Visiting Devonport this afternoon. It is incredible how different the atmosphere is, just 15min from Auckland central. Thanks to all hiders whose cache I visited today
After an early start this morning with kids activities, as I returned home there was much chat about an impromptu caching day in Devonport. Mr HeMaLuDy stayed home to chop firewood and I jumped in with Mr and Mrs NZT and NurseDr; Keylev and Cragger were also with the crew today. Logs signed as Team SEAC or just SEAC to save space. A clever hide here. Fav point
Out for another team SEAC impromptu caching adventure to clean a few up in Devonport with hemaludy nztravellers and keylev. TFTC.

Due to ghastly weather, my ferry to Rangitoto was cancelled, so i took a ferry to Devonport instead to explore Mt Victoria and surrounds. The weather's still atrocious but I'm loving it! TFTC from an Aussie tourist.
I'm visiting New Zealand for a tour around the country . I have already visited many places on the North Island and on the South Island. Now I'm staying in Auckland for my last days in NZ. While enjoying the sightseeing I also visit some caches. This is one of them. Thank you for showing me the place and thank you for the cache . Greetings from Switzerland .
After the ferry from rangitoto yesterday didn't stop here on the way back I decided that today was Devonport. Had a nice coffee, purchased some nice chocolate and got caught in the rain. Carried on up the hill from here. Spotted something and there was the wee cache.
#444Ants seem to like this one a lot! Added a new logbook as the existing one was full. Time to head up Mount Vic for some amazing views. Thanks for the clever hide.
Made this one harder than it shouldve been, but ultimately earned the smiley. TFTC.
Easy as pie, very nice good once you have done a few. Same deal with a few of these micros.
We are visiting some nice locations during the month of august : Singapore, New Zeland, Hong-Kong and Macau.A fantastic touristic and geocaching tour in these different countries.
