Searched every tree in the area but like a few before us, we could not find this cache. Could the owner check its placement please?
Had a good look using the hint ...no luck today ..there a few trees around...but only one the fits the hint
I drive past this one quite often delivering the teen to college nearby, and today was no different....had the puppy in the car, so pulled into a carpark nearby to take the dog for a walk...given the time of the morning I had the place to myself, and the dog also enjoyed the little walk about.

Today was a dot day for us so we decided to grab a few caches this morning before having to head off to work later. Parked up nearby. Made our way safely across this busy road and found the tree we were looking for and grabbed this nicely cameoed cache. A very clean cache.
Took my nephew to school and convinced my sister to take me 
barefoot in my pj's looking for a tin hehe !!! So funnnn

Spent a really nice day caching mostly around East Auckland with supernannny and merlot58, and we stopped for this one on our way back over to the central city. Supernannny spotted the treasure in its hiding spot and we signed ourselves in. Thank you pakuranga_rangers for placing your first hide in this nice park, and giving us another smiley on our caching day 
This was a sneaky wee hide that we missed on first past but thankfully Nette spied something and checked further and there was the cache.
While waiting for Miss Davieland’s dance class to finishing I popped up the road to grab this new cache. GZ very quiet for a quick find. TFTC.
Wallked here & arrived just on dawn. Have never been to this park before so thanks for putting a cache here. Nice quick find. TFTC 
We had finished dinner and had just started watching something on TV when the phone made that familiar sound, a new cache had been released.
We casually looked to see where it was, not really expecting it to be nearby but when we saw how close it was we couldn't resist going for the First to Find.
Anyone watching us would have thought there was some sort of emergency as we went from being slumped in front of the TV looking at our phones to jumping up and flying into a frenzied closing of windows and jumping in the car.
We have previously thought this park would make a good place for a cache and even thought about hiding one here ourselves at one point so it's great to finally see one here.
Out GPS wouldn't settle at first and we looked in slightly the wrong spot but were soon back on the right track thanks to the hint and a methodical search soon revealed the nicely placed cache.
Thanks pakuranga_rangers for a great first hide and for giving us a bit of excitement to end our day.

After getting the alert for the FTF we decided to head down to cache as we don't live too far but only half way through are journey here we saw that TheCoblets claimed the FTF. We were disappointed at first but STF is just as good. Arrived at GZ we had bit of trouble finding it but soon claimed for STF.
