Am yet to find it but I’ll be back when I have time.
I feel like I’m close after seeing comments about the smoke containers but I was starting to look dodgy as it started to turn to night

Lovely plant flowering currently on other side of track...

Thought we would be in for a hunt but luckily it was found quickly by torch light. Cheers
Found it quite easy. Thanks to the hints and other comments. First find for us.
It's in a black container but it was really hard and there's a lot of smoke tins and I was so shocked that there was vape juice in the container we threw 8t in the bin
Didn’t have long enough to look here. It may need checking as the aggies are getting a lot of damage and people seem to be having trouble.
It was super fun and quite the adventure . And we bumped into a Stanger that new were it was but didn't tell us
We were on a mission this morning to find caches that are big enough to place trackables in. This was the second of the day ... plenty of room in the cache. Dropping in: "The Frog".
Our first ever geocache found! We didn't have a pen so couldn't sign but will know for next time
On a slow drive up to Auckland for the Mega next weekend. Stayed the night at the freedom camping on the beach and got on my bike this morning for some caching. Great cycle paths without too many people around. No problems here. Cache and log all fine. Thanks for the smiley.
Came over to Tauranga to get some caches to reach the souvenir challenge for November. nice quick find here today.
I'd found this one a little while ago but can't remember when. Cache found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. Feels like forever since I've found a noodlekidz cache and it's hard to believe only 2 (of 42) of your caches are still active... I doubt these 2 new placements signal a full blown return to geocaching but your presence has been missed. Cheers mtncat and TFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… The next instalment of ‘Reach the Peak’ began today. We were looking to get a jump on the challenge, so we set off on a small road trip.
Like others, we remembered the former cache in this location. Our iPhone gps took a while to warm up, so we traipsed up and down the path until we got a better lock. Thanks mtncat and TFTC.

I also remember a cache hidden here that was really tricky to find. Fortunately this time the placement was good, so thanks for that.
Gravatt Road is extremely busy today. We have run through this alley way a few times. All good here thanks mtncat
I vaguely remember another cache in this area which took some locating a few years back today was much easier not sure its lily of the nile ..
More like aggie of the pilemany Mtncats cache all good and dry

I remember an old cache in this location that was considerably more tricky. This was a quick and easy find, even though the neighbour was only a few feet away around the corner. TFTC.

We had just finished dropping the kids off at school when Mr Taylana checked his phone and saw that a pair of new caches had been published nearby! So we rushed down there, unaware that this alley existed despite driving past it countless times, and after some hunting, managed to track it down. TFTC
We hadn’t realised how close to home this cache was so there wasn’t the urgency required to get there. While enjoying a morning coffee we noticed it wasn’t too far away so jumped in the car to go and have a look. Just beaten to the post by Kimbathelion who was sitting in her vehicle close to GZ. Nice to meet you. The area was quiet this morning which helped for a quick find. Retrieved TB. TFTC.
Working from home when this popped up so had to go & see if I could find it. Took me longer than it should have but another FTF @8.36am. Met another cacher (half of rosmar) after I had found it. Nice to meet some other cachers in my travels. Picked up the TB & dropped Sylvester in. TFTC
