Logs
Found the logbook without a cache container, safely wrapped in a plastic bag. Owner maintenance (a container) is sorely required.
Definitely a "different" kind of cache, unless part of it has disappeared. The log book was still quite damp, and would need a better protection.

A bit tattered but still claimed as a find!
Ywurry fixed the cache up the best we could. Needs First Aid!

Another little place we would never have visited if it wasn't for this sport. Found the hiding spot and the tag as described by previous cacher. Replaced the tattered with a new waterproof bag & a new log book.

Don't know if I can claim this as a find as the only thing left of the cache is the geonote in a plastic bag, me thinks the Thirroul muggler has struck again.
When you go to the woods today you could be in for a big surprise. The man who has been handing out boiled sweets was tied to a tree and painted yellow.
Found in the dark - by accident (You know what I mean). Cache OK. A good hide in a DARK forest, Thanks.
Wollongong invasion trip by the Canberra based McWiBiTe team.

Nice and simple, quick walk in , hmm that doesn't look exactly right, bingo gotcha. I'm glad I get to take the lids off jars at home as this was on really tight, I deburred the leading edge just a little to ease the situation, a little car wax inside and outside may ease the situation further. Covered securely again.
I could have sworn I seen a teddy bear wandering in the woods nearby looking for a pick, you know, just like the song. 'todays the day the teddy bears get their picks nicked'.

Fresh from the near death experience of the one-headed cerberus guarding Tree Hugger, this was a far more benign experience. Team McWiBiTe made their way harmlessly through the woods and made the quick find.
Thanks PAEGL BOY!!

Found this one after a bit of a search around in the dark. The cache container lid was stuck on and took a fair bit of effort to remove.
Thanks paegle boy for the cache.

Found easily after looking at the clue. It came out of the gound as I was removing the lid. Some work required here if it is to stay in the ground. TNLNSL
some one stuffed it up

Sadly this one has been muggled. Found the thing "not to take out of the ground" but alas it was full of leaves and one marble! Walking back up to the car I found the swaggie ( never seen one before)on the ground.
Left home at 1000h and it was already way too hot! I had been meaning to get out and find this one for a while aber ich hatte keine lust!

paegle boy this must be your best ever. A very clever hide with lots of possibilities and a great container. We took the TB but found no evidence of the GC you mentioned in your log.
Bessie the dog (our mascot)loved it too.

nice easy find at 10.30am.
you may need to go fix it up as when i got there the lid was just siting on top and you can't get it on with all the dirt around the top

Hey nice work buddy
green blob and i found the coordinates a bit out but that was mainly due to the gizmo coverage. The cahce was a full of dirt so we took it out in order to free it of the dirt within.
We made sure we put it back exactly as we found it

This is a very nice spot.

We took it out and cleaned it out a bit.
Very nice hide.

i did no think the wood to get nabbers but it may have been the j man had a look and he did no see it. so i will go have a look soon. what can we do to save the Cache? some help me
Beware……cache nabbers are about!!!!! They’ll steal your cache and destroy it! Please make sure your caches are well hidden so these stupid idiots can be controlled. If you know who is doing the cache nabbing……please inform alfoyle or smish25 via email.
Please from now on…..don’t tell anyone about geocaching…..dont show anyone that doesn’t know about a cache and don’t speak to loudly about it so no one will hear you.
Thanks,
Alfoyle

Found on Fathers Day with the Gribblet and Krafty Charlie.
May need a few more screws but a nice hide. The Gribblet took off to the playground but was dissapointed as it was mostly for bigger kids!

A very pleasant area to take my grandaughter to on Father's Day. Found the cache with no problems, cleaned out the rubbish and left a finger puppet.
SORRY but there is no geocoin in the cache!!!! Obviously someone before has not logged it retrieval.

It is a poorly kept secret how much I love being able to find a cache at lunch time; and this was no exception. Thankfully my concerns about walking through the park in work attire were ill-founded; there was not a soul around.
The cache itself was easy to locate, I simply followed the tracks left by those who went before me to GZ. Once there it was obvious that the cache was hidden where it was, everything else was swept clean. My Philips-Head screw driver was brought in vain; the cachers before me have managed to loose all of the screws.
I have seen hides like this before, however a perusal of PB's finds reveals that he hasn't found one like this before. Just as both Newton and Lebiniz individually discovered calculus, so has PB discovered a very enjoyable hiding method used by others.
Well done, and, as always, Cheers.

I won't call this a DNF as there were a family with kids playing in the park.
The woods down below look like a great spot.

Let the mini rats paly in the park while I headed down to GZ. Found it after a short search and found the missing screw. Left a coin for the next finder. Thanks for the cache
Rode here with Gazma. Found the cache fairly easily, once the GPS actually got a signal. When we found it there were no screws? Put it back exactly where it was. Nice hide

Came with headless cat hoping for FTF. But was beaten by ironbark! Dropped off my whole inventory (needed to get rid of them, pluss a brand new one) this cache deserved it.

Can't believe I was FTF, the rest of you guys must have been right on my tail.
Great hide and the co-ords were right on the money so it was a nice quick find between jobs.
Lid to container may need a rubber ring to seal it from rain and 1 screw was missing.
You certainly put some thought and effort into this one, congratulations.

At the request of theUMP I visitied this cache tonight to make sure everything was above board before it was published. Rest assured this cache is up to standard, by golly it even takes some finding. Because I had an advanced notification I will not claim the FTF, so good luck.
TFTC paegle boy and well done on a quality hide, very good to see.
