Some time ago I posted a reviewer note advising that you have 1 month in which to maintain this cache.

More than 1 month has passed since I posted that note, however, you have failed to fix it.
This cache has therefore been archived due to a lack of owner maintenance.

If you do decide to repair / re-enable the cache then please contact the reviewer who first published it in order to discuss whether or not the cache fits the criteria for being un-archived.

Have checked on cache but could not find it. I will re-check and if found, the cache will be re-activated.

The park is now open for business again as at 1 December.

The location where the cache is located is closed to the public until sometime in December 2011. The cache will be made available again once the location re-opens.

Note to the owner: can you please temporarily disable this cache. The park will be closed to the public from tomorrow 1st July until mid December whilst the pest eradication exercise takes place. The cache will not be accessible again until the park re-opens. Cheers.

Got my logs mixed up.
This is the correct one.
Easy find, but not sure what the clue relates to.

Quick find on a very windy day.

Nice area, found cache after a short search. SL TFTC

NZ11. Happily the rain cleared as I entered the park and I was able to explore a few areas. This one was successful despite being distracted by the nearby equipment. Thanks.

Took a bracelet and put into another cache same day. tftc

Gorgeous autumn day. Great location and first time geocaching with my android phone. Tftc

Quick find while out for a long walk around the park.

Finally a cache where its suppose to be. t4tc

Nice little wooded area and good coords made a quick find for Mrs Pastamaker.

TFTC

Couldn't find this one last year, but got it this time. Thanks for the new coords! The log is dry but the plastic bag needs to be replaced.

Took a little bit of searching but all good

#680 A monster day caching in TWS land. 13/19. Another lovely walk and spot. Saw Peacocks, wood pigeons, just gorgeous. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Spent a long time searching just about everywhere for this one, ended up moving on to another cache...The following morning while in that same area during a team building activity which involved hiding while people search for you using radios etc...My friend stumbled across the cache!!

Was really exciting, nice cache full of lots of different things too. We took the Jeep travel bug & helped move it from Auckland to Wanganui. Thanks!

Stumbled across it during an activity after spending over half an hour looking for it unsuccessfully the day before! Nicely camoflauged. Felt like we accomplished something big! Took the Jeep travel bug. TFTC.

The co-ords a bit out for me - about 12 m. Read the previous logs, used the new co-ords, still a bit out but bingo. Found a "Where to live? TB" in cache and left "Jeep 4x4 #4920 TB"
SL TFTC

TB drop

could not seem to find this one...kept going in circles.

Quick find - once you use the correct coords... in the previous logs

GZ 36 36.687 174 49.275

TFTC

Had to hunt for this one. But a little treat, we stood watching 2 bellbirds feeding 3m away Fantastic. TFTC

Took longer than expected as coords were off a bit. When we used the one's in the previous log we found straight away so thanks for that. Nice big container great hide. TFTC

This one took a while and I was beginning to think twas only a slim chance of finding it. The hint seemed a bit cryptic, but in hindsight made sense so in the end persistance paid! My GPS kept sending me about 8 meters off... took a waypoint at GZ 36 36.687 174 49.275 (though got in a rush so unsure of accuracy)
Thanks for the cache!

A simple cache. Cheers for the adventure.

Took a little time but we found it!

Found this afternoon by the whole clan on a visit to this lovely park. Took nothing, left "Muzza" token from Canada; boomerang; sewing kit and one of our famous calling cards. TFTC - Penguins

Thanks for the cache.

Quick find, thanks.

This was our 2nd attempt at this one with the new Garmin Dakota GPS found it no problem.

Took a while but we got there-fantastic area-thanks for gringing us here.

A welcome short cut from the road.

Not the easiest find today but persistence paid off.
TFTC

Found it on a cool and overcast day at Shakespear Bay ( look at that a poet and I didn't even know it). Good walk with Ann and Fiona as well. This really is a magic spot to visit. The pest proof fence is coming along wel, thanks all you volunteers.

Excellent cache, great hiding spot, thanks!!

In: koala eraser
Out: green bracelet

Arrived at GZ and commenced the search. Co-ords about 10m off but got there in the end. TFTC

A really nice cache. We choose the park for our overnight stay and the cache was found before breakfast. Thanks for this one, I enjoyed it!

Great! A cache before having breakfast! And we had pretty nice weather and a good view.

TftC

Took a while to find - the coordinates seemed a bit off - but we got there in the end.

TFTC!

Nice little pocket of bush, quick find, TFTC

Logged at 18:50 PM during our holidays (coming from the Netherlands).
TFTC

As it was almost 9 am and we had to take the dogs back home, there was not much time for looking around. And hundreds of possible hiding places... beautiful spot though! Greetz from Holland.

I had downloaded the info for this one some time ago and didnt recheck before heading up this way. so i was looking at the old cordinates with the old clue. I hadjust given up looking and was heading away and noticed the cache out of the corner of my eye. Nice quiet spot for a cache. TFTC.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 36° 36.693 E 174° 49.275
Distance From Old: 61.7 feet
A change in the location necessary due to a change in the terrain!

The cache has been found! The location has changed by about 10 metres. Check out the new coordinates.

Anything happening here [?]

We've searched and searched but the cache is gone! Not to worry, it shall be replaced. Check back soon for new info on the replacement cache (the coordinates will be updated as the terrain has changed a bit)

Looked all over sure we were on the right spot but could not find it

Well... I looked quite extensively and I was unable to locate this cache. I spent quite some time looking too... maybe I just missed it? As it has not been found since August I am thinking muggled perhaps?

found it Great hidding spot for a big cash like that!

TFTC

Found the spot, would be a lovely spot for a picnic on a summers day, but no luck finding cache today. Will return one day when its not as wet and try again!

