This is my first Geocache ever, thanks for the cache. With my crazy friends after a dinner party, dodged the raindrops.

Here for dinner with nutter team SEAC and showing my friend her first cache. TFTC.

I had a bias as to where I was looking, but nufrat was able to look at different places and found the cache. TFTC.

Out with Agazo today, I knew this could be a problem, we both searched high and low, then something different showed itself, tftc

Nice hideout. Watch out for the resident earwigs. Tftc

Extremely weedy area but the hint makes it much easier.

cool idea for the cache

Awesome and unique tftc

For the first time in several years I am spending some part of the working week down Manukau way, in the mornings, before returning to the city in the afternoon. This gives me the opportunity to collect a few hides between jobs, so to speak. I figured that this hide would be "suitable" for my work attire given the terrain rating and it was. I parked up nice and close to ground zero and followed the instructions on the cache page. A brief search and I was soon signing the log. I certainly appreciated the view as I headed back down this road. Cheers for the cache placement!

As we approached GZ we had a fair idea of what to look for, but explored a few other options as well as we circled GZ. It turned out our initial thoughts were in fact right and the cache was soon located, signed and returned. A clever hiding spot.

A pretty cool one and also like the user said buetiful and stunning view
Really enjoyed it 10 out of 10

Look for ages then finally figured out the hint. Just wondering what GZ is.

Making our way up the hill through this new subdivision, was impressed to see how much had changed since I last was here a year ago. MrNZT again made the find and signed the log, then we went to have a look at a section that some friends will be soon building on. Very nice views to be had indeed. TFTC!

Such a cool cache to find! Was my partners first “super cool” find as he is calling it! Definitely worth the find! Beware of working muggles though

A nice little way to start the new year, doing a bit of caching. We had been just sitting around home after seeing in the new year the night before and got to the point where we just wanted to get out and enjoy the day. So, a little caching excursion was planned. We looked at some of the caches out in the Flatbush area which wasn't too far to go.

Last night, we were talking with a fellow cacher who we knew had bought a section out this way. Of course, as a mad keen geocacher, they were telling us the location of their new section in relation to the nearest geocache. So we decided to come and visit this cache and see where they had bought. Well, what a view they will have. We had a look around and then started looking for the cache. It didn't take long to figure out where the cache was and how to find it.

As we were searching, there was a man somewhat up the road washing down the footpath or driveway in front of his house. We have a feeling that he may have been watching us as these strange people were doing some strange things in his neighbourhood. Luckily, he couldn't see us actually searching due to the foliage blocking the main activity from his line of sight.

Out enjoying a walk to grab several Flat Bush caches. This was the final one for today. Ive not been around this area before so thanks for putting a cache here. Unbelievable amount of new housing. Loved finding the cache. Without the hint it would have been quite tricky. TFTC

I've been out of town for a few months and I saw this request for maintenance pop up, as you are a Newby with no finds I figured you didn't read the description, I was correct, the cache is still tucked in its hiding spot for all the find and sign.
Just for future reference please don't request maintenance unless you are 100% positive it has been muggled
Thanks

I think someone stole it

Awesome hide

In the area after delivering the teen to college for the day, and had the MPI puppy along for a ride, so decided to let her out for a short walk nearby.....spotted without too much trouble, signed in, then carried on with the walk....not too much longer as the rain was getting heavier.....

TFTC.

First grip and found!!!
Of course not without reading the hint in the description...
Looks so deceptively real, which makes it fit in so well.
Tftc

Great find

Wow....when I arrived at GZ I just PANICKED....

Then I thought maybe I should read the description..... and I immediately calmed right down and went straight to the cache!

Thanks!

We met up with Team Welsh this morning to find a few caches around the site of NZ MEGA 2020. We could park quite close to GZ and began to search the structure here, but without success. Then one of us read the hint and the cache was soon revealed. Thanks.

Another subdivision.
Found with good counting.
Thanks for the clue.
Great view.

And the new subdivisions just keep on popping up! I remember when this was all farmland and Redoubt Road was very rural. My counting skills didn't fail me and Nette spied the cache just as I was counting down, it blends in very nicely but stands out if you know what you're looking for. After signing the log we admired the view and headed home as the forecast rain was heading our way

A read of the cache page for this certainly helped and the nicely camoed cache was located. Many thanks for this cache.

Couldn't find it at first, till we looked again... such a creative way to hide it!

Found with keylev and NZIceman.

Thanks for the cache.

**15,657**
Saw these new releases come out but we were too far away for a FTF challenge but decided to detour here on our way home to collect them. A nice easy find, once our counting skills had been tested. TFTC

FTF log to follow

We were out on a walk placing some caches ourselves when this and three others from the CO came out.
We briefly considered an attempt at the FTF but decided against it suspecting someone closer would go for it.
Later in the day we were heading into Manukau and detoured to pick this one up but as we have a few dot days coming up we decided to leave the other three for those.
GZ was very quiet and we realised when we got there that it is very close to the spot a friend of ours is about to have their house built.
After a quick count across and down we soon had our hands on the cache.
Nice placement, blends in very well.
It's amazing how quickly this area is growing, we remember when there was nothing here at all
Thanks for the placement, we look forward to exploring the area further when we look for your other caches.
