With over 400 visits it's a shame to archive this one - but its time has come.
Hmmm. This should be easy to find - might have gone. Will endeavour to check in next few days.

Could not find it no matter whether we searched left or right or under or over. Now that we are home again and logging we can see why.
Here to visit the museum with visiting MIL. Oldest son and I braved the strong wind to go out and get this one. It's NOVEMBER for crying out loud, when is it going to warm up??? Anyway, nice little hide. T4TC.

What a beautiful sunny day! Sat watching the fishing boat and the marina for a while. Thanks!
A very dark & stormy night - made the marina very spooky. We searched for a while & then realised it was laying on the ground. I expect it blew off it's hide! It may have been stepped on as 1 magnet was missing. The integrity of the case seemed fine & we put it where tyhe hints seemed to indicate but our GPS had been 5 m out all night. It seemed to hold ok with a peg leg mag but if easy for you it might pay to check on it. TFTC
After spending some hours at the amazing museum I found this while wathcing the boats go in and out.

A cold and windy day, so not many people loitering. A nice quick find on our day visiting Wellington - many thanks.
Nice easy find as part of a geocache loop through the city. Great weather for hanging around the waterfront. TFTC.
A very quick and easy find! A bit blustery today, so didn't have to fight the hoards off the get to this one.

Starting our time in North Island part of New Zealand now with Wellington. Have a few caches to do before we head up towards Napier. This was a nice spot to sit and view the harbor. Thanks for taking us here. G is getting all the kudos for finding caches today TFTC SL
The late spring southerly still making things unpleasant for muggles. Found, signed log, and replaced.
Just needed the map and the clue to find this one. (GPS wasn't getting any signal)

We were not sure at first if the cache was on the upper or lower level. But was an easy find in the end.

#919 (10/11 on a wlg afternoon). Wasn't sure which side of the railing this one was on. I went the wrong side, but still ended up spotting the cache first. TFTC.
Having just found another cache in a similar spot, I was pretty confident about where it would be and was rewarded with a quick find.
Thanks wharekumara - My last cache on the first day of a quick visit to Wellington from Melbourne.

Nice quick find doing the waterfront walk on the way back from Oriental Bay. Pleasant spot with hardly anyone around mid afternoon. Great view of the boats. Thanks wharekumara.
Revisiting, and dropping in a TB who came with, picking up again. Did not find a large enough cache in Wgn to leave this guy.
Found it quickly on an evening walk in Wellington - no muggels around. Took some nice photos of the night-skyline of wellington
thanks for showing

Went out for a quick find during my lunch break. It was windy and drizzling a little so not many people around, though a little hard to use my laptop. Good location though, thanks for the cache.
Third time lucky. I'm new to geocaching and tried two other caches earlier but couldn't find anything. TFTC
Cold enough to keep muggles to a minimum, not cold enough to look suspicious sitting down. TFTC in a lovely Wellington spot.
Had to keep an eye on the local boys on their bikes and boards while finding this one

There was a girl sitting at the other end of the bench so I had to be very discrete. Thanks for the cache
Easy find although it was muggle central today. Luckily the muggles were more interested in watching the wedding party having their photos taken.

Found this without too much problem late at night in the freezing cold, having failed to find two other caches by torchlight, so thanks for making it not too hard to find!
Nice easy find by the waterfront. 10th kiwicache for Sinbadsfriends on tour from the emerald isle. TFTC
A very quick found after a visit to Te Papa, because it was fallen down. I put it back. TFTC
Had the privilege of having our conference dinner in Te Papa Marae tonight, and after a night of good food and wild dancing (!), managed to convince my friends to let me detour to pick this one up on the way home. They think I'm nuts. They could be right! Thanks for the cache, wharekumara.
Visiting Wellington after a 30 year absence. Now living in Montana, USA. Nice place to sit and take in the view. Sunny winter day. TFTC
Found whilst strolling along before a play at Circa. TFTC. Wellington certainly uses its waterfront well.

Nice lunch spot ... enjoyed looking at the boats, and the children enjoyed playing nearby.

Thanks for an easy find despite the herds of people around here today.I had no sooner grabbed the cache when a young couple sat down beside me, fortunately they didn't stay long. TNLNSL TFTC.

Struggled along to this one in the strong winds. Here with Edvern in the wild weather. Needs a new log PLEASE. No room at all. TFTC
#251. Mr and Mrs Northwood visited town to see the Monet exhibit and managed to do a spot of caching as well.
Fairly easy find, nice spot on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
There is not much room left on the pieces of paper others have left as a log.

Not a good time to got hunting during school holidays and lunch time. Easy find TFTC
Really nice little spot to enjoy the Wellington harbor! An easy grab the morning before taking a couple of tours of the city (a walking tour and a bus tour). Thanks for the cache!
Easy find despite all the people out today on an absolutely superb Wellington day. TFTC
With a howling northerly wind coming in from across the harbour, I had to be sure not to let go of the cache or contents while signing my visit! Quite the appropriate sculpture nearby too - facing today’s wind at just the prefect angle. Thanks wharekumara for Te Micro-cache! Regards, 38degsouth - Vic, Aust.
Found with Imgettingannoyed during our 3 n half week NZ mega cache mission!!

Had to loiter for about 10 minutes waiting for the area to be clear. No trouble once I was able to get access. tftc
Nice hide next to the fishing boats! Logbook is full and geo-hunters are just adding scaps of paper for their log. TFTC
We came from The Southern Island and stayed two nights in Wellington. This was the first cache to find.
