"Breaking the Drought" (Onehunga) Onehunga, North Island, New Zealand
By Stik-a-crane on 01-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7ME04

Visited the location recently, and have decided to not replace the hide here as it doesn't fit with the type of hides I want to do going forward.

Happy caching all.....

Checked this out today....and definitely gone.
Plan to be back with a slightly different cache, that will hopefully hide better.

Hope to be in play within a week.

Thanks for your patience.

Happy caching.

This appears to be missing.....Will replace in the next few weeks.

As rustynz has pointed out we believe we found the tether but no cache or log.

We think this cache has been muggled and needs to be checked.

.

On a meandering tour around One Tree Hill and decided to make a detour to find this cache. Well there was a bit of meandering being done around GZ, and eventually I spotted the tie, and sadly the cache was not see. Hmm may need a check. I hope it was ok, as I was travelling light, so I signed a piece of paper at GZ, but I suggest the cache might need a check?

Thanks for the hide Stik-a-crane, thanks for bringing me here

The new Covid-19 Level 3 allows geocaching in bubble groups of 2.... please abide by the local rules....

Happy caching...

Covid 19 lockdown level 4 .....no caching to be done.

Nice easy find to tick off a dot day TFTC

Took me longer than it should have lol . Awesome to see the tree in flower

I found it in a medicine bottle

Very pretty spot, tftc

Easy find! Waited for the school kids to pass then made a run for the bushes. Tftc

Found it, good spot

Found with Sportynz and the munchkin Indie007. Nice end to the day after an unsuccessful shopping trip

Tftc found with Lex007 and Indie007

Looked for about 5 minutes but I had a bus to catch so I left.

Bush walk!

nice close parking area, the hint could mean a few here, caching with my phone it wouldn't settle but i soon had the cache in hand, tftc

So excited to find my second one! very easy once I’ve read through hints hehe..

I had to be quick at GZ.
When arrived playground was empty but then one family showed up.
All ok.

Had popped to Dresssmart to sort out final gear for Tongariro Alpine Crossing next month and Mr Keylev was at a local building fixing a computer. As can happen this was taking longer then expected so I went to keep busy and find some caches.

Quick find in the obvious spot.

Thanks for the cache.

Swim with the kids at onehunga, followed by a quick gc on the way to lunch. Perfect school holiday day. Tftc

Every single tree other than the one it was in :/ hahahha

Damn those leaves are spiky. They sting! TFTC(:

Stoped in on my way home.

Daily found in November 2020. TFTC

Wow what an interesting story. Thanks so much for telling it and thanks for the hide .

a quick and easy grab for us while on a cache run in the area

What a funny little reserve right here!

Never noticed it before!

Thanks for the cache!

When I was a kid My aunty lived nearby. Quick find

Great spot. I was looking in the wrong tree, but Master 6 found it instantly. Thanks

Was initially discouraged by the earlier DNF, but soon found when I widened my search area. First of the day. TFTC

Nth here

Quite on a windy evening, good double container.

Had to wait a while for the playground to clear but then it was a pretty quick find! TFTC.

We found it GG

Yay been here in its earlier version and was never able to find it. Today was easier Enjoyed the birdsong. Tftc

See you on the other side.

TFTC love it very cute

Thank you so much ! (For replacing it) great little find to do on a Saturday morning

Tftc thxsm for replacing it, great little easy find

Nice easy find of the replacement cache here today, cheers

Iv looked for it with my friend for days, but yet not found it!

I noticed a few DNF's appearing here, and was contacted by a fellow cacher for an extra hint to locate this one.....so whilst I was in the area decided to take a look, and sure enough some work had been done in the area, and the cache was gone.

I have replaced the cache, and updated the hint, so all good to go.

Happy hunting.

DNF I can’t find it not sure

Searched all around but couldn't find this one anywhere

Found the sun lounger that people are speaking of, but no sign of the cache - might need someone to check if this one is still here?