Returned to this cache to place "Socrates" the TB Rat.

Removed Tiger TB.

Cheers
Smith Family

Missed log, was found with 90CRX and No Fixed Aboder

Loggin in the Tiger T/B, that I discovered, to get him back on track.

Easy find but not as quick as we can be sometimes. Was on a mision to clear the park and we did. TFTC

We originally found this cache 2 years ago before ever signing up for a geocache username.

We were back in the area and quickly found it again. Good to see that it has survived.

Cheers
Smith Family

TWS driving, Kiwileon co-pilot and Greenblat as crew.

Secret spot alright.

TFTC

Out with OG Phatazz and GreenblAt in the Wonderzone with TWS as our driver today.
Grass was a bit soggy and muddy today.
Quick find at GZ.
TFTC

A nice quick find but in a great secret little area. SL TFTC

Spent the day with Kiwicouple gathering caches North of Auckland.
Getting on in the day by now - we've found a lot today! This is a very nice part of Shakespear Park. Thanks

We set out with Kiwifeet this morning to see how many caches we could find on the shortest day of the year. This was the 30th of 32 finds today. A nice rural setting for the cache. Thanks for taking us here.

Cache was half visible sos it was a quick and easy find. Took both jeep tbs. Recovered before I left TFTC

I didn't strictly find it but I ordered the soldiers of my Army Reserve unit to do so. We had been doing counter terrorist search training at Whangaparoa camp and this made a fun diversion for them after some more intense activities (ie no booby traps to contend with).

2683. A quick walk to the cache and an equally quick find. Rodney played stick games while we did the logging.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

9.25am. A quick find. Nice in this area today. Took the jeep TB and left two jeep TBs. Thank you. David and Noeline.

14th of our 20 finds in the area today . We seem to have walked all over the park todat but this was probably the best spot as it was sheltered from the wind and had great photo opportunities . Left a keyring and took Maggie. T4TC.

Took a bit of finding, but we did. TFTC

What a hunt! It took us ages to find as our gps was pointing us to the wrong place. We were just about to give up when we broadened our search and soon had the cache in our hands. TFTH!

A bit of a hunt for this one, took ages of looking in all the wrong places However, it was in a nice easy spot and I'm not sure how we missed it for so long. Oh well, spent a while looking at some red parrots flying about and a few mina??? birds - we don't have them things down our way. Heaps of pukeko's in the paddocks up here, I suppose our equivilent is rabbits TNLN Thanks, cache is in good condition.

TFTC

Easy find (surprisingly for us)

Took nothing, left nothing as we had come unprepared

554 metres to the next cache!!!

One of our favourite picnic spots too! Even worth the visit in the rain. Took us a while to locate the cache, nicely hidden.

+Maggie Simpson toy
-tiny blue car
-Kinkie travel bug

TFTC

Love this spot in the park, great for picnics. Took a bit of finding, but got there in the end. Nice cache.

TNLN.

Battery died on the paperless caching device on the way here which left us 'clueless', perseverance paid off though. Geocoin/travelbug swap. Cheers.

This one took us awhile, partly because we got carried away taking pictures, partly because we just couldn't find the thing! Saw quite a few nice hidey-holes (seems like there may be rabbits in the area), but no cache. We eventually did come upon the cache, but after a few sessions of painfully extracting those clingy little seeds that stick to your leg hairs...Ouch! (Tip: Shave before you attempt this one, LOL)

Went there with AnnaFromSweden. Looked around the area, used the hint, unfortunately couldn't find it There was one particular spot that looked perfect for a cache, but it wasn't there... Ah well, maybe our next visit to Shakespear. tftc anyways!

Here are some travelbugs ready to travel.

Here's another travel bug ready to travel.

Long distance training walk today. Getting out on a beautiful day and enjoying great views and sunshine.

THe second of our visit. It is a nice little area of shade on a hot summers day. TFTC

Nice easy find. Left Screwdriver, Took Nothing
TFTC

Found it! Sunny day, nice quiet spot. Wish other caches in the area were as simple . TNLN. Needs a re-camo though. Thanks!

Andy & Kelz.

Nice easy find. TNLN

Eventually found it after a while. Put New Hampshire Fridge magnet in.
Took our NZ Weta. TFTC.

Picked up Ranch TB tag, to take it back to Wenderholm, to reunite it with it's TB.

Took a bit of poking around to find it, and had to dodge around a stroppy peacock. The fourth and final cache of the day. TFTC.

Lovely walk in this beautiful park.
Left a TB disk, we picked this up from GDH5DE at Wenderholm, but left the other part of the TB there.
Hopefully someone will reunite the two.

Wizard family (all 3 generations) took a few minutes to find this one. Took a parachute man for teen wizard to play with (???). Left a weta, which seemed fitting for the environment.

TFTC

Had a quick fossick but alas didn't find it. were getting a little cold by this time and decided to retreat for a coffe and will try again another day.

Exploring the area today, and pleased to discover this cache. Though not much green paint left.
Easy find, due to the usual geocaching markers. Thanks for taking us up the steps through the bush to this this grassy knoll.

Took about 2 minutes to spot this one.
Nice spot - TFTC.

Took a bit of time to discover this one. A beautiful regional park to walk around. TFTC

Quick find in a very secluded area of the park.

Took geocoin

TFTC

Lovely secluded spot.

#576. Last of the day for the St. Ouens tribe and fitting that it should be placed by Pukeko5579 whom we had just met.
I'd always walked up the road before when following the blue trail so nice to find this private area. Swapped TB's. TFTC.

Jumped out of the car after the event cache day. Such a rush to get there as we were short for time ( had to get back to see someone while up here) that I left clues in the car. Fossicking around when Max let out a bark to tell us where it was.
It was a busy day for this cache as we met up again with Rumo and Roel M.
