive around.
I had been here before but not logged a DNF it seems, I remember though it was very dark at the time, but today it's light and after a brief search we discussed the terrain ratings and continued our search, then almost straight-away I spotted something out of place, yes it was the cache! But got a real surprise when I took the cover off! Well done kiwiscot19. Brought a smile upon my face!

Some counter intelligence exercises in the area today brought us to this spot to neutralise the position. TFTC!!!
Out with the Auckland Geocaching Meetup group to walk around (more like squelch around!) the Domain. Found the ones in the centre that I didn't have, and then we all parted ways. Couldn't head home without finding the last two along the road. Found a track into the bush and stopped to search. Turned around and spotted something of interest. Turned out to be the crapper (oops, I meant cache). Very cool.
Part of the SEAC fun on Anzac day, this was one of my favourites. Had a great walk with good friends in the park. Thank you to all the CO's for their awesome caches. TFTC!
Very clever cache. I was with some Team S.E.A.C. Had lots of fun.
Thanks for the cache.

A group of us decided to head over this way after morning Anzac services for a wander around. We had lots of fun, tears, falls, bruises, laughs...the list goes on...it was a great day.
This was awesome! Parked as per description and headed on in. Laval made the find which was very clever and worthy of yet another fav point!
Thanks for the cache.

A plan was hatched for a few of the SEAC team, as well as some newbies, to spend Anzac day enjoying a walk around the Birkenhead domain and Eskdale Reserve collecting a few caches. After the dawn service and a hearty breakfast we met Keylev, Cragger, Laval, Hemaludy, UncleSam etc. at the Domain and started our adventure. As per usual we had lots of laughs, a few scrapes and bruises, a delicious picnic lunch, found many great caches and had a flat tyre! but a lot of fun was had! Thanks to the CO's for their hides and thanks for bringing us southerners to the north shore to enjoy this reserve.
One of my top favourites for today! TFTC!

We were in the area today in quite a big group from South and East Auckland so we signed ourselves as SEAC or TEAM SEAC to save space on the log. Caching today with us were darthcacher1, purply, keylev, NZIceman, cragger, laval, NZTravellers, UncleSamNZ and a family of newbies. Really clever cache here, we appreciate the time and effort put in to creating this cache. Fav point given.
A quick afternoon sortie to infiltrate the North. The Western team avoided the Assigned assembly area to evade surveillance. This strong hold of the North was unmanned, Sentry was AWOL. This allowed a swift operation to invade and leave our mark. TFTC
Took a look for this cache with YK83, taking a few moments to spot the outer camo for this one and uncovered this cool 'wee' hide. TFTC - favourite point added.
Vistra and I had decided to kick off the Planetary pursue this morning and had some caches we were going to target, along with grabbing some of the local owls from the Big Hoot. Close to the road so afforded a drive by, this was a well designed cache that we soon had in hand. TFTC
