Well done. You really have peppered the place with caches. Makes for a good walk about the place. Thanks for all your caches. Tftc
Opps caught in a snare. Finally got close enough to snare and sign the Red Bison. There was another in a Palm tree nearby that escaped me however
OMG - so many people having some sort of celebration right by GZ. Think I managed to retrieve, log and replace without being seen (people mostly engrossed in their own conversations) but a close thing. Glad it was in the first place I looked though or it might have been a different story. Thanks for placing TheWonderStuff.
**21,918**Was a bit apprehensive on approach GZ that this could be a difficult cache to locate with the playground and cafe close by but the very nicely concealed cache was spotted, removed, log signed and replaced without any muggles being any the wiser. TFTC
All quiet in the area at night. Only one place a cache could be with description given.Thank you TheWonderStuff for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 5253
M26: spotted this one at first glance, signed the log along with astrolovers log too. All good here. TFTC
The bison wasn't the only thing snared here. GeohoundandI got to it before me and ended up snared with cobwebs. I thought it was funny, she didn't.
Inspected other object at GZ first then realised another much better place for this hide! Nice one too!TFTC TheWonderStuffI'm logging this hide as my 10671 find.Brief Saturday visit in Albany. Enjoyed my several trips by using public transport AT Metro : Bus 324 from Favona to Otahuhu Interchange ->> Easter Line train to Britomart ->> NX1 to Albany ->> NX1 to Britomart ->> Southern Line to Otahuhu ->> Bus 325 to Mangere East ....
Didn't quite know where to look initially.We were preoccupied with the lovely smell of bacon cooking.Lovely hide here...thanks TWS.
Out with miniAG getting a onesie from Farmers, and collected a few caches before heading home. TFTC

It's a long weekend so I came down to Auckland from the Far North for a few days geocaching. Friday I cached in Albany picking up lots of new TWS caches. Saturday I headed down to Huntly collecting mostly AdLabs. Sunday I wanted an ftf so decided to finish of the Hauraki and Takapuna area in the morning and do the Silverdale/Orewa area in the afternoon. I parked in a paying carpark along the roadside here without paying hoping no-one would check in the short time I was here. Initially I had the wrong idea of where it would be hidden. The phone soon told me I was getting colder so I followed it till I snared and tagged that sneaky red bison. Thanks again for the loss of bisons from your boot that have been carefully released in Albany 
After some creative parking by Mrs KC, we hopped out and soon had the cache found. Signed and replaced with care and ensured it wouldn't go too far.
Out and about on our regular Sunday morning excursion with Team Welsh, this week targeting the new placements around Albany.We parked near by and, while making our way to GZ, were greeted by the delicious aroma of frying bacon. No problems spotting the Bison in its snare. TFTC
Out and about with Mrs NZT and the general Albany area was the target. Unfortunately some event at the stadium meant we had to avoid some of the areas but we were still kept pretty busy!Found this one easily on approach to GZ.Thanks for the cache.
Keylev and I decided to spend a few hours in Albany collecting a few caches while the boys were otherwise engaged! We didn't really plan our day too much and realised our mistake when we saw several road closures for an event at the nearby stadium. It sure made parking a bit trickier but we managed to enjoy a few hours caching and lunch nearby on a showery Saturday.Now that the road closures were in effect we headed over to the other side of the Albany lakes area. This one was a quick park and grab as more and more cars were arriving to attend the event. TFTC!
Once again, I am in the general area to collect the elder future finder from his course in Rosedale. Also, I need to run an errand for Mrs LC at the supermarket. Time enough to grab a couple of finds while in cache city. I parked up near ground zero and got to searching. One potential ground zero stood out to me straight away. Closer inspection confirmed the find. Cheers for the cache placement!
I just about leapt out of my chair when I got this email, bolted downstairs and jumped in the car. Thankfully traffic hasn't yet set in too badly, so I was able to get to GZ quickly, parking on a nearby side street. I found the cache in the first place I looked, and was rewarded with a blank log for the {FTF}. TFTC!
