Archiving this cache as it's tricky to maintain

Didn’t find

DNF

Looked at all kinds of post and ground, couldnt find

No luck today

Grabbed this one but noted the co-ords a bit out. Follow the hint. Thanks CO for the cache.

Quick find once we widened our search. Popped in to the gallery while we thought about things. TFTC

Very well hidden

Road trip! A relocation of cars from Auckland to Wellington and return and a weekend trip away with rustynz and Rebel98 just 2 days this time to get the Geotour caches in Wellington and up to Wanganui, New Plymouth and then home.

Rusty decided we would come here. tells us the co-ords are out and gives me the adjusted co-ords. Still though, it took a few minutes to spot the correct post in the dark. thanks for the cache.

We arrived at GZ, and after reading a previous log, we changed the co-ords suggested by a previous cacher. With the help of the hint, was searching the obvious (after searching other "posts" that we thought where obvious!) and I could see in the plant material the cache, beside gorby's foot

A fun find for us today. Thanks for the hide FalconLover4Ever

Dug around. Used huhugrubs co ords and found cache with rustynz and gorby

Log later

I used the co-ords given by Huhugrub S 41° 12.833 E 174° 54.240 as the given co-ords are quite a bit out, after that it was a very quick find (actually by Talla64 while I kept an eye open for muggles). A busy day today in the Art Gallery, with lots of people visiting the exhibition. Thanks for bringing us here, and Tftc.

Out and about with Flowerydaze today and thanks to the corrected coords by HuHu-grub and the clue made this a quick find while Flowerydaze kept an eye out for muggles.TFTC

(# 5494). Came out today to grab a few caches. A quick find once I realised the coordinates are bit out and there could only be one area the fits the hint. Everything in order. TFTC

Needed to read previous logs. Fortunately a quick find then (about 18m from co-ords).

Nice quick find using the hint, found with my eldest son while in the area, TFTC

We came down to Wellington for bro in laws birthday and to visit grand kids etc for a few days and so i thought i might locate a few nearby caches.
It was definitely a kids surprise. Huhugrubs co ords were very accurate and so it was a quick find, and i recommend that they are altered on the cache page. and yes... the minute pencil is still there but i used my pen.
Thank you for this cache and another smiley face.

Unicorngirly, finds another one

Found after scratching around with Kimmy+co

Out with geeves90 a quick find on the mission to secure the jewels in Mystery at the museum.

Was about 17 meters from the listed coordinates.
Slightly damp

#7253. I was sitting at home on the computer doing odds and sods. Solving a few puzzles (a few more shields) and generally getting cabin fever as the wet cold drizzy day set in. Eventually decided I did need to get out so put on the gumboots and raincoat and headed over to the Hutt Valley. I wanted to pick up 4 caches today. This one also had a clue for the museum souvenir hunt so that was a bonus. Fairly quick find in the second place checked once I opened my eyes. Signed the logbook and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache FalconLover4Ever.

#11,273. A park and grab in Lower Hutt. Fortunately, GZ was pretty quiet at the time of our visit. After widening the area, it was a relatively quick find at about 17 metres away. Yes, a little surprise. The cache was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for the placement and for bringing us to this site, and …

Checked everything within the suggested 17m but no surprise for us.

TFTC and the footprint in mystery at the museum. Definitely the activity logs helped for a quick collect on a rainy Sunday. Cheers

Found between showers with DVH. Followed the hint. Another clue for the Mystery at the Museum. TFTC.

Greetings from an Auckland cacher. In town visiting my parents for the weekend. Did live here most of my life.

Quick find once I read the hint.

Quick find once we read hint and ignored GPS

The microcachers were more interested in climbing the trees so weren’t much help but we found it in the end! TFTC

Wandering nearby, and decided to see if a cache was to hand. Quick find when you take the other logs offset into account. Tftc

I checked on this cache today - it's all fine and dry too

Second try with this one.
Unique container
Quick after having a fresh perspective.
Found with IamMagikarp299

Second try with thid cache, had a look from a different perspective and found immediately.
Found With Cracklingman

Quick find when at hint object some metres from GPS location.
TFTC

With people present inside the building normally I would be more hesitant, but with assurances that they know of the cache I was a bit more relaxed in my searching.

Had a hunt around in the location the GPS was pointing me at and it seemed reasonable for the hint, but didn't turn up anything. Another interpretation and I was looking in a different spot, eventually putting my hands on the cache. All good here. TFTC

I've been at an embroidery class here all weekend, so have been nipping out between stitching breaks to try and locate this elusive little critter. Finally tracked it down 17m away from where my phone GPS pointed, but a location that makes sense with the hint, and now that I have found it, the title is more meaningful! TFTC.

Nice one thanks

Tried to find with Cracklingman, but we couldnt find. :/

Found it. I'll add a more comprehensive log in a few days.

Thank you

Out and about in the area this afternoon, and I thought I should get the new caches around here sooner rather than later as they may not last very long. I was a bit surprised with this one, it wasn't where the GPSr was leading me and where I recall that the original hint indicated it should be. Instead the hint must have been updated and the cache moved, as it is now about 17 metres away from the original coordinates. Could I suggest that the CO update the coordinates? The cache didn't take too long to find once I ignored the GPSr and concentrated on the hint. Signed log, TFTC

As I had messages in this neck of the woods, this cache was tempting so I pulled up at the spot and checked the map. An object seemed plausible so I loitered and looked. Sure enough there she was.
Signed in the car and returned to it's spot. Hopefully the seal will hold during the coming winter, fingers crossed.
Thanks for placing the cache in a convenient spot on this still autumn morning, cheers.
Off on mitre messages!

I was out this way for work this morning. Decided I'd look for a couple of the recently published caches while I was in the area. No worries here a reasonably quick PnG. Cheers and TFTC

Was making my way around the Hutt for work and decided that I might as well go and look at picking up a cache for the day earlier than later as I was quite sure what the weather was going to do. Saw that there was a couple of new caches published last night and was tempted to go for them but had already found a cache yesterday so decided that I would leave these caches for another time.

After finishing my appointment at Petone I decided to take the back route to Lower Hutt for my next appointment, well it was a short detour of only about 1 block so it really didnt affect what I was doing, as I neared GZ, I managed to find a safe parking spot across the road from GZ which was just over 30 metres away.

I had to wait a few minutes as the council refuge collectors to pick up all the recycle that was within a few metres of where I was parked, once they had left I had the opportunity to go and check out this cache. As I was making my way to GZ, I checked the hint and wasnt quite sure what it meant, but I decided to trust my GPSr and once at GZ, I soon spotted something and upon closer inspection, I soon realised that it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced the cache back where I found it. Thanks FalconLover4Ever for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (14395).

Now it is time to go back to the car and make my way to my next appointment which isnt too far away.....

Finally getting back into the swing of things after a hiatus resulting from moving home GZ.

Unfortunately when this was published I had just returned to Wellington from the Hutt!

Today as this was a very easy find I was able to sneakily grab the cache while people were inside the building but I wouldn't particularly recommend it unless the Society is aware of the cache (hopefully they have been informed.)

Familiar territory as although I haven't visited the society our indoor bowls club used to use the Hutt Bowling Club over the road.

I have a friend who does art here and had an item in the recent exhibition but unfortunately I was too busy with moving to go along.
