Have often come to the park here and never thought to look for a cashe. Climbed way too high in the wrong place haha. Little ones with me found it . Thanks for the cache!
The name helped more than the coordinates which seemed to jump around a little. A nice day to be exploring. Tftc
Beautiful tree..odd as i saw the tree and was in awe of it in thr sunshine Beautiful crystal
Thank you. It was a really easy find but monkey skills needed. Loved the little treasure inside.
Visiting family in NZ and couldn't resist looking for caches Thank you for bringing us to this part of the harbour. TFTC
Very unique type of cashe! Had to climb a bit for this one. Log book is wet but still writable on.TFTC!!- MaxGamingood
M26: my brother Troy from Astrolovers, did the task and signed my name as well as his, TFTC.
Found with the help of my little helper. Hoped to have gotten this months ago but was way too busy. Much quieter today do retrieve discreetly
It was a very nice cache I like where it hiding quick easy access and find.
Being back in the area of Auckland and having some muggle friends with me I opted about for a nice (loooong) walk, and they joined me they seemed a bit exhausted after some hours so off we went to waiheke island to visit some vineyards Well foundTftc
Hard find, peel your eye balls and you will find, co-ordinates spot on so just keep looking friends
Found with some friends at a homeschool group meet up, my friend climbed the tree while we stood at the bottom laughing when she couldn't figure out how to get down again
This is more of a did not look than a did not find. Had a quick look in a couple of places which I ruled out, then needed to check another but already had people in the vicinity so decided to past up any further attempt and call it a day.
ABCDF4 and eyespyben had looked for this one previously but went away empty handed. Back with them today. We were able to spot the cache and made our way to it's spot where it was signed and replaced. Thank you for the placement.
Back up this way with KGD and EyespyBen
Nice to turn our Blue face into a yellow smile
Clever hide thanks

On another tidy up mission to Auckland with ABCDF4 and KGD , arrived at this cache and cache was soon located, signed and returned. Thanks for the find
Climbed the 3 trees I thought would be the location but could not find cache
Took a wee while, but after a climb, located it. Cache is dry and in great condition.
able to get a very good parking spot very near to GZ.
muggles appeared to take no notice of us as we collected this cache.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We are trying to wring one last holiday out of the season before we have to return to work. It was decided that we should have a mini break at Kawakawa Bay (Auckland) which was perfect for a caching stint. As Gap was still in town for work, we arranged to meet in the Maraetai-Beachlands area...
We managed to find a carpark in between some beach goers. The area seemed to be quite popular and people were everywhere. Indeed, a small group of young ladies were conversing animatedly within meters of ground zone. They didn't bat an eyelid as I hauled my body up to reach the cache. We are definitely the beneficiaries of recent cache maintenance... Thanks stevecoxnz. TFTC.

getting around to logging some of my finds, i found this a while ago with my mum Raven eyes, so the dates will be wrong, TFTC
Not our day on this one. Even after sending Geodad and two geokids up into the tree we had no luck. And that was in more than one tree. Hopefully someone else finds it soon and once we are back in the area we look again .
Los of muggles about this afternoon but luckily we had the GZ to ourselves. Spotted the cache quickly enough and then realised what we needed to do. Had some fun to grab this one. I might have to try out some more like this. Great views in a lovely location.

Fortunately, this one was located reasonably quickly by torchlight, thankfully with no muggles around to wonder what the heck we were up to. TFTC

We found the bottle and lid apart from each other laying between the two trees on the grass so we signed the log and placed in the tree closest to our gps coordinates. Sad that it was discarded the way it was. We tried to camouflage it as best we could. Thank you.
The wife and I are out exploring a few new spots out East, and we happened across Omana Beach! Gorgeous spot, love the drive to get here. A nice easy find, with a family working out to some great tunes close by. Log was a bit wet, which made for a challenging sign, but all good aside from that. TFTC!

We were out on a long walk today around the beautiful bays here and had the brainwave to attempt (and hopefully tick off) a few caches along the way.
This one was one of the many we tried - very impressed with all of these great hides out here!
Took much longer than it should have! GPS had us in one tree, then the next and then, yes, another one so gave up on that idea. Searched through all three trees and after 15 odd minutes spotted the cache in rather plain sight!
All in good condition here - like the method in hiding these clip ones.