I just can’t find it can you be more specific

My first DNF tonight. I found the sun lounger that previous logs referred to but couldn't see the cache anywhere. It was dark and I didn't feel comfortable shining my light around in the back end of a playground.

Log far to wet to sign...cheers V

Log was wet. Didn’t think we could sign it. Comment hints were useful.

Found it, but pen was broken?

Tftc

Nice catch. Quick find with Ryder today. Tftc

Ummm it was full of ants so too scared to open and log but tftc! Wasnt sure what to find then looked upwards thanks to previous finds

Good cache but toooo many Ants

A tiny diversion on the way home and I again have smiley faces dotted around home. It was nice to read about the history of Tin Tacks Corner. I knew there was something but not the details. Thank you.

Today I came to Auckland to collect some solved puzzles and this cache was close by. So I decided to go for it.
The hint was very helpful ! Nice and easy hide. Tftc

ありがとう！

Took a few minutes to find, 4 sets of eyes definitely helped. TFTC

A quick find close to home.

Looked everywhere we could think of.

Cute park. TFTC yes I believe ice cream is in order

#6682. I am up in Auckland for several days attending meetings and presenting a talk at night. After todays meeting at the museum finished at 3pm, I had a few spare hours before my flight back to Wellington tonight. So slowly making my way back to the airport via a few inner city caches. Suddenly found myself in Onehunga. Have done a few caches in this area previously. This one must be fairly new. Wandered to the GZ and after a short search spied the container. Signed the logbook and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache Stik-a-crane.

Found after having Wendies for lunch - TFTC

Came up to Auckland for the weekend to see Rodriguez/Sugarman but the concert has been cancelled. Well more time for caching! Loved the local story. Cache all fine although there was a sun lounger right below it. Looks like someone else may hang out here although it was deserted when we were there. TFTC

Took us a wee while but after a while things looked up and sure enough there it was. Tftc

I'm from Switzerland and spend 4 months in New Zealand on vacation. Found this cache after a few minutes search, thanks.

Hi I`m from Switzerland too and found the cache quickli too!

Had wanted to find this cache for a while. Thankfully there were no muggles at the park so while we enjoyed milkshakes and the swings we also quickly retrieved the cache. TFTC

It was a very busy day with kids in park and also at the nearby playschool. I was able to sneak in to a well-hidden area which gave me the opportunity to search for the cache unobserved. With a few clues from the logs, I knew where to look and spotted the cache quickly. TFTC.

I arrived at GZ and after a quick search, decided to read some previous logs which help zero in on the little blighter. TFTC.

I parked up and made the short walk to GZ. Upon arriving, the cache could be just about anywhere. After searching the obvious places and then the not so obvious, the cache just couldn't be found. Maybe some guidance on where to search could help. In the end I had to settle for a DNF.

Found after walking past it a few times. Logbook a bit wet. Jenny & rob

Found our first cache. Yay! Took us 2 visits to find it.

Yeahhh my first catch!

Out trying to fill in a few of the gaps on our map again this afternoon and as the weather is pretty nice there were quite a few muggles at the gz.thank goodness we made a quick find here before anyone had time to wonder what we were up to.

Another quick find as Mr P and try and keep the radius around our house cache free. T4tc

Great sunny day for our first find in nz

The excitement is real - this was our first find!! Little bit tricky to find but got there in the end.

Checked a lot of spots before finally spotting it.

TFTC

Very hard to find in the dark but a great spot

Being around 1k from home it was about time to go get it. So I did

was looking at the wrong place, until I read the hint. great little history.tftc

Another easy find with the kids. Playground a bonus

Had to look up to find!

Nice easy cache. Hopefully the first of a few today. Thanks.

We felt like a bit of night caching and thought this would be a good one to start with.
The park was deserted but also very dark so we had to use torches which made us feel a bit conspicuous but fortunately we managed to spot the cache quite quickly.
Nice hiding spot. TFTC.

Great hide, bit of a struggle. Found with ungrateful_friend after shopping at dressmart. Tftc
