A shame as I loved this location....but obviously some of the neighbours do not as it repeatedly gets taken....
So time to go .

Found this sitting in my drafts, as I have forgotten to log.

Was out for a nice walk around the area, and realised that there was a cache close by. Made a small detour to find this. Thankfully not too many muggles out and about and the cache was soon found after digging through some soil.

Now I see this cache is archived. So sad to see it go, as the area is lovely.

A nice quick find. Pretty quiet at GZ. Thanks.

I'm in Auckland to house sit while my mother is overseas visting family. Today was the first caching day, the weather was fine but the ground was damp in places. I hope the weather holds but I'm not holding my breath!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

After cycling and caching my way from Sunnyvale to Henderson, I turned around and rode through Henderson Park, down the Opanuku Stream path, which I'd never been on before. I really like this path - nice and peaceful beside the stream, and I even saw a couple of people out riding horses. Came out on Henderson Valley Road and saw this cache was nearby, so a little detour to GZ where I had to park my bike up and make my way to the cache. Good description, great hiding spot, lots of dirt inside the container but I think I got most of it out, and the log was all fine. Nice to see a family enjoying the nearby playground too.

Thank you supernannny for placing it here Smile

Travelled up to Auckland for the Mega this weekend and to visit our daughter. Stayed the night at Glen Tui and got up early for a bike ride and some caching. Good to combine two of my favourite pastimes. Enjoyed this cache with all the birds on the water. Cache and log all fine. Thanks for the smiley.

What a lovely spot for a cache! No probs with this one supernanny.

Have replaced with new container once more.
Have noticed evidence that about 38 concrete blocks have been stolen from the top of the crib walls....
This is happening in Sunnyvale too on walkway under train bridge sadly.
I am sure the residents here must have seen something suspicious....
Shame.

I vaguely remember another cache in this reserve a few years back. Nice place. Only found the log paper at GZ but no container so may need looking at.Tftc

Having to pick up a friend out this way later on, so figured I'd get out here early and find a few caches while I'm here!
First cache of the day today, got out to the luxurious Peninsula and had the cache in hand quickly. Hopefully avoided drawing too much attention from the young family on the playground.
TFTC!

Heading out with Merlot58 for a short while on a sunny Sunday afternoon to collect a few local caches. This was our first stop, and after a short walk we were at GZ and found the cache in the first place we looked. We had a bit of trouble exiting the walkway as the gate wouldn't budge. Stopped to check out Robbie's plaque before leaving the area.

What a cute wee park. We made sure we were sure footed around the edge and at go I stopped to read the hint and realised I was standing right next to the cache so a quick find with Jag50

I had an appointment in Henderson this morning and decided to leave home a bit early so as to hunt out a cache beforehand. Parked nearby, checked out the signage regarding Robbie, and wandered out on the pier. Once in the right place the cache was quickly spotted. Thanks.

The blocks weren't going to budge so it must be....

Diary of a Serial Streaker.
DAY 5; Once again I was lying in bed hoping it would warm up when suddenly Mr Pazza gave me a sudden urge to head off streaking again. It was too far away for the bike which meant happy hounds piled in the car instead. We were slow to see the notification, so when I saw a red Suzuki parked on the road, I figured I was too late. Nope. I had to read to cache page properly before I realised where to look.
A very cute cache. Thanks for bringing out the 'inner streaker' in me Supernanny! f/p
