Couldn't find, we had no gps but have been back since with one so we were in the right vicinity but no luck at all
We were in the right place according to coordinates, and a small clearing on the left, but no sign of the cache. Will revisit and try again
No luck the GPS had me looking in the wrong place, wasted too much time looking as it was getting dark so used the clue but too late to see any thing will have to come back next time I over this way as it was a nice bush walk after MTB around the coast to get the caches around their.
Found it after pleasant walk up hill in gorgeous weather.
Our GPS said we were still 200m away from cache--was glad my
son ignored my instructions and dashed into clearing by stump!
All in good condition and dry.
+stickers, brooch, deck of cards, -paint/stamp, water balloons.
Thanks!

Enjoyed the walk up to this one - nice to stretch the legs after a few simpler caches.
GPS co-ords were a bit out but we found it with the clue.

I reached this area after finding some of the Hutt Valley caches and went initially to the bus barn but wasn’t greatly impressed with the terrain so I tried the recommended track. Parking seemed to be at a premium and so I parked on the flat and was already puffing when I reached the track proper.
Luckily I got my second wind on the zig zag section and made it to the GZ in around 25 minutes. I had stopped to admire the view and noted a big rain bearing squall slicing across the harbour. I found the cache easily but hastened to log the find and skuttle back before the rain. I had just started the car when the rain arrived.
The views were impressive and I would like to explore the further reaches of the track in better weather.

Just checking to make sure all is well. Cache still in good condition. Took TB Smile as it had been there awhile and was probably board.

Nice walk, first time I've been up via Kowhai St. Cache in very good condition. Took about 20 mins to find - many places to hide a cache in the bush and my GPS pointed 7.9 metres away from the location of the cache. GPS reception is patchy but is okay in the vicinty of the cache.
We have come of age with our first FTF Yipee. Enjoyed the views and the hill was good for the heart!! Had to look a little to find it, had overlooked it earlier. Took TB Funky Chicken and Highlighter pen. Left TB Smile and pinball game.
Have placed Funcky Chicken in this cache, so for the time been has become a New Zealand native bush hen.
