I don't geocache much anymore. Maybe somebody else can make use of the territory.
I think this is no longer there. Evidence of fire as if someone has thought about burning the building down. Perhaps CO could check? Thanks.
I'm new to geocaching, this would have been my 2nd cache, but unfortunately I failed to find this one. I'm sure I had the "Love Shack" in my sights and had a very thorough search with helpers. Hopefully I'm just bad at looking and this one hasn't been muggled.
Out on a Saturday afternoon drive in the area. A nice reserve. Interesting to see the Scout hall. TFTC
TFTC. Found not exactly at GZ, not exactly under a corner either, but close enough anyway. A good diversion from a bike ride and a quick snack with a view. Cheers.
Sorry to advise that this has gone / found two lids of the same size - one with geocache written on it- and some strewn about booty but nothing else . Needs replacing or archiving ( left the lids under the shack)
Found it quite easily with "Keasqu." Was fun to find and is a good starting cache.

Oddly enough when I found this cache and was looking at its contents, a guy on a motorbike rode past through the middle of the park!

Find 02 of 04 for the day and #1753 in total.
Missed the turn off to this one & that sure made it way more difficult to get to.
Great views from the cache, would have been better when the trees were shorter but great none the less.

("\(0o0)/") Thanks for the caching fun!

+Found it with Dandynz geokid and geomutt. Nice little green area among the houses. Tftc
Geokid's log: Found it but my arms were too short to reach it. Grandad, aka TabbyCatUK part 2, got it for me. Geomutt made three new friends while we were looking. TFTC

No car still, so managed to convince the other half to take me here in his work van - yay!
We gathered up, and kinda scary being a passanger up these roads! Phew! I'd rather be doing the driving really!
Got here, and the Love Shack was not what I was expecting!! I was still wondering around when my brother found it - obviously half - sticking out! So we signed, and went off on our way. Yay!
Consec caching day # 758

My first visit to this park, parked at the bottom and walked up the path to the right but it was a bit of a struggle getting the stroller up the steps. Came back down the other side and it was much easier. Enjoyed the great views and the playground. TFTC, took two long lost geocoins to move along.
Back in operation and stocked with four travels bugs and coins that were left here by mystery person who didn't log them.
Walking the puppy in this reserve, I noticed my cache more or less sitting in the open and the lid missing. Disabled.
Update: There were four trackables in the cache, none of them logged. Some have been missing for years. The two trackables supposed to be in the cache weren't. What the ?

In CHCH for a day or two. Found this cache in a bad state of repair. My apologies for the late entry
TFTC from France ! I left a shark I found in a cache in Canada.
Beautiful sunset over the city.

Not out in the open like someone a few days ago, but such a lovely spot for a treasure hunt!
Just having lunch in the park and wondered if there would be a cache here, thanks for the reason to walk up the hill, awesome view of the city
Found it - cache was out in the open and after reading the title I joked - that is probably it there and pointed over my shoulder and lo and behold the cache before my eyes! A very quick and easy find, but one the cachelets enjoyed. TFTC
I loved this hiding place. The views today were magnificent. I dropped a travel bug off.
Easy find but a good excuse to take a rest biking up the hillHad a few dnfs today so good to get an easy one. TFTC. Grabbed TB.

Quick and easy find. There's a few more logs registered in the log-book that aren't registered here yet. Must be holiday-makers on the move. Dropped in my TB Fortune Favours the Bold. 
Kids and I needed to give Mrs TheWanglers a few hours to herself. We ventured off to find the next best playground. This one is fantastic. It doesn't look like much when you drive by. All you really see is the tennis courts and a grassy patch. We parked by the scout den and my five year old was extremely impressed "Dad there is 3 playgrounds!!!". The cache was easily found and is in good condition. We really thank you for bringing us here, wonderful spot. Keeping the streak going.

Found with ayeffay while on a hunt for JMG's Racer TB's.
Moved the Blue Racer to a new home.

Just a quick visit to drop of blue racer car TB. Thought he could do with a visit to the eastern suburbs whilst enjoying his journey around our fair city
Loved the park, the view, the tennis courts, but didnt find the cache. Oh well will have to visit again sometime. Take a picnic.
Reasonably easy find, once I'd avoid the CCC workers tidying up around the reserve. TFTC. TN:Left a Toyota key ring. #43 for us.Maintenance visit. Replaced log book. No sign of the missing "My 2 Cents" TB. Otherwise all well.
