It appears that because the magnet failed people have not been able to return the cache to its hidden home.
As a result, the cache has probably been muggled by a gardener

Called by this morning spent some considerable time there.Wasn't where I thought it should have been after looking at the clue.. Coordinates set me in the middle of the car park.Had a very close look all round but to no avail.It may have done a runner.

Went to try and find this on a Saturday afternoon, but couldn't find it where we thought it would be. Traffic turned searching this one into a problem, but will head back when it is quieter for a more comprehensive search!
Great spot. Although we felt as though we were intruding somewhat. Nevertheless, no muggles were present nor noticed our presence. TNLN TFTC. ROSSx4
We now have a personal TB to track the km's travelled while caching so just dipping it in to catch up on the km's

JMelb found after quite a hunt and suspect maybe it wasnt where it was meant to be???but replaced it where we found it.
It had a Plum BBQ Sauce plastic sort of sachet type of thing in it so I took that out as no food is meant to be left in caches...

Feel it's moved from it's current location. Hope it's moved back to where it should be.
Found cache, however seems to not be where it is meant to be, needs checking. Replaced where I found it. TNLN
I sure would not want to do this one on a Sunday, I found the cache in a place where I am sure it was not originally placed, I found a great spot where I thought it may have come from but it would not stay there so I put it back as i found it. Thanks for the cache.
Quickly found while passing through. Cache was a little damp but still okay.

Found this fairly easy today.
The cache was soaking wet but I dried everything the best I could and put back into the cache.

Found at 15:50 on a Sunday afternoon bike ride (find #3 of 6). In the middle of doing a nearby multi (along with a miscalculation), we made a detour to do this one. My mate was surprised to see a cache hidden on such premises. It was nice and quiet at the salvos on this Sunday afternoon. TFTC
was out washing the car and decided to go for a cache hunt. found easily. nice cache.
#25 Waited for the rain to ease then quickly found it. TFTH TNLNSL. I'm not one of their flock but they're a great organisation.
On the way to an appointment at the Monash Council office, dropped in to pick this one up. I was expecting a plaque or something so I was a little confused, but found the cache OK. TNLN. Thanks.
Nice early find for the day. No one about so it was nice and easy. found @ 8:30 am Kems
Whilst killing time waiting for Mr Crackers to come out of surgery I decided to attempt this cache. Fortunately there was no one around today making for a nice easy find.
Thanks for the cache SirloinOfBeef, Cath certainly started a magnificent organization

I suspect from the description, that the cache is no longer exactly where it started off. But it is very close. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache.
Found by Mary & David at 1520. Almost a drive-by. The General and Mrs B certainly started a wonderful organisation. Even now, the Salvos do wonderful things in every natural disaster, and in their day-to-day work. Judging by the container construction, the cache isn't hidden where it was apparently intended to be. Our thanks again to SirLoinOfBeef.
This was a great day to do this. The sun was out and as I got closer I heard the lovely singing from within. There is a lot we should be thankful for from this group of hard working people
It took a bit to work it out but glad you bought me here. Took traveller.

Found this one on the way to work. Left home early, but traffic ended up been heavier soI was a little late, but boss wasn't in yet either. Thank Goodness.

That is one huge lump of steel making up that cross. We knelt at its base, said thanks to Cath, and grabbed the cache.

Certainly a worthy cache or more correctly a worthy reason for a cache. The Salvation have achieved and still are doing many great things in society. Took us a little while to find this one despite the clue but Captain Tomato came up with the goods eventually.
Thanks SirLoinOfBeef

Found with Chewingprickles. Took a few minutes to spy the hide but find it we did. Thanks for bringing us to this spot.
Team hayjagen found this one at 1:50 pm. Our first of two on a blistering hot day.
Good cache,
One of us accidentily stumbled over it before we found it. We had a large contingent of newbies with us.
And it definitely was in a place that permission would need to be granted.

Hot and tired when I arrived at this one so cheated a bit by using the hint after not being able to pin GZ down quickly. The cache was hidden from easy viewing but was sort of out in the open as the 'black thing' isn't working. TFTC!
Visited at 15:59
Ah...... That was just what we needed.
A nice quick & easy find on the way home after a hot & tiring day.
We were a bit concerned about the strength of the attacher, but over all it is a great place for a hide, nice job!
TNLNSL TFTC, find #435 for Echo & Spice.

Found 11:25, initially the GPS had us searching in a rather untidy pieces of bush next top the creek, but then we read the hint and the cache was quickly found. Very nice.
TNLN, CSI=3, thanks SirLoinOfBeef.

I found the cache pretty quickly and I said to Geoson, "I thought there was supposed to be a ----- around here somewhere" - He thought I was pretty dumb, and so did I when I had a better look at the hiding place !
Thanks SirLoinOfBeef. Keep up the good work.

Heading out for a day tackling Rabbitto's 13th Cache and while stopped at a set of traffic lights I noticed that Tomtom was telling me that a cache was 50m away. So a quick U-turn and as the rain started I made a quick find.

