Hi folks, thanks for your comments, I’ll perform maintenance on this cache mid-October when I am back in NZ. Cheers!
Nette searched one end while I did the other and she found the cache watched by a pair of ducks
Stopped here for a lunch break. Looked at one end before trying the other and finding the cache. Thank you for the placement.
We love this park - so nice to pay it a visit. Also great to see another cache pop up in Puke (even though we see this one used to be in action). Thanks for the smiley .
Hi all, I have replaced this cache after it went missing. I invite those who previously signed the log to do so again 
. It is in a very slightly different place to before, but the same Co-ordinates will get you to GZ no problem. Cheers !

We have never been to this park before so it was nice to have a look around.
We parked on the main road all the way over on the other side and walked over the short bridge to access the park.
There were a few softball games going on and some spectators enjoying watching them, a real community atmosphere and great weather.
A couple of children said hi as we walked past and told us a bit about Spider Man.
Once at GZ we had to be stealthy as there were two children playing nearby. We said hello to them but they didn't respond and seemed to have no interest in what we were doing at all.
The cache was quite exposed and we could see it as we approached so we have tried to hide it a bit better with some natural camouflage.
Thanks Saxmann99, a great first hide in a lovely spot.

Thanks everybody for your logs & comments. When I first placed this cache there was plenty of natural concealment provided by Mother Nature, but the council has been through and removed it all causing the cache to become easily visible. On 5/3/22 I checked it after a comment that it wasn't concealed and found it in the wrong place, presumably moved by curious muggles. I have replaced it in its original position and added some concealment. If this issue persists I will look at moving it slightly and updating the details. Cheers all
Congratulations on your first hide!
All good here...
Pair of ducks were having their daily bath!
Good to stop and stretch my legs on my drive to Hamilton.

Great hiding place, kids missed it a few times but found it after a bit of rumaging, tftc.
This one was close to home and I pretty much thought I knew where it was. I should have read the notes, however when I got my thinking cap on and re read the notes it was very clear I was in the wrong spot. Quite a few people walking their dogs here today. Once at GZ I could see the cache no problem. I have tried to hide it a little better with the help of some wet dead grass. Thanks for placing a cache here. FTF #80 for us today at 11.27 AM
I have left the gift for the next finder.
