Looks like this one is gone.

DNF. Very obvious spot, but no cache. Very likely, it had gone missing

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I found the hole. But wasnt going to put my hand in it

Staying in Rotorua for 2 nights as we make our way around New Zealand. No luck here today. Another Didnt Find It log to the growing list.

This is to let everyone know this GC has not been found l am the fifth geocacher to chit out recently. I have messaged the cache owner letting him/her know/them know the cache is missing- having checked previous logs a photo tells me its a mint colour blue is definitely muggled. I got no reply back for my efforts. Looked over the fence under all ALL the growth for the entire length area NOTHING. This cache needs immediate maintenance

Didn't fine it no luck.

Def not here any longer.

Found the spot we assumed it should be but nothing there.

read through past logs and given the state i came onto this owner might want to check

A messy one!

I think I have the correct location despite the GPS not showing this to be the case, and after an extensive search, I came up empty-handed. Where my ph leads me to GZ, there is no hidey grotto, so if anyone else finds this cache before I head off, then I will pop back for a better hunt.

Tftc

Tftc. Caching with Jennyfromthefarm

Came to the park as we were transfixed by the steam and wanted to see some geothermal activity. Stayed for the caches. Thanks for placing these ones TFTC

Getting some outdoor time in this morning before the rain, thanks for setting the caches to get me out and about

Found it thanks

No sign of the cache

looked for awhile for this one, in, around under the trees and rocks, and unfortunately could not find it!

Had a second try and found it

Nevermind! One last quick look before we left and we found it! Very clever hide

Found

Nice spot

Listo

Yay! Found after looking around many stones and trees! Very well hidden! Tftc:)

what a funny hollow... TFTC

Staying in Rotorua for three nights, we came for a look around Kuirau Park, which we last visited in 2001. It's safe to say that it has changed a lot in that time...After a lovely wander through the park looking at the geothermal features, I headed back to the car for our picnic, stopping off for this one en route. The coordinates got me close enough to spot something suspicious & I revealed the cache. The logsheet was very muddled so I signed in a space before replacing everything as found.Found at 13:16Cache #10416TFTC PheasantPluckers

It is time to complete a couple of AdLabs in Rotorua and any nearby real caches.This is another in Kuirau Park that I just had to sign off whilst doing an AdLab.Cheers for the cache, PheasantPluckers.

Thank you!

Found it! Its actually a cave!

I found it. It was in an eclipse mint box. There was a sharpener and a pencil but I already brought a pen. It's like a cave because it was in a small cave under a tree.

Wasnt sure about this one, as a confirmed arachnophobe.but I managed to track down the cache without encountering any critters! TFTC

Logbook is wetNice parkGreetings from Spain!TFTC!

Found it, also distracted by the rocks. A nice area . Thanks for the find

Even though I am not scared of spiders, this was kind of creepy. Tftc

In Rotorua with rattll. Not my first visit to Kuirau Park, but certainly not geocached here before, so able to pick up a few trads as well as the adlab. No problems finding. All well, signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

There was a muggle parked up, looking in the direction of GZ. As I sat down, pondering how best to search without looking obvious, matagouri wandered over with the cache in hand.Thanks for setting this up

Upon arrival in Rotorua did a small walking tour down town and watched (and smelled ) the thermal parks. Picked up some caches along the way. Tftc

Quick find with my foot. Cool hiding spot.

Didnt take long for Kimbathelion to spot this one. Well hidden. Tftc

"Kua kitea! Thank you! "

Started in the wrong place but found when I reread the description. All good at GZ and TFTC.

Distracted in my search by the big rocks until I moved to something more fitting for the cache title. Thanks for adding a smiley to my day.

After a quick pit stop at the nearby facilities, then a little look around GZ the container was soon in hand.

Sneaky little hide, log book all filled up! Left a coin for good luck

. A day in Rotorua with McJandals collecting new caches. Spotted the hiding place but do I put my hand in there. Grab a nearby stick and poked about to see if anything was alive in there. Braved up and had the log signed TFTC