Find # 2649 and 11th of the day at 1:54pm. Accompanied by Feathertop on another caching day in the eastern suburbs. Easy find, TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx SirLoinOfBeef....
We felt a bit uneasy searching here but the place was deserted and I am glad to read that you have permission to hide the cache here too.
Thanks for the pair of caches

Found this one at 18:40 while on the way home from a great bike ride alongside Eastlink today. It was too close to pass up but with only the coordinates to go by, it had me going for a little while before a quick look in an "it couldn't possibly be there" place had me with the cache in hand . Having now read the cache notes though, it all makes sense.
TNLNSL. Thanks SirLoinOfBeef.

1573. Once I got close I realised where the cache was and I was very relieved that their was nobody around. Not sure my mum would agree with this hide but I thought it was cool.

Got this one during a service - full car park, church officers walking around outside, the works! A quick duck in, fill in the log, then out before anyone spotted us.

There are two times to get this cache, at night or on Sundaymorning when everyone is inside. We chose the latter and made a quick find. Left appropriately Salvo Sam TB. Thanks for the cache.

REALLY on our way home now, and grabbed this one.
Cache may need a little maintenance as it wants to move vertically a bit.

17:24 King snr. After a very successful day on the bowling green, king and found the cache on the way home. We have always had great respect for the salvos. Thanks for bringing us here. In cactus tv
Thankfully we found this cache without disturbing anyone. An inspirational woman, indeed.
Thanks to SirLoinOfBeef.

Almost drove straight past this one until I woke up. The gps had me looking elsewhere until the clue made it easy. Thanks for a good hide in a good cause.
Nice find in the pre dawn, was going to leave a geocoin but it was too heavy for the cache.

Found this one early on Sat morning so no one at premises. The container is just holding on with the magnet not being strong enough - tried to put a geocoin in but it dropped out onto the ground and couldnt hold it - possibly replace magnet with stronger one? TFTC
Found at 1400. Arrived at GZ and quickly had the cache hidey hole sorted out. Nice tribute. Cath is probably one of the most important co-founders for charitable aid that there has been.
Thanks.
Thanks.
We found our 2nd SirLoinOfBeef cache at 11:30am as the final of 3 on our just supposed to be going to the Hardware Store trip in company of Cold Freeze. We did get to the hardware store and managed to squeeze this one in on the way home. When we arrived, the cache was in the hands of Franklj, who even after all these years we had never met until today. Thanks for the cache from D, H & A B-A.
I was due at the Rabbitto household very shortly so I made a dash from Diamond Park to grab a few caches around this neighbourhood. I am a great admirer of Cath's legacy, they do a terrific job and I'm always willing to help where I can. The cache was neatly concealed and still sitting where it should be.
Thanks!

Cache is fine. I meet another couple of cachers here after I had done all the hard work! Thanks for the pair of caches SirLoinOfBeef.
[I approached GZ with hesitation, but soon realised that I had the place to myself - so I decided to just dive in. The easiest of finds because the cache was lying on the ground! It had fallen from its hiding position, seems the sticky tape is now not strong enough to hold the cache in place.] (I suggest that magnets are in order here!) [SL at 4:45pm. I managed to stick the cache back in place, but it will fall again - probably already has. Thanks again SirLoinOfBeef for the cache! Regards, 38degsouth.]
Cache is repaired, but still not ideal for coins.

Found at 12.30pm while doing a round of caches in the area. Good hiding spot. Left Lambzo geocoin to begin it's journey.TFTC
Found it at 8.35 am, wondered when pprass sleeps! Anyhow, 2ndTF is not so bad. Dropped in South Tyrolean geocoin to celebrate. TFTC
Found at 7.55am GAFF1. A tempting decision - hurry up with breakfast and do this cache on the way to work, or just leave it for the evening. Then a vision flashed in my mind of this bearded bikie pulling up at 9.45am - so that was it - decision made - do the cache which is right on my route to work - no need to detour. Got to GZ and - oh yeah - I know this place - I pass it twice every workday and on weekends it is very busy. No one about this morning so I headed straight to where I thought it would be, but nothing there, then I looked at my GPS and it went haywire - 65m EPE and a distance of 18m . I didn't have the hint, so I picked another likely spot and luckily the cache was found [^]. Thanks SirLoinOfBeef - hope you have permission to place the cache there!

I hadn't been planning on doing any caches this morning but, when I saw this newie had been published and read pprass' log, I figured I'd better not disappoint him so did yet another detour on the way to work (every day this week, I think) to nab this and its nearby mate. I'd checked it out with Google Maps (they're so detailed these days, you don't really need a GPSr in many cases) so there were no surprises when I got to GZ - and it was lucky that I had because, like pprass, my GPSr was behaving uncharacteristically and jumping around a lot too (maybe something in the air around here ). I think the co-ords for this may be a bit out (judging from the Google image), but I had the clue and didn't hesitate to use it - after which a quick find was had .
TNLN, but did take a geocoin which had been left by Dicksontwo who had logged the cache sometime before me. I also dropped off a TB.
Thanks again SirLoinOfBeef - the Salvos are a huge community asset and do a fantastic job .
